MIX: Basement Session - A Wackie's Thing

Here's a new old-style podcast that focusses on production work of Lloyd Barnes, better known as 'Bullwackie' or simply 'Wackie'. Jamaican producer Lloyd Barnes is the founder and owner of the so called 'Wackie’s House of Music' in New York, one of the (if not the) biggest reggae label in the US. He also had his own Wackie's studio in New York and recorded many artists (both Jamaican and other nationalities) with the quite unique and recognizable Wackie's sound. The studio and label were founded in the later 70s, though Bullwackie himself has been active in the music business before that too, releasing tunes on other labels than his Wackie's. This podcast contains tunes from singles from the 70s and 80s and gives an impression of the works of this fine producer. Since a couple of years a big reissue program of Wackie's material has been going on, so there's plenty of Bullwackie productions commercially available. Check it out.
