MIX: Hard One Fe Dem - a modern UK roots style mix


BMC alongside SPRINGLINE JAMAICA To celebrate the one year anniversary of Springline Jamaica online radio (not operational anymore these days), a large celebration was held on friday april 25th 2008 with a marathon-broadcast at their radiostation with contributions from a whole heap of people, among which a mix of myself. Here is said mix up for listen for one and all, including the Springline jingles alongside my own. Mix is focused on modern reggae with a UK roots sound. Not all from the UK, but I just use that description to give a general idea of what to expect. Contains contributions from big names from the scene like Jah Warrior, Russ D (Disciples), Twilight Circus, Dougie Conscious, Barry Issac, Manila Jeepney crew, King Shiloh + Dub Creator and more. Producers and engineers that still make wicked dubs for the flipsides of the records and make sure the bass is in full affect in their productions. Those I've been in contact with are very nice people too who deserve all support. The sounds in the mix, as usual, are shorter pieces of the tunes mixed together to a 45 minutes showcase of modern roots and dub. Most, if not all, of the music in this mix is still available for sale, so if you like what you hear and want to hear the full tunes in good quality, I'd say go get 'm! A good source for finding (amongst others) UK styled music is http://www.reggaemusicstore.com , from the man Jah Warrior himself. Enjoy!
