MIX: Dillinger meets the Singers inna Showcase Stylee

New episode of BMC's Reggae Mixes with yet another deejay as the central point of attention. This time a deejay with his biggest tunes in the 70s, who got a bit of a 'commercial' reputation after his Cocaine In My Brain became a big international hit. Yep, it's Dillinger we're talking about, a deejay who made plenty of big tunes in his days for various producers riding riddims voiced by various singers. This mix wont focus on the Cocaine In My Brain kinda tracks, but on the rootsy side of Dillinger with a whole lot of different singers in the mix with added instrumental and dub versions. No singer appears twice in this 80 minutes mix, giving a wicked variety of styles and vibes. Tracks come from various studio's like Studio 1, Channel One, Black Ark and more. All in all, 80 minutes of roots niceness with the man Dillinger as the central point of attention. Furthermore you know the deal: no full tunes, shorter pieces mixed together with added sound effect.

MIX: Delroy Wilson - Let There Be Love

New DOUBLE episode of BMC's Reggae Mixes with a mix based on the music of my favourite reggae singer: DELROY WILSON! I've made quite a few mixes by now, but my favourite singer was still waiting to be the focus of a mix and here it is. Often overlooked, Delroy Wilson doesn't always get the credits he deserves. Double episode, could have easily been a triple or more, so many good tunes by this man! Mix lasts a little under 80 minutes and contains many of my favourite Delroy tracks and some version and deejay cuts. Tunes are from a variety of labels, studios, producers and musicians and cover quite a big part of his career, though mostly focus on the period late 60s - late 70s. His ska recordings for Studio 1 are left out. It's interesting to hear the change in his voice over the years, I here tried to show with 4 versions of Delroy's Dancing Mood going in steps through his career. Personally I've always rated his later period with his voice more matured a bit higher than his early years, but both periods are extensively covered here. Sadly Delroy Wilson died in 1995 at the way too young age of 46 years old, but left behind a catalogue to be enjoyed forever. What a singer.
For all tracks sources are given so if you rate the music, you can track down copies yourself to get the full tunes (as always, here only short pieces are used in one continuous mix, no full tunes) in good quality without samples. Support the music! Check it out and if you appreciate the effort, be so kind to let me know via a comment. Thanks and enjoy!

MIX: Dub Along - a late 70s Black Ark selection

Double episode - foundation stylee! Lee 'Scratch' Perry, a crazy genius! There's lot to say on the man and his works, but many already did so much better than I possibly could so I wont try. Check for instance David Katz' very nice book People Funny Boy on the life of Perry and his musical legacy. This lenghty mix focusses on the later period of recording in Perry's Black Ark studio, mid to late 70s, my favorite period of Perry as producer. This ofcourse does not mean that his earlier work can be ignored. On the contrary, it is great, I just prefer this a bit better. This selection draws from various sources, artists and type of riddims, though all with that 'Black Ark sound'. By no means a 'best of', but mainly a selection of both common and less common tunes that I rate highly. I could easily make a few more episodes like this, there's too many big tunes, but I wont. Let this mix take you on a trip down memory-lane, introduce you to unknown tunes or maybe a bit of both with Lee 'Scratch' Perry at the controls! As always, not full tunes, pieces blended to almost an hour of roots from the Black Ark. Details of sources are given if you'd like to track down the tracks to hear 'm sample-free, in full and in good quality. 7" tracks are mostly from CD-R copies, I wish I owned the originals of those.

MIX: Never Give Up - a 70s roots selection

Here's a new mix with a rather random 70s vocal roots selection complete with their versions. Most of my mixes so far have been focussing on recent years or the 80s, so it was about time a strictly 70s mix was added to it. There's not a special theme for this one, the only restrictions I gave myself was no repetition of artist or label of the 45 and mainly tunes around the middle part of the decade (not too sure about the exact release dates though), resulting in 13 different vocal-tracks with their b-side version. As always, no full tunes, shorter pieces mixed together. Most of these track come from reissued 45s, so if you like what you hear and want the full tunes in good quality without sound effects, go get 'm! ;-)

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.
