MIX: Ruling Sound - a mid-late 80s 45s mix inna digital stylee

After the succesfull first episode of a 80s-digital-stylee-45s-mix I did over 1,5 years ago, here finally is part 2! Twice as long, just as nice! The very nice response on the first one made we want to make a next episode for some time now and I had plenty of tunes to include, just didn't get to it until now. Variety of labels, artists and productions. Check out the wicked opening series of 'sound killing' tunes, the continuing of the Modern Girl riddim from part 1 with two other cuts on it here, a Sleng Teng segment includig no less than 5 tracks on the Harry J lick of the riddim, another Jazzbo produced combination of Horace Ferguson and U-Roy tunes on Ujama, the Agony riddim of Admiral Bailey's Big Belly Man included in part 1 here with three other cuts etc. etc. Some riddims more kinda semi-digital than pure digital, but all from the period 85 - 89 and all recorded from the 45s, no mp3s here. No full tunes as usual either, shorter pieces mixed together to one continuous mix of a little over 60 minutes and believe me, IT NICE! :-) The mentioned part 1 is still available too; mix called *** Ruff & Tuff *** , scroll down to hear that one!

MIX: Ruff & Tuff - a late 80s 45s mix inna digital stylee

With the introduction of the famous Sleng Teng riddim by Jammy$ in the mid 80s a new trend was set for digital reggae. The later 80s dancehall scene was ruled by digital riddims and gave way to numerous classics and sometimes nowadays higly sought after tunes. As one of the many interesting era's in Jamaican music I wanted to make a nice mix of it and here it is. I've recorded a bunch of my 45s from the period (i.e. late 80s) and mixed them together. Not the full tunes, parts of it that give a great idea of the tune itself. This mix has both classics and rather unknown tunes with a wicked Belly Man series, some nice Courtney Melody's, Pinchers', Robert French, a young Beenie Man, White Mice and much more. I've included some pics of the labels in the picture that comes with this episode. Enjoy!
