REGGAE DANCEHALL SMASH Turn on Breakfast radio in the UK and you're subjected to Robbie Hurry-Up-And-Die-On-The-Toilet Williams or the latest smudge from the talent show cunt-cannons. In Barbados you tune in the radio before sunrise and get classic Reggae dancehall. No wonder everyone is so happy. Spice - Rude Boy Love (feat.

You know how this thing goes, we rarely are the first to bring you the latest in Jamaican Dancehall music but when we find one we deliver it. For the past few weeks we've been hearing this song on local radio, searching all over for it with no luck. Tonight, we finally found it. The song is titled "Amazing" and is sung by Pinchers (" Agony " and " Bandelero "). The song is on the Turn It Up Riddim . We love this one because it sounds like something from the 902s; it sounds [...]
APATZINGAN, Michoacan — In farm towns across the state of Michoacan, residents are used to seeing military patrols rumbling through their streets. But until late last month, they had never seen soldiers descending on City Hall. After surrounding the whitewashed building in Apatzingan's central square, masked troops armed with AK-47 rifles arrested the mayor, Genaro Guizar Valencia. Authorities accused Guizar — and more than two dozen other officials across the state — of working for La Familia Michoacán, an ascendant drug cartel guided by a messianic cult that promises to protect the poor while [...]
My favourite label (and I'm sure many others) for releasing quality archival compilations is Soul Jazz Records . As the name suggests they focus on soul, jazz extended to ska, dub and reggae. Two of their most recent comps have been getting their spot on the turntable lots recently. First up is The Rise Of Jamaican Dancehall Culture a guide and who's who in the explosion of Dancehall in Jamaica in the 1980s and its subsequently rise throughout the world. The release is to accompany a book which [...]
"The Rise Of Jamaican Dancehall Culture" is an essential reference for anyone interested in Reggae. The album is jam-packed with over two hours of some of dancehall's finest moments, and you can also pick up a 200-page book by the same name that chronicles its effect on culture and music around the world. If you're ever looking for a good reggae album to pick up, I highly recommend this one. Get more information at Soul Jazz Records . Beware, this stuff is addictive. Pinchers - "Agony" [...]

Originally produced by Bobby Digital and released on his Digital B imprint in 1992, Dirtsman's classic " Hot This Year " gets a timely reissue on Tuff Gong (of all places!). I'm incredibly excited about this, as it's another hot tune from my youth that has been out of my grasp on 7" for some time. Needless to say, I'm stoked to have it in my possession. A year after "Hot This Year" was released, Dirtsman's dancehall ascendance was cut short when he was robbed and killed in Spanish Town. A trend that happened all too [...]
