King Jammy's Selectors Choice Vol 2

With all roads leading to Notting Hill this weekend, it only seems right I post this.... can't think of a better word to describe this selection than choice, as it bumps like jeep with a broken suspension on dirt road in the Jamaican countryside! This box set features 4CDs of the 80s output of Lloyd King Jammy James, the man who elevated the Casio from musical toy to a sound bwoy killing beat machine! An essential musical portrait of the man who virtually single handedly transformed the Dancehall era and influenced the sound of an entire generation of Jamaican music, with the tracks arranged by rhythm. This volume features 80 cuts on 4 discs essentially collecting all of the material separate earlier 2CD collections enjoy!...and if you are heading down to W2/ W11 this weekend Be careful, be safe but most of all, BE GOOD!

Blood and Fire: Roots Reggae and Rastafari

"...Don Letts reveals how the Rastafari movement helped Jamaica recover a lost identity after years of British colonial rule and had a profound effect on Jamaican music, culminating in one of the most exciting periods in roots reggae.

At one time Jamaica was a place of feel-good sunshine vibes but as grinding poverty, high crime rates and violence hit the island in the 1970s, the music became darker and introspective. It provided a voice for the poor and the oppressed and became a global phenomenon in the process.
We all know Bob Marley as the world's most famous Rastafarian but his story is well documented and often overshadows a wealth of talent from a golden period of roots reggae music. This is the story of other Rastafarian artists and bands like Burning Spear, Max Romeo, Johnnie Clarke, Little Roy, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Big Youth, The Mighty Diamonds, Black Uhuru and Culture. And the documentary also covers how the Roots and Rasta message found its way to the UK, spawning British based reggae bands like Steel Pulse and Matumbi.

The documentary first broadcast in 2007 and features interviews with reggae legends such as Max Romeo, Johnny Clarke, Stephen Marley, The Abyssinians, The Mighty Diamonds, Steel Pulse, Matumbi, Rankin' Miss P, Rico Rodriguez, Tappa Zukie and Luciano. It is scheduled ahead of Radio 2's new ten-part reggae series, presented by David Rodigan, which will broadcast Thursday nights..."

Mixtape | Frank Ocean – Lonny Breaux (64 Unreleased Frank Ocean Songs)

Frank Ocean is a stage name, and our guy Frank previously went by the pseudonym Lonny Breaux. The artist formerly known as Lonny Breaux has been writing songs and making music for a while now, and reportedly has collaborated with the likes of Justin Bieber, Ne-Yo, Rihanna, and more….

Mr. Ocean released prior to and after his breakout album Nostalgia, ULTRA (download here) that are put together what he so aptly titled The Lonny Breaux Collection. Such a thing is not in anyway an official release from Frank Ocean, however it is a ton of music you probably haven’t heard from the persistently mysterious Frank Ocean. It’s also worth mentioning that these tracks include production from several big producers; The Runners, J.R. Rotem, and Midi Mafia.

The Red Bull Culture Clash

"...The Roundhouse had these generations all together in one venue, four pounding rigs set around the circular arena, Metalheadz, Digital Mystikz, Trojan and Soul II Soul. Red Bull had equipped the event with some of the most nose-itching bass and pant-wetting selectors to ever grace a rig, and from the gig's start the place was getting rammed out. Trojan smoothed any pre-clash nerves with Ken Boothe's Everything I Own and some Delroy Wilson, and then everyone wheeled round to see Goldie's old mucker Storm begin proceedings with John B's anthem Up All Night. It was odd seeing people shocking out to Metalheadz' bass rig having been shuffling around to reggae love songs a seconds earlier, but the mix worked.

Next was DMZ's turn, and this is when the drama started. After young Coki committed the schoolboy error of messing up the mix out of his beautiful Sizzla Dry Cry remix, MC Sgt Pokes got on the mic: "It's nice to hear all that jungle, that old stuff. I feel bad here, 'cause we're murdering the elderly. All the others sounds are shit." This was enough to spark off a serious confrontation between DMZ and Metalheadz, that saw GQ administer them a severe ticking off in the next round: "Digital - don't let me hear you saying that any of the other sounds are shit. You wouldn't be around without sounds like Trojan, who came with dubwise, and as for Soul II Soul, I was hitting their nights in the Africa Centre when you were in your nappies bruv, so show respect." Then when jungle turncoat DJ Zinc appeared at the dubstep rig tempers looked set to explode. "What are you doing over there!" bellowed GQ furiously from across the Roundhouse, as Zinc disappeared sheepishly behind a speaker.

Jazzie B turned up armed with 16 dubplates, the most memorable being one being a Shabba Ranks record and another by Gregory Isaacs. Andy C and Goldie got the crowd rocking to Bad Company's Nitrous, Taktix's The Way, and Capone's Tudor Rose before DMZ pulled the carpet away by claiming they were too 'One Nation' and played some more obscure rollers. Soul II Soul were many's favourite, playing some diaphragm-puncturing industrial hip hop and funk, while Trojan kept the atmosphere warm and easy as Superfour struck a singular figure on stage with goofy front teeth, raffish bandanna and blind man's stick. In terms of unbridled competition, a gag-reflex sound system and incredible span and quality of urban music, Clash had never seen anything like it. Metalheadz won - Goldie danced a jig while Mala kissed his teeth - but it didn't matter. The Roundhouse got a night that will live on in b-boy lore for years to come..."
