Review: On its initial release in 2010, Rick Wilhite's Vibes New & Rare Music collection picked up plenty of plaudits, not least for its delicious mix of stargazing deep house from Chicago and Detroit. Here, Wilhite presents an album sampler featuring three suitably gorgeous cuts from the near-essential LP. There's a dash of simmering deep house-jazz from Glenn Underground ('Ninja'), a beatdown-meets-classic jack track from Vincent Halliburton ('Something I Feel') and a chunk of pleasing analogue deepness from Marcellus Pittman ('In Due Time'). If you missed the album first time round, now's the time to dive in.

Prepped a little beats mix recently. Killer summer music for the Southern Hemisphere. Mixed and unmixed for your listening pleasure.

I don't delve too deep into Dancehall on this site, but I had a gig lined up so needed to catch up! So I've been feeling the heat on these bangers in the last little bit. The funky instrumental. No one did it better than Coxsone at Studio One thanks to lead musical directors like Jackie Mittoo and Tommy McCook. Mittoo lending his funky organ grooves to a number of specials.

And horn cuts, which were fundamental to the early sound also getting special treatment from the likes of Vin Gordon and Tommy McCook, both at Studio One and later Treasure Isle. First in an upcoming series of Reggae instrumental and versions.

For DJ use only!!!! A massive month for reggae fans - three (make that four) long play albums from the cream of the modern roots reggae crop. Chronixx delivered his debut LP with a slew of singles with some fresh soul/hip hop vibes to boot, some loved, some hated.

For me maybe a few more big new hits would have sealed the deal. Second Samory I and Rory Stone Love released his debut album to much praise sticking true to the heavy roots sound abound. A bit same samey in parts and his voice wobbles in part, but the militancy is strong!

Speaking of militant, non other than Jr Gong dropped his much awaited album and it doesn't dissapoint. As for the fourth album, that kudos goes to Mark Wonder riding some killer riddims, SOILD as a rock.

Riddim wise we also have some biggies too - a new one Upful is top notch, from Zincfence sideshoot Black African productions. On the 90s digital tip is Digital Salute, Far East, Digital Fashion and Darker Shades - all bouncing, grinding authentic digital roots that would slam any dancehall! • Chronology • Chronixx - Selassie Children Chronixx - Country Boy Chronixx - Skankin' Sweet Chronixx - Spanish Town Rockin' Chronixx - Likes • Stony Hill • Damian Marley - Speak Life Damian Marley - Upholstery (feat.

Better drop these while they are still fresh! Plenty of good roots reggae riddims dropping once again. Holidays around these parts and the need for driving music is a must. So what I like to cruise, amp froth to are some future hip hop, soul and beets. A game of two halves for this set, first part hip hop, second part beets, all kinda melding together as one, borrowing from another with ease. And that's how I dig it.

Been a while, work, life. Big tunes drop here we go. We start (and end) with Dionne Reid, a killer cross-over UK artist (Barrington Levy cover, Tuff Scout single) that rides the riddim since 19-long-time. Up next is some killer BB Seaton produced relick biz from his OG Soul Beat catalogue with Funny Feeling, featuring Lady Lex, Dennis Alcapone and some R&B stylez from.Chris Stylez.

Jah 9 (seriously yawn, pass me the chalice.lol) has a few killers amongst the yoga tunes off her VP album, but for me it's the freestylez from her pre-album EP drop the 9mm where she rides some serious 70/80s roots riddims that does it for me. Next up is the Jammys - New Sounds of Freedom, which to be perfectly honest is a little hum hah over the mixing on this. Legendary riddims yes, A grade vocalists yes, but seriously, I can splice a tune like that on my mixer! Am I being too harsh? Included anyway. Compare that to the Stephen Marley album - all killer.

Pushing boundries production wise as all Tuff Gong biz does and some tight hip hop/reggae vocal combos. Riddim wise we have Overstand's Mile High Riddim featuring killer cuts form Jesse Royal, Morgan Heritage and Bushman. Through Thoughts (hip hop, latin, beats label) drop an solid one-drop riddim and Idlers Corner drop the Chatty Chatty Mouth riddim both featuring both underground and overground UK vocalists. The old guard Shaggy, Rayvon, Screechy Dan, Red Fox and Assassin spit on perhaps the biggest riddim of the all - Sitara riddim. And as I mentioned, Dionne Reid rounds it up with some soundcheck mixes of Bam Bam and Ring Di Alarm.

This is how I like it when not listening to reggae.jazzy, soul, funk, latin and hip hop vibes!

Fraturing new 'ish from Protoje, Exile Di Brave, The Smile Jamaica LP and the big and rootsy Kirkledove LP. Big riddims include relicks Creamy Corner (He Prayed/Ice Cream Love), Ballistic Affair, Joe Frazier and a few off the Kabaka Mix Tape plus Guidance and Protection, Maad Sick, Kuff, Different Eyes etc. Some maad tunes in here.We have my faves off the killer Dennis Brown tribute, the new Alborosie, Raging Fyah and Silly Walks albums, the one riddim on here is Lion Paw and it's massive with Chronixx, Keznamdi and Keilssa.

We also have single drops from Protoje, Damian Marley, Cham, Christopher Martin, Morgan Heritage, Teflon et al. Perhaps one if not the most iconic dub albums of all time, Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires captures perfectly the last of the Channel One sound before digital swept the nation.

In 1980/1981 (the year of my birth) the Roots Radics were as militant yet sweet as ever. Songs taken from The Wailing Souls, Michael Prophet and Johnny Osbourne albums (all with Scientist on the mixing desk) where twisted and tweaked by the dub extraordinaire Scientist at the controls yet again. Howls, screams and cackles ensue. Classic Junjo material mixed inna Scientist stylee featuring Johnny Osbourne and his dangerous Never Stop Fighting LP with some Hugh Mundell and Toyan/Billy Boyo DJ nuggets in dere. The first in a series of posts showcasing the amazing dubs of Scientist and the vocal cuts his killer mixes originate from. First up we bring you the 'The Best Album in the World' and the vocals from that album being Al Campbells - Working Man. Al Campbell - You Won't Be Jamming Scientist - Steppers (You Won't Be Jamming) Al Campbell - Jah Love Scientist - Chemistry (Jah Love) Al Campbell - Lighthing And Thunder Scientist - Front Line (Lighthing And Thunder) Al Campbell - Working Man Scientist - Elasticated (Working Man) Al Campbell - Rock it Up Scientist - Rocking (Rock it Up) Al Campbell - Teaser Scientist - Jungle (Teaser) Al Campbell - Take Warning Scientist - Rubber Foot (Take Warning) And if anyone knows the vocal cuts of these two - hollar!

Sketchup License Key 2015. I had a little Studio One Soul facebook challenge this week with some mates and thought what better than to post a drop (or two) of bonafide classic soul cuts from Brentford Road. A few banging riddims in this lot - Crown Love which as Twice mentioned is a version of Tonight riddim (aka Cocoa Tea - Too Young) and the killer Dub Detergent Riddim which is a version of Soap riddim. Both bubbly yet stabby dancehall beats. 2015 in Jamaica saw the Herb, Collie, Ganja, Marijuana, Weed, High Grade, Cannabis legalised. And the artists sure are happy about this! Some recent and not so recent Ganja tunes inna mix!
