I was wondering what Woody the fictional character from Shane Meadow's 2006 film 'This Is England' would have had on his Sony Walkman back in 1983? this got me thinking so I put together this hour long mix of Skinhead Reggae & Ska featuring fabulous artists such as Laurel Aitken, The Kingstonians, John Holt, Dandy, Tommy McCook, Alton Ellis, Audrey, Jackie Opel, Dice The boss, Clancy Eccles, The Maytals and many more... enjoi!

Woodys Walkman

Woodys Walkman ~ Skinhead Reggae n' Ska

Here's a bit o' Truffle Funk played early on in the evening to get things started ~ also a bit of solid advice from TJ at the start haha ;)

Early Doors Funk Attack

Lil'-itty-bitty taster of some trufflin' sounds at Bacchus, Kingston upon Thames. 10pm till 2am, 2 Squids & nice vibes!

Truffle Sampler

“New, Exciting, WOW!!!” (I got that off a car bumper sticker by the way) perfectly sums up how I felt when listening to these unknown bands from the mid-1960s for the first time. ‘Garage Rock’, ‘60’s Punk’ or ‘Garage Punk’, whatever term you wanna use, has got me jumping around in frenzied dances to these fuzzy distorted guitar riffs partnered with bluesy mouth harmonicas, palm slappin’ tambourines, meandering organs, crazed drum patterns & caveman-worthy wails ~ wild just ain’t the right word for this, primeval more like! this really is the holy grail of rock, punk & roll!

Every track on this (with the exception of the already established Dick Dale’s Surf Beat & the odd covers in there) are worthy of number one slots, I love every track on here, seriously, the energy & rebellious raucous sound is just what the more often than not stale music scene these days needs to shake it up a bit. Give it a listen, get to know, request some at my club nights…
Till dancin’ time,
KripStar.
