WHODEMDIGILP001 J.Robinson WhoDemSound Records Digital Volume 1 Out Now On Bandcamp

This was another last minute, catch a vibe selection. No planning, just vibes. This one a nice mix of 80's tunes, early to mid. This one all og 12s,  80s rub-a-dub vibes!! My first session with the vintage space echo, so that is going to take a little practice. Wicked piece of machine!! This selection full of killers and some classics. I am sure you will enjoy. just a warning, watch your levels, i recorded late at night, trying not to wake the neighborhood. so levels are a little iffy, i am hoping I am wrong, but do no want to blow a speaker. I do not think that the levels wii be an issue, but full disclosure. Big respect to all!!

Tack list soon come:
worth a listen!

Kojak - Mr. Big Man inna 80s twelve inch style (june 26 2019) WAV

I fell in love with Jamaican styles of music in my teenage days. At the age of 16 I started collecting & playing records. I started to set up King David Soundsystem in 1995. It has always been a work in progress system. I started with 500 watts and played roughly 10k in 2010. Traveling to many places I met a lot of people and I really give thanks for a load of amazing experiences. Jah know! 
Living in Berlin since 2000 I´ve been an integral part of the local Reggae/Soundsystem scene until around 2012. Since 2022 I´m back with the new King David Soundsystem 2.0, ready to kick off my label "Ital Breakfast Records" and also proudly presenting the „Ital Breakfast Radioshow“ on https://hearticalfm.com and https://www.omyradio.net the 2nd Saturday every month.
