Babylon Rockers #27 — Reggae Jazz

Solid Steel (17th November) In Hour 1 we turn the spotlight on Mr Bongo the record shop and label that became an established bearer for hard-to-find, classic Latin music, particularly Brazilian, but also further afield and the first UK shop to sell vinyl releases from independent hip hop labels such as Def Jam, Rawkus and Nervous. It began in Venezuela 30 years ago – filling suitcases with amazing latin records to bring back to Europe. And it continued ever since; private warehouse visits in the US, dusty back street basements in South America, houses and garages in Africa, and lesser-known spots in Europe and Asia. Mr Bongo bring eclectic and unexpected Brazilian, Latin, African, Jazz, Soul, Reggae and Psychedelic flavours to the dance-floor with a seemingly bottomless stock of weird and wonderful selections. They told us;
"This mix was put together by David ‘Mr Bongo’ Buttle, Gareth Stephens, Gary Johnson and Graham Luckhurst. A selection of some of the deepest cuts from the their record collections, taking in Brazilian, African, soul, jazz, folk, psyche and disco. A reflection of what they spin during DJ sets and in radio shows plus a few mellow moods, chosen specifically to fit the Solid Steel vibe. Mostly acquired in a pre-Discogs world where the prices were nice. We hope you enjoy this mix and listen to it often."

Roots Of Vinyl #7 • Jazzfunk

Summertime
make it slow, I feel like...Reggae.
This time I was diggin deep in my vinyl basement to shine some light on a later period of Jamdown sounds: late 70´s till mid 80´s, the time when proto digital productions , drummachines & synths , early rap and the soulful UK lovers rock entered the international arena. Sly & Robbie were kings of the scene and the underground procucers pushed the evolution of reggae music on  a totally new level. Worldwide.

Enjoy the ride, rude bwoys & girlz! It´s a strictly vinyl mixtape affair.
No full tracklisting available, but feel free to ask for single tunes.

Have a good summer &
stay healthy !
