As we say adios to 2021 and enter 2022, the one consistency is music being a central part of our lives. On this week‘s session, I feature some songs that have been played numerous times during this past year along with some fresh new cuts and old school classics.

It‘s holiday time and what better way to greet the season than with a cut from Eek-A-Mouse and his Christmas classic ”Christmas A Come”

This session includes releases more personal picks from Pachyman, Blood Sisters and Night Owls, new music from Stick Figure & Prince Fatty and Human Rights alongside old school gems from The Untouchables and Jacob Miller.

On this week‘s show, I‘ll be featuring new tracks from Krak In Dub and RudeSix, some of my personal picks which include Butch Cassidy Sound System and Pachyman, along with a side order of classics from Leroy Sibble and Lloyd Parks.

Tune Juggling 3 is back in the driver‘s seat for another hour jam-packed full of fresh and top tunes for your ears. New tracks from Royal Blu meet The Autos, JStar, Dynamike with Prince Wadada & Tammy, Shumba Youth & Sleepy Time Ghost and heaps more.

Back again for another jam-packed hour of music. On today‘s show, I‘ve managed to pry in 15+ songs for your groove on Tune Juggling 2.

Tracks include Zion Train, King Tubby, Human Rights, Horace Andy, Lotek, Chronixx and more. Sit back, strap in, crank up the low and enjoy the ride.

In today‘s episode I dive into the stacks and do some tune juggling - from the Lions to Sister Nancy, classic roots from Eric Donaldson and Gregory Isaacs to the recent Vibronics and Swindle releases. The goal - pack as much music into one hour.

Back for another edition of the Bassment Sessions where I share a selection of new music that‘s come across my desk over the past few weeks.

Kick back, turn up the volume and enjoy an hour of serious grooves.

For this special episode, I sifted through hundreds of songs I felt fell into the “rare” category as most are unknown or ultra-rare 7” releases or as I call them,  Rare Reggae Gems. Music left behind in the dust of time but not forgotten. 

Part of the fun in discovering these artists becomes, who were they and where’d they go?  For many, these questions go unanswered which makes for an intriguing listen - the mystery of the many who came, recorded and vanished.

For Part One, we looked at the evolution and growth, along with some of the key female figures in reggae and for Part Two, I wanted to begin with the next generation of singers and origins of dancehall, slackness, empowerment and shine the spotlight on several singers that helped breakthrough new barriers in the 80s and 90s (J.C. Lodge, Lady Saw) to help the younger artists that have been breaking through around the world of the past decade starting with Hollie Cook, Jah 9,  Koffee, Nubiya, Shenseea and more.

In this episode of the Bassment Sessions I’m going to focus on Women In Reggae 1964-1982 - from Millie Small’s breakout hit up to Rita Marley‘s 1982 hit One Draw.

It’s an impossible task to showcase the true scope and depth fully required to highlight six decades of women in reggae but I hope to help you discover some of the vital women who helped pave the way for the wonderful new artists continuing and evolving the genre and pushing the music ever forward.

This episode includes music from Millie Smalls, Sister Nancy, Nora Rean, Marcia Griffiths, Judy Mowatt, Janey Kay, and more.
