This week in Bass Candy we have a reggae special. Almost in a chronological way, Tropico Beats starts with Coxsone and Studio One 7” records before paying tribute to perhaps one of his favorite artists ever, the great Bob Marley. For those of you who don’t know, our host started his career as a vinyl Dj collecting Jamaican 45 rpm records he bought in the many record stores around NYC.
Then comes the dub, some B sides and versions, including the legendary Lee “Scratch” Perry’s ‘Dub in Peace’ and the likes of Mad Professor and Lone Ranger. After playing some contemporary reggae music, and going into the Dancehall era, Tropico closes the special with Reggae’s brother in arms, punk rock, with a live classic from Queens very own, The Ramones.
Tune into new broadcasts of Bass Candy, LIVE, 3rd Friday from 6 - 8 PM EST 11 - 1 AM GMT. (Saturday)
