Welcome to Volume 13 of our all 45s mix series, this one by Sonic Sound Hifi.

The Forty Five Kings are proud to present a dj with deep Reggae crates and a huge love of the 45 format.

Rik Sonic, is a DJ from Sydney, Australia and a lover of the 45 format, particulalry Jamaican sounds and has this to say about his mix:

"45s were always around my house as a kid - my parents had lots of them! I started collecting 2Tone records in the mid 80s, traced those sounds back to their Jamaican origins and have been hooked on the music of that little island ever since. Did much the same when i discovered Hip Hop in the early 90s - traced it back to its Funk, Soul, Jazz roots and started sourcing the original samples, which has since led to all the eclectic music i love and listen to now!"

This mix, this page and The Forty Five Kings are all about the 45 format and for us the 45 reigns supreme, there is no musical format greater!
