REGGAE DANCEHALL SMASH Turn on Breakfast radio in the UK and you’re subjected to Robbie Hurry-Up-And-Die-On-The-Toilet Williams or the latest smudge from the talent show cunt-cannons. In Barbados you tune in the radio before sunrise and get classic Reggae dancehall. No wonder everyone is so happy. Spice – Rude Boy Love (feat. Pinchers) [Audio clip: [...]

DANCEHALL CLASSIC- Out of all musical genres Reggae Dancehall artists take the biscuit when it comes to fucking stupid stage monikers: Beenie Man, General Degree, Vybz Cartel, Super Cat…Flourgon?….Ninjaman?…… They may have daft names but every single one of them can: A: Have you shot B: Have you shot again (for being gay) C: Tear [...]

SUNDAY DUBZ – Jah Bless? Jobless. The long standing Tummy Touch label are rolling out an album of back catalogue dubs for your bunnin’ enjoyment.

That Ethiopian chap in the background there, that’s none other [...]

A very brief appearance by the sun got London all excited for all about 15 minutes this weekend. There were daffodils, a bit of blue sky and it actually stopped raining for a bit. Spring had sproinged. Now it’s back to the earth shattering reality of the damp monday grind. Fret not- to bring a [...]
