    Thanks for making these. You're the only reggae blogger I know that does anything on a quality level.

    I post um tunes and dubplates from time to time myself, but I'm sure you have a lot of them yourself and then some.

    Any thoughts on Jah Cure? The great hope of roots or a pretender?

    Thanks for the kind words! Fyah I, I only know Jah Cure by name so I really don't have an opinion. I know there are a lot of cultural artists out right now that I have yet to give a serious listen... I should be ashamed of myself! :-)

    Jah Cure is one of the newer conscious singers. He was just released from prison after serving nine years for a rape he said he didn't commit. I with you on the classic 70s and earlier. I have no use for electronic beats.
    Thanks for all you do.

    The person who assumed you were a guy is me, Fyah I. You got a deep and rich collection it seems but if you are ever looking for something I'd be glad to help out.

    Killer selections. The first two tracks have always been my mixdown favorite. The Bingy Bunny Me & Jane LP alongside the Nicodemus Gunman Connection LP...or the 12" discomix singles.

    I can tell by the selection..you must have had fun mixing these killer tracks together.

    You should put a PayPal Donate Gif on this blog as you shouldthis hard work...
    This mixdown sounds like a one week 'no sleeper'.

    nuff respect.
    exellent selection as always.

    Just curious?...
    How many times did you rework the selection to fit the vibe you were feeling?...Or did you just have a selection previously planned out...maybe stacks that didnt make it to the first mixdown?

    Thanks for asking Willy... both the rub-a-dub mixes I did were the two most time intensive projects I ever tackled here... I planned ahead of time by separating which songs I wanted to play and organized them by riddims, then I spent about a week ahead of time just listening to the music by putting everything in an organized playlist on my Ipod and after some tweeking with riddim and song order I got to work on mixing. I tend to do a lot of organizing and reorganizing before I can settle on a final playlist...
