A DJ Explosion For A Monday

I was sitting around this morning and decided to throw together a bunch of rub-a-dub records in an impromptu DJ explosion for a Monday.

No rhyme or reason, just a bunch of early 80's deejays doin' the thing they do best! These baby runs nearly an hour long and its a veritable who's who of early dancehall. I hope you enjoy it!

    I visit only once in a while but it's always a nice suprise to see what you've been up to!

    For your blog is positively one of the most original reggae blogs I've ever seen.

    The whole concept of the mixes instead of the xth upload of the same albums is very, very original and creative.

    But besides the concept itself which pleases me, most mixes (I haven't heared them all) are highly entertaining, made from a firm knowledge of the music and I can easily imagine what a joy it must be to make them.

    Keep up the good works (and enjoying yourself!) and thanks for the effort made in trying to promote the music we - obviously both - love so much.

    Chapeau!

    Blessings & Greetings
