6/27/2012 Echo Chamber

A steamy summer night...in a haze of ganja smoke...with tons of new tunes. Opened the show with the very cool Prince Fatty presents Hollie Cook In Dub album from Mr. Bongo Records. I love everything about this album - Prince Fatty's new school/old school productions, and the exhilarating sound of Miss Cook - only it's too short!  Another highlighted new release tonight was the "Guidency" single (featuring Omar Perry)  on the "Don't Let Them" riddim from the Mungo's Hi-Fi (Scotch Bonnet Records). Also making its debut was the Delayrium album from Jah Acid Dub, as did the "Ya Sta Qi" EP from Superpendejos (on Urban World). And then there was the ganja smoke...from this week's summer mix: an excerpt from Tom Chasteen's Magic Marijuana Megamix. Selector Tom Chasteen presents an all ganja tune, all vinyl mix in honor of 4:20 (2011).  Also new in the mix: a brand new single from Jimmy Cliff, from his upcoming "Rebirth" release; a new unreleased track from Zion Dirty Sound; Eljai's hot "Frenemy" single; a new version of the Mutant Frogs "Vibe Steady" track; and a new dubplate from Alpha Steppa.  Filling things out with Adrian Sherwood, Pale Rider, Dennis "Blackbeard" Bovell, Natty Nation, 60 Channels, Curumin, Richie Phoe, Scientist vs. Pinch & Emika, and more...
