Remembering bass maestro Robbie Shakespeare who was born on this day in 1953.

Robbie played on thousands of records over the decades. Here's just one. A mighty 12" that he also produced alongside Sly Dunbar...

Saddened to hear dancehall legend Lt Stitchie died earlier today.

Stitchie was one of the most skillful and entertaining DJs of the 1980s. His records for King Jammy and Stereo One were some of the best from that era...

RIP 🙏

Here's Tristan Palmer on a heavyweight Greensleeves 12" calling for peace in the dance. It reached the Top 10 of the UK reggae chart in Sept '83.

It features Lloyd Parks playing the deep bassline (an update of Hip Hug rhythm)...

It would remain at the top of the chart for 4 weeks...

Very saddened to hear that Max Romeo died yesterday aged 80 years old.

Happy 69th birthday to Brigadier Jerry.

Briggy promoted roots and culture lyrics in his influential DJ'ing on sound systems in the late 70s / 80s.

This carried over onto his record releases as well, like on this great 7"...

Very shocked to hear that Sly Dunbar died earlier today.

Sly was at the forefront of reggae music's development and innovation for decades. His extraordinary drumming on this dub is a personal favourite.

Note from my book, Rude Girls: Women in 2 Tone and One Step Beyond (skabook.com): Blondie’s Chris Stein tried to involve the Specials in recording The Tide Is High: “I asked the Specials to back Debbie up … and they didn’t wanna do it! … Lynval wanted to do it!”

I'm picking out a dozen deep dubs from the 1970s today in a 'House of Reggae plays the dub masters at Bluesky station'.

Starting off with the don of all dub versions. This was so good, Island made it the A side...
