    Request for a separate mixes forum

    Heatwave studio mix

    being greedy with a second thread but felt like this deserved one of its own. check the mix here http://www.scandalbag.com/heatwavemix2005.html did it in the studio on 2 decks back in august. heavy on the reggaeton early on and then settles down into the dancehall vibes. check our other...

    OMM so very very wrong about Sean Paul

    f**kery this one did make me choke on my cereal on sunday morning. the "hardcore ragga" line was particularly annoying...as dave points out this division between the two is a total fallacy. i interviewed sean p last week and it was great to hear him talk about giving the shine to jamaica by...

    Sizzla

    Sizzla

    "They'll just switch to CD singles " and then everyone will download / copy the music for free also, it's only the big boys who promo their stuff on cd single and sell 7s. smaller labels, remixers and so on will get cut out of the picture...i've already experienced this at first hand. but...

    Sizzla

    yeah they're all riddims. pharao is a german production. only egyptian and kasablanca are on greensleeves...kasablanca might = best rhythm album cover ever, though there's a lot of strong contenders. you'll need to go somewhere like soundquake to find them as most uk reggae shops (if that's...

    Sizzla

    sizzla's best album by far - da real thing. consistently great, loads of dancehall hits including 'just one of those days' and 'solid as a rock'. essential. the more recent, don corleon produced rise to the occasion and (out in the next couple of weeks) soul deep lps are also excellent but are...

    Has ketamine ever directly influenced musical styles?

    ketamine music = hardcore techno / gabba / jungle or at least this was the case 5 or more years ago when the london squat party scene was full of blank eyed zombies with white snot dribbling from their nostrils. music that will penetrate the general sense of detachment / displacement that k...
