Deadly Dragon Sound's Reggaematic Podcast

We heard some great bands, some great selectors and met just a bunch of great people in all the cities we visited.

++ Mix Inna Bam Bam Style ++ One of the great things about owning a record store is learning about the music you love through other people's eyes. Over the past years we have found that throughout South America the Jamaican Styles and riddims that became the basis for modern day Reggaeton are wildly popular. And the more we searched out tunes the more we re-fell-in-love with some of those riddims that had fallen out of our boxes. So this mix is in Honour of the Bam Bam, The Poco, The Dem Bow and More!

++ TRIBUTE TO JOHN HOLT ++ John Holt passed this week and as his golden voice touched us so deeply we felt it necessary to drop a tribute mix to the man. The Paragons seduced us with Rock Steady - the soaring harmonies and raw emotions of Left With A Broken Heart. We swayed to a solo John Holt as he teamed up with Bunny Lee to Stick By You. He lent his polish to a few roots tune that drove me with flying cymbals. And then he teamed up with Junjo Lawes to drop Police & Helicopter and that yearning romanticism turned dark, militant, unforgiving and mirrored so perfectly the dark under-currents of the time that it almost took my breath away in its utter artistic transformation. To cover the man's career would be impossible, so I just chose a few of my favorite tracks in full acknowledgement of all the ones I will be kicking myself later for not adding. Big Ups to THUNDERLIONS ( http://www.thunderlions.com/ )for their special Deadly Dragon Tribute to John Holt Dubplate that finishes off this mix. R.I.P. Jo

YESSSSSS!!!!! In the 1980s and early 1990s MINI MART HI POWER ran New York City. Known as the entertainer's Sound System, Mini Mart tapped into the golden age of NYC reggae with their core group of performers as well as the featured artists that would perform alongside them such as Tonto Irie, Shinehead, Screechy Dan, James Bond, Jango Thriller and more. A Mini Mart dance was a guaranteed sell-off as it combined the new digital sounds of the 80s/early 90s with the excitement of the selector/DJ combination that defined the classic Rub-A-Dub dances of the late 70s / early 80s. As MINI MART Hi POWER will be making their first appearance since the mid 90s, we
