Nice up di Dance!

Wicked Reggae mix from Adam Prescott (For The Win Records).......one of the best Reggae selections I've heard in ages, and definitely one of my favourites mixes of '09 so far.......do not sleep on this beauty!!


Ey Up everyone! This originally started as a little project from my mate Nick who wanted some good reggae so I started compiling some of my favourite tunes which hopefully covers all bases of the sound. We’ve got some dub, some roots, some rasta, some lover’s rock, some political tunes, some Dj tunes, some early dancehall, some one drop and some upfront militant dubwise riddims! Some tunes you might know, some you won’t but defiantly worth the download! - Adam Prescott

Grabbed this a good while back on the DubstepForum....last year I'd say, but have really only listened to it properly lately, and it's fucking wicked, to be honest.
Seeing as we're supposed to have more good weather next week, I thought maybe a few people might want to download something suitable for the lazy, hazy days of boozing n' barbecuing that hopefully lay in wait........and even if it pisses rain this selection couldn't fail to bring a smile to your face, so, either way, everyone's a winner really ; )

This is my favourite track from the mix, a gorgeous tune by one of the masters of Dub, the late, great, Joe Gibbs...............

Wha' g'wan? Irish Roots n' ting...........

Intinn, from Galway, have been steadily making a name for themselves on the Reggae scene in Ireland for the last few years, and last Sunday I had the pleasure of seeing these lads for the first time, and they totally rocked The Big Chillum @ Dolans, Limerick. Bought the album while I was there and it's quality........essential for those into their Roots and Dub, and there's a touch of Drum n' Bass on there aswell. Have to give major props to their frontman, Cian, who, after their set, joined the selectors upstairs for some impromptu toasting over the tunes............his chatting over Barrington Levy's 'Murderer' got probably the best reaction of the day (photos of that action coming soon). Anyway, check the vids below n' grab the album ASAP.

Best to start small n' simple, so here's Crank's Video of the Day.......check it;

[NB - The emphasis will be on the song rather than that actual 'video']



If it's good enough for David Rodigan, then it's good enough for The Crank
