Fight The Fire: Digital Reggae, Conscious Roots & Dub In Nigeria 1986-1991
2026 UK 2xLP Compilation

An incredible collection!
This focuses on Nigerian reggae and dub recordings from the late analog-to-digital transition era of 1986–1991.

These GREAT songs are loaded with primitive drum machines, synths, deep heavy bass and spring reverb, rather than the old school live band recordings of 70s roots reggae.

It is a wonderful compilation for fans of all kinds of dub and reggae like me; it’s very militant, smoky, and very underground late #80s .

I particularly love Orits Williki’s title track, and Mac Dessy Adult’s “Labrock Dub”.

Just fucking fantastic.

Roots and Dub Grooves: Double Tiger Drops Horn-Heavy New Single “Love Garden” On November 21st

DOUBLE TIGER returns with a brand new single, “Love Garden,” out November 21st via Easy Star Records, following his collaboration with Sly & Robbie. Once again teaming with Lee Hamilton, Spaker delivers a horn-heavy meditation on simplicity, community, and compassion. Mixed by Craig Welsch, the track leans into luminous brass, warm bass, and Spaker’s distinctive blend of melodic roots and dub-influenced vocal stylings, proving that even a reggae/dub project can offer warm counterculture themes.

KEN BOOTHE / CHARMERS BIG BAND
Everything I Own b/w My Own Version
1974 Jamaica 7” pressing

A quick, bite-size helping of #reggae for last spin of the night.

Saw this today along with the Johnny Cash SUN single, and couldn’t help but add it to the reggae wing of my library.

Really sweet split of “Mr. Boothe” (as his name has appeared on some of his releases); one of Jamaica’s most renowned singers of the #60s and #70s .

I have a few singles of his now, but unfortunately, his full length studio albums elude me. They’re very hard to come by, and tend to be a bit pricey.
As far as my reggae wing is concerned, finding ANY of them would be a grail acquisition for me.

How I love those old 3-part #reggae vocal groups: the Wailers, the Maytals, the Meditations . . . but especially the #Heptones. And their Danny Holloway-produced Night Food LP has always been my go-to album. Is that #BarryLlewellyn or #EarlMorgan singing those high #falsetto harmonies here? Man they hit me deep.

Eek-A-Mouse / Eek-Ology (2013/19); "Eek-Ology" ist eine umfassende Compilation, die einen tiefen Einblick in das vielseitige Schaffen von Eek-A-Mouse bietet – einem der exzentrischsten und originellsten Artists des Dancehall und Reggae. Die Sammlung vereint Klassiker und Raritäten und zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie einzigartig Eek-A-Mouse mit seinem skurrilen Singjay-Stil und markanten Lautmalereien die Szene bereicherte. #Dancehall #EekAMouse #Jamaica #Reggae #RootsReggae #RiptonJosephHylton

From reggae royalty! 👑 Blaze Mob (brothers Shaka, Gyasi, and Saeed Dennis, sons of Garth Dennis!) are set to release their single "Moving Over Barriers" today Friday, March 7th! 🇯🇲 #Jamaica #RootsReggae #UpliftingMusic #BlazeMob #ReggaeFamily #March7th @thisisblazemob

My favourite record from the Jamaican archives these days is BABYLON FALL by Junior Ross & The Spears. The album from 2018 brings together recordings that Tapper Zukie produced from the mid to late 70s. The line-up of the band is awesome! It includes Sly & Robbie, Augustus Pablo and Vin Gordon on instruments and Prince Alla on backing vocals.

In short, get your arse to your trusted record dealer and pick up the disc!
