To celebrate Jamaica’s
50 Years of Independance
1962-2012
We have put together a set of releases that cover the
musical styles that reggae mutated into through it’s
history, SKA, ROCKSTEADY, ROOTS REGGAE,
DUB, DJ STYLE & DANCEHALL....
So Listen Up! and enjoy!
Welcome to the DJ STYLE ! Sound of Jamaica. The DJ phenomenon started way
back in the Ska era in the late 1950’s with the likes of Count Machuki and Sir Lord
Comic who could be found shouting introductions to the big tunes of the day.
This would grow to almost question and answer sessions over the original vocals.
This Deejay jive talk so popular in the dancehalls and sound system gatherings
transferred to vinyl and became another chapter in the evolving sound of Reggae.
So sit back and listen keenly to some musical biscuits, to the kings of the DJ Sound.
