bmc — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 15:37:09 GMT

It often takes some time for a next episode to appear at BMC's Reggae Mixes, but sometimes there's suddenly some extra time to do some mixing and resulting in this quick follow-up to my latest modern styled effort. Not much to add this time, same recipe (all 45s, no full tunes, info given to get 'm yourself), same style, same niceness. Extra bonus track added this time, which doesn't really fit in the style of these mixes, but I do rate the tune so added it as a bonus after the normal business is over. Completely different style, but big tune still! Just wanted to include it at some point. :-) Comments more than welcome, they're what counts, not number of downloads!

Riddim superbly played by Bost & Bim, also reponsible for numerous wicked remixes of, amongst others, old soul and hiphop tunes. Check 'm out! Plenty of other riddim and tracks of well-known and lesser known artists. The mix ends with the more dancehall oriented, wicked Baddaz riddim on Birchill, but all starts with a great tribute to the 45 by Ray Darwin! Keeping the 45 alive! All tracks taken from 45s, no full tunes here, shorter pieces mixed together to one continuous mix (appr. 45 minutes) with added sound samples.

Turbulence & Friends - BMC's Turbulence Showcase

bmc — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 22:03:51 GMT

I never made it a secret that Turbulence, born Sheldon Campbell, is one of my favourite artists of the 2000s. Especially the period 2003 - 2006 has been particularly strong for him imo with plenty of wicked singles. His flow is the main thing I highly rate in combination with his ability to both sing and deejay in a strong way; a true 'singjay'. I'm not really a lyrics-man myself, but also in that area he has some very good efforts, especially when he touches subjects against violence, reality style. In my opinion his albums don't really show his skills too well with too many fillers, but each album does have its very strong moments. It's mainly his single-output I've been focussing on though. Turbulence started in the 90s with Xterminator record, opening at Sizzla shows for quite some time, what caused people to see him as a Sizzla copy in those days. Luckily he went his own way soon enough and got good success on his own, making the comparison with Kalonji, deservedly, becoming less and less common. Had a number of hits in JA, of which Notorious probably the biggest together with his combinations with female singer Sasha. He is best at home on roots riddims imo, with his dancehall efforts he doesn't reach that same level. The last two years his overall output decreased both in quality and quantity, but with still a couple of strong tracks each year I still rate the man's music highly. This all was enough reason for me to make a new mix with his music as the theme, in combination with some additional tracks of other artists on the same riddims, to show all listerners to my mixes what I rate about him. Hopefully you'll feel the tunes too. The majority of the tracks are a few years old and it isn't necessarily a 'best of', due to time I had to leave out plenty of other wicked tunes (I could make a next hour without any problem, maybe even will do so some day). It will show the diversity and overall strong delivery of the artist Turbulence - The Future. Let's hope he gets back to the form of those years soon! Leave a comment when you've enjoyed this latest episode of BMC's Reggae Mixes, already 2,5 years online, 33 mixes further and still going strong! Thanks for your support.

Unity Is The Key - a 2007/2008 modern roots 45s mix

bmc — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 11:42:58 GMT

Two months since my last mix, over 3 months since my last modern roots mix: just can't find the time to start recording and mixing these days. This'll probably get worse, since I've got very busy months ahead of me, so to make up for the long wait since the last one and the, likely, long wait before the next one here a longer than usual new modern roots 45s mix, clocking in at one full hour. Tracks are mainly 2008 releases, with a couple of 2007 tracks that I didn't use in a mix yet, but still wanted to include in one. Both Jamaican and European productions, ranging from sweet soft riddim like the Secrets to harder bassy riddims like the Conqueror. All officially released and taken from the 45s (no downloaded mp3s), so obviously not the latest hype-selection, but music that imo deserves to be heard. 2008 has been somewhat dissappointing when it comes to good roots riddims, but after some time there's always enough to get a nice mix together. Just for the record, business as usual: no full tunes, shorter pieces mixed together with added soundsamples and average soundquality. For full tunes, in good quality without samples, go get 'm, all are officially released. Don't ask me for the full tunes, I will not upload 'm. Enjoy and drop me a comment if you've enjoyed this latest episode of BMC's Reggae Mixes.

bmc — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:47:50 GMT

New mix, mainly inna rub-a-dub stylee, early to mid 80s vibes, all from their vinyl sources! This time I picked some of my 12" singles to create a new mix with vocals combined with deejay and / or dub versions. As usual the tracks are custom-mixed and also if the 12" is already an extended tune, I've shortened it to a few minutes, as usual: no full tunes at BMC's Reggae Mixes. Labels of records are given with the side of the 12" I took the tune of. Not many of these (if any) are currently commercially available, so it's record fairs, ebay and more of such places to look for these. Personally I love every one of these records, hopefully you too. Enjoy!

Large up! Bless, BMC

Give Thanks For Life - 2007 / 2008 modern roots mix

bmc — Sun, 18 May 2008 09:25:10 GMT

New mix up of modern tunes. We're in may of 2008 already and I didn't make a mix containing JA tunes released this year yet, so it was time to change that. Here it is, 30 tracks, some from this year, some from last year, all from 7" except the Mary Jane riddim, which is taken from 10" singles. Usual things apply; no full tunes, shorter pieces mixed together at lower bitrate with added soundsamples. If you rate the tunes I'd encourage you to go out and get the tunes yourself to hear 'm in full, good quality and sample-free. A promotional thing this! We have a nice mix of JA and European releases here with a variety of names, both veterans and newer vocalists. Two wicked Doniki's, a very underrated singer imo, old-school digital style riddims from Scotch Bonnet and Charlie's labels, Massive B's massive Kingdom riddim, big hits on the Rub A Dub riddim, wicked roots riddim called Dem A Run Away etc etc. Lots of niceness, roots stylee. Enjoy! Comments will be appreciated. Donations too ofcourse. ;-) Give Thanks For Life - 2007 / 2008 modern roots mix 1) Million Stylez - Oh Jah Jah (Rootdown - I Love) 2) Jah Mason - Yours Forever (Rootdown - I Love) 3) Ras McBean - Dem A Run Away (Unik - Dem A Run Away) 4) Lutan Fyah - Give Thanks For Life (Unik - Dem A Run Away) 5) Mafia & Fluxy - Version (Unik - Dem A Run Away) 6) Doniki - Life Of The People (Gully Bank) 7) Doniki - Don't Destroy The Earth (Vineyard - Earth) 8) Junior Slice - No Patience (Vineyard - Earth) 9) Version (Vineyard - Earth) 10) Kenny Knots - Rock Inna Dancehall (Scotch Bonnet - Mary Jane [10"]) 11) Top Cat - Herbalist (Scotch Bonnet - Mary Jane [10"]) 12) Carl Meeks - Higher Level (Scotch Bonnet - Mary Jane [10"]) 13) Chezidek - I Won't Change (Charlie's - Back To Mount Zion) 14) McPullish - Dub Change I (Charlie's - Back To Mount Zion) 15) Lutan Fyah & Anthony John - Roots Woman (Rial Agony) 16) Capleton - Clean Meditation (Shore Jam - Ruff Life) 17) Anthony Cruz - Mi See It Clear (Shore Jam - Ruff Life) 18) Jah Mason - Thanks & Praise (Shore Jam - Ruff Life) 19) Chezidek - Call Pon Dem (Massive B - Kingdom) 20) Collie Buddz - Let Me Know (Massive B - Kingdom) 21) Burro Banton - Garrison (Massive B - Kingdom) 22) Queen Ifrica - Choppa Grade (Nicetime - No Combo) 23) Sweet T - Lethal Weapon (Nicetime - No Combo) 24) Chaka Demus & Pliers - When King Tubby's Used To Play (Pull Up My Selecta - Duke Street) 25) Tony Curtis - Mr. Law (Pull Up My Selecta - Duke Street) 26) Lukie D - How Long (Pull Up My Selecta - Duke Street) 27) Morgan Heritage - Nothing To Smile About (No Doubt - Rub A Dub) 28) Richie Spice - Di Plane Land (No Doubt - Rub A Dub) 29) Etana - I Am Not Afraid (No Doubt - Rub A Dub) 30) Ginjah - Never Lost My Way (No Doubt - Rub A Dub) Large up once again for all the support, especially the group that keeps returning to my mixes, taking the time to leave comments or send an email of appreciation instead of just grabbing it and making it so nice to do. I don't care about the number of download, I do care about the nice comments of the people that enjoy the music with me. Special shout-out this time to the Reggae Sundance Guestbook and its contributors for the support and interesting conversations. Bless, BMC

Hard One Fe Dem - a modern UK roots style mix

bmc — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:13:35 GMT

BMC alongside SPRINGLINE JAMAICA To celebrate the one year anniversary of Springline Jamaica online radio (not operational anymore these days), a large celebration was held on friday april 25th 2008 with a marathon-broadcast at their radiostation with contributions from a whole heap of people, among which a mix of myself. Here is said mix up for listen for one and all, including the Springline jingles alongside my own. Mix is focused on modern reggae with a UK roots sound. Not all from the UK, but I just use that description to give a general idea of what to expect. Contains contributions from big names from the scene like Jah Warrior, Russ D (Disciples), Twilight Circus, Dougie Conscious, Barry Issac, Manila Jeepney crew, King Shiloh + Dub Creator and more. Producers and engineers that still make wicked dubs for the flipsides of the records and make sure the bass is in full affect in their productions. Those I've been in contact with are very nice people too who deserve all support. The sounds in the mix, as usual, are shorter pieces of the tunes mixed together to a 45 minutes showcase of modern roots and dub. Most, if not all, of the music in this mix is still available for sale, so if you like what you hear and want to hear the full tunes in good quality, I'd say go get 'm! A good source for finding (amongst others) UK styled music is http://www.reggaemusicstore.com , from the man Jah Warrior himself. Enjoy! Tracks in order of appearance: (all versions present are custom-mixed together with the vocals to give nicely extended tunes): 1) Lyrical Benjie - Ten Plagues (King Shiloh 12") 2) Shiloh Dub Blessing (King Shiloh 12") 3) Michael Rose - Warrior (M-Records - Warrior CD) 4) Barry Issac - Teachings Of His Majesty (Reggae On Top - 10") 5) Twinkle Brothers - I Will Always Praise Jah (Reggae On Top - 10") 6) Praise Jah Dub (Reggae On Top - 10") 7) Tony Roots - WW3 (Manila Jeepney - Vision Tomorrow CD) 8) Simon Dan - Jah Rule (Psalms 25) (Nucleus Roots Music - 10") 9) Lutan Fyah - Never Surrender My Faith (Jah Warrior - 7") 10) Jah Mason - Rainbow Circle Throne (Jah Warrior - 7") 11) Rainbow Circle Dub (Jah Warrior - 7") 12) Sandeeno - Can't Keep I & I Down (Sip A Cup - 10") 13) Livi Jah - Warrior Music (Gussie P - Roots Supplement: Nature At Its Best Pt. 1 CD) 14) Kenny Knots & Bush Chemists - Going Home (Conscious Sounds - 10") 15) Going Home Dub (Conscious Sounds - 10") 16) Ras Imru Asha - Marshall (Entebbe - 10") 17) Version (Entebbe - 10") 18) Chrisinti - Sunburnt Faces (Manila Jeepney - Reggae For Humanity Vol. 1 CD) 19) Tony Roots - Guide Us (Manila Jeepney - Reggae For Humanity Vol. 1 CD) 20) Dona V - Down Deh (Manila Jeepney - Reggae For Humanity Vol. 1 CD) 21) Richie Davis - Grab A Hold On Jah (Mafia & Fluxy - 10") 22) Mikey General - Tell It Like It Is (extended) (M-Records - Cultural Roots Showcase CD) 23) Sister Rasheda - Hard One Fe Dem (Universal Roots - 10") 24) Fustep - Mr. Greedy (Conscious Sounds - 7") 25) Michael Rose - No Burial (M-Records - African Roots CD) 26) Dub Burial (M-Records - African Dub CD) Enjoy, please leave a comment as a support for the work going into making these mixes for one and all to hear and hopefully to get people to buy tunes they didn't know before!

Ruff & Tuff - a late 80s 45s mix inna digital stylee

bmc — Tue, 01 May 2007 21:04:34 GMT

With the introduction of the famous Sleng Teng riddim by Jammy$ in the mid 80s a new trend was set for digital reggae. The later 80s dancehall scene was ruled by digital riddims and gave way to numerous classics and sometimes nowadays higly sought after tunes. As one of the many interesting era's in Jamaican music I wanted to make a nice mix of it and here it is. I've recorded a bunch of my 45s from the period (i.e. late 80s) and mixed them together. Not the full tunes, parts of it that give a great idea of the tune itself. This mix has both classics and rather unknown tunes with a wicked Belly Man series, some nice Courtney Melody's, Pinchers', Robert French, a young Beenie Man, White Mice and much more. I've included some pics of the labels in the picture that comes with this episode. Enjoy! Ruff & Tuff - a late 80s 45s mix inna digital stylee 1) Firehouse Crew - Mi No In A It Version (Taurus) feat. Fuzzy Jones intro 2) Pad Anthony - Mi No In A It (Taurus) 3) Pincher - Kingston 13 (Ossie) 4) Courtney Melody - Screechie Across The Border (Stereo One) 5) Lieutenant Stitchie - Story Time (Stereo One) 6) Lee Crystal - Give My Loving A Try (Romantic) 7) Sluggy - 95% Black In Jail (Music Master) 8) Little Kirk - Suffer Not The Little Ones (Shocking Vibes) 9) Horace Fergeson - Sensi Addick (Prince Jazzbo Music) 10) Prince Jazzbo - Brain Food (Ujama) 11) U-Roy - Musical Addict (Ujama) 12) Admiral Bailey - Big Belly Man (Jammy$) 13) Charlie Chaplin - Long Belly Man (Juney Star) 14) Tonto Metro - Flat Belly Man (Redman International) 15) Beeny Man - A Nuh Things Run We (Shocking Vibes) 16) Pinchers - Return Of The Don (Supreme) 17) Dennis Mangaroo - Turn It On (Mystic) 18) Bobby Digital & Cocoa Tea - Come Home (Jammy$) 19) White Mice - Youths Of Today (Incredible Music) 20) Robert French - Ruff & Tuff (France) 21) Courtney Melody - Modern Girl (France) 22) Version (France) 23) Badoo - Light Of Jahovah (Photographer) If you've enjoyed the music, please let me know by leaving a comment. The postive feedback from the listeners means more to me than a big number of 'm. Just knowing you rate the effort is worth a lot. Thanks in advance! :-) More of this in the future, so keep checking back! :-) See you next time! ;-)
