We are so excited to have the brand new QUITO SKA JAZZ album from Football Records / Lucha Libre in Ecuador! The 2018 “Ciudad De Ska” put this hot Latin ska-jazz troop on the international map, we were lucky to be able to restock it at the same time! Both LPs are limited to 300 copies, don’t delay!

This is not your typical dub album. NOWHERE close. Sure, MENOTTI HI FI is firmly based in Jamaican studio wizardry like the original greats – LEE PERRY, KING TUBBY, SCIENTIST, etc. That’s a given in the world of dub. But you’ll immediately hear more complexity – hard-hitting boombastic percussion and eerie keyboards, sounding like a lost BEASTIE BOYS session from “Ill Communication” or “Check Your Head” – with MONEY MARK letting loose. Discordant distorted vocals and big bass lead the charge on songs, giving an almost industrial Tackhead or Renegade Soundwave vibe. Or dare we say trip-hop like Massive Attack or Tricky? If this had been released in the 90’s, a bidding war between Wax Trax, Grand Royal, and On-U Sound would have ensued. “Yksi” seems to have few boundaries – on the heavier side they cover “Casevettes” from FUGAZI’s “In On The Killtaker”, plus sampling a BILLY BRAGG speech on “Wouldn’t You”.  Continue reading MENOTTI HI FI “Yksi” LP – incredible dub assault for fans of Beastie Boys and On-U Sound! Includes a FUGAZI cover!!!

First new single in decades by Pama and Trojan Records legend WINSTON GROOVY! Remake of The Pioneers song ‘Reggae Fever’ produced by Sidney Crooks from The Pioneers. The song ‘Reggae Fever’ was originally recorded in 1974 by the members of The Pioneers and gained a cult status over the years because of its references to the skinhead subculture.  His beautiful and distinctive soulful voice still sounds incredible to this day! Includes extensive historical liner notes, big hole DJ 45 single.  Not to be outdone is this debut double a-side single from “The Prince Of Rudeness” featuring The Upessions (aka The Judge Dread Memorial) on side A and The Rocksteady Conspiracy featuring Boss Capone at the other side!

One of today’s most beloved British ska bands finally gets their latest album on vinyl – limited edition yellow from Grover Records! THE DOWNSETTERS are top shelf modern 2-TONE, and “CHAINSAW LULLABIES” is arguably their best release to date. Capturing the feel of THE SPECIALS but without ripping the sound off – trombone and keys lead the way with good ol’ RODDY RADIATION influenced guitar riffs. THE DOWNSETTERS take a piece from today’s ska-punk pie, with modern chant heavy vocal breaks, occasional distortion and visits to ska-punk Hellcat related rhythms, along with “fake” radio intermissions.
