Another BMC Modern Roots mix

[BMC]

Road Block - BMC's 2006 mix - part 4



The year is long gone, but the music certainly is not. There were lots of tunes from last year left that didn't make their way into one of my mixes yet, but certainly deserve to be in one and since I didn't get to recording some 2007 released 45s to the PC yet, here's another belated but sweet 2006 modern roots mix.
In this mix you'll find big tunes on a variety of roots-riddim styles with lyrical topics from herb to rastafari to lovers to poverty to anti-gun to ghetto life. You'll find contributions from singers, singjays and deejays and all mixed together, so no full tunes. Some of these are probably still commercially available, so as usual I say: if you like what you hear, go get 'm! :-)

Enjoy that great voice of Da'Ville, that wicked vocal delivery of Turbulence, that original tune by the unknown Suzanne Couch, the big hit by Collie Budz...... or better, just enjoy quality modern 2006 roots!

I've started recording some more recent 45s too, so watch this space for a 2006 - 2007 transition mix. Soon come!


Parts 1, 2 and 3 plus similar mixes focussing on the more bashy type riddims of 2006 are still available too from www.bmc.podomatic.com .

[rosko]

Excellent news. Will get the week off to a good start.

[bobbybabylon]

BMC looks like a great show! I def haven't heard much of this but yeah I'm listening now.

[trinitymlk]

Nice mix BMC..

20) Suzanne Couch - Smile (Lionvibes) > This was the track that made me come back to check your track list. That Hammond organ lick reminds of one of the John Peel Session tapes someone posted..maybe Black Slate?

Respect, MK

[BMC]

Thanks for checking the mix out and for the nice comments, gentlemen. Much appreciated as always!

Yeah MK, that Suzanne Couch tune is an interesting one: lovely tune, but who is she? Where does she come from? Is there more from her out there? Never saw her name elsewhere, but on that 45 (comes in a nice picture sleeve as can be seen from the photo above).

[Mrs Trellis]

Marc, you really should listen to my shows!!

On pt. 6 I played Smile and said the following....

Suzanne was born in Kingston and during the 1980's was a member of the band Native. More recently she has been recording material under her own name and has released 2 LP's, Lifeline in 2001 and In The Rhythm in 2005. And the 7" I have lined up now was released on the Lion Vibes label which is run by Matt Downs in Newquay on the South Coast of England, and aswell as running his own on-line record shop at Lionvibes.co.uk he also makes frequent visits to Jamaica to record new songs for release on his label.

I got the info from.. www.answers.com/topic/suzanne-couch

Cheers,
Ian

oh yes, great mix by the way!

Yes sir, I'm onto it as I write this. Hip Hug just started. ;D

Thanks for the info. Will look for samples on those albums, curious what they'll sound like (I don't expect much reggae though).

[james]

Wicked session BMC - really enjoyed it. That Collie Budz track is wicked . Nice shabba cut as well. Also really enjoyed the Suzanne Couch cut. A lot of killers to look out for - thanks!

[BMC]

Sometimes it takes a long time, sometimes it's here before you know it. New show up!



New 45s-mix up for listen / download. First few 2007 releases mixed togther with a nice bunch of 2006 that were still waiting to be included in a mix. No full tunes, a lively mix of shorter pieces as usual. All on roots style riddims with both Jamaican and European productions. As did 2006, also 2007 already gave way to some very nice roots releases and some tunes / riddims of each year combined can only result in over 35 minutes of lovely modern roots reggae.

Let me know when you've enjoyed the mix; always nice to hear!

Check it out!

In contrast to some of the complains about podcasting lately, I must say I'm enjoying it more than ever. Allthough comments are lacking (and I love comments, cause it's the actual listeners telling they liked it, which means more to me than a high number of downloads, but that aside), I've been having quite an increase in downloads lately and since I turned pro the other day, I'm checking the statistics a bit more often for the fun of it (I don't really care how accurate they are, the idea is nice already ) and I've had downloads in Kingston, Jamaica last week which is cool and also quite a bunch on the African continent (South Africa, Botswana and many in Zimbabwe). Also some from the middle of the Indian ocean which I have't quite understood yet, but that aside. Funny to look up at least.

As said, some more positive comments would be nice, but the wide spread of the mixes over the globe is a pretty cool thought too in my opinion! ;D
