Nothing Can Touch The 45 - a 2008/2009 45s mix



It's often said, the 45 is dead for modern reggae, well, NOT QUITE YET! Here is another episode of BMC's Reggae Mixes with strictly modern tunes (2008 & 2009), still all taken from 45s! Been a while since the latest modern mix I did, so it was about time. Various riddims, various artists (old and new), various producers, JA and EU. All tracks are given with info on label and riddim, so if you rate what you hear, go get them yourself. Keeping the 45 alive, as Ray Darwin states in the opening track! For more info and to listen the mix see the description and link at bmc.podomatic.com .

Next episode, continuing this mix (so more modern 45s) coming soon!

Thanks BMC, lovely stuff as usual.

I've been desperately trying to get my hands on a copy of the Ray Darwin 7" but I fear I may have missed the boat....

[BMC]

Thanks sayso!

I got the Ray Darwin 7" from African Beat store in Germany, www.africanbeat.de , they still have it in stock, but shipping can be expensive to some countries (for me it's my preferred shop with shipping to the Netherlands only €5,- independent of the size of the order). Very good shop though, very friendly, never had a problem in years of ordering there.

[sayso]

Yes, Soundquake also has copies but postage to the UK is 3 times the cost of the vinyl!

[BMC]

Pff, that's crazy sayso.

Maybe wait 'til there's more you'd like and do a bigger order? Probably means saving on shipping.

Shipping is also the reason I rarely order from Ernie B. Expensive and often get some import-duties to pay afterwards added to it. No fun.

Live Good And Prosper - another 45s mix by BMC (2008/9)



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.

Thanks, sayso! Yeah, that Youthsamba riddim was a pleasant surprise. From Brasil if I recall correct (don't have the 45s at hand). Nice and dubby. Cool tunes.

Been a slow start for BMC's Reggae Mixes in 2010, but it's all about priorities and had more important things to do the last couple of months. 2009 long gone, but still had some tunes to mix down BMC-style from last year before we head into 2010 productions. Last mix was UK / EU style and quite heavy, this one is JA style and quite soft and sweet. Called Slowing It Down because of that and has that slower summer vibe, nice and smooth. If you're looking for heavy roots, look further, if you're looking for nice easy going vibes, check this one. Lovely vibes here with amongst others three riddims from the No Doubt camp. Enjoy!
