All Aboard The SKA Train this incredible precursor to reggae and rocksteady. You'll hear ska legends such as The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Stranger Cole, The Skatalites, and many others! We're sure you'll love it the minute you turn it on, so turn the sound up and tune in now!  

                                                                                                                                        The clue with chill hop is right there in the name, it's no more than a fusion of chill out music and hip hop. A playlist is         worth a thousand words so the newly minted "Slow Hop" playlist* is just to the right & it's Youtube & Deezer versions at the bottom of the post but there is something I'd like you to read and listen to first. The old cliche goes you have to know the past to understand the present so, if you're interested, let's take a brief look at hip hop's early days and the origins of chill out music to fully understand how chill hop came about and got to where it is today.

WITH DJ EDDIE REDHEART MORE FIRE !!!

[...]

  Some of the finest singers, players and studio innovators of all time were gathered for a few years on that sunny island to produce a body of work that changed recorded music forever and that still informs the way popular music is produced  

I have always loved music, even before I was born. Growing up I listened to Motown,  hip hop, r&b. I also had a deep love for reggae and dancehall. In my teens I was introduced to drum & base,  I would sneak out to go to raves, spiral tribe, raindance and many many other's.  I was introduced to Djing at a house party, I was in awe of the Dj and how cool the mixes sounded, I wanted to do it, so I brought decks and dj equipment and started practicing. I played House & Garage, I moved to London in 2001 met up with Patrick London, who became my manager, I played at some great venues, Aquarium,  waterfront, a boat on Westminster thames and many other places. In 2004 I moved to slough where i continued my Djing but swapped House & Garage for reggae/dancehall, I played at the v bar, Eco bar, house parties. I took some time out to raise my children and in 2016 met up with Patrick London again, he got me a regular gig on releaseradio.com, I was part of the releaseradio family for just over three years. I have now become part of the bayvibes family thanks to General Wayne and loving it.

Island usually gets the credit for establishing Britain as ska and reggae's second home, but it was a chaotically run London indie label that created the scene in the first place. Before Island opened an office in London, Blue Beat had the keys to Prince Buster, Laurel Aitken, Derrick Morgan and Owen Gray, and brought rasta drummer Count Ossie and sound-system originator Duke Reid over from Kingston to play Lewisham and Brixton.
