Winston Riley: The Architect of Jamaican Rhythm
Wednesday Oct 22, 2025
Wednesday Oct 22, 2025
Few figures in Jamaican music have shaped as many eras, artists, and sounds as Winston Riley. From the early days of ska and rocksteady to the explosion of reggae and dancehall, Riley’s fingerprints are everywhere as a singer, producer, label owner, and visionary. His legacy is one of constant reinvention, bridging generations through rhythm and melody.
Operating out of Kingston, Riley began producing some of the finest singers of the era, including Johnny Osbourne, Alton Ellis, Hortense Ellis, and The Viceroys. His studio and record shop on Orange Street — the famous “Beat Street” of Kingston — became a hub of musical activity, nurturing young talent and pushing the sound of Jamaica forward.

The Evolution Of 80s Dub
Sunday Oct 12, 2025
Sunday Oct 12, 2025
This mix captures the moment when dub music stepped out of the smoky analog haze of the 1970s and into the sharper, more expansive sound of the 1980s. The heart of roots reggae still beats through every rhythm, but the tools had changed — studios were now running 16- and 24-track machines, early digital delays, and lush rack reverbs that gave engineers new dimensions to explore.
From Scientist – Morning Glory to Aswad – Dub Fire, the mix moves through the transition from Kingston’s deep, hand-mixed roots to London’s emerging studio culture, where producers like Dennis Bovell – Dubbers Dub, Singers and Players – Kunta Kinte, and Dub Syndicate – Pounding System reshaped the sound for a new generation.
You’ll hear the dub evolution unfold - the heavy analog basslines of Black Uhuru – Puffed Out and Sly & Robbie – The Dub Of Gold meet the experimental layers of New Age Steppers – Aggro Dub Version and African Head Charge – Breeding Space, where ambient textures and early digital effects redefine what “space” in music could mean.
By the time UB40 – One In Ten – Dub Version and Linton Kwesi Johnson – Victorious – Dub appear, dub had become global — a bridge between Jamaica’s roots and the UK’s post-punk, electronic, and experimental scenes. It’s a sound both grounded and futuristic: deep bass, heavy atmosphere, and echoes that seem to reach beyond time itself.

Keith Hudson: The Dark Prince of Reggae
Wednesday Oct 08, 2025
Wednesday Oct 08, 2025
Keith Hudson, often referred to as the “Dark Prince of Reggae,” was a groundbreaking Jamaican producer, singer, and songwriter whose work significantly influenced the sound of dub and roots reggae in the 1970s. Born in Kingston in 1946, he grew up around future legends like Bob Marley and Delroy Wilson. After working as a dental technician, he invested his earnings in recording sessions. He launched his career by producing hits such as Ken Boothe’s “Old Fashioned Way” and quickly established himself as an independent producer with his own labels, including Imbidimts and Mafia. Unlike many of his contemporaries who focused on singles, Hudson approached reggae with a visionary album-first mindset, weaving together songs and versions to create concept-driven works that played like narratives from start to finish.
