DJ Pork Chops - Cool It Amigo!

So recently I've managed to get some 50p bargains at car boots where the dealers obviously didn't actually look at their stock. Let's just say Otley car boot has been ransacked by yours truly. AND HERE THEY ARE! Some goodies and some naughties for the swingers and bouncers. Remember if anyone gets just a little bit too much aggro on their shirt just pull them to one side and tell them to 'cool it amigo' and get the selector to spin some rocksteady. TRACKLISTING... the ethiopians - satan girl ric...

DJ Pork Chops - It Ain't What You Do...

This is certainly a mixed bag. All the bases are covered with some new reissues that I've nabbed and presented to you in this as well as a few favourites. Recently, I've been shuffling all sorts round and stumble on some records I forgot I had and thank the Lord I found them! So here it is. Remember kids...it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it. You'll know what I mean soon enough. Tracklisting.... the hollywood soundmakers - titoli the upsetters - high plain drifter carl 'cannonball'...

A bitesize episode of reggae, ska and rocksteady to wet your appetites for more! Sweet hot bread and butter for you all. Some new re-issues and rarities in a disorganised order.

That's some organ reggae goodness if I ever heard it! the crystalites - blacula owen gray - give me little sign the visions - captain hook al senior - bonaparte retreat gg allstars - champion claudette and the corporation - ho...

DJ Pork Chops - Soul Jamaica

This is dedicated to those tunes of excellence that don't belong in the reggae or ska genres but exist outside of them in the musical wilderness alone. Some are welcomed and gain fellowship but others are forever lost in musical purgatory. I have rescued those gems that need an airing. Here we are then. A podcast for those tunes you love to hear - or at least that's the plan. Apologies again for erratic mixing. One day a proper mixer will be within my reach. TRACKLISTING... jackie mittoo - stere...

DJ Pork Chops - Ska Special (Part 2)

The final part of the ska special is here! And I've heard it's a goody. Real ska sounds out of Jamaica and just to put the podcasts into context a few 2Tone tunes are thrown in. Ska's influence is paramount. It gave Jamaican music an identity, which it still holds proudly. What I've learnt from Jamaican music is that no matter what you've got to dance to it! So, as always, strap on your dancing shoes and dance! SKA SKA SKA! baba brooks - special event derrick morgan - greatest thing the skatalit...
