Ska Collection

Here's a selection of some classic ska tunes. As well as a lot of the early ska from labels like Trojan Records there's also a few tracks taken from the two tone label. Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae. It combines elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues and is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the upbeat. Some of the tracks aren't perfect quality seeing as they were taken from pretty scratchy vinyl but considering they're around 40 years old what can you expect :) Most of the tracks are 320kbps mp3's except for 4, 17, 22 & 26 which are 192kbps.

DJ Switch - Under Mi Dub Mix

Well I hope you had a nice christmas and new year and let's start off 2011 with a big ol' reggae mix. This one is from DJ Switch and was recorded in November 2010. It has a mixture of old and new stuff from people like Lee 'Scratch' Perry, The Clash and Barrington Levy. It's mainly reggae but there's also a little bit of ska, dub and dubstep thrown in for good measure. The download is all in one big 320kbps mp3 file. I haven't got the tracklisting but it starts with Bankrobber by The Clash, then a bit of Aswad and continues on from there :)

Ska Rarities Collection

Time for some ska I reckon. This is a collection of rare tracks from the mid to late 1960s and features some of the biggest names from that era.

I don't think this was ever officially released and has been floating round the internet under the name "Ska Rarities Volume 2: El Bang Bang".
