Remembering the legend Bob Marley who was born on this day in 1945. Here's one of my favourite records, which contains the immortal line... "One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain" youtu.be/INHVcFFt-a0?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinylsky #vinyl #musicsky #bobmarley

Play that beat! Because we’re wishing a very Happy Birthday to the Soul Sonicforce’s MC G.L.O.B.E. 🎂

Kiss dropped 40 years ago OTD and it left me gobsmacked. Prince was utterly peerless at this point.

Because I'm six hundred years old and a VAR-abolitionist I've long grown used to reflexively disliking New Things but yeah, ref-cam is fantastic fun.

Wheel up! Released OTD 35 years ago. Sampling Mantronix and the KLF Wipe the Needle was an absolute monster of a track, becoming a cornerstone in the development of jungle and UK breakbeat. B side wasn't too shady either. Big up Ragga Twins! Big up Shut Up & Dance!! youtu.be/ReHWhCyTNmw?...

"We got a special dedication To all those fly young girls.." Mantronix released Ladies 40 years ago OTD.

Released 44 years ago OTD. Town Called Malice/ Precious. A truly landmark double A single, it backed Weller's indignant howl against Thatcher's devastation of working class communities with Precious' white boy funk - a glimpse into the future directions Paul would explore with the Style Council.

Very shocked to hear that Sly Dunbar died earlier today. Sly was at the forefront of reggae music's development and innovation for decades. His extraordinary drumming on this dub is a personal favourite. youtu.be/1sAqYgPghGY?... RIP Sly 🙏 #reggae #reggaesky #musicsky #vinyl #vinylsky #slydunbar
