Greetings family and welcome to the first edition of 2013. We are very pleased to bring you this special edition as the Ifficial kickoff of the new era of love and light.

During this set, we feature artists like Kabaka Pyramid, Tarrus Riley, Chronixx, Tilibop, Jah Sun and J Boog, Jah Vinci, Sophia Squire, Chris Martin and Freddie McGregor. Next up we get into some real roots music from Freddie McGregor, the Heptones, U Brown, Delroy Wilson, Barry Brown, John Holt, Eek A Mouse, Frankie Paul, Horace Andy, The Black Survivors, Burning Spear, Culture, and the Congos.

Blessed love.
We get started this week running some tunes from the mid 2000s, starting with I Wayne, Luciano and Richie Spice on the Hard Times Riddim, Daweh Congo, Luciano and Josey Wales, Jr Kelly, Jah Mason, Capleton and Anthony Red Rose. Next up we check out some new tunes from Jr Holt, Gyptian, Anuhea and Tarrus Riley, Etana, Beres Hammond, Djama Keita, Sizzla, Gappy Ranks, Pressure and Winstrong. Following a roots and early dancehall set featuring artists like Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor, Boom Back and The Viceroys, we get into what ended up being the most crucial set, in my opinion, of the night. This next set had a serious spiritual vibe, and started with The Wailer’s beautiful “Hallelujah Time” with Bunny Wailer on lead vocals and forwarded with Garnett Silk, Cocoa Tea, Sanchez, Beres Hammond and Samantha Strachan, Bingiman, Kehv, Yvad, Duane Stephenson and more. UPFUL vibes this week – not to be missed. One love to the family…
Rocksteady was the reigning Jamaican sound from roughly 1966 through 1968. In the first set of this edition we pay respect to rocksteady, which slowed the rythym down from ska and eventually evolved into roots reggae. This rocksteady set consists of bullet tunes coming from artists like Alton Ellis, The Jamaicans, Delory Wilson, The Federals, The Coolies, Errol Dunkley, Bob Marley and The Wailers, The Paragons and Leroy and Jr, and next we hear some early roots from Dennis Brown and The Abyssinians. Nice vibes continue for the show with big tunes from Freddie McGregor, Jr Delgado, Yabby You, Ranking Joe, Mykal Rose, Army, Midnite, Dezarie, Arkaingelle, Anthony B, Peter Tosh, Mark Wonder, Monty G, Alborosie and much more. Enjoy the set and peace and love until next time…
