@houseofreggae.bsky.socialHere's Tristan Palmer on a heavyweight Greensleeves 12" calling for peace in the dance. It reached the Top 10 of the UK reggae chart in Sept '83.
It features Lloyd Parks playing the deep bassline (an update of Hip Hug rhythm)...

@houseofreggae.bsky.socialToday would have been Lt Stitchie's 61st birthday.
If you get the chance, take some time to watch this video today in remembrance of one Jamaica's great DJs. It is a lot of fun...
@ejsang.bsky.social@houseofreggae.bsky.socialSaddened to hear dancehall legend Lt Stitchie died earlier today.
Stitchie was one of the most skillful and entertaining DJs of the 1980s. His records for King Jammy and Stereo One were some of the best from that era...
RIP 🙏
@houseofreggae.bsky.socialAnd so here's a short video of Brigadier Jerry in action on Metromedia sound in 1987.
His lyrics include a tribute to Peter Tosh and to free Nelson Mandela before riding the Real Rock and Shank I Sheck rhythms...

@houseofreggae.bsky.socialHappy 69th birthday to Brigadier Jerry.
Briggy promoted roots and culture lyrics in his influential DJ'ing on sound systems in the late 70s / 80s.
This carried over onto his record releases as well, like on this great 7"...

@houseofreggae.bsky.socialRemembering bass maestro Robbie Shakespeare who was born on this day in 1953.
