free reggae?
Yes! Wake the town and tell the people! Free reggae music for you! How can you resist? Bashment time! Light up a nice…candle, and download 6 hours of reggae music and dance around your house, or drive down the road, level the vibes, enjoy these moments, for real!
Reggae is music for the people. In sensitive political times, I always like some good uprising sounds; a foundation in cultural celebration and political tears, add in some lovers crooning, hottah than fire rhythms and always the re-re-re-reverb and the echo-co-co-co. And you have a damn good soundtrack for days like these, music that parallels the "earth’s natural frequencies" (my friend Cyp said that, not me). It is future roots: made from what grows deeper and stronger into the grounds and yet reaching out for change, ever-evolving.
It just so happens I married a man who has Whale Medicine:he holds the records of the sounds. The history of the music, the people, their lives. The path of purveyor is scratched deeply in the delicate fibers of his heart. Plastic milk crates piled high and wide encase thousands of grooves etched in wax. He has been keeping them safe and loved and heard for over fifteen years.
I won’t share his impressive pedigree, just know that you are being offer an audio history of ska, rock steady, reggae, roots reggae, dub reggae, lovers rock, and dancehall from an A-1 Selectah. Nuff said.
Commercial-free, kid friendly, The Free Clinic is his weekly show on experimental community radio. I dare you to put down anything you are doing and dance all day long to this stuff.
Download the sounds. Call in and make requests or email him at greatstonesound@gmail.com.
There are very few places where you can get mixes this long and this quality for free. Have fun. My All Hallow’s Eve Day treat to you (new music up every week!)
Dr. Rock’s Free Clinic. Whatever ails you will be healed.
