Olly Riva and his Magnetics have already made the scene listen and dance with their first album "Jamaican Ska". Now the 2nd prank of the Milan combo: "Coffee and Sugar" - a very balanced, swinging album. Definitely traditional ska, but quite idiosyncratic – one could also say Italian – interpreted. In Italian Ska there is a beautiful tradition of wanting to entertain with performances and music, which means that a lot of emphasis is usually placed on danceability as opposed to beer-like authenticity. "Coffee and Sugar" continues this tradition without restriction. As a guest, Mr. T-Bone from the Uppertones joins in (Source: irieites.de)

The second work in a short time. It seems that the MAGIC TOUCH wants to set a record in terms of output. Anyone who thinks that the whole thing is somehow at the expense of quality is definitely on the wrong track. The band around singer and mastermind Alex Buck has retreated to Jochen Ströh in Berlin's LoveliteStudio for this production and has brought another vintage pop to the world. The recordings, in contrast to the predecessor in Stereo, convince musically as well as in terms of sound again without compromise. In addition, the playing style of THE MAGIC TOUCH clearly notices the many joint concerts, among others with various greats of the Jamaican Early Reggae & Rocksteady .

The great first album of the Leipzig/Berlin band, which combines Rocksteady and Early - Reggae or Skinhead Reggae with many influences from Meters-Funk to Rub-A-Dub. Although the band has only been in existence since the summer of 2009, the record contains 15 original compositions, which you can't hear every day in this quality, with the recordings finished after only 5 days in the studio. Friends of the mono sound carrier should really access here!

US import, released on Jump Up!

This album contains dub remixes by Victor Rice of the Loving Paupers' 2023 album "Ladders".

Limited to 200 pieces of differently colored vinyl plus 2 stickers in each album

After three studio albums and over a decade deep in the music business, The Interrupters deliver their 2022 album In The Wild. This 14 track opus is the real deal; It's a story of survival, a story of resilience, from a band that's brave and rejects the simple impulses to just repeat what worked before. .This is also reflected in the uplifting mood and glittering appeal of the guests involved (Tim Armstrong, Rhoda Dakar, Hepcat, The Skints).

With their third album "Fight the Good Fight" the Interrupters put another ska punk board in the pipeline. The songs sound more mature and the density of the really good songs increases and rises. The three Bivona brothers and frontwoman Aimee Allen hit the ska-rude-boy attitude of Rancid and Co. Surely anything but a coincidence, because you find guitarist Kevin Bivona on the keyboard of Rancid and Tim Armstrong himself not only appears here as a producer, but the song "Got Each Other" is featured by Rancid. Who likes the early No Doubt or finds "Distillers meets Rancid" interesting should listen in !

The album of the pop-ska band from Brighton - great mix of ska and Britpop, the last album with Mick Clare as lead singer

The great expanders from Los Angeles play Jamaican classics from the 70s. A must have in every well-assorted plate shelf

The Ethiopians were one of Jamaica's most popular bands in the late ska, rocksteady and early reggae era. They were founded by Leonard Dillon, Stephen Taylor and Aston Morrison and recorded several hit singles including "Train To Skaville" and "Owe Me No Pay Me". When their third album was released, reggae music changed from rough and fast to a softer and slower level. With the soft vocals and organ sound in the background, they recorded Woman Capture Man. The album was produced by J.J. Johnson, who had a major influence on Jamaican ska and rocksteady music during the 1960s. Woman Capture Man is available as a limited edition of 1000 copies on gold vinyl. *Music on vinyl

The concentrated load of Dub, on the one hand from the downsetters weche had the tracks on the "Luna Reggae" album as well as the 8°6 crew who released the Dub Tracks on the Working Class Reggae". Worth listening to!

Yellow vinyl

Third album by the Two Tone / 3rd Wave Ska Band from Ipswich, UK. Originally released in 2018, this album is now being released on vinyl for the first time by Grover.

California Early Reggae and Ska! This album is a cross-section of the work of the last 3 albums that have been going on for 20 (!) Years existing band. Those who like the Aggrolites will also have their bright joy at the Debonaires, absolutely worth listening to!

New release on orange vinyl from Grover Records to 250 pieces! A CD is included with the whole thing. "Funky reggae for the working class", is how THE CAROLOREGIANS describe themselves. The Belgians prove on their second longplayer on Grover that a cool reggae and ska troupe does not need any winds. The focus is on guitar and organ work without degrading the craftsmanship and artistic work of the remaining musicians. Very positive ly not only that the two soloists work with different sounds in order to create a very special atmosphere for the individual songs. If THE CAROLOREGIANS made their production even dirtier, they could soon be sorted out as dirty reggae contenders on a high level with the AGGROLITES.

First album by the Belgian Funky Reggae Band. Of the 16 tracks on the album, most are without vocals.

The Caroloregians are the sister troupe of the magnificent Moon Invaders, the core of both bands is identical, but the Caroloregians do without blowers and orientthemselves to early reggae and classics like the Upsetters or Harry J. Allstars. Just over half of the tunes consist of the instrumental pieces that were often played at that time, of course with a dominant Hammond organ and, as usual in boss reggae, quite decent tempo. And Fat Is Back is also quite funky. There are also a handful of vocalcuts, sung in the Southern Soul twang of New Orleans-born Matt Hardison. Fat Is Back is fun without end and shows a band that adheres quite strictly to the Boss Reggae rule, but builds all sorts of inductions so subtly that it is a single joy.

Re-Relase on Black Butcher from the 1989 album of the Ska troupe from the Rhineland

Listening to this finely crafted collection of the early works of the Blues Busters in terms of sound and visual, you can well understand why the duo was chosen to represent Jamaica at the 1964 New York World Exhibition and to ensure that ska is brought into the American mainstream. As you know, this didn't work out at first, but it certainly didn't matter to Philipp James and Lloyd Osbourne Campbell, because although these recordings date back to the early sixties, when the Jamaican music industry was still in its infancy, they already sound surprisingly perfect. Unfortunately, both died far too early, in 1989 and 1991, and did not experience the late appreciation.

The new hot shit from France. The Berbiseyans from Lyon play finest skinhead reggae garnished with a dash of Oldschool 3rd Wave Ska. Worth listening to! Limited to 500 copies pressed on white vinyl.

Founding member Dave Wakeling presents his edition of The Beat as the first studio album since the band's dissolution in 1982 – Here We Go Love is a collection of 13 new and lively songs, with a perfect combination of contemporary sound and the timeless classics that made the band famous. "In addition to the live band, which provides a great groove on the album, some guests like Roddy "Radiation" Byers (The Specials, The Skabilly Rebels), Train guitarist Luis Maldonado and backing singer Durga McBroom, Kevin Williams and Jelani Jones are worth mentioning. The new album is the culmination of a long journey for Dave Wakeling. Here, the roots of The Beat are honored without clinging to the past.

The 4th album from the reggae soul sensation, The Bandulus is here! Recorded at Badasonic Studios in Belgium, the album features 12 scorching tracks that will take you on a sonic journey through the heat of the Texas summer to the cool breeze on a Jamaican beachfront. In classic 'dulus fashion, the songs will remind you of Motown with sweet harmonies and raw lyrics straight from the heart.

Born out of the ashes of previous projects together, Appetizers from Milan shared a desire to play authentic Jamaican music together. Entirely self-produced and recorded during the tough times of 2020, the LP was eventually released on wax by Badasonic Records. It features ten original tunes ranging from sweet rocksteady ("Pick Up The Pieces", "Wondering", "Fancy Make Up") to funk/New Orleans-inspired jams ("Dem Talk", "The Message", " Ol' Louis") and early reggae scorchers ("Walk The Long Way", "Pressure", "Tears"). As a bonus, dub master Victor Rice kindly offered to put his own spin on the "Dub Fruit" instrumental mix.

The second album by the likeable-crazy Scots from 2006. Greetings from The Specials and Madness. So that all this doesn't come across as too well-behaved, Disco (ex-BIS) has provided the necessary bite on the controls. THE AMPHETAMEANIES sound unmistakably like 2Tone from the island and are one of the best neo-2Tone bands with a proper punk rock factor in the world.
