Via Tropical Bass comes this 80-minutes-mix by Junior Decker – “Ghettolove 2.0”. Here’s what he has to say about it himself:
Welcome to Ghettolove 2.0 - “She said she liked it a bit harder”!
Like the last one, this is not the latest stuff but rather an overview of music I liked to listen to over the past 12 months. Definitely harder than the first one, more Electro, more straightforward, less HipHop. Just music to listen to while you cruise your fixed gear ‘round town and pretend to have a relevant life, just like I do. Enjoy & let me know what you think!
In the first hour, Nick Widmer presents current Reggae, Dancehall, Hiplife and Soca tunes in the mix. In the second hour, DJ Slechman brings you original 70’s Roots and Rocksteady music.

This weekend, from March 19th to March 21st, Strawberry Hill will see »the sound of Europe« arriving to Jamaica with »Moving Mountains« festival taking place for the very first time:
The queen of house Sarah Main, resident DJ in Pacha, Ibiza brings the sound of David Guetta’s F*** Me I’m Famous extravaganza and her organic and energetic productions. Worldwide recognized for her talent, Sarah Main will be collaborating with Jason Bye in this exotic party in the tropics. Jason, a resident DJ in Space Ibiza boasts a unique style and ability to read the crowd and pump any dance floor.
While we are no big fans of house music at all, we definitely welcome the initiative and especially like the fact that »Di Maggio - The Last Don« (see hilarious teaser #04 above) will be screened there on Saturday (which will be mainly Roots Rock Reggae and Dub) 10pm local time to entertain uptown Kingston.
Lady Chann has been part of North West London’s Suncycle crew since it’s conception, and now she’s branching out alone with her »Sticky Situation« EP arriving on April 12th.
Upfront, she will release a mixtape which goes by the name of »Dun Dem Season Vol 1« and which features the likes of Beenie Man, Sticky, South Rakkas Crew, J2K, Warrior One, Serocee, and Toddla T.
Toddla T also did a remix of »Sticky Situation« about which Kev Kharas over at RCRDLBL writes:
I’ve never heard a sexual surrender as fiery as this remix of Lady Chann’s »Sticky Situation«; a satisfyingly vulgar mashing of house, bass, sirens and bodily fluids that professes sweet love for another girl’s man in its chorus, before fighting her for him in lairy, funky-house-punch-up verses.
