RIP Romanthony.

Shocked to hear this. Saw him play out about 5 years ago. Such a positive and energetic figure in the scene.

Jack it up selector! The Heatwave cram the biggest UK hits to come out of Jamaica into one crazy mix: 50 years + 83 tunes x 73 minutes = approximately five million rewinds. These songs have been pulled up, wheeled, rewound and replayed literally MILLIONS of times - in bedrooms, house parties, blues dances, nightclubs and raves throughout the UK.

To celebrate 50 years of Jamaican independence, The Heatwave’s quickfire insanity-inducing DJ style is applied to half a century’s worth of classic tracks. 50 years of Jamaican sounds hyping UK ravers. How many times will you rewind this mix?

I’m not a producer, but this recent dig out is making me want to compose a beat. Crazy open loops in the RZA/Portishead vein.

It’s a Latin psych/pop ballads LP distributed by Fania subsidiary International Records. I think dudes are from Chile and Mexico.

Update via Wikipedia:

Their music is a blend of boleros, psychedelic funk and rock music, known as Balada rockmántic.

That sounds about right.

Perhaps there would have been less drama if F. Scott Fitzgerald had been forged in the crucible of the Smooth Jazz Age.
