Double L just started his own blog to highlight all the Carribean riddims runnin tings. To celebrate he just upped a brand new mix with nothing but Island fiyah!
For my first mix I went the one drop route, kicking off with the new Estelle “Come Over” remix featuring Sean Paul. Big big tune!!! I keep it moving on the lovers vibe then into an old school run of ganja tunes pon the “Swing Easy” riddim and into the big “Police In Helicopter” riddim I posted last.
FEDERATION SOUND IS BACK!!! Thank GOD!!! The one and only, KING of Philly reggae, Kenny Meez, has finally found a new home for his Marinate Sundays! So….let’s all roll over to bamboo and end this holiday weekend right!
The incredible set from Kenny Meez at the Mad Decent Block Party reminded me how I need to post more dubplate pressure. For your weekly dose, be sure to subscribe to the Federation Sound podcast. Every Friday for 15 months now, a weekly selection of almost strictly dubplates from the Federation crew, Max Glazer, Kenny Meez, Disco D (RIP) and Alric & Boyd. This past week featured Elephant Man, Mr Evil, Everyone Nose remix, A Millie Remix and many more.
Oh man, Kenny Meez was my favorite part of the block party. Nothing like some dancehall, reggae and dubplates on a hot summer day. So heres an old favorite.
Beenie Ma - Who Am I? (sim simma)
I also realized that I do not post enough dancehall and reggae jams so I hope to correct that.
Now presenting the FiftyOneFiftyOne.com monthly mix podcast jumpoff (fully web 2.0 compliant). First up we scooped up Double L (as seen to the left) to put fiya on the riddims. You may remember last years Home for Carnival that he collaborated on with El Professor. Well he’s back with a new mixtape called In Ya Bloodclot Face featuring the hottest dancehall riddims out there.
double L is one of eight members of G13 SOUND, a Philadelphia-based DJ collective specializing in rockin’ parties and purveying good music. He has just released In Ya Bloodclot Face, a sonic trip through the toughest, hottest dancehall riddims coming outta yard. This is the follow up to this past summers’ Home for Carnival, which spotlights some of the biggest soca hits from the past 5 years and was collaborated on with fellow G13 member, El Professor. Music has always been a part of L’s life. Starting with piano lessons at age 5 that lasted for the following 10 years, to playing guitar and drums in various bands through high school and now DJing. Through the years double L has played all over the Philadelphia metro area, including venues like Transit, Shampoo, Chrome, Loie, Filo’s (RIP), Sugar Mom’s & many more. Currently, you can catch him Thursday nights at Byblos (18th & Sansom, Rittenhouse Sq., Phila.). (Holla at a Philly Weekly to get the coupon for a free hookah.)
