100% Ska Podcast S04E04 – New Old-Sounding Sounds plus Original Gravity Records

Author: DJ Ryan Midnight January 29, 2021 Duration: 1:10:10

Tonight on 100% Ska we are putting the spotlight on a host of newer and current bands that are carrying on the tradition of the old sounds and styles of ska, rocksteady and rootsy reggae.

Additionally, we are highlighting a newer label coming out of the UK, Original Gravity, which is proudly wearing its influence and love of Trojan Records and the spirit of ’69 on its sleeve and quite literally on its record labels.

Lace up your shoes tight because your going to be toe tapping and dancing before you know it!

DJ Ryan Midnight spins records and tells stories on 100% Ska Podcast, a weekly journey pulled exclusively from his vinyl collection. This isn't a random shuffle; it's a curated ride across the entire ska landscape. Each episode connects the dots, placing brand-new releases from today's vital bands right alongside the foundational sounds of 1960s Jamaica. You'll get the energetic anthems of the 2-Tone era, the punk-infused classics from the third wave, and deep-cut rarities that even seasoned fans might have missed. The focus remains firmly on the music's evolution and its current heartbeat, highlighting artists who are actively carrying the genre forward. Occasionally, the conversation turns to the people behind the music through interviews with bands, offering a glimpse into their process and passion. And while the commitment is to ska in all its forms, Ryan sometimes lets the set list wander into adjacent territories for a rare change of pace. Tune in for a genuine, crate-digger's enthusiasm that celebrates ska's past, present, and future, all heard through the warm crackle of analog grooves.
