100% Ska Podcast S04E43 – Spotlight on Guerrero Records, more New Releases, and a Lotta German Ska

Author: DJ Ryan Midnight December 14, 2021 Duration: 1:13:52

Tonight we put the spotlight on Guerrero Records, a new imprint coming out of Los Angeles focusing on traditional ska and roots reggae, as we listen to cuts from their first three releases (check them out on Bandcamp and Facebook).

We also listen to a bunch of new releases, including the digital-only EP from friends of the show The Georgetown Orbits (available on Bandcamp), a track from The Bluebeats “Alternate Mix” of their debut Dance With Me (available on Bandcamp), No Sports’ new album “Twang!”, and The Selecter’s 40th Anniversary release of Too Much Pressure.

We round it out with a whole lotta ska from Germany, along with the UK, Venezuela, Austria, and the USA. Just a bit of every style from around the world, as you’ve come to expect from 100% Ska!

If you are local to NYC, come out to our Holiday Ska Party on December 17th at Otto’s Shrunken Head!

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.
