100% Ska Podcast S06E11 – Countdown to Supernova Ska Festival 2023 Anticipation Episode

Author: DJ Ryan Midnight July 15, 2023 Duration: 1:10:30

With only two months until the beginning of Supernova International Ska Festival 2023, I thought it was time to start counting down and giving the bands playing this year some extra love!

So here are about half the bands you’ll hear all weekend long, between the official festival and the after party shows. We’ll continue to showcasing the great acts coming as we get a bit closer to September.

Of note, this weekend is the last weekend to get your weekend passes, so head over to supernovaska.com if you still need ’em! Weekday tickets, and after-party tickets, will still be available.

And now, on with the anticipation!

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.
