Deadly Dragon Sound, NYC Vibes Vol.2: At the nucleus of those keeping foundation reggae—and vinyl itself—breathing are proud New Yorkers, avid record collectors, retailers, radio hosts, and reggae music purists Deadly Dragon Sound. We shared their NYC Vibes Vol. 1 right here last year, and had to give you the follow up for some hotstepping NYC deejay education as only Deadly Dragon could deliver. They dig deep into the styles that were ruling NYC in the ’90s from Bushwick to the Bronx to the clubs of Manhattan, and ultimately the world, via the breakout sounds of Signet Records and their crew of Sting International and DJs like Shaggy, Mad Lion, Screechy Dan and Red Fox. The mixes touch on some of the other NYC labels of the time like Tan Yah, Secret Rival and Massive B, specifically artists like the late Sluggy Ranks, Private P, Trouble, Daddy Sylva and more. As always, the mix is comprised of 100% vinyl, with no long talking or gimmicks, just straight vintage juggling at its finest. Pree the mix below, get the track list here and check out more wicked DD mixes here.

Watchyanow, this week we’re juiced to share an exclusive premiere of pure mixtape niceness from London rudeboy Wrongtom. Repping the big league Tru Thoughts label, the mix dips into crucial 80′s reggae, dancehall and digital bizness, while also giving you a taste of what to look forward to with his newest original project In East London longside UK deejay Deemas J. Following up his last album with LDN heavyweight Roots Manuva, Wrongtom—and Deemas—let their 80′s reggae influence shine on In East London, with some of those essential selections making their way into this mix, alongside vintage gems from Horace Andy, Courtney Melody, Sanchez, Ninjaman and a slew of lesser names, too. 80′s dancehall lovers should have a field day with this one.
