HAY GUYS WUTS UP?!

Further to the thread I posted the other day, a friend of mine pointed out that the compilation 'An England Story' is actually an official release spawned by this Heatwave Blogariddim mix -

The Heatwave Collective - Blogariddims 10 - An England Story

But it has ended up including tracks from most years since 1984 and as far as possible we've tried to represent all the big players. For reasons of space and also of not having material on vinyl, we've had to exclude tracks from the likes of of Deman Rockers, Asher Senator, Roots Manuva and London Posse - there's more than enough material for several other mixes, and a volume two is definitely in the pipeline...

Woo! Looking forward to hearing this.

**Brisco Bold** · 27 Mar 2008, 08:40 PM

Holy shit this is amazing. I had no idea England had such a vibrant reggae scene. I said this to my mom and she laughed at me, as if I told her the sky was blue and poo is brown.

**Brisco Bold** · 27 Mar 2008, 08:48 PM

My turn!

The Electrolyte's The `Not Sure It`s A Minimix` Part 4

I must say, this is my favourite thread.

The history of Uptown Top Ranking is so fucking convoluted, especially because the first time I heard a version of the song was the track "Strictly Rude" on the album of the same title by Big D.

**Cowutopia** · 27 Mar 2008, 11:19 PM

Which track is it that Eminem bit for "My Name Is", Detour?
(apparently it's a track by Labi Siffre, but it's used here too)

Random - no thanks
Bump and Grind - meh, so cheesy.
hot show - ehh

I'm in love with whatever riddim is playing at 27:46.

What a wonderful remix of the "Under the Sycamore Tree/Rubbers" Riddim.

**Cowutopia** · 28 Mar 2008, 03:36 PM

Yeah I like that one too, just not the one that's right before it. I'm even more into Run For Cover playing at 29:38

I really dig Love Me Ses and Fashion Magazine
