Steve the Hat returned in January with two fantastic sets of 60s and 70s Jamaican tunes. Tommy Rock A Shacka and Ash arrived in February for our first international dance party. They brought nothing but boom tunes and rarities galore!

Viktor and I have been busy organizing all of our photos and videos from January and February, and this week we’ll bring these updates to Reggaedelic Sounds.

Stay tuned for photos, videos, reviews, and more!

And as always, the Rocksteady Lounge is EVERY Monday…see you at Akbar!

TerryLee and the Rocksteady Lounge welcome back Tommy Rock-A-Shacka (Japan) and Ash (UK) for their final farewell night at the Rocksteady Lounge! One last chance to listen to rocksteady and reggae rarities before they return to their home countries.

The final even takes place this Monday, February 15th at The Rocksteady Lounge (Akbar). And best of all, it’s free! With drink specials all night long ($2 pints/$7 pitchers, $3 Red Stripe).

Nina and Viktor will provide vintage Jamaican tunes as well.

Tommy Rock-A-Shacka (http://www.dandb-far-east.com/ http://www.drumandbass-rec.com/) is one of the world’s top collectors and DJs of Jamaican music. He releases legitimate reissues of Jamaican artists and producers on CD and vinyl (Rock-A-Shacka label), as well as t-shirts and other merchandise. Listen to some of his killer selections on Pirate’s Choice radio (http://www.rock-a-shacka.com/pirates_choice.html).

Ash (Aquarius) hails from London, where his father was an original roots soundman in the 1970s. Ash carries on the tradition, and brought a tasty selection of ska and rocksteady to delight a dancing crowd.

Let’s Get Together this Monday at the Rocksteady Lounge! An evening of vintage Jamaican muzik not to be missed!
