This week’s episode leaned a bit to the Reggae side, as I showcased a few of the many songs that have been performed to the Liquidator riddim.  Tracks like, What Am I To Do and Chairman of The Board feature the actual Harry J riddim.  However, these aren’t just versions of the classic riddim, oh no- these are live tunes, covers and  remixes that utilize the legendary bass and drum lines to create something completely unique.

Other than this riddim poping up ever set or so, this episode of STL went like usual- with plenty of new and classic Ska and Rocksteady.  Below you’ll find lots of liks to muisc and videos, and if you missed this episode you can find the online archive here.

Thanks to everyone at Dancin’ Mood for helping locate nearly all of the Liquidator tracks, and for being an all around great group of guys and gals.
