Thanks for checking out another episode of Ska’s The Limit!  Ska and Reggae dominate the show as always, metered with some 2 Tone and 3rd Wave, plus I’ve snuck in a few Punk and Oi tracks to keep it interesting.

As usual, you’ve got 2 weeks to give the show a listen, before the whole thing self destructs. [Link to STL Archive]

Last night’s episode flowed so well, didn’t it?  Well, I was happy with it-  I started things off nice and sweet with a couple of slow and spooky numbers from Lord Kitch and Maddie Ruthless, before digging into the straight ska portion of the set.  There was new stuff from The Simmertones, The Beatdown, Dionne Bromfield and more; and the show finished up with a set of dubby ska and reggae from the likes of Scrappy, Victor Rice and The Skatalites.

If you missed the show, all is not lost- head on over to KDHX.org, where the episode will stream for the next two weeks.
