Ska’s The Limit was strictly old school, last night.  If I wasn’t spinning Jamaican oldies like, 54-46, I’m in a Jam and Rudies All Around, you were hearing ASPO, New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble and The Impalers playing in an authentic fashion. Keep your ears up for King Django’s recent return to Ska in his nostalgic trip down Avenue A.

An added feature throughout, several modern artists who’ve taken a ride on classic JA riddims- Bitty McLean, Stephanie McKay, Dave Hillyard and most recently, Roger Rivas- all add their musical destinciveness to the beats you already love.  If you missed it, last nite, head on over to KDHX.or for the online version.
