Hey kids!   I was out of town this weekend and Professor Skank, from Positive Vibes, stepped in and ran Ska’s The Limit on Saturday.  I’m always excited to hear what another DJ will bring to the show; and now that I’ve heard Skank’s take, I’m eager to share it with you all.  You’ll hear lots of Traddy, classic ska cuts, with plenty of The Clash, 2 Tone and 70′s punk.   The Professor programs a good ska set, for sure.

If you missed it on Saturday, you’ve still got two weeks to catch the archived stream over at KDHX.org.  Thanks for listening!

I started last night’s show with the debut of the new Ska’s The Limit Theme Song, by Matt Wixson.  Wixson also makes music under the name Babylon Party Machine, and I offer up two of his mash-ups right off the bat.  Then, after a quick overview of Symarip we got into some Cops and Robbers themed ska and reggae.  Then I finished you off, with a whole lotta aggressive dub.  And, once again, I completely forgot to mention this site on the air.  What is wrong with me?

If the playlist looks good to you, head on over to STL’s page on KDHX.org and stream it to your brain.
