For our second podcast mix, we give you over an hour of hand-picked classic rocksteady. It doesn’t matter what the weather is like, we guarantee that this mix will make you feel like it is summer and you’re sitting at the beach sipping on something cold with someone you love.
If you missed it, read our Rocksteady overview, and the profiles on Lynn Taitt & the Jets, Alton Ellis, and Phyllis Dillon. Looking for something more upbeat? Our Electroclash mix might be what you need to get your weekend started.
To our American readers, happy Juneteenth. Have a fantastic weekend, and defund the police.
