SUMMER MUSIC, LOOK IT UP

Dang me, I love it when someone makes it easy to listen to a mix, particularly when they're mixes that flow well, of decent quality, and the song selection is informed. Hat's off to Nitro Retro for a couple recently posted mixes of ska and rocksteady. They're relatively short (nine songs and ten songs) but worth it considering the quality, and they're mp3s so there's none of that "click on this, now click on that, scroll down and click on that" nonsense. Really fast downloads.

There's a new King Crab reggae mix too, over at Sofrito. Haven't heard it yet, but the first one was dyn-o-mite, no reason to believe this one won't be. Again, mp3 mixes, easy as pie. This post could be more informative, about the artists and such, but it's music, good music. Go listen to it and get out of my hair.
