There also was some Zionhighness coneection there, bless up Queen Easy & Fredzzz!

Horace Andy - Love Hangover
Jezzreel - I Put My Trust
Junior Delahaye - Mystic Revellation
Jah Batta - Informer

For all you nerds like us here's some niformation i found about the label. Have fun with the mix its for download and dont hesitate to spread it around!!!

Wackies is an American independent record label specialized in reggae and dub music.

Founded in the 1970s by Lloyd Barnes, as the Wackie's House Of Music based on White Plains Road in New York, the name Wackies also include a record shop and a studio. It is considered by some to be the first significant reggae studio and label in the United States.

Wackies Sound
Wackies music has a distinctive sound. It is bass heavy and deliberately crafted to have what some people call a "lo-fi" sound. Wackies achieved this sound using special recording techniques and equipment. This equipment was so notable that some pieces now have a place in the Les Paul Museum. Popular Jamaican reggae artists such as Horace Andy, Sugar Minott, and Wayne Jarret appeared regularly on the label. However, Lloyd Barnes developed a number of New York-based artists such as: Itopia; Chosen Brothers; Love Joys; Jah Batta; Clive Field Marshall; Dub Generals, and Junior Delahaye, whose releases primarily appeared on the Wackies label. Most commonly known as "Bullwackie All Stars," Lloyd Barnes worked with a notable group of studio musicians including: Jerry Harris; Ras Menelik; Jerry Johnson; Clive "Azul" Hunt, and Douglas Levy.

Influence on Hip Hop
Wackies music, while mainly known for its contribution to reggae, influenced the burgeoning hip hop movement of late-70's and Early-80's New York. Reggae sound system dances were quite popular throughout New York City. Wackies music was played on specialized, powerful soundsystems while reggae deejays such as Jah Batta vocalized rhythmically and melodically atop the trademark bass-heavy sound. This influenced and encouraged the development of the hip hop parties featuring live MC's, the counterpart to the reggae soundsystem deejay. In 1979, Wackies also released one of the earliest hip hop records, "Wack Rap" by Solid C., Bobby D., and Kool Drop.

1990's and Wackies Far East Chapter
Wackies continued to record and release music through the 1990s, and in 1999 collaborated with Ras Takashi to form the Wackies Far East Chapter in Japan. An extensive promotional tour of Japan featuring Ras Takashi and Ras Kush of Black Redemption Sounds of Praises occurred in the same year to establish the label.[2][3]. Releases on the Wackie Far East label included contribution from Lloyd Barnes, Ras Takahi, Ras Kush, among others. Wackies Far East Chapter, under the guidance of Ras Takashi, continues to be a force for Wackies release and distribution in Japan.

2000's
Wackies music continues to be released in the 2000s. Jammyland, Plush label, Ras Takashi, Dubsensemania and many others continue to collaborate with Lloyd Barnes. Concurrently, re-issues of 1970's and 80's Wackies music have attained remarkable popularity and remain a constant force on the vintage scene.

LOVE AND ROCKERS: interview Ted Bafaloukos

Last week MR T hooked me up with a very interesting interview: Ted Bafaloukos Taught Us Everything We Know About Jamaica,  on the Vice website here. Ted made the movie Rockers in the seventies, and it still holds as one of my favorite regae movies ever, read about how a Greek ended up 2 years in Jamaica. Also lots of cool picures; the one up here is Ted himself together with Horsemouth, and down here we Richard 'dirty' Hall smoking his herb.

Sat May 29th: Reggaebomb ft Foundation Sound @ Tivoli de Helling

(from the tivoli site:) A Reggae Bomb is een eerbetoon aan de authentieke reggae: rootsreggae, ska, rocksteady en vroege dancehall. Verwacht oude klassiekers en de nieuwste hits - voor modieuze, aan r&b en hiphop verwante dancehall is echter geen plaats! Keurmeesters zijn resident-dj's Don Arco, Sideburn Sound, Souljah, Ivoryman & Skank Around Sound. En vanavond verwelkomt het vaste team een special guest: Foundation Sound. Dit soundsystem, in 2000 heropgericht door Zebulon is het roodgoudgroene thuis van dj’s als Gusto, Montana, Norman B & Junior Gun. The ruling sound outta The Netherlands!

Fri June 11, 2010: Richie Spice @ Tivoli Oudegracht, Utrecht

 from the tivoli site:

Reggaezanger Richie Spice is afkomstig uit Kingston (Jamaica), de stad waar de helft van de inwoners reggaezanger is en de andere helft producer of dj. Zoals bijvoorbeeld de broers van Richie: dj Snatcher Dogg, zanger Spanner Banner en producer Pliers, bekend van Chakademus & Pliers. Richie Spice begon zijn muzikale carrière als openingsact voor zijn broers, maar was al snel klaar voor de hoofdrol. Samen met zijn band mengt hij jarenzeventigreggae met dancehall en rap tot een, eh, kruidig geheel. En ondanks zijn roem vergeet hij zijn afkomst niet, vandaar ook de titel van zijn nieuwe cd: Street Life!
