Plus the odd tune which I bought in 2005, but have no idea when it actually came out. It starts quite chill and gets progressively more banging. Roots, bashment and dub, comrades!<\/p>\n<p>The mix is dedicated to Gladdy Wax and the staff of the Wax Unlimited shop, which will be closing at the end of the year. A fundamental part of my reggae education, and a pillar of real culture in the increasingly gentrified Stoke Newington. I&#8217;d like to believe they&#8217;d still be there if I&#8217;d given them more of my money, but I certainly did my best&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>29 tracks, 71 minutes, 100megs. This is a live mix done in one take, so don&#8217;t expect any of the top of the range seamless perfection you get when me and <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.grievousangel.net\/\">Paul Meme<\/a> do a mix together. My mixer is verging on completely useless these days as well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist? Ha ha. That&#8217;s where the fun starts. Me and Paul have noticed that there are a load of people who download our mixes (which is great) but who never leave comments or get in touch (which is a bit depressing and not the reason we do this). And not only that, there are a few sites and message forums which seem to delight in linking directly to the file so that people hear our mixes without even seeing the context they appear in (i.e. the rest of the site\/blog\/etc).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Therefore the following conditions apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) If you want the tracklist, send me an email at <em>&#8220;spotter [at-sign] uncarved [dot] org&#8221;<\/em>. AND include someting in the email about the mix which proves you&#8217;ve already given it a listen.<br \/>\n2) If I see people linking directly to the file, I will take it down. (Link instead to https:\/\/www.uncarved.org\/blog\/2005\/12\/best-of-2005-mix\/)<br \/>\n3) If my bandwidth goes ballistic, I will take the file down.<br \/>\n4) If I see anyone putting the tracklist on the web, I will take the file down.<br \/>\n5) A <em>very<\/em> limited number of CDs are available for dial-up people <em>who have already been in touch with me<\/em> (or who I know from internet forums, etc) &#8211; email the address above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The mix will be up for about a week, all being well.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a great year for music. Despite vowing to listen to things other than reggae, that&#8217;s still been my staple diet. For all its faults it&#8217;s still the only genre which consistently excites me, and 20o6 easily has the potential to be even better.<\/p>\n<p>It should go without saying that people should seek this music out &#8211; and buy it &#8211; if they like the mix. There won&#8217;t be any more of these tunes if the producers, labels, singers and players don&#8217;t get a fair wage for their work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download from: here. 2015 Edit &#8211; now here: John Eden &#8211; Rough and Ready Best of 2005 Reggae mix by Johnedenuk on Mixcloud PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A ZIPPED FILE!
