Baroque Dub Mixtape Eighteen [bdmx0018]

Old School Ska Mix

A number of years in the making, this collection of back to back classics marks a bit of a departure from the usual eclecticism of baroquedub mixtapes. Apart from the two closing tracks when the tempo drops enough to start to hint at more of a reggae beat, this mix consists of 100% unadulterated ska. For the uninitiated, you'll find all the greats together in one bumper 105 minute compilation. As for the connoisseurs, just sit back and enjoy a non-stop party mix, expertly crafted for your dancing pleasure.
