Closing out Skalloween in style (costumes optional):Monthly all-vinyl dance party—vintage ska scorchers, red-hot rocksteady & boss reggae stompers from resident selectors Shabbakano & Doubleplus and guests, spinning tunes that set early dancehalls ablaze from Kingston to Swinging London. Get Ready To Rocksteady!
This Month's Guest Selectors:
• DJ Lingerie
• Shark City Byrd
Vintage meets Modern:
We'll be adding some modern selections into the mix to complement our usual array of early Jamaican heavy hitters—lovers rock, 2-Tone, reggae punk, and ska-rocksteady-reggae revival bands from the '80s and beyond! From Studio One classics to fresh takes—bridging generations on the dancefloor while keeping that golden era groove alive.
We’ve been spinning these tunes at parties on the East & West Coasts, Texas, the Midwest, Mexico and Puerto Rico. But now we’re bringing ‘em back home to NOLA, where our local radio stations were a huge influence on early Jamaican Blue Beat. Stop on through, all are welcome. Big tunes from the top to the very last drop! 🔥🔥🔥
