This album aims to celebrate and pay tribute to the unsung heroes of reggae music: the rhythm builders or Roots Architects.

FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/96 kHz | Front Cover | Time - 37:03 minutes | 628 MB
Reggae, Rocksteady | Label: Charly Acquisitions, Official Digital Download

Ken Boothe was the most soulful singer of the rocksteady era, often likened to a Jamaican Wilson Pickett, and his mid-'60s recordings for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One label were and are among the genre's most coveted sides. In 1970, he moved to Leslie Kong's Beverley's imprint for this album, which continued his string of hits with the songs "Why Baby Why," "Now I Know," and the title tune, "Freedom Street." We've remastered this landmark reggae/rocksteady release to make it sound better than it ever has, and pressed it up in a red & yellow swirl vinyl edition limited to just 300 copies!

Reggae, Rocksteady, Ska | Label: DMF Records, Official Digital Download

It’s been 43 years since the release of The Selecter’s seminal debut album Too Much Pressure and while it still inspires and resonates today, their new studio album Human Algebra keeps the fire burning with a stellar collection of hard-hitting tracks in the band’s own inimitable style. Human Algebra, released April 21st, is a word from the wise – from questioning ‘fake news’ (“Big Little Lies”), to pointing the finger at keyboard warriors (“Armchair Guevara”), and the scourge of knife crime (“Human Algebra”). Human relationships are also touched upon (“Boxing Clever”), along with a touching tribute to the late great Ranking Roger from The Beat (“Parade The Crown”).

FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/44,1 kHz | Front Cover | Time - 43:20 minutes | 433 MB
Reggae, Ska, Rocksteady, World, Funk | Label: Utopia Unearthed Records, Official Digital Download

YouremindmeofmyselfyoumakemeSICK! Dan Del Santo's legendary 1981 reggae-bayou-funk-swing-afro-calypso-mariachi-jazz private press classic, remastered and reissued for the first time ever since it's release. Dan Del Santo may very well be the greatest musician you've never heard of. He was a true staple of the Austin local music scene in his time, but without proper distribution to take his music further, and a career brought to a screeching halt from having to flee the country during the war on drugs in 1990, he faded into relative obscurity. Utopia Unearthed is working with Dan's family and friends to resurrect his music, as well as document his life and career.
