Dubmatix Sticky Icky Reggae Mix

• New Funk Movement

  A few years back, my dad and I had a radio show called “Groove Radio” on the local University Radio Station, playing funk, some hip-hop, gospel, soul, etc. That show was picked up at Jazz FM here a few years later. This was right at the start of COVID on a Tuesday night, and we grew the listener base from a couple of thousand to 30000+ in just over a year. COVID was one factor, but the other was the music and artists we were selecting. We’d each bring in our tracks and rinse them out, tune-fi-tune styles. The challenge was that we needed music enough to fill 3 hours every week. This is where we discovered an incredible pool of young talent creating, fusing, and releasing wonderful music. For this mix, I dove into a selection of artists that bring old school funk and hip-hop together into modern times - New Funk, Modern Funk, however you describe it, FUNK is in each one of these tunes. PLAYLIST The New Mastersounds – Lack Of Afro – Idle Time (Lack of Afro Remix) Orgone – The Only One The Dap-Kings – Nervous Like Me The Tao Of Groove – Honeybee Blues Lettuce – Mt. Crushmore Ikebe Shakedown – The Hold Up The Budos Band – Budos Rising Pacific Rhythm Combo – Lance Ferguson – Honky Tonk Popcorn Mr President – Left and Right Breakestra – Dark Clouds Rain Soul (Dub) Polyrhythmics – Yeti, Set, Go Lack Of Afro – One for the Trouble Big Boss Man – Sea Groove El Michels Affair – Uzi (Pinky Ring) Speedometer – Rubberneck

• The Beastie Boys - Brooklyn Beats To International Streets

  Beastie Boys’ Anthology: Sounds of Science, Michael Diamond (Mike D) says: “We had all been influenced by Lee Perry’s productions. We were into how on reggae recordings there would often be a ‘dub version’ on the b-side of a single, a practice that got co-opted by a few punk and early hip-hop singles as well.” Who knew? When their debut “License To Ill” was released in 1986, almost 40 years ago - it was fresh and had a great sense of humour, playfullness that on the surface could be disregarded as white-boy rap, but if you took a close listen you’ll notice the attention to detail in the music - the use of sampling, 808 Drum Machine, experimentation, mixing and overall production - this was groundbreaking. The lads and Rick Ruben had crafted something unique that had not been done before. In 1985, it was Run-DMC, Schoolly D, and LL Cool J, but by 1986, hip-hop had begun to transform, and part of that was due to this release. They’d pulled together all the elements of their musical inspirations, Run-DMC, WWF Wrestling (Rick Ruben is a known superfan of the sport), The Clash, Dub, Punk, along with a frat-boy, teenage FU attitude. They’d taken hip-hop to a level while still paying homage to those they’d learned from, borrowed from, sampled from and absorbed. Within the following year, you’d have more groundbreaking releases from Boogie Down Productions, Marley Marl & The Mighty Public Enemy. On their 1998 album Hello Nasty, Lee Perry is on “Dr Lee, PhD. Perry’s fingerprints are evident: spring reverb, echo throws, and that cosmic feel only he could bring. They also collaborated with Mad Professor (the recording in question is the unreleased dub instrumental album that Mad Professor and the Beastie Boys made, presumably at some point between the releases of Ill Communication and Hello Nasty) from Beastiemania.com. Dub has woven its magic thread throughout so many styles of music, not to mention launching entirely new genres via direct inspiration and use of dub techniques and sampling, that we shouldn’t be surprised to see that same link with the Beastie Boys.

• Jimmy Cliff – The Joyful & Uplifting Voice Of A Gentleman

  Certain artists bring a feeling of soulful upliftment and leave a mark on your musical heart - Jimmy Cliff is one; you sense a man smiling and embracing life. He’s navigated Jamaica’s musical evolution from the start, with 1962’s Hurricane Hattie, to the soundtrack that put him front and centre on a global stage in 1972. He’s continued to release beautiful music that speaks to our spiritual sides, and his legacy will live on for generations to come. R.I.P. Jimmy. (1944-2025) Jimmy Cliff was born James Chambers in 1944, growing up in rural Somerton before moving to Kingston as a teenager to chase the fast-rising ska scene. He was writing songs before most kids his age finished schoolwork, and at just fourteen, he walked into Beverley’s Records and caught the attention of producer Leslie Kong. That meeting changed everything. Kong recorded Cliff’s first breakout song, “Hurricane Hattie,” which turned the young singer into a local star and opened the door to the bustling world of Kingston studios, sound systems, and emerging talent. By the mid-1960s, Cliff had outgrown the island and pushed his music into London, where his sound found a new audience. The turning point came in 1969 with “Wonderful World, Beautiful People,” a UK Top 10 hit that introduced his voice and message to listeners far outside Jamaica. Songs like “Many Rivers to Cross” showed a different side of him - raw, vulnerable, and deeply soulful. Then came The Harder They Come in 1972. Cliff didn’t just star in the film; he carried its soundtrack with songs like “You Can Get It If You Really Want” and the title track, helping reggae explode onto the global stage. Jimmy Cliff passed away on November 24, 2025, at age 81, leaving behind one of reggae’s most influential legacies. His catalogue stretches from ska and rocksteady roots to crossover hits decades later, including “Reggae Night” and his 1993 revival of “I Can See Clearly Now.” For a one-hour tribute mix, you’ve got a whole arc to work with, early Kingston youth, global breakthrough, soundtrack legend, and the unmistakable voice that helped carry reggae to the world. PLAYLIST Jimmy Cliff – Hurricane Hattie Jimmy Cliff – King of Kings Jimmy Cliff – I’ve Been Dead 400 Years Jimmy Cliff – Struggling Man Jimmy Cliff – You Can Get It If You Really Want Jimmy Cliff – Fundamental Reggay Jimmy Cliff – Wonderful World, Beautiful People – Single Version Jimmy Cliff – Let Your Yeah Be Yeah Jimmy Cliff – My Ancestors Jimmy Cliff – I’m No Immigrant Jimmy Cliff – Oh Jamaica Jimmy Cliff – Sufferin’ in the Land Jimmy Cliff – The Harder They Come Jimmy Cliff – Stand Up and Fight Back Jimmy Cliff – Treat the Youths Right Jimmy Cliff – Sooner or Later Jimmy Cliff – The Harder They Come Jimmy Cliff – Bongo Man
