It’s been a summer of reggae at Between Two Islands headquarters. I included a classic from the Wailers and a newly discovered gem from Dennis Brown’s vast catalog. Friendly Fires are possibly my favorite current band, and Oliver Nelson is possibly my favorite arranger; both are overdue for an appearance in one of my mixes. Besides making top quality electronic sounds, Budapest duo Gelka make beautiful and inspiring mixes, which you can find on Mixcloud, Soundcloud, and elsewhere.
