Junior Murvin - Classics from the Falsetto

1/9/2026
Junior Murvin was born Murvin Smith on July 22, 1946, in Port Antonio, Jamaica, and raised in Kingston, where he began singing in the 1960s as part of local harmony groups. His early recordings leaned toward rocksteady and soul-influenced reggae, but it wasn’t until the mid-1970s that his voice, a high, falsetto style sometimes compared to Curtis Mayfield, became fully recognized. Murvin’s sound stood out in an era dominated by heavy roots vocals, giving his music an emotional, haunting quality that would later define his most important work. Junior Murvin - Childhood Sweetheart The Upsetter Revue; Junior Murvin - Closer Together Junior Murvin - Roots Train Junior Murvin - Cool Out Son Junior Murvin - False Teachin' Junior Murvin - Give Me Your Love Junior Murvin - Muggers In The Street Junior Murvin - Tedious Junior Murvin - Police & Thieves Junior Murvin - Memories - 12" Version Junior Murvin - Judas And Jesus Junior Murvin - Rebellion Junior Murvin; Jango - Bam Bam Bam Junior Murvin - Bad Man Possee Junior Murvin - World Inflation

Johnny Osbourne - A Voice With Soul

12/21/2025
Some artists belong to a moment. Johnny Osbourne is part of the evolution of reggae, dating back to the 1960s and the Studio One world, to the raw energy of 1980s dancehall. Osbourne didn’t just adapt to change; he carried his voice through it all while delivering his unique vocal style. Studio One foundations Johnny Osbourne came up at Studio One, and early recordings like “See and Blind” showcase a young vocalist steeped in soul, restraint, and melodic control. Studio One was a label but also a fertile training ground, a boot camp for many young artists over the years, and Osbourne took it all in. By the mid–1970s, Osbourne moved beyond Studio One and began shaping a more personal sound - his tone grew stronger and more street-aware. Tracks like “Truths and Rights” and “Ready or Not” feel like a bridge, still rooted in roots reggae, but miles away from his first Studio One Recordings. When dancehall took over in the early 1980s, many roots singers faded into obscurity. Osbourne didn’t. Instead of fighting the shift, he leaned into it — applying a roots-trained voice to harder, faster riddims. Songs like “Buddy Bye,” “Folly Ranking,” and “No Ice Cream Sound” became sound system staples, built for crowd reaction and rewind culture. It’s been 6 decades since the 77-year-old released his first music, and he is still recording to this day. That is a remarkable career and legacy. PLAYLIST Johnny Osbourne – See and Blind (with The Sensations) Johnny Osbourne – Truths & Rights Johnny Osbourne – Right, Right Time (with Earth, Roots & Water) Johnny Osbourne – Jah Ovah Johnny Osbourne – In the Area Johnny Osbourne – We Need Love Johnny Osbourne – Fally Ranking Johnny Osbourne – Ready or Not Johnny Osbourne – Purify Your Heart Johnny Osbourne – Ice Cream Love Johnny Osbourne – No Lollipop, No Sweet So Johnny Osbourne – Water Pumping Johnny Osbourne – Give a Little Love Johnny Osbourne – Rock and Come In Johnny Osbourne – No Sound Like We Johnny Osbourne – Never Stop Fighting Johnny Osbourne – Buddy Bye

When Punk Met Reggae in the '70s

12/14/2025
There was a crossroads in the UK during the ’70s, as dub and reggae sound systems were spreading and building a wider audience. By mid-decade, the rise of punk began - a raw, gritty DIY ethos that opened the door for thousands of youth who wanted to play music. Anyone was welcome. Don Letts is well known for helping introduce the sounds of dub and reggae to the punk scene at The Roxy, as both shared a like-minded attitude toward inclusion and anti-establishment values. It was only a matter of time before both styles began to appear in the same songs. This mix pulls together late-’70s and ’80s tracks where punk and reggae came together. PLAYLIST Stiff Little Fingers – Johnny Was The Ruts – Jah War The Clash – Bankrobber Bad Brains – I and I Survive Public Image Ltd. – Careering The Slits – Instant Hit The Members – Offshore Banking Business / Pennies in the Pound The Specials – Little Bitch (2015 Remaster) Generation X – Wild Youth The Police – Peanuts The Stranglers – Nice ’N’ Sleazy X-Ray Spex – Germfree Adolescence The Clash - Rudie Can’t Fail

Aram Scaram (Guest Mix)

12/10/2025
Aram Scaram began his DJ journey in Toronto’s late-90s underground, spinning at house parties and one-off club events before landing weekly residencies at the beloved lounges Ciao Eddie and Alto Basso. It was at Ciao Eddie where he met Sassa’le, founder of the influential Version Xcursion radio show on CKLN 88.1 FM — a connection that would shape the next chapter of his career. Scaram soon joined Version Xcursion as co-host and co-producer, helping transform the show into a staple of Toronto’s music landscape. Their weekly broadcasts championed dub, downtempo, trip-hop, reggae, and emerging Canadian talent, establishing the program as a go-to platform for genre-bending sounds. Over the years, Scaram has brought his signature style to major stages, including the Du Maurier Jazz Festival, the first Virgin Festival on the Toronto Islands (2006), and an opening slot for Massive Attack at The Carlu. He also founded Dub & Beyond, a hugely popular monthly club night at Andy Poolhall, broadcast live-to-air on CKLN 88.1 FM. Running for seven and a half years, it became a cornerstone of the city’s dub and bass culture. His international appearances include performing at the Shatter The Hotel release event in London and playing the legendary Dub Chamber party at OT301 in Amsterdam. As a producer with Version Xcursion, Scaram released two full-length albums and three singles, including the cult classic Moments featuring Treson — widely regarded by tastemakers as one of Canada’s standout tracks of the early 2000s. In 2010, he launched his solo project Citizen Sound, releasing a full-length album that featured the award-winning single Reggae Is Her Name with Blessed, which earned the Canadian Reggae Music Award for Best Male Single. A second Citizen Sound album followed in 2014, along with numerous singles and EPs. Throughout his production career, he has collaborated with many of Canada’s premier reggae and dub artists, including Ammoye, Blessed, Chester Miller, Treson, Dubmatix, and Prince Blanco. After a 14-year break from radio, Scaram returned in 2025 with Sound So Nice, co-hosted with Eddie Go Boom on CFRU 93.3 FM in Guelph, Ontario. The weekly show explores the deep roots of sound system culture — from Jamaica’s foundational influence to its global evolution — guiding listeners through reggae, dub, electronic, drum & bass, house, afrobeats, downtempo, and beyond. Driven by an electrifying musical selection, the show blends minimal commentary with occasional interviews featuring artists, producers, and organizers shaping today’s scene.
