SomaFM just introduced a reggae channel! I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. It’s available in FrogRadio of course, just click here, after reloading stations from the File menu or restarting. The channel is called “Heavyweight Reggae”. Here is Rusty’s story of the new channel:
When Dion and I first discussed a reggae channel over a year ago, he suggested a format that "would cover Jamaican music of the 60s, 70s and early 80s, specifically, what I like to call Heavy Reggae."
As for the name and logo, Dion says "Jamaicans have lots of songs about boxers and boxing matches. Prince Buster was a boxer before his musical career took off." And Heavyweight Reggae was born.
Our first task was getting together the base music library. "So much music was created in Jamaica during this time, that the music potential is seemingly limitless. Like Soul, there is much out there that you cannot find on CD or digital formats," says Dion. SomaFM loves deep tracks and hard-to-find gems. Heavyweight Reggae pulls from the station's and his personal collection of CDs, digital and vinyl sources.
Enjoy!
Somehow the Mac App Store version got through app review with no visible controls! All fixed now. Thanks to the users who let me know.
