30 years old and still banging…

Today we say goodbye to Jimmy Cliff, a cornerstone of Jamaican music and one of the most influential cultural figures of the last fifty years.

His songs (The Harder They Come, You Can Get It If You Really Want) helped carry reggae around the world… but his influence goes far deeper.

There’s a common misconception that Eminem sampled Jimmy Cliff for My Name Is, but the production actually comes from Labi Siffre, another example of how closely Jamaican, Caribbean and UK Black music scenes overlap.

His legacy sits across reggae, ska, pop, soul, film soundtracks, and modern sampling culture.

An artist whose work defined and inspired an entire musical era.

Rest in power, Jimmy.

We’re not crying, you’re crying 😭

The John Lewis Christmas ad just dropped and it hit right in the feels.

Where Love Lives with Labrinth’s version. Pure nostalgia. Pure magic.

That build up though… every clubber knows that feeling.
It’s the piano that gives it power - you can almost feel your hands in the air, lights cutting through the haze, lasers sweeping over the crowd, waiting for the moment that never quite comes.

Jump over to Spotify and it’s all there. The full version hits exactly where you expect it to.

Technics 1210s out.
Christmas o’clock officially starts now 🎄

And if you need some 1210 decks, we’ve got a load in stock ready to breathe life into your vinyl again.

10 years ago today.
We had the pleasure of welcoming into our studios as he rehearsed for the First Mind tour and hosted an unforgettable secret show in our main production room.

Still proud to have this signed memento on our wall… and even luckier to have had front row seats just weeks ago at Union Chapel for an incredible Dark Harvest Pt. 1 show. 🌱✨

29 years ago today, Green Day played the Woodstock festival (August 14, 1994), 6 months after Dookie was released. The performance was one of the most memorable of the festival, with the band getting involved in a mud fight with their fans. Bassist Mike Dirnt was mistaken for one of the fans jumping on stage and was spear-tackled by a security guard, knocking out one of his teeth.
