Back in 2011, Toronto-based creative Sean Brown (who also did the art for my Trillian beat tape) had this project called "Art of Reuse" at the time where, in addition to having a traveling retail shop, he curated a number of really beautiful and thoughtful mixes called "ThriftKasts" with some really amazing artists. I believe each ThriftKast was paired with audio samples from a film, and he asked if I'd be interested in doing a mix of all reggae paired with audio from the classic 1978 Jamaican film "Rockers." I don't know if he realized how much reggae I was listening to at that time, but I was super glad he asked me cuz it worked out perfectly. Still one of my favorite mixes I've made to this day.
( This is not the original cover artwork that Sean Brown did for the mix. I couldn't locate it anywhere, so this what we rockin with for now <3 )
