Whatever Session – 43 – Hark – Sonic Vibes Mix 18 – Notting Hill Carnival VINYL Special – 01-08-2014 by Hark1karan on Mixcloud

Welcome! This is part 1 of 3 shows we have compiled for this years carnival (2014). Taking you through some classic eras over the years. This show will have a similar vibe to my previous mix from 2012 (click here to listen), covering tunes from 1963 to 1989 and while also capturing a soulful array of sounds from the beautiful island. A strictly vinyl mix collated from various reggae sources across London.

The mix is a short tribute to the early years of the carnival that began back in 1966, to the Caribbean communities that cultivated a carnival to bring joy to their people and the wider London community. I know a lot is said about the loss of spirit and community today, however we just want to celebrate that period.

London is a changing place and hopefully carnival makes it to 50 years. Either way we’ll be there with our Caribbean brothers and sisters celebrating. London and the world has much to be thankful for. Our support shall continue into the next two shows, where we shall be banging out some 90s classics and modern day bashment from 2010 onwards.

Oh yeah, I left out Sleng Teng riddim (1985) because I didn’t want to ruin the vibe of the show. Basically for those of you who don’t know, that riddim changed everything, it literally did.

Enjoy the show and thank you. Peace and love.
