The Ball of Fire in the late afternoon Singaporean sky gave way to yet another perfect sunset … and then More Fire!
Playing for 4 solid hours, the Straits Sound System laid down the best of Jamaica, from jump up ska, rolling rocksteady, deep roots, skanking dub and the perfect island beat. Big Ups to the Orita Sinclair School of Design, New Media and the Arts for letting us nice it up on their terrace, a great space to down Beer Lao as the sun goes down.
More pics and tracklists after the jump(UP!)

What is “Son of a preacherman (Reggae Remix)” credited to Paris DJs ?
cheers from Paris
Djouls
hey djouls,
thanks for the comment, and the quick reply to my question!
i think john played it off one of your podcasts – not sure which one though – which means there’s no ‘artist’ in the traktor generated tracklist. i hope it’s ok to play stuff off your podcasts out?
if you’re ever coming through singapore make sure and drop us a line – we’ll shout ya a beer at the very least 😉
cheers
