Our pals from 74 SoundSystem in Jacksonville, Florida are back with another cool and deadly mix of rub-a-dub, reggae, and rocksteady! Straight from the record deck to your head it's selectors MB1 and OK Fred.

We drop in and out of the mix with a conversation with the selectors and talk about what drives them musically and what things are like in Jacksonville.

This is their second podcast for Pressure Drop and they have agreed to do one for us quarterly. We're very excited to have 74 SoundSystem jump on board with Pressure Drop.

Check them out at http://myspace.com/74soundsystem

This is a very special episode this week.

We are paying tribute to Dave 'Bassie' Fuentes.

Some friends and family of Dave have taken the time to share some of their stories and memories about Dave. In part one of this series you'll hear from Jesse Wagner(Aggrolites), Greg Lee(Hepcat), Dave's wife Yohanna Fuentes, and Lino Trujillo(Hepcat), and a few fans who had some thoughts to share as well.

We asked them what kind of person he was, what was he like as a family man, and as a musician. In talking to them it became very clear that the story of Dave Fuentes is just as much the story of the band Hepcat.

This is their story

This is a tribute to Dave Fuentes and Hepcat.

We are back up and running!

It's been a long and lonely month away from you all so open your arms up wide and embrace the featured sounds we got for you this month! We got a chance to talk to Naima and Moritz from the band K-Mob in Hamburg, Germany this month and they told us all about the band, they're new album, and life in Germany.

They play some of the most unique and addictive rocksteady, soul, and reggae music I've ever heard. We also got a few new tunes to play for you that we have recently received. So gather around and turn up the sound, Pressure Drop is back in town!

This is a special tribute episode for one of my all time favorite singers Alton Ellis. Sadly he passed away this week of lymphatic cancer which he had been fighting for some time.

Right to the end he was still performing and moving people with his powerful soulful voice.

His musical legacy is vast and varied and we I have pocked out a dozen of my personal favorites. These tunes can make the mood right at anytime in any place.

Whether your a long time fan or new to his music, please enjoy this selection and introduce someone to Mr. Soul Of Jamaica...Alton Ellis.
