DUSTY CRATES

From SummerFest Day 1: 2010-06-05

To say that things move slow down South in the summer is an understatement. Doing things “as slow as molasses,” as we say, is just how we do ’round these parts.

So, there. That’s my excuse as to why I’m just now following up two-months later on Free Press SummerFest 2010. Day One’s highlights included the air-conditioned Fancy Pants stage, Brett Koshkin’s soul 45 session and Kid Sis dub steppin. And although Day Two was over-cast with showers, the dirty mud people, Mic Skill’s rhymes, big pimpin with Bun B and the A/C stage still ruled!

Thanks to all the folks over at Free Press and Pegstar that made this year’s festival such a success. And thanks to all the performers at that DIRB! with us on the Fancy Pants stage!

Here are some flicks from that SummerFest weekend:

SummerFest: Day 1
SummerFest: Day 2

And just ’cause I made you wait this long, here are my favorite irie summertime slow jams:

• Chase the Cumbia Devil (Tupolev Soundcrash remix) – Max Romeo (mp3)
• Uptight remix- Stevie Wonder & Jay “Dusty” Smith (mp3 taken from the compilation Motown Flies Jamaica)
• Get Lite (Reggae remix) – The Beatards (mp3)
