Mixtape Mondays: Curfew Steppas, Xyclone x King Waggy Tee, Major Steve

November 19, 2012

Words by DJ Theory —

As the Thanksgiving holiday rolls around in the US, we’re bursting at the seams with brand new and classic material here at Mixtape Mondays. Jamaica, Norway and Germany get a visit this week, as dancehall, culture and throwbacks bring three main ingredients to the table. We always break bread around here, so pull up a chair below.

Curfew Steppas, L.S.L volumes 1 & 2: All the way live from Oslo, Norway, we have a heaping double serving of roots and culture from bad boy sound Curfew Steppas. Making their MM debut with L.S.L (Live Some Life), selecta Fyah Vibes carries the flame from start to finish with almost two hours of new reggae music to get your week started on the right foot. Many of your favorite roots artists can be found here, but also choice selections from some newer and lesser heard voices as well. All tracks are listed on the mixcloud players here and here. Download volume 1 here, volume 2 here, and stream both below.

Xyclone x King Waggy Tee, Everything Red Out: Straight mixtape madness from the new youth on the scene and Spragga Benz co-signee Xyclone, with the big man out of Miami King Waggy Tee at the controls. Our dudes at Federation Sound got you hip to the single last month, now cop the full mix of new tunes, dubs and freestyles to get a taste of an artist that’s soon to buss on the dancehall world, with additional features from Sizzla, Deva Brat, Red Rat and Determine. Stream below, download here.

Major Steve, 90’s Tribute pt.1:  Stumbled on this wicked 90’s tribute mix, selected and recorded by Berlin, Germany’s Major Steve.  Not a lot of info to be found on the deejay, but this strictly vinyl digital reggae and dancehall mix delivers more than a little bit. Essential tunes from a crucial era, clean blends and some custom sound effects make for an easy listen around here. Full tracklist with labels and format here, stream a preview below but just download the full mix here.
