Dec 25th 2000: As the 20th Century drew to a close Streamola was at its Zenith – a regular community audience would gather in the Yahoo Club Rasta to listen. Popular selecters like AK The Conqueror (lovers rock), and Humble Tafari of Wildfiyah (lightning and thunder), Manwel in Malta, Raggamuffin in West Va, would take turns to feed the Streamola shoutcast server in NYC. In a massive session on this day Ras Kush stepped into the studio to fill the slot between AK and Humble, providing fine cheer and goodwill to all. His set, as often, kicks off with a heavy dose of Wackies. Welcome exposure is given to NYC steppers from The Kushites, before we are launched headlong into a lengthy tribute to recently passed artists Augustus Pablo and Bim Sherman. After the amazing, and rare, Hortense Ellis 7″- Superstar, there is a selection of brand new tunes out of NYC, Germany, and then an extended selection of foundation Thompson Sounds.
Pt.2 and Pt.3 are coming.

Here is another contribution to Streamola programming from The Dubologist – a board recording of Lee Perry playing Wetlands in NYC in June 99. While Lee has toured with some regularity in the last few years he was still a rare and exotic specimen at this time. I’m guessing Dubo was DJ-ing the show and that’s how he came by the tape. Can we identify the backing band? Mad Professor & The Robotiks?

A  welcome and stylish contributor to Streamola was the man known as The Dubologist – a member of the WBAI selecter collective The Midnight Ravers who, to this day, can be heard all over the tri-state area for three hours every other Friday midnight on 99.5FM. As well as contributing to live sessions The Dubologist also shared some of the Midnight Raver awesomeness. This particular program – a nyahbinghi spectacular – was originally broadcast on July 28 2000, and recast over streamola to an appreciative global audience in November of that year.
Part 2 is here.

At the Streamola studio we were occasionally honored by a visit from Andrew Tosh. In 2000 I was fortunate to be able to program a board recording of a recent show in Brazil. A fine performance that truly shows that musical talent was passed from father to son.
