Disco Reggae Volume Two keeps Stix Records’ winning formula rolling, delivering another sun-soaked set of disco and pop classics reimagined through a reggae lens. Following the success of the first volume, this nine-track compilation brings together eight new, exclusive versions from familiar Stix collaborators like Taggy Matcher, 7 Samuraï, Mato and John Milk, alongside Grandmagneto’s beloved take on “Tainted Love.” This time around, the selections stretch beyond obvious hits, touching on Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man” and Pharrell Williams’ “Happy”, while also dipping into the deeper corners of the Favorite Recordings catalogue with reggae-flavoured reinterpretations of tracks by Mr Day, Lee McDonald, Lucas Arruda and The Joubert Singers. Warm, smoky and effortlessly groovy, these cuts nod equally to classic Kingston studios and the slick pop-reggae crossover of the ’80s. Mastered and cut at Carvery Records in the UK and housed in a deluxe tip-on sleeve, Disco Reggae Volume Two is built for slow dancing, easy listening, and repeat plays.
