Disco Reggae Volume One

Disco Reggae Vol. 1 is exactly what it sounds like, and better than you expect. Launched by Stix Records, a new Favorite Recordings offshoot devoted to reggae-flipped covers, this compilation brings together a trusted crew from the Favorite universe: The Dynamics, Blundetto, Grandmagneto, 7 Samurai, John Milk, Taggy Matcher and more. Classic cuts by Madonna, Herbie Hancock, Curtis Mayfield, the O’Jays, Sugarhill Gang, and beyond are rebuilt with deep reggae and rocksteady grooves, blurring the line between homage and reinvention. Familiar melodies glide differently here—warmer, looser, sunnier, until you forget which version came first. Pressed on deluxe 180g vinyl and housed in a tip-on jacket, this is a feel-good selector built for repeat spins.
