Norman Jay MBE & the History of Good Times
As we celebrate the anniversary of one of our favorite, and certainly one of the most influential sound systems, it's nice to be able to take a look back at the development of Norman Jay's Good Times, and his shaping of popular tastes. Through conversations with Norman himself, and those close to him, we get to see some of the many things that made (and make) Good Times so special. Hats off to Norman, and to the parties which have brought so many people together.

Watch Mulatu Astatke Perform Two Songs Live In Sao Paulo
It's now been close to a year since we had the honor of releasing Mulatu Astatke's first solo album in decades, Mulatu Steps Ahead, but the album has stayed in heavy rotation for us ever since then. We're currently working on a new compilation featuring previously unheard material that will be sure to excite. More info on that coming soon (sorry to tease), but for now here are two clips from Astatke's recent Brazilian tour to tide you over.
