SOUND⚡WAVES | Vol #27

When DJ Waves said she wanted to make a chilled out reggae mix for Volume #27 of SOUND⚡WAVES we had no idea that just a few days later the music world would be rocked by the news of Lee 'Scratch" Perry's death. The monumental reggae singer, producer and studio wizard pushed the boundaries of Jamaican music — and as a byproduct, rock, hip-hop and dance — into new musical horizons.
But this is in no way a Lee Perry playlist. In fact, there's only two tracks from him in the mix (though his fingerprints can be felt on plenty of other tracks). Instead, it's more of a broad look at reggae and dub music in general — from Sister Nancy all the way to Snow.
Featuring Lee "Scratch" Perry, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Toots & The Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, Carol Cool, Snow, King Tubby, Marcia Aitken, Shaggy, Budgie and more.

Build Feature: Colby Baker's 1955 Bel Air Inspired Shadow Chopper

Chopper life. Why do we do it? What drives us to strip a perfectly fine factory bike down its bare bits and build something entirely different in its place? It’s a compulsion born of late nights, the smell of angle grinder dust, and the burning desire to bleed your own identity into a machine. You don't just modify a bike like this; you exorcise it. For Colby Baker, the canvas was a 2006 Honda Shadow 600 VLX.

Thanks for 100,000 orders!!

Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate. We have never given a damn about corporate milestones. The metric-obsessed, sterile, boardroom bullshit that most companies use to measure their worth—it has never been what we’re about, and it never will be.
