motherwell 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I think I know the difference, but i doubt whether all the punters do. I'm getting confused myself!!!! :dan: Can someone else give me a clear difference!!!! two tone was a record label from the late 70's that included groups such as the beat, madness, specials, selecter, there was an element of ska in their music and many of the 60's jamacian ska stars were in these groups. ska originatedcin the 60's and was the beginnings of reggae it included harry j and the all stars, prince buster and songs like skinhead moonstomp, 007,liquidator etc. It did have a big skinhead following in the UK (so get you boots on your feet and give me some of that old moonstomping). keith Link to post Share on other sites
supersound dj 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Ska music was originated in the late 50s in Jamaica which incorperated rocksteady beat and reggae. Includes Lord Tanamo - Im in the mood for ska desmond dekka ect. Two Tone originated in the late 70s and early 80s ,it was a mix of punk rock ska and rocksteady. madnes ,specilas ,selector ect.

Norfolk DJ 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hmm thats my thought as well, but I think the punters are getting both of these muddled. Safer to ask for specific requests i think. Link to post Share on other sites
supersound dj 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I used to run ska and reggae nights and all of the above will suffice. there are some great skaa mixes on the mastermix party animals discs called the sound of ska 1, 2 ,and 3. DMC did a great 2 tone mix too. hope this helps Paul Link to post Share on other sites
DJ Marky Marc 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Another big label was Trojan , if you have Itunes they are celebrating 40 years of trojan and ska, 40 tracks for less than £10 <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites
Dukesy 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Don't forget Bluebeat! Here's a good thread to re-visit, and this one too! I've been in to the Dualers for a while. Worth a look up. They sound as good live too. 8oFwfZBY1r8 hLmvOEcNZ7w&hl MzDwF7GfYvs&hl Link to post Share on other sites
