You have a reggae-loving friend and are looking for a nice Christmas present for him/her? Here we go: Two days ago, we presented a list with our top 5 books dealing with Jamaican (popular) culture – today, we look at our favourite T-shirts inspired by reggae and dancehall of the year:
SEEN. – Mad Cobra
Of course, we like what we did ourselves. Even though some shirts have sold out in some sizes in the meantime, the shirts of the seen. 2010 T-shirt collection are still available in our web shop and you can save 40% on your orders and enjoy free worldwide shipping throughout the whole pre-Christmas season. Get them while they last!
Stussy Deluxe x Al Fingers x Greensleeves – Eek-A-Mouse
Legendary US streetwear brand Stussy teamed up with Al Fingers and Greensleeves not only to compile a book with the first 100 covers of the label but to release a collection of tees. It is quite hard to pick a favourite as all of them feature nice Greensleeves cover artworks – but we especially dig the Eek-A-Mouse and the black logo shirt.

After »Buckup« has been on available via name your own price on Bandcamp for one week now, tomorrow will see the official release of Wildlife!‘s new EP featuring reggae artists Major Mackerel, Sammy Dread and Terry Lynn on the microphone.
As we really like the concept of each of these artists representing one decade in dancehall music, we linked up with Wildlife! aka Samuel Riot to chat about his memories of and thoughts about dancehall music in the 80s, the 90s and in the present – as well as about some other stories behind the »Buckup« project:
Could you please sum up what these three decades – the 80s, the 90s and the present – mean for you personally (regarding to dancehall)?
I got into dancehall in the early nineties, so this particular era will always remain very special to me. Artists like Ninja Man, Cobra, Buju, Johnny P or Beenie & Bounty were the ones that got me going as a youngster. It was a friend of mine who would send me soundsystem tapes from New York that really got me into soundsystem culture, so the whole 90′s New York scene also was a huge influence. Sounds like Massive B, Afrique, LP or King Addies and artists like Supercat, Shinehead, Rayvon, Mackerel or Sluggy were my heroes.
