It was a brilliant, sunny day in Brussels today. Somewhere inside my head, a tiny man awoke from wintry slumber, stretched himself with a happy grin and shouted "SHABBA!".
(Don't worry, I never let that man out in public.)
Time to put on some reggae vybez.
Luckily, DJ Takeover just dropped a massive mixtape of classics, hard-to-finds and current revamps of those two combined.
Press play for a toke: Shelly Thunder with "Kuff", a romantic tale of women who catch their men cheating and hit them with a frying pan. Kuff!
