100% Ska Podcast: Recent Episodes
DJ Ryan Midnight
DJ Ryan Midnight hosts the weekly all-vinyl podcast 100% Ska, playing a selection of cuts across the genre’s spectrum and history. You’ll hear an emphasis on current ska bands carrying the checkered banner including plenty of new releases, along with 2-Tone era and 3rd Wave classics and rarities, original Jamaican 60s and everything in between. Some episodes will feature interviews with bands, with the rare episode segueing into Ryan’s non-ska guilty pleasures. When not hosting the podcast, Ryan Midnight can be found livestreaming ska sets, spinning locally in NYC, supporting live musicians, and producing the Subway to Skaville series.
Well, we just had an earthquake, and we’re about to have an eclipse. How about some good ol’ ska music to distract us and dance along?
Tonight we’ve got a heaping of traditional-inspired tunes – including several fantastic instrumentals – plus some 80s ska styling, and a block of new-ish “digital only” released music!
Let’s play on and see what catches your ear!
