Blogariddims Terminus: Five Fevers in Six Minutes

After more than two years and 50 varied and excellent episodes, the collaborative mix/podcast project Blogariddims is wrapped up today with the final episode, Terminus.

Like the whole series, this mix is a joint effort, comprised of eleven minimixes contributed by ourselves, Paul Autonomic, John Eden, Paul Meme aka Grievous Angel, Matt B, The Rambler, Wayne&Wax, Droid, Nick Gutterbreakz, Halvard Halvorsen and DJ Flack:

Our six minute selection is a tribute to one of my all time favourite reggae rhythms, Fever, first recorded by Horace Andy (pictured below) for Studio One in the 60s and versioned x-amount of times since.

The cuts featured here come from Horace Andy (Fever), Chronicle (Sexy Girls), Cobra (Love Fever), Flourgon (Bad Boy Tune) and Sugar Minott (Can't Stop Love It):

Our three previous podcasts for the series, An England Story, La Ola De Calor and Roots, Reality & Culture have been downloaded an astonishing 30,000 times between them and will continue to be available online, and of course An England Story came out as an official compilation on Soul Jazz Records earlier this year.

Massive thanks to Droid and everyone else involved in Blogariddims for putting together such an interesting and consistently high quality sequence of mixes. Before it ends though, check out the next six minute section from Halvard Halvorsen to wind up the story...
