Billed as “ their first time in Skateland”, here we have the new sound on the block Volcano playing at probably the islands top dancehall venue.
The promoter for this dance, policeman Isiah Laing, knows his music and the crowds surely flocked there.
Deejay Fire Melody and singer Winston Hussey handle the early warm up duties before the Volcano’s “big” name artists appear in the music room.
Top selector “Commissioner” Danny Dread has an array of Junjo dubplates to play with and he spins selections from the likes of John Holt, Al Campbell, Barry Brown and Scion Success. Scion was a new singer that Junjo had voiced, but he never got the recognition he deserved at this time as the dubplates were all wrongly credited to Sammy Levi and of course there was Junjo’s monster creation, the “Diseases” riddim. Deejays can’t fail on this and Shadowman with “Volcano Diseases”,
Toyan with “Me Name Papa Toyan” and Peter Metro with his salute to the boss on “Junjo Wha’ Mek Yu Bad So?”, all ride this classic eighties rhythm.
A great session and a sign of things to come.”
