It's a parallel to what The Clash and Letts did in the late 70s—pulling Jamaican soundsystem culture into punk/post‑punk spaces—only here it’s Letts’ orbit helping carry classic 80s Jamaican dub into 2000s‑and‑beyond dance and bass culture.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
