Reggae Mixtapes
DJ Wade first appeared on the airwaves bringing sizzling Jamaican music to tepid St. Louis. With a weekly radio show on KWUR 90.3FM, he offered a brave and nuanced collection of reggae, ska, dancehall, rocksteady, dub and roots records. Having toured the US for two years with Isaac Green and the Skalars, DJ Wade amassed an impressive archive of set lists and recordings, DJing clubs in every state as he crawled cross-country.
Recently, a secret box of old tapes was unearthed in his folks' New Jersey garage, and are now available as podcasts. With the growing popularity of vintage Wade and over 500,000 downloads, new episodes are here. In the meantime, fans can get their fix of DJ Wade's more recent twist on reggae with original music from WonderSound JA.

DJ Wade TapeCast with Jase - (January 2010)
Last year, Jase won an ebay auction for 100 reggae cassette tapes from the 1990's. When the tapes arrived we decided to hook up a dual cassette deck to a DJ mixer and make a mix tape of 'mixed tapes' and call it a TapeCast. This is the result. The term "REWIND" takes on a whole new meaning... Mix features Johnny P, Beanie Man, Spragga Benz, General Degree, Lady Saw, Carl Meeks, Tenor Saw and more. (tracklist)
