100% Ska Podcast Episode 310 – Ska Trek vs Ska Wars

Your weekly dose of a ska DJ trying to emulate your favorite old college radio show. Always 100% ska, always mostly 100% vinyl, and always getting buzzed on Jamaican rum while recording! This week we’re bringing you a brand new single from the NYC Ska Orchestra with their massive 12″ single-worthy rendition of the original Star Trek theme with an interstellar upbeat sound, and of course closing out with Rico Rodriguez’s sun-drenched take on the Star Wars theme. In between, you’ll hear a review of the King Chango debut album finally getting its debut on vinyl after nearly 25 years, and new-ish music from Monkey, Napoleon Solo, and King Hammond, plus plenty more dancefloor stomping songs!
