Reggae Magic celebrates the musical genius of Jackie Mittoo, a central figure in reggae and the architect of the Studio One sound. This collection brings together rare gems and classics recorded between 1967 and 1974, a period when Mittoo perfected a unique style blending reggae, funk, soul, and rocksteady. The founder of the legendary Skatalites at 16, and later leader of the Soul Brothers, Soul Vendors, and Sound Dimension, Mittoo shaped rhythms that became the foundation of dub, dancehall, and deejay style. His instrumentals – such as Real Rock, Hot Milk, and Drum Song – have been covered, sampled, and reimagined by artists from all walks of life, from The Clash to Lily Allen, Beyoncé, and Damian Marley. An essential album for reggae and timeless groove enthusiasts, featuring tracks like Ghetto Organ, Toronto Express, Soul Stew, and Sure Soul.
