Jacky Murda Outlook Festival Mix

Starting as bedroom dj and amateur soundman since way way back, Jacky professionally entered the scene and opened up shop as Chopstick Dubplate, voicing and cutting dubplates with his custom Scully-Westrex lathe in 1998, and in 2000 started releasing 10″ records that were recorded, mixed, and cut , all in house. Jacky’s first label, King Kong Sound, released a couple seminal black-label jungle 10inches by Krinjah and Murda. Around ’99 Jacky started developing a different idea for jungle music : recording original vocals on jungle riddims instead of sampling. The Chopstick Dubplate label was brought out, marking the start of the New-School Ragga-Jungle movement. Many well known Jamaican artists were enlisted in the recording of the debut full-length “21 Murda Shots”, released in 2003, and 10inch releases featuring many of these songs were released over the next few years.
