Ska N Mash

Ska N Mash DJ specialising in ska, reggae, 2-tone, motown, soul, mod, indie, punk. Full DJ set up, PAT & PLI. DJ Ska N Mash is a selector based in the Essex area.

Supporting bands, as sole DJ and promoting events. The range of music is strongly based on retro sounds including traditional reggae and ska, notably Trojan, Island, Greensleeves, Studio One, Tighten Up labels. This is coupled with a keen interest in the 2-tone scene as well as 3rd wave productions. Such a scene brings in plenty of other influences including dubwise, motown, northern soul, mod, in

die & punk. As a dj I'm always on the lookout for new material, covers and remixes and quite often I'm offered dj exclusives which are only available in digital form. My other love are the mash-up releases and themed nights which might encompass rock, 70s/80s/90s disco, St Patricks, Burns, St Georges, Halloween, Christmas etc. My other love are themed nights which might encompass rock, 70s/80s/90s disco, St Patricks, Burns, St Georges, Halloween, Christmas etc. I've had the privilege to provide DJ support to many acts, including UB40, The Dualers, ASWAD, The Slackers, Bad Manners, The Beat, The Selecter, Neville Staple, Gentleman's Dub Club, Maxi Priest, Soul II Soul, Sister Sledge, Level 42, Human League, Status Quo, Ocean Colour Scene, Scouting For Girls, Stiff Little Fingers and alongside David Rodigan.
