100% Ska Podcast S04E19 – Spotlight on Aloe Vera Records and Summer of Ska Preview

Your weekly dose of a DJ trying to emulate your favorite old college radio ska show. Always 100% ska, almost always 100% vinyl, and always getting buzzed on Jamaican rum while recording! This week we take a listen to some of the recent releases from Italian label Aloe Vera Records (check out their releases via Bandcamp!) and get into some nice and mellow tunes to get you in a relaxing state of mind as we approach 2021’s summer of ska, and the return to something resembling normalcy!
