Aswad’s 40th Anniversary and an interview with Natty take centre stage in the reggae section of this issue. The subject of this month’s Vibes column is a tribute to DJ Derek from Bristol, who was reported missing in July 2015 and was sadly found dead some eight months later.  

April’s Reggae Album Of The Month is Chronixx & Federation Sound’s Roots And Chalice Mix Tape. I also review new albums by Assassin, Jamaica All Stars and Morgan Heritage, whilst Run The Track includes latest singles by Chronixx & Eesah, Kabaka Pyramid, Jahmiel, Christopher Martin, Raging Fyah, Jah9 and Omari Banks.
