S07E06 – Spotlight on Festivals and Touring Bands
On this episode we take a look at two big 2024 festivals – Supernova Ska Festival and Croydon Fest 5 – plus highlight bands that are out touring this spring!
DJ Ryan Midnight
Based in the metro NYC area, DJ Ryan Midnight can be found spinning ska in all its forms, rocksteady, and boss reggae locally in bars on dedicated DJ nights, supporting live ska and punk bands whenever the need to get the dance floor jumping comes calling, and hosting shows! Check out upcoming events where you can catch me next!
Please get in touch for booking availability in the NYC area at any venue with a dedicated turntable setup, for DJ nights or to support a show!
100% Ska Podcast
I host the weekly-ish almost all-vinyl podcast 100% Ska (Episode Archive), currently in its 7th year of production! You’ll hear a wide mix of what the genre has to offer from around the world and across the spectrum of time with an emphasis on more current releases. One-off podcast episodes may diverge to highlight my love of 70s / 80s punk, new wave, and other oddities from time to time.
On the social media side of things, you can follow the podcast Facebook page and subscribe on most podcast platforms!
