Ring the alarm: from Stalag 17 to heaven! Tribute to Winston Riley!

Last friday the unfortunate news reached us that reggae producer Winston Riley died from the effects of a gunshot wound he received last year. He was in a coma since he was attacked and shot in the back of the head in November 2011. The musical legacy that Mr. Riley left behind is astonishing, making him one of the greatest reggae producers of all time. From starting the vocal group 'The Techniques' at 16 yrs old till setting up his own label 'Techniques' and beyond, he gave us countless classics and reggae and dancehall material. This week we pay tribute to his musical legacy with one hour of timeless 'Techniques' tracks! R.I.P. mr. Riley!
