Ska (/skɑː/; Jamaican: [skjæ]) is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae .Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the off-beat. Ska developed in Jamaica in the 1960s when Prince Buster, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, and Duke Reid formed sound systems to play American rhythm and blues and then began recording their own songs. In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant music genre of Jamaica and was popular with British mods. Later it became popular with many skinheads.

The bands:

EARLY BUS was formed in 2007 in Beijing by four young punks. As time went on the band has developed deep insights of Jamaican music, the boys now have more focus on making more authentic and original Jamaican tunes and spirits out from the messages in their music, genres fused with Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae. Their approach to music is tuning up for the beauty of the world we are living, singing freedom and passion through the legendary upbeats, “just like how much the sun, air and water are essential for living things, peace, love and understanding are so vital to our life” the band says the pump of heart in their music.

The Flip Side are Beijing’s only live disco band. Bring your boogie shoes and come prepared to freak out, shake your booty, get jiggy with it and celebrate good times.

Disco is a music genre and subculture that emerged in the mid 1960s and early 1970s from America's urban nightlife scene. It reached peak popularity between the mid-1970s and early 1980s. Disco started as a mélange of music from venues popular with African Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans, Italian Americans, LGBT people (especially African-American and white gay men), and psychedelic hippies in Philadelphia and New York City during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Disco can be seen as a reaction to both the dominance of rock music and the stigmatization of dance music by the counterculture during this period. Several dance styles were also developed during this time, including the Bump and the Hustle.

Ft. band：BOSS CUTS

中華有冲浪！与Boss Cuts乐队一同驾驭疯狂。
由吉他手 Slime Squidish、贝斯手 Liane，萨克斯风手 Marshall以及鼓手 Maggot Freddy构成的四人组合，复活了黄金摇滚年代的纯器乐冲浪之声，并把这种传遍了京城各大现场音乐热点之中。现在，就请揭掉你防晒用的面具，让飘散在雾霾之上的紫外线从皮肤径直照射进你我灵魂，手挽手大跳希米舞步和土豆泥舞，与瓦图西族共同扭动腰肢。试想一下，当Dick Dale与The Centurians遇到过载的吉他混响后和懒散性感的铜管乐，世界，将变得多么美好。

Indiago is Will Solomon (Lead Vocals/Guitar), Shane Cox (Bass/Vocals), Harry Townsend (Guitar), Matt Cooper (Drums)

Residing in the picturesque Adelaide Hills in South Australia, Indiagohave one of the biggest and most unique Alternative Rock sounds in the country. Their crazy, but perfected live shows have earned a name for themselves, giving the four young lads a fan base that continues to spread nationwide.

They’ve smashed shows at Handpicked Festival, RedBull Jam, and even Adelaide’s own Royal Show, sharing the stage with the likes of The Getaway Plan, Birds Of Tokyo, Dan Sultan, Shannon Noll, FUEL, Timberwolf, Bad//Dreems, and many more.

."...they capture the attention of every person in the room and hold it for the full duration of the set, if you haven’t seen these boys live put it on your bucket list." Brett Pike - The Bakehouse

Drawing influences from the likes of Foo Fighters, Kings Of Leon and Gang Of Youths, Indiago’s distinctive style of huge guitar tones, thrashing drums, and soaring, gritty vocals pushes the boundaries of old syle Rock ‘N’ Roll.

"...alternative rock that draws on what came before and pushes the boundaries with regards to complexity." - thedailyalbum.com

Off the back of their Independent release "Loose Change" last year, the new track “Gusto” is a testament to the complexity and diversity of the young band's songwriting.

After heading back to their Adelaide Hills-based studio, managed by new addition to the band, Matt Cooper, the four young lads have emerged with one of their most uplifting and soulful songs to date.

Mastered by Tony ‘Jack The Bear’ Mantz。
