Brooklyn-bred DJ, producer, record collector, and Dubspot staff Emillio Largo (b.k.a. Dave Jones) is a true music lover and one without limits. E. Largo’s record collection is deep and spans a broad range; from straight up Caribbean music including reggae, dancehall, lovers rock, dub, soca, and calypso to classic American soul, hip hop, R&B, soulful house, disco and boogie to jazz and rock. All these seemingly disparate sounds influenced and helped shape his style. Some of Emillio Largo’s reggae influences can be heard on this Bob Marley birthday tribute mix he titled “The Dreadlock Marley”.
“I put this mix together on turntables with the intent of steering away from Bob’s more commercial tunes. I wanted to share more of his underground tunes from my collection.” - Emillio Largo
