He’s a 1950s con man! He’s a greasy lover! Etc etc. Apologies to non-UK forum members, but these are catchphrases you would immediately associate with the name Mark Lamarr. Aside from being a 1990s celebrity, the guy is a serious DJ and crate digger. Which is a long-winded way of saying he’s suddenly appeared on Twitter and is using his profile to share banger after banger. Check it: www.twitter.com/lamarr_markAmong the tunes he’s shared so far, which I hadn’t heard previously but now love, is this absolute Jamaican classic:

Nice one for flagging this. Was always a bit disappointed that he just kinda disappeared. His radio show was great and he used to always compere the saturday night in one of the small tents at Latitude and had some awesome acts play.

Back in t'day (early 2000's) i'd see him on occasion in record shops on Berwick Street and the big HMV on Oxford Street.
I was obviously buying Electric Soft Parade & The Music CD's, but he'd be digging away in the 7" singles, like some old timer cunt.

Some more TUNES (that I had never heard before) that Mr Lamarr kindly flagged them up.
How about this infectious reggae classic from the legendary Studio One label
Or this rap banger from 2000. Amazed I'd never heard this until now.
