David Rodigan showcases his love for all types of reggae music in a new ten-part series for Radio 2. With an hour of classic roots and reggae music from the 60s to the present day, Rodigan celebrates reggae's back catalogue and looks to its future.

This week, Silly Games by Janet Kay is a British lovers rock anthem, and you can hear it again with Rodigan, alongside 60s Jamaican beach music from John Holt and The Paragons, and roots-rock-reggae anthems by Burning Spear and Dennis Brown. Big bass lines, rocksteady rim shots, glorious harmonies and sweet rhythms on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2.
