E. 3 & 4th St. F-Train to 2nd Ave. ADM: $10 Selector TONY SCREW - DOWNBEAT THE RULER (originally called Downbeat International) has proved to be the most enduring sound. Founded in the seventies by selector Tony Screw, Downbeat rapidly became not only a regional force, but one that could compete with the strongest sounds from Jamaica. Downbeat maintains what is quite possibly the deepest, heaviest collection of exclusive foundation dubplates in the world, a record box only rivaled by a small handful of other long-established sounds.
Alongside - JAH FINGERS- Selector TOP CAT - Early Juggeli'n by ROCK OF GIBRALTAR- Selector PETER ROOTS.
