Meltdown Show on Reserve Radio and introductory video:Click HERE.

We’d like to introduce you to Joey Altruda and his Vinyl Meltdown show on
Reserve Radio. Joey’s been a fixture in the Los Angeles music scene for
about 28 years. He first made his mark in the early 80s with post punk band
Tupelo Chain Sex, then later with Jump With Joey, in which his blend of
traditional Jamaican Ska and Afro-Cuban rhythms lead him to the forefront
of the third wave Ska movement. His 1995 release of “Cocktails with Joey”
also set the pace for the lounge music revival incorporating the exotic
sound stylings of Les Baxter, Esquivel and Henry Mancini with Ennio
Morricone and Tito Puente. Besides being an accomplished composer and
arranger, he is also the proprietor of the longest running recording studio
in Los Angeles, first opened in about 1936, now known only as “Joeys Place”.
