Dionne Reid - Sunday Live & Direct at YouTube ❤️ �� ��

Dionne Reid, a vibrant songstress and gifted writer of Jamaican decent by way of Peckham; first encountered her love for singing randomly when her frustrations got the better of her. She would sing it all away, that led her to open mic nights and being recognised by tastemakers; BBC 1Xtra, Fearne Cotton and Huw Stephen and festival stages such as Glastonbury and Wireless. Her authenticity and organic musical experiences allow her to share her music freely and openly. Her rich tone, charismatic stage presence and connection with her art is intrinsic to her core in delivering something impactful. 


Having immersed herself with her musical influences; Lauryn Hill and Bob Marley it’s no wonder Dionne's sound is an eclectic fusion of acoustic Soul, Reggae and R'N'B. Her last release SMILE (Seek Meaning In Life Experiences) saw her on the BBC Radio 1 Artist Of The Week. 

Thereafter Dionne took a hiatus to work on herself, new music as well as engage in community activities to help push a positive message. The titled mixtape 'Soundcheck' is an ode to her grind; a mixture of classic Reggae cuts soaked in her own originality and flare.

Sandra Cross - I Adore You Live & Direct at YouTube ❤️ �� ��

Sandra Cross is the only girl among seven brothers. She started singing in the Pentecostal Church and led the choir when she was nine. At 14, she recorded with a friend as Love & Unity. Their recording was the first prize for winning a talent show with a song Cross wrote entitled "I Adore You." Released on Studio 76 Records, it was number one on Britain's reggae chart for four straight weeks in 1979; They followed with three Top Five hits: "I Just Don't Care," "I Can't Let You Go," and "Put It On," before splitting up. After the breakup, Cross wanted to go solo but met the Mad Professor, a producer, who owned Ariwa Records. He chose Cross for an all-girl band called the Wild Bunch, whose lone album entered the reggae Top 20 chart in 1984; they toured Europe for a year before disbanding. Cross' first solo release was a remake of the Stylistics' "Country Living," which aced British Chart for ten straight weeks in 1985. Her second solo attempt, "You're Lying," nested at the top spot four weeks, Ariwa released her debut solo album Country Living in 1986. She won the British Reggae Awards for the Best Female Singer six consecutive years in a row, from 1985 to 1991. Other awards included the Radio London Entertainment Celebrity Award in 1986. In 1989, she snagged The Voice Newspaper Music Awards as Best Reggae Female Artist, and won the Chicago Radio Awards for the Highest Selling Record in 1990. Ariwa released six albums on Cross' including The Wild Bunch LP; in 1992 she recorded Lovers Interlude, on Teichiku Records. In 1996, she recorded her first reggae/jazz album, Just a Dream, on Pioneer Records, a Japanese label like Teichiku.

Sir Coxsone Outernational Exclusive Interview at #YouTube

Sir Coxsone Outernational Exclusive Interview at #YouTube
{31July 2015}
Lloyd Coxsone & father festus Celebrating 50 years of when they started Sir Coxsone outernational. This Exclusive content contains Lloyd Coxsone & father festus @ YouTube studios talking about the history of sir coxsone.
Sir Coxsone Outernational has long been an important part of Britain’s soundsystem culture.

In its heyday of the 70s and 80s, the sound retained an insurmountable edge, thanks to the unbeatable tag-team of proprietor Lloydie Coxsone and his star selector, Festus, and an ever-changing crew of supporting members that kept the sound perpetually fresh and innovative. With an endless supply of superior dubplates sourced from top producers in Jamaica, augmented by some of their own productions cut with high-ranking music makers in the UK, Sir Coxsone was undeniably top of Britain’s sound system circuit. Their superior selection and the manner in which they presented it to the public gave Coxsone the kind of credibility that most other sounds were never able to achieve, leading to longstanding residencies at nightclubs in the fashionable West End.

Jah Shaka vs Saxon Studio Leeds 1986 

Jah Shaka started out on the Freddie Cloudburst Sound System as an operator, before setting up his own sound system.By the late 1970s Shaka's system had rapidly gained a large and loyal following due to the combination of spiritual content, high energy rhythms, massive sonority, and his dynamic personal style. That following notably included many of the pioneers of post-punk such as Public Image Ltd and The Slits.

Little Roy - Tribal War Live & Direct at #YouTube

‪#‎Original‬ ‪#‎Foundation

Little Roy - Tribal War Live & Direct at #YouTube

Little Roy, born Earl Lowe in Kingston, was the first artist to top the Jamaican chart with an overtly Rasta tune – Bongo Nyah – in 1969. His songs have been versioned repeatedly through the dancehall era – his Tribal War was even used on Nas and Damian Marley’s Distant Relatives album – but he has yet to crash the mainstream himself.

Roy appeared on both Fatty’s albums and, with hindsight, it’s easy to see why Mr Pelanconi chose him for this project. In addition to his obvious talents his voice has a similar grain to that of Kurt Cobain.

His bleak life and lyrics aside, Cobain’s songwriting gave an uplifting quality to Nirvana’s music. And this quality translates perfectly to a series of sprightly vintage rhythms played by Ruff Cutt band's Bubblers, The Wailers’ Junior Marvin, Fatty mainstay Horseman and Leroy ‘Mafia’ Heywood – a central force behind Roy’s excellent previous album, Heat. The arrangements, though actually by Mutant Hi-Fi, are classic Fatty: swirling organs, softly parping horns, and Ark-era Lee Perry-style backing vocals.

Many Thanks to Earl 'Little Roy' Lowe & Bo Mac also my Production Team.

Respect in every Aspect.

Asher Senator - Music Life Live & Direct at #YouTube

Asher Senator - Music Life Live & Direct at #YouTube

He started deejaying at the age of 14 at house parties and then on the Buchanan Sound System along with his sparring partner Smiley Culture. Together they went on to deejay on sounds such as Black Harmony and Frontline before joining Coxsone Outernational and most famously Saxon Studio International in the early to mid 80's.

Asher Senators inspiration as a deejay came from deejays such as Brigadier Jerry and Nicodemus who they often heard through sound tapes. His first single was »Abbreviation Qualification« b/w »Fast Style Origination« released on Fashion in 1984. It was voiced and mixed at the A-Class Dub Studio that was located underDub Vendor at Lavender Hill. »Fast Style Origination« told the tale of the Fast Chat style originated by fellow Saxon deejay Peter King.

This style of deejaying was an English, groundbreaking and new way of deejaying that soon (with the help of Papa Levi) came to rule even the charts of Jamaica.

General Levy's first major releases were with the independent record label, Fashion Records, who signed a distribution deal with London Records for the re-releases of the tracks he had recorded. He had earlier releases with the record producers Lloydy Crucial and Robbo Ranx (later of BBC 1xtra), but these were mainly tracks that were hits on the underground dancehall scene. General Levy was ostracized by the UK jungle scene in 1994, due to comments he made relating to his collaboration with M-Beat on "Incredible".
