Music. Various Artists – Dread & Alive’s The Lost Tapes v6 (Soul of the Lion)

The rock infused sound of Rootz Underground and the minimalist arrangement by Bushman and Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith capture a quintessential reggae vibe. Artists like Kehv, Melodic and Wio K as well as Taddy P and Tanya Stephens, bring distinct elements of seductive soul, pop, R&B and Hip Hop while never abandoning their reggae roots.

Video. Melodic – “Ride On Natty” (Nu Day)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vCEDWXXSrc

The message in the music is what makes Melodic ‘ride on’. On behalf of all people down on their luck, “Ride On Natty” is Melodic’s motivation, simple and soulful, honest and lighthearted at the same time. Drawing on his Jamaican heritage as well as the popular urban beats he heard in both his adopted New York City or native Canada, Melodic could ride this song forever and it will never get old.

Event. May 13-June 18. Jahdan Blakkamoore Argentina Tour

Reggae. Dubstep. Hip Hop. Dancehall. Electronic. Soul. Jahdan Blakkamoore covers more musical ground than a ‘best of’ compilation. And it comes naturally.

Born in Guyana, grown in New York City and bred on a steady diet of hit-making, genre-busting producers, Jahdan Blakkamoore has been pushing the limits of the music since the word ‘go’. And now he is pushing off to Argentina for a month or more of clubs, festivals and multi-media events. However, if Argentina is not in your plans, not to worry, because Jahdan is bound to find new musical boundaries to break before reassembling them for us in his own way.

New/notable releases from Jahdan Blakkamoore include Babylon Nightmare and Remix EP (Lustre Kings), “Quick Money” (DJ Theory), Buzzrock Warrior (Gold Dust), Take Charge (w Noble Society)

Argentina dates…

FRI 13 MAY – RADIO SHOW LA DE DIOS @ FM ROCK&POP (PRESS) 12am-3am

WED 18 May – Press Conference /// Blakkamoore Acoustic Show with Lucas Masllorens Rodhes and Guitar @ La Cigalle
