Jamelody - Love Crazy

"Love Crazy," by Jamelody, is the definition of a love anthem.  This was the first single release from his 2008 album, Be Prepared.  The music video is equally as beautiful as the actual song.  I believe that this song is already a reggae classic because it celebrates love, family and perseverance.  Now that I think about it, this song is a classic... PERIOD.

See for yourself by watching the video or listening to it in my latest dj mix set, Reggae Regiment.

Enjoy!

Sweet Corn Riddim (Pure Music, 2011)

The other day, someone asked me what I music keep in rotation when I am in the car.  I can safely say, that the Sweet Corn Riddim has been in my CD player for the last two years.

Enjoy!

It is a bouncy roots riddim by Pure Music with a bubbly bass line featuring some of my favorite artists like Delly Ranks, Wayne Wonder, Chevaughn, Froggy Maddsquad.  I've played songs from this catalogue at countless parties of various genres and I've received positive feedback every time.  In fact, you can listen to if on my latest mix show, Reggae Regiment.

Enjoy!

Reggae Regiment: My Latest DJ Mix Series

I cannot tell you how many emails, texts, tweets and other messages I've received in the past year about when I was going to post my reggae sets.  Also, I was recently at a party and someone tried to play me as if I weren't representing "di real roots and culture" simply because I had not posted a roots/lover's rock mix.  Well long story short, I present Reggae Regiment, recorded from the live sets that I perform for DJ Lantan's internet radio show (big up a mi UK link deh).

Featuring music by Queen I-frica, Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, Fiji, Luciano, Sizzla and many more, Reggae Regiment is full of positive vibes and reggae groves.

Enjoy!

Reggae Regiment: Live Session 1 by Dj Red-I on Mixcloud

Red Brick Riddim (January 2013) Kanambo Music

2013 started with a bang with the release of many hot new riddims like Raw Cash Riddim, Invasion Riddim, Jupiter Riddim and many more.  That said, the one that stood out to me the most was the Red Brick Riddim, released by Kanambo Music.  It's a bouncy yet straight-forward riddim...  aka dancehall at its best.  Featuring tunes by Konshens, Beenie Man, DeMarco, Bugle, Zamunda, Munga and Kanambo, the Red Brick Riddim is packed with big-name artists.

Check out this Red Brick Riddim Mix or Reggae Nite: Live Session 1.

Enjoy!

"BACK WAY" BY CHAM

Cham (Baby Cham), in my opinion, has been on a roll since 2012.  Stringing together dancehall bangers like Wine (School Bag Riddim), Tun Up and Back Way.  Most mainstream listeners know him for his 2006 crossover hit, "Ghetto Story" but true dancehall fans, including Yours Truly, are aware Cham's hard-hitting delivery that can ride any riddim.

Check out his video for "Back Way" Reggae Nite: Live Session 1 or SANCTUARY: Live Set 4/6/2013.

Enjoy!

About a year ago I linked up with DJ Lantan, a London-based DJ and vocalist, and began doing featured DJ sets for his internet radio show.  We got such positive international feedback from listeners, I decided to archive the sets by posting them on my Mixcloud.
