CARIBBEAN FEVER IRIE JAMBOREE BRINGS MARLEY MAGIC TO NEW YORK !

Caribbean Fever Irie Jamboree Music Festival is North America's largest music festival featuring music from multiple genres exclusively from the Caribbean region. The festival will showcase a kaleidoscope of Caribbean musical luminaries headlined by reggae's current hottest performer, musical magician Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley.  
This explosive new musical celebration combines two previous hit concerts- Irie Jamboree and Caribbean Fever. The three day event takes place at the ultra luxurious Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York City August 30 to September 1 over the Labor Day Caribbean Carnival weekend.

The first night, August 30 shines the spotlight on Creole French music and will feature the internationally acclaimed zouk band Kassav from Guadeloupe and Martinique alongside Haitian hip hop star Wyclef Jean. Tabou Combo will also play on Friday, as will other stars from the Caribbean Francophone world.

On night two, 'Carnival Mania,' Saturday August 31, the soca sensations will sizzle. On the front burner will be Bunji Garlin, Fay-Ann Lyons, Edwin Yearwood, Alison Hinds and Iwer George.

Night three Sunday, September 1, 'Irie Jamboree' will be headlined by the newly crowned monarch of reggae Jr. Gong Marley in his first New York City post coronation performance. Irie Jamboree will be mystifying Marley magic as the new king welcomes New Yorkers to Jamrock. Other superstars on reggae Sunday night are Grammy winner Shabba Ranks, hit machines Capleton and I-Octane with more reggae acts to be announced before blastoff.

Things Are Getting Hectic for T. Williams!



The first half of this year has been hectic for T. Williams, to say the least, but having ensured his studio time throughout the London producer is now ready to drop his first original material of the year. The four track ‘Feelings Within’ EP is the follow-up to last year’s acclaimed ‘Pain & Love’ EP for PMR and succinctly showcases the evolution in Williams’ sound across its diverse spread.

EP opener ‘On My Own’ featuring homegrown talent TALA is a slinky, low slung house groove that pairs its expansive chords with the singer’s soulful vocals, delivering both a fresh club production and an emotive modern soul track. Up next, ‘Mobb’ hones its focus directly on the dance floor, drawing on Williams’ underground background with an incisive drum skip and huge slaps of bass that reverberate through the low end. For ‘Smile’ T is joined by Tendai, who he has worked with previously on ‘Think Of You’. Here her rich vocals are pinned to a sunkissed house track replete with a fluid groove, shimmering synths and an undeniable chorus. The EP is then completed by the sharp garage-inflected swing of ‘Three Letters’, a powerful club track with soaring diva vocals and infectiously layered riffs which perfectly temper the track’s bumping, swollen bassline.

Whether it’s his increasingly hectic international touring schedule, his recently finished weekly radio show on leading underground station Rinse FM or being brought into to remix a breadth of artists, from Lianne La Havas to Wretch 32, 2013 has been filled with exciting steps forward for T.Williams. Currently out in New York as a participant in the lauded Red Bull Music Academy and with his next US tour alongside label mates Disclosure looming, the new EP will undoubtedly prove to be a watershed moment in his career.

Tour Dates:

26th July - Secret Garden Party, Huntingdon, UK
1st August - Stop Making Sense Festival, Croatia
2nd August - Stop Making Sense Festival, Croatia
9th August - The Nest, London, UK
10th Boardmasters Festival, Newquay, UK
16th Beacons Festival, Skipton, UK

One Music Fest ft. Snoop Dogg



By:  by Michael Crowley

Hey you! Yeah you! Stop with all the questions about Snoop Dogg, Snoop Lion, Who’s lying… stop. Snoop Dogg is a bonafide living legend with one of the largest portfolio of hit songs dating back to the early 90′s. When Snoop performs… he takes you on a music journey from The Chronic, DoggyStyle, Deep Cover, his days with Pharrell to present. It’s a musical mind-trip like no other. Until you here Snoop perform, you almost forget how many classic songs this guy has actually produced. Below is a write up from one of Snoop’s pervious shows:

“……And the coolest part about catching Snoop in concert is the fact that he performs with a live band. Again, it would be very easy to spare that touring expense but performing with a band lends an element of spontaneity and energy that just can’t be duplicated by simply rapping over a series of pre-recorded beats. And make no mistake, there were people onstage spinning. But they meshed with the band nicely.

….Snoop’s band consisted of one DJ and two keyboard players as well as live players on both bass guitar and drums. Rounding out the stage ensemble was someone in a novelty dog costume (who at different points during the show brandished everything from oversized novelty joints to a gigantic phallic object), three scantily clad female dancers, several others on the mic and of course Snoop’s Uncle Junebug (who, might I add, may hold the best gig in live music as he basically wanders aimlessly around the stage drinking, smoking and nodding his head at attractive concertgoers he sees sitting close. He was eventually led offstage, towel draped across the shoulders in a fashion I think would’ve made James Brown proud. Hey, someone has to do it).

Snoop performed hits across his once unthinkable twenty year career delving especially deep into his 1993 solo debut Doggystyle. “Tha Shiznit” and “G-Funk” both came early (the latter featuring a cameo by The Lady of Rage herself Robin Allen preceding a performance of her 1994 hit “Afro Puffs”). But the crowd went craziest for “Who am I (What’s My Name?),” “Gin and Juice” and “Ain’t No Fun (If The Homies Can’t Have None).”

And Snoop played to the crowd as well as anyone I’ve seen. Striking a casual pose atop an amp, he serenaded the ladies of the front row with “Sensual Seduction,” reaching down to sign items for fans and holding hands with them as he sang. Following that, Snoop requested a moment of silence for “this small chronic break” before teaming up with the aforementioned Rage.
Throughout the hour set, Snoop reminded fans just how many hits he’s had dabbling briefly in his portion of Dr. Dre collaborations like ”Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” and “The Next Episode.”
“P.I.M.P.,” “Snoop’s Upside Ya Head,” “Young, Wild and Free” and “Drop it Like it’s Hot” all followed. But it was “Drop it Like it’s Hot” that took best in show. The Neptunes production values combined with the live keyboards to really steal the show musically. The keyboards just sounded fantastic and the song had all the Snoop swagger…”
