Peter Runks Teams Up With DJ Pauze For Unique New Album!

Reggae artist Peter Runks has teamed up with one of the best reggae DJs out of the UK - DJ Pauze for a new album.

For the album Peter Runks is turning some of Pauze’s poems into songs. The artist and DJ are combining their creative forces in this unique and unheard of collaborative project. Says Runks, “The poems DJ Pauze has written inspire me. They are uplifting and come from real life experiences.”

The DJ, known for PauzeRadio and the Unique Reggae Mix Show, has been a big supported of Runks’ since Runks’ hit single “Badness Outta Style” in 2008. He helped to get the song in even higher international rotation. The two have continued to connect online to share ideas and views about music and life. Their shared love for reggae music and similar vibe eventually led to the decision to collaborate. 

This new project will be the first time Runks will sing songs written by someone else but their mutual respect allows for creative freedom and adjustments. Runks and Pauze, “an excellent writer and poet,” have written 15 songs within a two week period and are still continuing to pour out new material. They will select only the best to be composed into an album which they plan to release in the summer of 2013. A few singles and music videos most likely will be released prior to the album. 

The Bahamas/ UK connection will undoubtedly create a very special and unique reggae album, blending musical influences, cultures and experiences but all based on the same values. Runks explains, “Pauze writes real life experiences just like I do, so I can relate. We are all human, no matter which part of the world we are from. We feel the same pain. This is a natural link up because both of us are passionate about what we do. We can network like this to create vibes to reach out and touch the world. Bahamas and London unite.”

Peter Runks and DJ Pauze truly embrace the spirit of reggae by sharing their powerful poetry and music about life, struggles, love and unity.

Ricardo Clarke Returns With New Single and Album

Reggae artist Ricardo Clarke is back with a brand new album and a new single with “Don’t Count Me Out.” The album(Uprising Vol 3: Don't Count Me Out" will be released digitally on 3-13-13, followed by the release in stores on April 9th 2013.

Ricardo Clarke burst on the international scene in 2009 with “Not Settling” and has followed up with a lot of great reggae music. Amongst other awards, Clarke won Recording of the Year at the prestigious Caribbean Gospel Music Marlin Awards, a show that has been in existence for 14 years. 

Recently, Clarke has been working with reggae labels and producers in London, UK, such as Lockdown Productions and Tippie Irie, who featured Clarke on two albums released in 2012. French labels Dub Akom Flash Hit Records and Rise and Shine Band released five albums featuring Clarke.

Clarke, who has shared stages with major acts such as Beres Hammond, Tarrus Riley and Grammy award winner Kierra "KiKi" Sheard, is invested in his community. His willingness to deposit into the lives of young people led him to create the "Wasting No Time" School Campaign, which encouraged all to "never settle" in academics and reinforced the importance of using time wisely in school. So far, the campaign has reached over 50 schools throughout the Bahamas, affecting the lives of 15,000 students and Clarke is determined to continue his efforts.

The artiste is a sought after speaker at schools, colleges, conferences and workshops and has been involved in numerous philanthropic and charitable efforts, namely the fight against breast cancer, with his support of the Bahamian organization Sister/Sister Breast Cancer Support Group.
