♥ ♥ ♥ Funk + Soul + Disco House = Stash House

Greetings!
 
The subject line says it all when it comes
to the house group Stash House:  Funk +
Soul + Disco House = Stash House.
 
One more quote that sums up the group
nicely is 'the math is basic but the groove
is timeless.'
 
Catering to an audience in true appreciation
of the beauty and vibe of their music, Stash
House offers deep grooves that fans will love.
Mixed format radio shows will especially
like the 'stash sound,' as will live DJ's who
select for raves around the world!
 
Today's download features five minutes of a
trumpet in 'mute' mode, and a females vocals
saying 'take me higher / high high high.'  All
this accented by a motivational hand clap,
synthesizer and active drum beat which make
for non-stop movement on the dance floor!

and the chune "Take Me Higher" here:

♠ Nicko Rebel Music Presents: ♠ Kali Blaxx - Mama Teachings!

Greetings!
 
Nicko Rebel, the producer from Florida,
and the man responsible for Shaka Pow's
chune "Life" is back with another production
that I know you and your listeners will appreciate!
 
Working with Kali Blaxx from Jamaica,
Nicko releases the chune "Mama Teachings"
which I predict will be a radio and mixed
tape hit!
 
Built to a smooth piano based riddim with
accents of acoustic guitar and subtle drum
pattern, Nicko creates a canvass for Kali
and his lyrics to shine.
 
Kali describes one of Mama's golden rules
which is to not keep bad company.  He also
goes on to sing:  "blessed is the child who
has his own / me nah no time fih waste mih
ah go fih my own / I ah walk pon a straight
path / with Jah deh by my side an love inna
mih heart / mih caan figet Mama teachings ..."
 
Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Nicko Rebel
with Kali Blaxx and the chune "Mama Teachings"

Flyers You Should Know About!

Peep this!










♠ HOTTTTTT New Reggae! ♠ J Boog - Nice To Know You! Major & Minor Riddim...

Greetings!
 
Every now and again, we get a surprise in Life!
We could be shopping and receive a sweet discount
on our purchase, or we can recieve an unexpected
cheque in the mail (I wish that upon you!), or, we
can hook up with a one night stand that turns out
to be the Love of a lifetime!
 
Where am I going with this?  J Boog!  J who?!  J Boog!
 
Track one on the Major & Minor riddim, produced
by Don Corleon, features a chune by J Boog called
"Nice To Know You" which is a pleasant surprise!
 
J Boog is originally from Compton, California, but lives
in Hawaii where he began his music career in 2007. 
He's been to Jamaica where he collaborated with Richie
Spice (at Big Yard), Yami Bolo and the ever talented
Gramps Morgan!
 
His rustic yet sweet voice has caused ladies to ask
for a 'pull up,' pushing the young artist in the category
of one of the fastest rising sensations.  If I had to guess,
I would say album coming out soon along with a tour;
J Boog is that serious!
 
Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch J Boog and the chune
"Nice to Know You" here:
 
P.S.  Is that Sean Paul I hear doing backing vocals on
J Boog's chune, or my ears deceiving me?!  Tell mih
nuh!  :)
 

The Drum And The Chant!

Greetings!
 
The drum is the oldest known instrument.  With
skin stretched over a bowl, a drummer strikes
the skin creating sound.  African civilization is
the first known to use drums as communication
with other tribes, and for celebration.
 
In 1995, Bobby Digital Dixon produced the
Kette Drum riddim which focused on the chanting
of the artist and the beat of the drum.  The riddim
acted as a 'calling' to all listeners, and a calling to
Jah's ears to hear the plea of the singer.
 
Bobby cleverly includes a male voice humming
in addition to the drumming and parallel to the
bassline enhancing the listeners experience without
them consciously knowing.
 
Garnet Silk chanted: "Be still all ye enemies of
God ... let the righteous be glad / sing onto God ...
 
Bounty Killer chanted:  "Before dem seek God /
dem seek dih devil / dat's why dem life so miserable /
but dih Killa say it's God / and not dih devil ...
 
Cocoa Tea chanted:  "Holy Mount Zion I'm coming
home to you ...
 
Mutabaruka chants:  "We know weh yuh up to / yuh
gih dih yute dem coke  / now dem tek coke fih joke /
yuh gih dih yute dem gun / now dih gun dem ah tun ...
simple Simon / met a pieman going to the fair / said
simple Simon to the pieman / gimme what yuh have
we nuh care / there was an ole lady who live inna shoe /
had so many children / she neva know weh fih do /
she gave dem some porridge without any bread / now
a gun man come een an shot dem all dead...."
 
Additional artists on the riddim include:  Beenie
Man & Determine / Cobra / Frankie Paul & Edi
Fitzroy / Josey Wales / Morgan Heritage /
President Brown / Shabba Ranks / Spragga
Benz / Terror Fabulous.
 
*In addition to Bobby Digital releasing the Kette
Drum riddim on his 'Digital B' label, chunes were
also released on, Donovan Germaine's Penthouse
Records*

riddim produced by Bobby Digital Dixon here:
 
P.S.  Happy Birthday to DJ C-Roy from Florida!  :)
