PRESS RELEASE: @KoncQuenceMuzik Dominates In 2015

Posted on by swadedavillain

Canadian based music group, Konsequence Music continues to dominate 2015, this time with the release of the “True Colours Riddim”. The project featured artistes such as Jahmiel, Andre Shepherd, Vershon, 3 Star, Quick Cook, Jae Prynce and many more. The label reached out to Jahmiel for the song “True Colours” and Andre Shepherd for his song “Covered”, arguably two of Jamaica’s finest vocalists, who have delivered superbly.

True Colours Riddim is an upbeat one, and got its name from Jahmiel’s song of that same name. The Riddim has received great reviews since its release both locally and internationally. The songs are available for purchase on all digital platforms including iTunes, Spotify, CD Baby, Amazon Music and Google Play. The difference with this project is the universal message that it is sending out that everyone and anyone can relate to.

Andre Shepherd has this to say about his song “Covered”, “The song speaks to everyone. We all can relate to the song and most importantly it affirms the fact throughout whatever we are going through, we are all covered by the most high. The music is upbeat and creates a spirit of hope and this song encourages us to always be optimistic and proactive.” Jahmiel is also very pleased with the song and anticipates that it will be a success. “I have no doubt that this entire project will be successful. So far I have been getting a lot of positive feedback from this song and I know it can only better from here.”

CEO of Konsequence Music, Mr. Peart says that he hopes to get the company and the Riddim the much deserved attention with this project. The Label has put out quite a number of notable songs since its inception including Versatile’s “Work Flow”, the “Summa Escape Riddim”,  Jah Vinci’s “Be Strong”, Exco Levi’s “If You Wanna Leave”, Melloquence’s “Beautiful Distraction” and  Khago’s “Nuh Fi Legalize.”

For the rest of the year Konsequence Music will be busy working on numerous projects for their growing fan base.

PRESS RELEASE: Major Changes For @ReggaeSting

Posted on by swadedavillain

The countdown has begun for Sting, arguably one of the most anticipated annual events, and this year Supreme Promotions, the event’s organizer, is planning on a brand-new structure.

Sting 2015, under the theme ‘From Then ‘Til Now’, will mark a revolution for the historic event.

This year’s staging will be centered on honoring the major contributors to Jamaica’s music industry’s longest-running entertainment event. “We have been doing this since 1984 at Cinema II. Our posters are hot tickets.

“Year to year, people would try to get one to place on their walls at home, which indicates the impact of this event.

“It’s not we alone who do this, so we want to take some time to highlight the ones that help us make Sting what it is today,” said Sting creative director Dimario McDowell.

To accommodate the best of what the over 50 acts have to offer, gone are the days of lengthy full sets. A new wave of tighter sets, laced with only hit records from each performer, is the new order.

“We have to create a way to facilitate a large magnitude of artistes – constricted to the same time period, from dusk to dawn – where everybody gets to see who they want and hear what they want, the big tunes,” Sting founder and CEO Isaiah Laing added.

The brand-new structure will also see a mega midnight attraction with two of Dancehall’s most sought-after hit makers already secured for the event, which will be held on December 26 at Jamworld.

“Every year, we try to book them, and they always have shows in other parts of the world. They are in high demand ’cause they already cross over into the international market. We reach out to them from early, and they are excited to return,” said Sting conceptualizer Junior ‘Heavy-D’ Fraser.

In a few weeks, a press conference will be used to announce the top giants planned for the event.

Sting is renowned for having its audience witness one-of-a-kind entertainment. There have been memorable clashes involving Titans Shabba Ranks, Ninja Man, Super Cat, Mad Cobra, Beenie Man, and Bounty Killer, as well as outstanding performances from hip-hop greats Notorious BIG, DMX, and Foxy Brown, as well as iconic reggae acts Buju Banton, Freddie McGregor, Patra, and Maxi Priest.

Next month’s event will be no different as ticket purchasers will continue to get the best of reggae and dancehall at the same great price.

The greatest one-night Reggae and Dancehall show in the world, Sting is already the hot topic on showgoers’ lips.

Mixtape Rave With @Shanny_14

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today I introduce the first in a new series titled “Mixtape Rave“. Hosted by Blogger Shannydelioness, she scours the Internet to bring to you some of the mixtapes she has been feeling over the past week. Please note that Shanny is a Soca Junkie and there’s a chance your favourite DJ’s mix might be featured. Tune in.

1. Bienvenido A Miami – DJ Private Ryan

Sweet Soca at its finest prepared for the Miami Carnival Warm Up by one of Trinidad & Tobago’s best DJs. DJ Private Ryan’s mixes renewed my love affair with Carnival so of course they are a must listen for me. I love the mix of Soca artistes from T&T, St. Lucia, and all the other islands in between.

2. Summer Festa 2015 – Dei Musicale

This mix starts off with one of my favourite songs, Lean On (ft. MO) – Major Lazer & DJ Snake which ushers in some of 2015’s hottest Dancehall, EDM, Soca and ending with the hottest Hip Hop selections.

3. PURESLU Promo Mix – DJ Puffy

I have Youtube’s search engine to thank for discovering DJ Puffy’s musical genius (my Tunein app is stuck on Slam 101 every evening so I have the chance to listen to his show).  This promo mix is PURE VIBES!

PRESS RELEASE: @DAngelMusic1 Set To Shoot Video For Whine Factory

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording artiste D’Angel has been out and about on her promotional trail visiting several media houses. She is now ready to shoot the video for her sizzling single ‘Whine Factory’ produced by Hitmatic Records which she believes will be “mind blowing” and “fashion forward”.

The video will be shot by Bloozick Films and will focus on high fashion and positive vibrations. D’Angel said “I never resigned from being a model; I love fashion so I opted to use a Jamaican designer to get my looks for this video”. The‘Blazing’ artiste recorded the single earlier this year but by the request of her fans she decided to shoot the video for the single.

‘Whine Factory’ has also turned heads because of the line in the single that says “a dah wine yah mi use an hold zagga zow a it mi use an hold di gad”. D’Angel shared, “I poked a lot of fun on the rumours in the past in this song, many people say I can’t dance and others still make jokes about my past relationship with Beenie Man and Bounty Killer so now I am having fun with it too in my song. I am an entertainer at heart and nothing can keep me down”.

Not only is D’Angel making progress in her career but she is eager to establish the ‘D’Angel Foundation. In 2014, D’Angel donated over one hundred thousand dollars to an infirmary in Spanish Town. The first lady has also made appearances at several charity events in particular Stampede’s Spanish Town prison visit.

D’Angel is also working with several stylists and designers to complete her new photo shoot for new promotional merchandise. Fans can follow D’Angel on Instagram @DAngelMusic and on Twitter @DAngelMusic1

PRESS RELEASE: @Savage1080 Signs With Dutty Fridaze Promotions

Posted on by swadedavillain

Savage aka Savo, born Simon Alex Daley had musical experiences at the juvenescent age of 11 years old and was a notable member of the choir at Olivet Seventh Day Adventist Church which he attended with his mother.

A past student of the St. Andrew Technical High School, Savo aspired to pursue a career as a Medical Doctor, however, music was to be his deft and mastery. Savo became a member of Mavado’s Gully Squad in 2009 and met his role model, mentor and musical stalwart in the Dancehall Reggae arena, Bounty Killer, a link made by fellow Recording Artiste, Flexx. His breakthrough came in October 2009 with the release of “Gully Christmas”, a single by Mavado featuring Flexx and Savage on the Christmas Riddim, produced by Stephen Di Genius.

In April 2011, Savo made the most pronounced move of his career when he signed to Jah Snowcone Entertainment, which is spearheaded by Rohan “Snowcone” Fuller, who is regarded as one of Jamaica’s most talented producers. Under Jah Snowcone’s guise and direction, Savo infiltrated the Jamaican music scene with “Mi Nah” on the Ital Stew Riddim, being one of his biggest hit to date.

Savo, with his varied styles and versatility, as well as exceptional and prodigious writing skills, has been making tremendous headway in the industry; his positive energy and upbeat personality has poised him into becoming a formidable artiste, writer and performer. With his new works, collaborations alongside artistes such as Spragga Benz, Mr. Vegas, Beenie Man and Chris Martin, to name a few, these will see him catapulting his way onto every Reggae chart and into the hearts of reggae music lovers.

Now, with the recent signing to top management company, the Vanclive “Fada Bulla” Parris owned Dutty Fridayz Promotions, Savo is expected to reach higher heights especially after recording several songs that have already made their way into mainstream radio and events.

Savo‘s latest tracks include “Culu Culu”, “Wine Up Suh”, “Bruk Bak”and “Weed Speech (Remix)”. Previously, he created a strong partnership with Frassout Records owner/producer, Milton “Frassout” Foster, consistently securing his spot on every riddim made and released by the record label. Hits like “Waiting For” on the Heaven Riddim, “Nah Gwan Well” on the Moscato Riddim and single “Top Shelf”, which was a collaboration with Young Flex PD, have seen incredible success.

There is many more to come from this versatile artist with huge crossover potential. Savo intends on being an immense influence on every market worldwide and sealing the deal with Dutty Fridayz is just the first step to making his mark on a global scale.

PRESS RELEASE: @RadijahMusic’s Thot Wine Music Video Coming Soon!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently Radijah’s ‘THOT Wine’ has been receiving some hard punches after a couple decided to have live sex to the song at a party in Kingston. The video was uploaded to Facebook where it went viral and was even featured on WorldstarHipHop.com. Even though the comments were rather harsh, Radijah is going full speed ahead with promotion of the song starting with his recently shot music video.

The video was directed by Smokin Acez Media, which is lead by former Fiwi Choice TV host Debbie Debz. “I’ve recently shot the music video for “Thot Wine” in Port Royal. Being onset was a lot of hard work but it made me appreciate my job as an artist more. Dancing plays a major role in this video and I must say thanks to all the Mobay and Kingston based dancers who turned up for the shoot. You all did an excellent job.”

Radijah was recently signed to Florida based Record Label Rags 2 Riches Empire who is very excited to see Radijah’s growth over the last six months and is very optimistic about his future in Dancehall.  

“Smokin Acez media is always thinking outside the box and that is what you will get with this video. Thot Wine’s video is going to take Jamaicans by storm as they have never seen a video like this before. Directing this video was awesome as Radijah is easy to work with and he takes instructions very well” said Debbion “Debbie Debz” Smith, the Music Video’s Director.

Radijah encourages his fans to stay tuned to his Social Media for more updates on everything that is happening in his music career at @rags2richesJA on Instagram.
