seen. presents King Kong Disco »DJ Unity«

Tobias — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 21:02:28 +0000

This week’s episode of the Tropical Heat podcast is once again presented by King Kong Disco out of Hamburg city, Germany.

After they took us on a fantastic journey to Studio 1 universe last time, they have a look at what has become of those classic riddims 20 years after their release today: their new mix »DJ Unity«,

is a mix dedicated to the versatile reggae deejay styles of the 90s. During the 2-hour jugglings, we meet dancehall producers like e.g. Bobby Digital or Donovan Germain who started their legendary careers in that decade. On top of the productions, we get a completely new generation of deejays who couldn’t sound more different than their 70s predecessors did: artists like Shabba Ranks, Tony Rebel, Terror Fabulous, or Terry Ganzie had a major influence on what is known as dancehall ragga today.

Enjoy!

Sponsors wanted for Innermann – a book full of nice portraits of Jamaican reggae, ska & dancehall artists.

Tobias — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:28:10 +0000

»Innermann« is a book prototype with about 230 pages featuring a decade of black and white portraits of Jamaican reggae, ska and dancehall artists such as Alton Ellis, Sugar Minnot or Beres Hammond – just to name a few.

The layout of the book is already completey finished but to get »Innermann« produced, Holger, the photographer, needs financial support. Therefore, he is looking for either one exclusive sponsor financing the project or multiple limited sponsors joining forces to finally get »Innermann« from screen to print.

Unfortunately, we are not in the situation to back him up with euro dollars ourselves, but – like our friend Kai – we are happy to help Holger find the people who are. So in case you’re reading this and would like to sponsor »Innermann«, please get in touch with Holger here.
