When Matisyahu first started touring to packed clubs more than eleven years ago, it was prior to the release of Live at Stubbs, the now Gold record, and prior to that record’s single “King without a Crown” reaching #1 on the alternative rock radio charts. His performances were a raw expression of his spirituality at that time and were supported by musicians who played a foundation of roots reggae augmented by the energy of a rock trio. Fans latched on quickly for a variety of reasons, but in August of 2005, just months after the release of Live at Stubbs, Matisyahu found himself on stage at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival with the de facto leader of improvisational rock-n-roll; Phish’s front man Trey Anastasio. Many early fans of Matisyahu remember that moment clearly not because of the songs he played in front of the 80,000 person crowd, but because of his seemingly unfettered confidence (or perhaps naiveté) in helping lead Trey and his band through an improvisational display of beat boxing and lyrical gymnastics during the two songs performed. It may have been unrefined, but Matisyahu’s passion for full band improvisation was laid bare.

Fans within the improvisational-jam scene began flocking to Matisyahu’s shows shortly thereafter. “King without a Crown” climbed the charts and Matisyahu’s follow up record Youth was nominated for a Grammy, but the blessings and curses of mainstream success each took root. While Matisyahu’s bands have always been comprised of serious multidimensional players who have artfully molded the foundations of roots reggae into many genres, that early; if only a brief display of complete surrender to the music, seemed in some way to take a back seat. Through his lyrics however, Matisyahu developed a more personal, artistic, and sophisticated way to express the yearning for deep spiritual meaning, and as his own beliefs opened up to find more variety and depth, the desire for his performances to match the unpredictable flow of life developed as well.

Adwela & the Uprising is a nationally touring seven-piece award winning roots reggae band based out of Virginia, United States of America. The music created by Adwela & the Uprising is conscious music that spreads truth. Adwela’s soul stirring lyrics give you no choice but to come to a new overstanding about the world we live in and who you choose to be.

Adwela & the Uprising was named Best New Artist in 2015 by Virginia Reggae out of Virginia Beach. They have since blossomed with several national tours under their belt. Adwela & the Uprising’s resume speak volumes by way of media coverage, television appearances, and rave reviews.

The highly anticipated first album “The Road Less Traveled” was released March 2017. Charting at #28 on the iTunes reggae album charts while spending three weeks on the top 100 charts. Adwela & the Uprising bring such a unique sound they most certainly stand out in their own right. Musical influences stem from icons such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, Jacob Miller, Damian Marley, just to name a few. Adwela & the Uprising will also be touring internationally in September 2018. Adwela & the Uprising continue to grow a faithful following with each performance and tour, and in doing so are grateful for the people they have met along the way. Ever committed to the less popular mantra of “message over popularity”, we are very humbled by the masses that have galvanized around our mission and helped keep universal music alive and well!

We are UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, Astro and Mickey Virtue, all of us founding members of the original UB40. Ali and Mickey left the band in 2008 and were reunited with Astro when he left too in 2013.

We would not want anyone to confuse Ali, Astro and Mickey’s band with the band that carried on using the name UB40 after 2008 made up of other founding members and new members they tried to replace us with in their attempt to trade off the reflected glory of the success of the original line-up.

Only with Ali Campbell, the legendary voice of UB40, reunited with Astro and Mickey can audiences get to experience the closest thing to the sound of the hugely successful original line-up of UB40 as all the hits are played. They can also get to hear these three founding members’ and UK reggae pioneers’ latest take on the genre.

When vocalist Astro and keyboard player Mickey Virtue rejoined forces with Ali Campbell, the spirit of their old band UB40 was never going to be far from the surface. All three were founding members of the iconic Birmingham reggae troupe who topped the UK singles chart on three occasions and sold 70 million records as they took their smooth yet rootsy musical blend to all corners of the globe.

We were also playing with founding member Mickey Virtue until late 2018, when Mickey decided to leave the band after 40 years. We still continue to make new music and tour as the two original singers with our incredible 8 piece reggae band.

The original line-up of UB40 with Ali and Astro enjoyed huge success over a period of almost thirty years from 1979 until 2008, including number one albums and multiple top ten gold and platinum selling albums and Grammy nominations, four number ones worldwide and a total of seventy million plus sales.

They continue to tour the world and sell out arenas and festivals. Currently preparing for the 2019 40th Anniversary arena tour starting in Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii before UK and Europe, which will then lead into a huge tour of the US.

Mono & Nikitaman leben heute in Berlin.

Mono & Nikitaman sind als Dancehall-Reggae-Band bekannt geworden aber ihre Musik enthält auch Einflüsse von Hip Hop, Popmusik und Punk. Diese vielfältige Mischung ist auf die unterschiedliche Sozialisierung der Beiden zurückzuführen.

Während Nikitaman als Kind in besetzten Häusern aufwuchs und von Punk und Straßenmusik beeinflusst wurde setzte sich Mono in ihrem Studium intensiv mit der englischen und amerikanischen Independent-Hip Hop-Szene auseinander, woraus ihr Dokumentarfilm Paint the town blue resultierte. Ihre Texte behandeln oft sozialkritische Themen und sie beziehen Stellung gegen Ausgrenzung, Rassismus, Unterdrückung und Homophobie. Mono & Nikitaman arbeiteten bisher unter anderem mit Künstlern wie Gentleman, Ce’Cile, Rebellion the Recaller und Teka zusammen.

Seit 2009 sind Mono & Nikitaman offizielle Paten des Projektes „Schule ohne Rassismus – Schule mit Courage“ am Hannah-Arendt-Gymnasium in Haßloch.

Ihr Album Im Rauch der Bengalen erschien, drei Jahre nach ihrem Live-Album, am 30. Oktober 2015 als erster Release auf ihrem eigenen Label M&N Records.

Chainska Brassika

The mischievous rabble from London have been causing mischief since school, spreading their contagious horn driven ska anthems across the UK, mainland Europe and beyond.

Chainska Brassika are firm party favourites, getting crowds rocking from Glastonbury to Nottinghill Carnival, Rototom Sunplash to Outlook – and even touring the island of Jamaica. Well known for regularly opening for UK ska legends Madness, Chainska are at the forefront of the new UK ska movement, and their crazy live show have got the band regularly onto europe’s biggest stages.

Their debut album ‘Skinna’ was released in late 2015, being championed by reggae DJ David Rodigan and backed with recently being crowned winners of the World Reggae Contest in Poland, beating over 100 bands from 28 countries – despite being predominantly a ska band. This earned the band a trip to record their follow up album in Jamaica at Harry J Studio’s – famous for where Bob Marley & The Wailers recorded the albums Natty Dread, Catch A Fire, Rastaman Vibration & Burnin’.

On 24th November 2017 the band released their follow up album ‘Harry J Business’, recorded at Harry J Studios in Kingston with double Grammy award winning producer Stephen Stewart. The album has a rare feature from well known reggae singer Toots Hibbert of Toots & The Maytals which has gained major airplay across BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 Music & BBC Radio 1xtra. The album gained a 6 page review in the world’s biggest reggae magazine ‘Festiville’ organised by Reggaeville and got them invited to showcase at SXSW Festival in Texas, USA. Extensive tours of the UK and Europe to promote the album followed, with big promoters in the USA knocking on the door to get the album toured in the States.

“Well they got me going in the studio, I can tell you…I think that is absolutely brilliant” David Rodigan MBE on BBC Radio 2

“Chainska is one of the most impressive and promising upcoming acts in the reggae/ska genre that I have seen or heard in while” The Skatalites

The Wailers – Keeping the Music Alive
The legendary Wailers band returns to bring its revolutionary sound to fans around the world. Steered by famed bassist and founder Aston “Familyman” Barrett, and joined in solidarity with original Wailers’ guitarist Donald Kinsey, The Wailers continue to create musical history.

From 1973 to 1980, Bob Marley & The Wailers recorded, toured and performed before millions of fans worldwide. Since 1981, Familyman and Junior Marvin have carried on the mission to “keep The Wailers together,” just as Bob requested, affirming: “By doing that, you keep me alive through the music.”

In tribute to the late co-founder and drummer Carlton “Carly” Barrett, The Wailers present Aston Barrett, Jr. on drums. It’s startling how this young powerhouse delivers with his uncle’s unique and inspiring landmark style. Lead singer Joshua David Barrett is a Rastaman by lifestyle and culture. Josh impeccably delivers Bob’s powerful message of Jah love and unity through his engaging performance and interaction with the audience.

Adding to the exciting stage is veteran Owen “Dreadie” Reid on guitar & bass is a past student of Familyman, while super-charged performer Andreas Lopez rocks on keyboards. Live audio engineer Dennis Thompson, the man responsible for The Wailers sound in stadiums, clubs, and studios throughout the ‘70s will make special appearances as schedules permit.

There are more than 100 million Bob Marley & The Wailers recordings sold worldwide, including 1977’s Exodus, anointed Best Album of the Century in 1999 by Time Magazine, and “One Love,” named Song of the Millennium that same year by BBC. Spin Magazine listed Bob Marley & The Wailers at #4 of the “50 Greatest Bands of All Times,” while The New York Times named Bob Marley the most significant musician of the 20th century. These accolades were made possible by the creative, timeless, and distinctive music, lyrics and production of these incomparable Wailers musicians.

n 2015, 311 embarked on their fourth Caribbean Cruise, Mimai to Ocho Rios Jamaica 2/25 – 3/1.

Reggae music has flourished in this post-Internet age. It’s never been so accessible and yet whilst new acts are plentiful, global audiences are still drawn towards those legends who achieved worldwide recognition the hard way; i.e. by making hits of timeless appeal, and are stamped with authenticity.

As verified by his long-awaited retrospective, ‘Maximum Collection,’ Maxi Priest has earned his place among other greats such as Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Toots & The Maytals and Dennis Brown in spreading the reggae gospel far and wide. This is an extraordinary achievement for a singer steeped in Jamaican music, yet raised in South London. Maxi’s joyous brand of reggae and lovers’ rock, infused with r&b and accompanied by real charisma, would bring him a level of success no other British reggae singer can match. He’s deserved it too, because despite the pressures of stardom, he’s remained true to his core audience from the beginning.

Maxi original fans yearned for songs that reflected their own aspirations, tastes and upbringing. Many came from hardworking immigrant families who’d faced discrimination and yet still found the resolve to build strongly knit communities. Whether it told of hardship or romance, reggae music formed the soundtrack to these people’s lives and by the time riots had swept through Britain’s inner cities in the early Eighties, they were ready to celebrate one of their own. ‘Should I’ had already flown to No. 1 on the Black Echoes charts before Maxi signed with Virgin Records, and follow-up hit ‘In The Springtime’ announced the arrival of his 1985 debut album ‘You’re Safe.’ That was the year he was invited to appear at the UK Reggae Sunsplash, and gave a crowning performance infront of 25,000 people crammed into Crystal Palace football stadium. A short while earlier, he and Paul Robinson had produced Philip Levi’s ‘Mi God Mi King,’ which made history by becoming the first British reggae production to reach No. 1 on the Jamaican charts – a feat that remains unequalled to this day. Whilst his record label saw him as a marketing dream, British reggae audiences took note of his South London roots, and appreciated his humble beginnings.

In December 2017, the genre-mashing outfit will host its 4th annual Closer To The Sun festival, a four day gathering of music in an intimate “all inclusive” setting for their hardest core fans and favorite hand selected talent, taking place on the sand in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, amidst the spiritual Mayan Peninsula. The Closer To The Sun festival also represents Slightly Stoopid’s philanthropic side, as the event helps to raise funds for the non-profit charity, Positive Legacy.

Additionally, Slightly Stoopid has generously supported the pediatric cancer organizations Grind For Life and the Sheckler Foundation by teaming with the legendary skateboarder Danny Way for a limited edition custom skate deck/CD fundraising project. Also, the 2017 animated video for their recent single “One Bright Day” (featuring singer Angela Hunte), included an “on-line auction” component utilizing limited edition hand-painted canvases used in the video. The effort helped to provide light to 4 villages associated with the Global Brightlight Foundation, a charitable organization for providing third world villages in need of solar power.

Recently Slightly Stoopid churned out their second live webcast performance with music legend Bob Weir (Grateful Dead) at his TRI Studios complex, a session that yielded live versions of Grateful Dead’s “Franklin’s Tower” and Prince’s “Purple Rain” (the latter recorded at the respectful request of Weir on the morning that witnessed the legend’s unanticipated passing).

An eclectic band when it comes to musical styles as well as collaborations, Slightly Stoopid, now in their second decade of making music, continues to manufacture an energizing and multifaceted sound that has been described as “a spiritual bath of positive party energy.” Look for new music from the band in 2018…

Thomas Wesley Pentz, better known as Diplo, is one of the most dynamic forces in music today. He is as much an international brand as he is a musician/DJ/producer. He\’s proven himself to be a ubiquitous cultural figure, consistently bridging high and low, mainstream and underground, with remarkable tact and reverence.
In 2004, after throwing influential parties in South Philadelphia, Pentz cemented himself as a full fledged artist through his debut album, “Florida” which received praise within the underground community. Diplo worked with M.I.A. on her mixtape, first and second albums, eventually creating the Grammy nominated track “Paper Planes” in 2007, which hit No. 4 on the U.S. Hot 100 Chart and has sold more than 3 million copies.

In 2005, Diplo founded label/culture lab Mad Decent to serve as a platform for showcasing the myriad of fascinating sounds Pentz encounters while touring the world. Notable artists include: Dillon Francis, DJ Snake, Baauer, and Riff Raff. Coming full circle from his days of Hollertronix, Diplo has utilized the label to produce the annual and infamous Mad Decent Block Parties — a series of outdoor dance parties/concerts that now span 19 cities across North America.
After multiple Grammy nominations, including Producer of the Year, and being crowned the #1 most streamed artist on Soundcloud for 2013, Beyoncé\’s “Run the World” sampled Major Lazer\’s “Pon De Floor” and sold over a million copies, cementing Diplo\’s place in the pop world.

Fast forward to present day, Pentz has 235+ show dates under his belt in 2015 alone, and three 2016 Grammy Nominations including Producer of the Year, Best Dance Recording, and Best Dance/Electronic Album. Diplo remains the go-to producer for the who\’s who of the pop music landscape.

Mono & Nikitaman sind als Dancehall-Reggae-Band bekannt geworden aber ihre Musik enthält auch Einflüsse von Hip Hop, Popmusik und Punk. Diese vielfältige Mischung ist auf die unterschiedliche Sozialisierung der Beiden zurückzuführen.

Während Nikitaman als Kind in besetzten Häusern aufwuchs und von Punk und Straßenmusik beeinflusst wurde setzte sich Mono in ihrem Studium intensiv mit der englischen und amerikanischen Independent-Hip Hop-Szene auseinander, woraus ihr Dokumentarfilm Paint the town blue resultierte. Ihre Texte behandeln oft sozialkritische Themen und sie beziehen Stellung gegen Ausgrenzung, Rassismus, Unterdrückung und Homophobie. Mono & Nikitaman arbeiteten bisher unter anderem mit Künstlern wie Gentleman, Ce’Cile, Rebellion the Recaller und Teka zusammen.

Seit 2009 sind Mono & Nikitaman offizielle Paten des Projektes „Schule ohne Rassismus – Schule mit Courage“ am Hannah-Arendt-Gymnasium in Haßloch.

Ihr Album Im Rauch der Bengalen erschien, drei Jahre nach ihrem Live-Album, am 30. Oktober 2015 als erster Release auf ihrem eigenen Label M&N Records.

Mono (bürgerlich Monika Jaksch; * 5. Mai 1975 in Linz) absolvierte ihr Studium an der Kunstuniversität Linz. Sie lebte einige Zeit in Bristol und San Francisco um dort ihren Hip Hop-Dokumentarfilm Paint the town blue zu drehen. Außerdem war sie Mitglied und DJ im Linzer Soundsystem Soundsgood International.

Nikitaman (bürgerlich Nick Tilstra; * 4. Juli 1974 in Düsseldorf) der im Düsseldorfer Hausbesetzermilieu aufwuchs spielte als Perkussionist in mehreren Bands. Daneben tourte er mit verschiedenen Soundsystems unter anderem auch im süditalienischen Salento. Beim dortigen Zusammentreffen mit dem Linzer Soundsystem Soundsgood International lernte er Monika Jaksch kennen.

Mono & Nikitaman auf der Demonstration Freiheit statt Angst
Auf der 2002 erschienenen EP Ahh…Loco..? von Nikitaman gibt es ein erstes Feature mit Mono woraufhin sich beide 2004 entschlossen eine gemeinsame Band zu gründen. Es folgten vier Alben die auf dem Independentlabel Rootdown Records veröffentlicht worden sind. 2012 erschien dort auch ihr erstes Livealbum.

We are UB40 featuring Ali Campbell and Astro, both founding members of the original UB40. Ali left the original band in 2008 siting business management issues and was vindicated when said managers were struck off. Ali was then reunited with Astro when he left in 2013. We were also playing with founding member Mickey Virtue until late 2018, when Mickey decided to leave the band after 40 years. We still continue to make new music and tour as the two original singers with our incredible 8 piece reggae band.

The original line-up of UB40 with Ali and Astro enjoyed huge success over a period of almost thirty years from 1979 until 2008, including number one albums and multiple top ten gold and platinum selling albums and Grammy nominations, four number ones worldwide and a total of seventy million plus sales.

We would not want anyone to confuse Ali and Astro’s band with the band that carried on using the name UB40 after 2008, made up of other founding members and new members they tried to replace us with in their attempt to trade off the reflected glory of the success of the original line-up.

Only with Ali Campbell, the legendary voice of UB40, reunited with Astro, can audiences get to experience the closest thing to the sound of the hugely successful original line-up of UB40 as all the hits are played. They can also get to hear these two founding members’ and UK reggae pioneers’ latest take on the genre.

UB40 featuring Ali Campbell and Astro have enjoyed lots of success with live touring and recorded music over the last five years, including top ten albums Silhouette and Unplugged and in 2018 they reached number two in the charts with the critically acclaimed A Real Labour of Love. They continue to tour the world and sell out arenas and festivals. Currently preparing for the 2019 40th Anniversary arena tour starting in Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii before UK and Europe, which will then lead into a huge tour of the US.

On Passafire’s sixth studio release, Longshot, the Savannah, GA based rock outfit gives a testimony to following dreams, inspired by people, places, and experiences Passafire has shared since forming as a band. The group’s four members continue chasing their passion despite being told many times that “Making it as a musician is a long-shot,” a piece of advice that inspired this album and its title. Longshot takes its listeners through a full spectrum of emotions, telling stories of heartbreak, new beginnings, overcoming personal struggles, finding truths, discovering new places, and getting older, all weaved into Passafire’s genre-defying mix of reggae, hard rock, hip hop, and anything else that turns the group on musically.
Passafire was formed in Savannah, GA, in 2003 by Ted Bowne and Nick Kubley, and have built a strong reputation within the U.S. reggae scene through relentless touring with fellow band members Mike DeGuzman and Will Kubley. Bowne doesn’t mind the grueling schedule and adds, “Touring is the best way to keep the buzz about the band going. What keeps it fun and exciting is the people we meet and places we get to see. We are in a new city every day so there’s always something to go see or do.” They continue to be a larger part of the U.S. reggae scene, even though musically they are often far apart from many of their peers in the genre, with a growing emphasis on alternative and progressive rock elements within their songs.
