Of all the music genres Reggae music has taken the brunt of negative publicity
we all know at times it has done itself no favours but then has any other genre
of music lead by example ? A quick scan though music channel s proves it's
easy to find derogatory or gun-fuelled lyrics been aired at any time of the day.
Despite the negative perception reggae has continued and will always continue
to evolve itself, whilst the veterans of the industry continue to record quality
music the mass of raw talent of young artists cannot be stopped, Once seen as
exclusively Jamaican music you can see that our beloved music has gone
international! Alborosie (Italy), Morgan Heritage (U.S.A) Pressure Busspipe
(Virgin Islands), Natural Black (Guyana), Gentleman (Germany), Ziggi (
Netherlands) need I go on? lets not forget our very own UK artists to name a
few Peter Hunningale YT and of course The Original Charmer Mr Peter Spence!
For people growing up in Birmingham in the 80's and to be not influenced by
reggae music would surely be impossible, we all have our favourite track our
favourite riddim and have fond memories of when and where we was when a
sound system played a certain track it never goes away, for Next Selection
Sound's ( Supa C & DJ Paradox ) it was the beginning of a musical marriage
and we haven't had an affair yet!! With our knowledge of reggae music
supported by our extensive catalogue of music spanning the decades.
The temptation to play on a reggae only station has always been an option and
numerous opportunities have been turned down but a meeting with the guys at
Blaze FM changed everything! their true passion and respect for all music
genres in conjunction with their community works was enough to convince us
that if we are all saying our music is universal it's time to play it to a universal
audience.
We call on all reggae lovers to tune in and join the journey we also call on all
other music lovers to step on board hey even if it's for a short ride!
