 Another Great Reggae Film To Check Out by Mitch Santell It was really fun to go online early this morning to find a very unique documentary that just opened in theaters in the United Kingdom. First, check out the trailer above. Second, a little bit about the film and the director: Peter Webber is a British director and producer known for his debut film, Girl with a Pearl Earring and Hannibal Rising. Inna De Yard: The Soul of Jamaica is his third feature documentary after Ten Billion and Earth: One Amazing Day. No matter what is written or said, it always comes down to a comment about Bob Marley.  While Bob Marley may be most closely associated with the heyday of reggae music, there are others who did not achieve international stardom, ones who remain popular in Jamaica and among reggae fans, singers and songwriters who maintain the spiritual and social values reflected in their music from the 70s and 80s. Now they will once again sing about those values, as relevant as ever, on an international tour. Inna de Yard captures the musicians—among them Ken Boothe, Winston McAnuff, Kiddus I, and Cedric Myton—as they reacquaint, swap stories, and talk of their lives as they rehearse in a studio in the hills above Kingston in a house adorned with hundreds of old LPs and 45s from back in the day. Third, here is a link to buy tickets. The film is being shown in the United Kingdom. https://www.innadeyard.film  #reggae #dancehall #music #hiphop #jamaica #reggaemusic #soca #afrobeats #dj #rap #rnb #dub #party #roots #caribbean #bobmarley #ska #love #rasta #reggaeton #rock #onelove #livemusic #rastafari #dance #soundsystem #repost #k #musica #bhfyp #dancehallmusic #soul #africa #afrobeat #rootsreggae #vybzkartel #jamaican #summer #vibes #artist #nyc #trap #nightlife #goodvibes #culture #top #funk #rocksteady #pop #trinidad #afrocaribbean #brooklyn #bujubanton #kingston #jazz #producer #concert #vinyl #newmusic #radio #errolbrown
 A Happy Friday Commentary by Mitch Santell It is Stick Figure Friday here @BigReggaeMix.

This band gets better and better with every release. This is Stick Figure's first studio album since 2015. There is no band on the Reggae scene that is as current or has a massive wall of sound like the band Stick Figure. Their music is perfect for driving, riding the waves, or smoking out.  Go here now: https://www.stickfiguremusic.com  Here are the links to follow Stick Figure.

For all of our listeners who are attending this festival, please let us know what you think. NAPLES, AUGUST 21 - The Greek island of Paxos will become the capital of international reggae music for three days with the Paxos Reggae Festival from August 29 to August 31.   A Commentary On Streaming Frustrations by Mitch Santell Big Reggae Mix is committed to you our listeners. First, we want to thank all of you who send us such kind comments regarding our station. Second, a special thank you to the dozens and dozens of Reggae Bands who have provided us with eloquent beautiful drops to play at the station. (An extraordinary hat tip to those bands who recorded their drop as a song). One of the biggest challenges that our station has faced merely is staying on the air. It is not that we don't want to be the best Reggae Station you have ever heard online; it is that the rules keep changing, the companies keep changing. The players keep changing. May I give you an example? For over three years Big Reggae Mix Streamed Loud and Proud at TuneIn both on their website and through the TuneIn Radio App.  We have contacted TuneIn at least 12 times, and now I am writing to their support team every other week. Why am I so upset that we are off of TuneIn? Answer: We lost our license to stream and legally relaunched our station on July 12, 2019, after being on the air continuously for 24/7 since November 5, 2014. How many listeners were following and registered at TuneIn? Answer: 68,400 So here is TuneIn, streaming thousands of stations through their platform and this I can tell you from experience: Don't ever go off the air because you will never again be on Tunein. The company will tell you that they are not accepting any new station. If this little rant has inspired you, please be so kind as to visit their support page at https://help.tunein.com/contact ( Click and it will take you to the page now). When you land on the page, the contact screen will look like this:  Simply fill out the form as best you can and share with TuneIn your sincere passion for Big Reggae Mix.  We will have an update regarding TuneIn soon. In the meantime, check out our home page where you can stream directly and/or through Radio.net (one of our favorite streaming platforms).

Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back In The Water by Mitch Santell Yes I thought I had seen and read it all in this world but then I thought, oh my, we must have Reggae Ice Cream! I love it.  You are going to love my ice cream! Levi Roots and his Caribbean-inspired Reggae Reggae sauces were a food phenomenon. And now, having already conquered the supermarket shelves and the charts (yes, he was once nominated for a MOBO Award and has released seven cookbooks), the Brixton-based jerk master is set to churn out his very own brand of Reggae Reggae ice-cream. Roots - real name Keith Valentine Alexander David Bright Graham - has signed a three-year licensing deal with a Cornish ice-cream company to produce the unique range of ice-creams and sorbets. And it's expected to launch next year. Yikes. “I am so excited to be launching my very own fabulicious range of the most delicious flavour ice creams you will have tasted,” Roots said in an interview with Cornwall Live. “Check them out and let your taste buds be jumping for joy.” Roots first shot to fame on the hit BBC TV show Dragon’s Den after being approached by a producer who spotted him selling his jerk sauces at the Notting Hill Carnival. Catching the eye of investor Peter Jones, Roots went on to secure £50,000 worth of funding and introduce the world to his now-famous Reggae Reggae sauce. After joining forces with the award-winning Callestick dairy farm near Truro, Cornwall, Roots’s latest culinary creation appears to be peaking the interest of the major supermarket chains according to the farm. “We’ve had many meetings with Levi and his team over the last few months,” notes Callestick sales director, David Jeffs, “and the flavours we are working on are truly delicious and very different to anything you will currently find in freezer cabinets.” Read more here now: http://bit.ly/2Pa9NX7  #icecream #dessert #food #foodporn #summer #foodie #chocolate #gelato #yummy #delicious #instafood #love #desserts #sweet #foodphotography #tasty #foodblogger #instagood #yum #foodgasm #coffee #instagram #cake #sweets #sweettooth #vegan #foodstagram #helado #ice #bhfyp #happy #foodies #cafe #eat #photography #dessertporn #vanilla #milkshake #foodlover #eis #strawberry #fun #icecreamlover #gelateria #summertime #photooftheday #gelatoartigianale #birthday #nutella #bhfyp #foodpics #waffles #picoftheday #icecreamporn #cookies #icecreamtime #fresh #softserve #icecreamshop #foods #icecreamlover #icecream #instafood #icecreamtime #gelato #oman #icecreamaddict #delicious #foodie #foodporn #icecreamlovers #icecreams #dessert #icecreamlove #instagood #icecreamcone #food #foodstagram #desserts #icecreamshop #chocolate #uae #giveawayalert #dubai #ilovefood #giveawaytime #giveawaycontest #foodblogger #play #repost #unikai #dubaicontest #iloveunikai #instacontest #ilovedubai #shareandwinin #playandwin #fmcguae #contestalert #fmcgdubai #facebookcontest #foodlover #omancontest #unikaicontests #dubaigiveaway #gelatoitaliano #yummy #summer #icecreamofinsta #gelatolovers #foodgasm #icecreamporn #sprinkles #icecreamday #tasty #gelatoartigianale #foodiegram #lifeindubai #icecreamcones
 Reflections On How Old Trends Become New Trends by Mitch Santell So you want to know a little secret about Big Reggae Mix? Over the past 4+ years that we have been streaming this station 24/7 loud and proud, most of our listeners are in Europe, not America. We keep thinking we'll get more listeners in the USA, but it's Europe including most of Germany, England, France, Italy, Belgium and many more that are feeling us on their tablets, PCs and iPhones or Smartphones. After Europe, we have Asia and all of the Pacific Islands. I'll admit there is a period where we get a lot of people in Alaska as well as California tuning in. Our station has a life of its own. The quality of the content, as well as the passion for all kinds of Reggae artists worldwide, is what fuels this station. Yeah Mon! Jah Bless!  Why a whole new generation of young Europeans are turning to old-school reggae Acamera sweeps across the verdant, shimmering beauty of Jamaica before descending on to a raffishly charming wooden house built into the hills. We’re at a music studio where four of the pioneers who gave birth to reggae are congregated to record a new album. ‘It’s tranquil, a real feeling of nature, just birds, trees and the wind,’ says 71-year-old Ken Boothe, whose seductive voice is smooth as rum, just as it was in 1974 when ‘Everything I Own’ stormed the British charts. Boothe is one of the stars of a beguiling new documentary, Inna De Yard, about the rise and fall of roots reggae, which reached its peak in the late 1970s with Bob Marley’s ‘conscious’ lyric-writing and is now witnessing a revival. What made the music so distinctive were two key elements: earnest harmonies, especially of the Rastafarian reggae singers, underpinned by the characteristic ‘one drop’ of the rhythm guitar and bass drum. It heralded a simple ‘dirt music’, grounded in the sun-baked earth of Jamaica’s ghettos, such as Trench Town, from where it emerged. Fundamentally, roots reggae was a music of black liberation, a narrative of freedom from subjugation: either in escaping to mythical Mother Africa or in death, over which the slave master and his colonial successor held no dominion. When, in ‘Talkin’ Blues’, Marley sang ‘cold ground was my bed at night/ and rock was my pillow too’, his compatriots recognised it as real-life biography; his suffering was theirs. Rooted in hope and redemption, these searing, ethereal songs evoked an eternal life beyond this one, its lyrics peppered with reflections on the remembrance of slavery, most soulfully rendered in Peter Tosh’s ‘Stop That Train’. But embedded in these serious themes were wit and optimism. As the Heptones sang in ‘Sufferer’s Time’, the popularity of reggae meant ‘a time fe sufferer’s drive big car/ a time fe sufferer’s live it up’. After Marley’s death in 1981 that spiritually uplifting old-school reggae was eclipsed by harsher-sounding dancehall stars whose music was characterised by highly sexualised ‘punany’ lyrics. The cultural coup was confirmed by 1990 when Bunny Wailer (one of the three original Wailers) was bottled off stage by a young crowd at the Sting Festival. Like many of his contemporaries, Wailer seemed thereafter to withdraw from performing. Premature decline also affected Kiddus I, Winston McAnuff and Cedric Myton, who along with Ken Boothe (the godfather of reggae) star in Inna De Yard. All four, in past decades, suffered terrible misfortunes and yet, late in their careers, they find themselves lauded, in a remarkable turnaround. The documentary charts them coming together on the remote outskirts of Jamaica’s capital, Kingston, to record an album in a makeshift studio known locally as music mountain.

Satta Don Dada
A Commentary on Endless Reggae Possibilities by Mitch Santell
So many artist and so little time! If you have not heard of this Artist you might want to check him out.
Evan G. aka Satta Don Dada specializes in bridging the gap between modern day Bass Music stylings and traditional Reggae/Hip-Hop vibes. His prowess as a DJ was recognized early on by his peers and later reaffirmed by Skrillex hand picking him to open for his 2014 Mothership Tour. His name as a producer started to gain exposure in 2012, when won the legendary Dubstep/Grime artist Cotti’s “Goin’ To War’ remix competition. Since then he’s been local support for such acts as Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, DJ Premier, Araabmuzik, and Kamasi Washington, among many other headliners. He’s also been featured in world renowned media outlets like Mixmag, XLR8R, Fact Mag, Boiler Room, Magnetic Mag, and many more noteworthy publications.
The more I study the genre of Reggae the more avenue of new music and creativity that I find. Here is what Evan G. aka Satta Don Dada is doing in Detroit. This is so cool! I can dig it.
Local DJ Evan Glicker, also known by his stage name Satta Don Dada, played the first show of his four-month residency at Detroit City Distillery earlier this month.
He says that he plans to bring in food pop-ups, have guest artists, and have nights where he focuses on certain subgenres of reggae to diversify the sounds people are hearing. Glicker has been producing reggae music in Michigan for over 15 years, incorporating roots and dub elements into his work. At a young age, he found a handful of reggae records in his dads vinyl collection. Glicker says he remembers feeling drawn to the sound because it sounded different than any other type of music he heard before. “The rock records stuck out to me, I liked the jazz, but the reggae stuck out to me, because I was sort of entranced by the phrases,” Glicker says. He added that although they speak English in much of Jamaica, the patois sounds very different and has influenced his music through the years. After graduating from high school, Glicker attended New York University and the Toronto Film School, where he studied music and learned more about Jamaican culture and music production. “[Reggae] pulls at my heartstrings to some degree, sometimes it makes me wanna cry, sometimes it makes me joyful,” says Glicker, adding that reggae's ability to make people feel emotions is something that draws people to the genre. Within his own music, Glicker focuses on heavy beats and enticing vocals to get the crowd into the music. Satta Don Dada produces mostly reggae, dub, dancehall, and jungle music, as well as hip-hop. He says there aren’t a lot of artists who are mixing vinyl records and producing his style of music, which has helped to set him apart from other DJs. When he is performing as Satta Don Dada, Glicker says he has the ability to read a room and understand what types of music to play, whether it be roots, dub, dancehall, or other related genres of music.

 A Commentary About Your Thoughts and You by Mitch Santell During my time on this planet, I have found that people around you either go to the positive or the negative or they are neutral. These same people either enhance your life or you feel like crap when you are around them. Know what I mean? The reason I have always remained on the positive side is that I have learned to change the narrative. People in your life who don't have excellent coping skills will openly tell you that they don't want to hear any more of your stories. The most intimate story that we share in life is the story that we tell ourself. Now for some of us, we may be called delusional because we have learned the art of "act as if." An example of this would be to act as if "everything is okay" until it is.  Here is something to help shift you: Your thoughts play an important role in shaping your imagination and creating the state of being you want to be in. When we are in the middle of a crappy situation we often take up a negative dialogue in our head. In some ways we think we are solving the situation by creating all these negative scenarios and dramas. Instead we never realize that a negative dialogue creates a negative outcome. Think about it. How would you judge your thoughts right now? Are you hopeful? Loving? Pissed Off? Angry? Trusting? Kind? Hateful? What dialogue is running in your head? If your thoughts are rehashing the past events of your life, or creating negative dramas through worry, doubt or fear you are using your imagination for the negative. In doing this you are creating a state of being that is detrimental to your wellbeing. You can’t learn the lesson and grow if you are wallowing in a negative vibration. To change it, you have to first change your thoughts because you cannot get to a better feeling with lousy thinking. Changing your thoughts requires work. It requires you to be vigilant. Hear a negative thought; change the story. Not only do you have to be cognizant of the dialogues going on the inside, you also have to police the thoughts coming to you from the outside. You are the authority of your thinking and you have to take back your control. The thoughts written on your mind by other people may need to be deleted. Learn to shut down outside opinions and start shifting your thinking. Any story that is creating a negative feeling is not worth repeating over and over again. When we were children we lived a life of mind-sight. We saw the tree and we climbed it. We never rationalized the challenge. Much to the chagrin of our parents, we just did it. In mind-sight thinking, we saw a world of possibilities. As we got older we shifted to eyesight. We looked at the challenges and came up with a multitude of reasons why it couldn’t be done. Our journey to this Planet Earth never came with a promise of smooth sailing. Adversity in your life is part of the path. You have a choice about the thoughts that dwell in your mind and you have a choice about how you go through an experience. See the possibilities. Rise to the challenge and never look back.
