A Commentary by Mitch Santell on the Launch of Big Reggae Mix

There can be no more significant satisfaction than bringing two creative minds together who love Reggae.

Watching Scott and Errol interact at live events is an event in itself.  Not only do Scott & Errol have a deep, profound passion for the reggae genre, but they are also both almost obsessive about it, and this is an excellent thing for YOU, our listener.

As many of you now know, Big Reggae Mix happily celebrated our 5th year of Streaming Top Shelf Reggae 24/7 on November 5, 2019, at our Studio in San Diego to the Global Community of Reggae Enthusiasts.​

​Now entering our 6th year on the air, I'll be sharing you some of the fantastic people stories and locations that have come across our path since our launch in 2014.

From my perspective, having started as a talk radio host in 1994 then moving on to producing in 1995 and then independent Syndicating in 1996, it has been a wild journey.

The world of streaming music that we live in now did not exist when I started in the radio business.
Picture
Not only has the online world of music changed since the initial introduction of the iPod and iTunes, but streaming had also changed over and over again since 2014 when we first went on air.

“Music knows no boundaries,” announced David Rodigan on Alborosie's debut album. “Music is an international force, an international language. From Sicily to Kingston, Jamaica, this is Alborosie. Real, authentic reggae music.”

Twelve years later and the Sicilian-born Alborosie headlines festivals around the world and has earned the respect of the entire reggae industry. A talented writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist who sings as well as deejays, he’s lived in Kingston for over a decade and is now a leading light of Jamaica's resurgent music scene thanks to a series of widely acclaimed albums on Greensleeves.
 
The latest is Unbreakable: Alborosie Meets The Wailers United, released on June 29th and that's shared with members of Bob Marley's former backing band The Wailers.

Scott T. Brown with Alika at BahiaFest in San Diego 2019

She's a worthy representative of the Latin American dancehall scene, an iconic figure of the fight against injustices and violence in the Argentine and Latin American "barrios"…
Alika started her career in 1994 with a band, but she quickly took wing and set up a solo career which leaded herself beyond her expectations! Recognized too as an hip hop artist, Alika wakes the reggae world in Argentina with engaged lyrics, breathtaking energy and remarkable stage presence. A Molotov cocktail which almost crossed the entire planet !

Even the genius Mad Professor started to be interested by this woman with a bright future! He produced her 5th album in 2009, a jewel which convinced the genre experts and permitted her to expend her talent in all over the world.

Her charisma and presence on stage have allowed her to take her show to festivals, theaters, clubs, schools, hospitals and even prisons in different cities arround the world—including Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, Peru, Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, United States of America. France, Spain and Andorra.—marking a truly amazing career for someone who to this day remains an independent artist.
​

Her tune ¨Yo Tengo el don¨ Feat. Tito y La Liga is included in the soundtrack of videogame GRAND THEFT AUTO V.

E.N. Young Performs @BahiaFestival Oct. 19, 2019

Bahia Festival is turning out to be an amazing day. Scott T. Brown, our program director and the Co-founder of Big Reggae Mix sent me the picture above as he was grooving  the vibes in San Diego. 

Picture
E.N. Young & Scott T. Brown Oct. 19, 2019 at BahiaFest in San Diego

E.N. Young born Ian Allan Young, is a roots musician born and raised on the  USA/Mexico border in San Diego, California. E.N started playing piano at age 6, which was the beginning of his musical life. His parents bought him a white upright Samick Piano that he still records and plays on today. At age 12, he broke his left arm and the doctor recommended some physical activity to help recover. In response, his father bought him a drum set to help with his recovery. Not only did it help physically but E.N found a passion for percussion and drums. With his new drumming talent, he reinvented himself on the piano and his musical world was revealed. 

Reggae music has always been a part of E.N Young's life. Growing up with his brothers, Manuel and Mike'Chunky Roots' Marquez, reggae was around and the influence was strong. Daily, E.N and his brothers would search for the next reggae tune that caught their ears and lose themselves within the reggae vibes. Now, E.N is more involved in the reggae scene than ever imagined. Not only has he established a name for himself as an individual artist but also as a writer and producer.

E.N started performing when he was 15 years old and in 2002 he became a member of the band Stranger. As a band they put out four studio albums and toured on the West coast, including Guam and Hawaii; which led them to win the San Diego Music Award in 2009. In 2005, E.N Young met Bonita/Chula Vista locals, Roots Covenant and backed 30+ Jamaican artists. In 2010 E.N began pushing his solo career by releasing his first debut album ‘Luck & Chance No More’ under his new label, Roots Musician Records, May 1 2010. He became the first artist under RMR and began to tour as a solo artist. Along his musical path, he has played onstage with many influential reggae artists including Quino Big Mountain, Devastators, Johnny Clarke, Triston Palma, Sammy Dread, Heptones, Everton Blender, Jah Batta, Michael Palma, Sister Nancy, Edi Fitzroy, Anuhea, Tamarama, Stranger, Carlton Livingston, Don Carlos, Slightly Stoopid, the Abyssinians, Clear Conscience, Eek A Mouse, English Man, Gonzo, Tribal Seeds, Milton Henry and more.

San Diego — 

​Written by Lilia O' Hara (Union Tribune) 
October 18, 2019


Music is very close to the Latin heart.

The genres that Hispanics enjoy cover a wide variety. One of them is reggae, the classic, dance-friendly Jamaican style that will be the focus of Saturday’s debut edition of San Diego Bahía Fest. It will take place at Embarcadero Marina Park North, across from Seaport Village.

The lineup includes Latin reggae bands from several countries. Mike Beltran, one of the festival’s organizers, believes there are enough Latinx Reggae fans in Southern California and Baja California to make it pay off to bring such acts as Culutra Profética from Puerto Rico, Rawayana from Venezuela and Alboroise from Jamaica to perform at Saturday’s 21-and-up event.

Bahia Fest is not just for Latinos, according to Beltran, who hopes the event will draw as many as 5,000 attendees.


“We are focusing on all fans of reggae music, because reggae is the world’s music,” he said. “There isn’t another genre that comes close to it in the ways that it unites people from all cultures. The purity of the beats and rhythms of reggae music transcend language boundaries to the point that, regardless of what language the music is sung in, the soul communicates, not just the tongue.”

Beltran added that in his travels to Brazil, Peru, Costa Rica and throughout Mexico, reggae music is the most common musical genre.

“In every corner of the Americas, from the smallest fishing village to the biggest concrete jungle, you can hear reggae music or find a reggae music fan,” he said.
Saturday’s lineup will also include Tijuana’s Somos Uno, along with Alikla, E.N. Young and Leilani Wolfgramm. In addition to music, an array of food and drink options will be available.

Apple's iTunes Shift

A Commentary On The  Erasing Of iTunes by Mitch Santell

The day finally is here. Take a deep breath. Who am I writing this too? I am writing this to all of those DJ's out there that rely 100% on iTunes to track their library of music.

iTunes is to a Mac or a Windows 10 system sort of the ultimate place to archive both current and old music.

Our Station Run's on Windows while all of our Social Media and Web site are equally on the Macintosh side of things.

For so many of us, we have had a real love-hate realtionship with iTunes over the years.
Picture
Many online publications are suggesting that DJ's wait until Apple has a fix. I felt it was important to share this now before you wonder where all your files went.

Apple’s macOS Catalina update is a big problem for DJs who relied on iTunes

Apple recommends users avoid Catalina until developers update their apps


Apple’s latest desktop operating system update, macOS Catalina, will mark the official end of iTunes after nearly two decades. But that transition is proving to be complicated for a certain subset of Mac users who’ve relied on the software to help manage their jobs: DJs.

According to Apple, along with Catalina’s removal of iTunes, users are also losing XML file support as all native music playback on Macs moves over to the official Music app, which has a new library format. XML file support is a popular organizational feature for DJs who use it to sort tracks into playlists and utilize the “Share iTunes Library XML with other applications” option to seamlessly transmit data between apps.

iTunes For Windows 10 Shall Remain in 2019.

What happens to iTunes on Windows?

iTunes was so popular and big that many people did and still do use it with Windows, so it begs the question how iTunes shutting down in macOS would affect those users using the software on other platforms. According to Ars Technica, they asked Apple at WWDC and there's wasn't a ton of information.

"Apple says users of iTunes under Microsoft Windows will not see any changes. It won't be broken up into several apps; it will work just like it does now. However, Apple did not provide any clarification about what support will be like for future features."

It appears for right now, iTunes in Windows will remain unaffected, but there's no clear indication of how long iTunes will continue to be supported on other platforms, now that Apple has decided to kill off the program for its own operating system.

Ziggy Marley Honored For Israel Support

10/8/2019

When I saw this I had to share it by Mitch Santell

Bob Marley's legacy continues on a daily, weekly and yearly basis through his children and grandchildren.


Jamaican singer Ziggy Marley, the son of late reggae icon Bob Marley, reaffirmed his support for Israel at a recent event in Los Angeles.

Marley was presented with the inaugural special artist’s award for peace at the Creative Community for Peace’s 2nd annual “Celebrating Ambassadors of Peace” gathering. The non-profit, entertainment industry organization is dedicated to promoting music and the arts “as a bridge to peace, while supporting artistic freedom, and countering the cultural boycott of Israel,” according to its website.


While accepting his award on stage, Marley said his bond with Israel started in his teens through the help of his mother and father, whose own father was Jewish. He also addressed efforts by BDS supporters to have artists cancel their concerts in Israel.

“I’ve been going to Israel since I was a teenager…Israel was a storybook place for us. We felt a connection to it through our father, through our beliefs,” he said. “I’ve been going back ever since. We don’t play in Israel for political reason, we play for the people [to] spread our message of justice, love and peace for all people… Going to Israel for me is no problem because we go for the people, not the politics.”

Marley has received pressure by anti-Israel activists in the past to boycott the Jewish state, but said in 2015 that he would never stop supporting the country, “[n]o matter what anybody says or does.”

Percy Harvin Is A Hero To The Cannabis Community

10/7/2019

0 Comments

 
A Story Sent To Us for Sharing by Mitch Santell

​This story is yet another example of how Cannabis can provide a benefit to a person who chooses to use it.


Former NFL star Percy Harvin claimed he never played a game without smoking marijuana first.

Harvin played for multiple squads during his career, and starred on the Seahawks Super Bowl team with Russell Wilson and the legendary Legion of Boom. He famously housed the second half kickoff against the Broncos. Apparently, smoking weed was his way to relax for games.

“There’s not a game I played in that I wasn’t high,” Harvin told Master Tesfatsion in a video segment released Wednesday. He added that marijuana was the only thing that “seemed to work” when it came to battling his anxiety, despite being prescribed pills to help.

He also discussed the infamous Golden Tate fight before the Super Bowl, and discussed how they “locked up.”
