Shaggy, Super Cat & Maxi Priest Make it a Night Flight!

Traveling as much as you do, you know that daytime travel is hectic; families with crying children want to get to their destination faster (and sometimes to the annoyance of fellow travelers), people talking on their phone at volumes that are offensive, and, airport staff are irritable because they have to deal with stressed out passengers which combined makes daytime travel hard, until you take a “Night Flight!”

Evening travel means less traffic, a relaxed experience, and most times going to an exotic destination with your honey according to Shaggy, Maxi Priest and Super Cat!

Super Cat Sing-Jays:  “I say the Dada have to leave her pon a late flight / a late flight / pon a late flight / fih go ram dih Reggae music Dancehall til it ram tight / ram tight / till it ram tight / and mih movin like a jack and mih tell yuh inna dih dark night / dih dark night / inna dih dark night / sippin on some Chardonay ….”

This HOTTT new Lover’s Rock chune is set at 90 BPM and has a groove that you can’t help but sway to as you look your lover in the eye while drinking wine.  Produced by Sting International Productions, and with contributions from Sly & Robbie and Lenky Marsden, this is a definite must add to your playlist, but only if you’re a Lover!

P.S.  This song is track 17 on Shaggy’s album Out of Many One Music XL Edition which has been nominated for the 2015 Grammy for Best Reggae Album.  Make sure you buy the track on iTunes

Rico Vibes Reggae Exclusives Vol. 15

Last month, Rico Vibes, in conjunction with VP Records, released the Strictly the Best Vol. 50 mixtape which so far has enjoyed more than 35,000 downloads worldwide which includes hotspots in the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Kenya and Switzerland.  Rico’s fans reached out to him and asked for more, so, customer service being his focus, the super HOTTT Selector passed by to drop off two new mixes which are certified HOTTT!

The first mix on deck is Reggae Exclusives Vol. 15.  Introduced by Gramps Morgan, Tarrus Riley and Freddie McGregor, this mix features music that has not been heard before.  There is no talking so listeners can enjoy straight music.  The second mix is for fans who prefer Dancehall flavor – Winter style!

No matter what your preference (Reggae or Dancehall), you will enjoy both mixes!  Here are the links:

Sound System Culture Profiled in Documentary - Huddersfield, UK!

Host DJ David Katz is proud to present a special screening of Mandeep Samra’s documentary film ‘Sound System Culture’, celebrating the sound systems of Huddersfield. followed by DJ sets from Al Fingers, the London-based DJ, producer, author and book

publisher, alongside the night’s regular host, David Katz, playing roots reggae and foundation dancehall, original vinyl style. The mass immigration of Jamaicans in the 1950s and 60s brought the culture of the sound system to the UK, where it made a dramatic impact in unexpected places. The film Sound System Culture thus charts the untold history of reggae music and sound systems in the northern town of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. The town hosted many of the biggest names in reggae music, including singers, bands, and sound systems, throughout the 1970s and ‘80s. Many artists would insist on playing at Huddersfield’s Venn Street when arranging a UK tour, due to the size of the crowd in attendance and the legendary northern hospitality. The documentary revisits an era when Jamaicans played their music at dances in the Venn Street nightclub, which helped put Huddersfield on the British reggae map. 

The film screening will begin at 8pm sharp (running time: 35 minutes), followed by DJ sets until midnight. We expect another packed house for this event so come early to avoid disappointment! http://soundsystemculturehuddersfield.tumblr.com /http://www.alfingers.com/ http://www.facebook.com/dubmealways
