I've been in touch with many of you over the years, either individually to follow up on mailings of Dub Station or Abijah product or as part of my larger, global transmissions of the KRucial Reggae eMag(s). Now I'm taking on new clients who need direct access to DJ's the world over: you are on a list of over 600 from every (habitable) continent. I want this newsletter to not just be promotional, but to be a voice for you to speak to one another, and the larger industry. Hence the word "Choice." It's not just important to acknowledge the options (and power) you have over the music you play, but the individuality each of you bring to the business, which I'd like to learn more about. So please read over the Questionnaire below, and get back to me with as many answers as you have time for (just cut and paste them into your response): to ReggaePR@aol.com. QUESTIONNAIRE do you prefer to be contacted by phone or email? do you prefer to receive hard copy mailings or MP3's electronically? do you like digital delivery services like AirPlay Direct or RadioDirectX, have any you recommend? do you mind unsolicited emails/mailings, or prefer to be contacted in advance about items being sent you? would you open unsolicited emails from bands with MP3/attachments? do you prefer getting information from publicists, are there any radio promotion people you recommend? do you know of, or can you say anything about how or if Payola plays a part in the broadcasting industry? is your station a CMJ reporter, what do you think of the whole CMJ charting machinery? what is the size of your listening audience, how do you measure that? can you tell us about the live reggae scene in your area, any clubs or promoters you recommend? do you keep and service an emailing list, and would you be willing to share it? do you keep & send out playlists, would you be comfortable taking the time to prepare a written review? what is the order of your preferred genres: Dancehall; JA Roots; Ska (including new school); 'Foreign Culture' (US, VI, international reggae bands); UK Reggae...am I missing any? do you seek out dub plates, and if so, who do you recommend as a broker, or do you go straight to the artist? I know it depends, but we'd like to get some information about how you do your thing... are there any DJ Pools or DJoriented web sites you belong to, recommend? how do you think internet radio has impacted conventional radio broadcasting? what are your favorite internet Reggae radio stations? are you, would you consider becoming, an internet broadcaster? are there any topics you'd like to write about in a brief article for this newsletter? are there any topics I've overlooked, that you think should be included in this type of Questionnaire? are there any services you think are not being offered out there, that we could facilitate the provision of? Your answers to all the above are really important to us, so please take a minute to get back to us. We want you to look forward to future transmissions of Selectors Choice, and to respect our choice of artists to work with (as we do). We look forward to developing our relationship with you! Contact Info: Contact: Kyle Russell 6177715119 PO Box 440263 Somerville, MA 02144 Background Services Available I founded Rhythm Music Magazine, now Global Rhythm, 15 years ago, in an attempt to support Reggae as part of the World Music movement. Being more interested in Reggae specifically, I've pursued a career (now away from print publishing) in Production (several albums produced with various teams & artists); Performance (personally backing numerous acts, including Junior Kelly, Everton Blender, Frankie Paul, Lady Saw, and many more); and Promotion (in charge of the longestrunning Sunday Reggae Promotion in the U.S.). Now I want to reach out further, for myself and the clients I do and will be representing. Hence my working the eMailing list I've diligently built (over that past 10 years) to just over 7,000 names internationally. Also, I have an evolving web site www.Reggae4i.com which gets over 10,000 visitors monthly, and will increasingly adapt to the new works I'm undertaking. I offer the following services, which may be of use to you or someone you know, please recommend me and do keep in touch... 1. CAREER CONSULTING: assessments of where you're at, what you've done, where you want to be. What lessons have you learned and which steps need to be taken. 2. PUBLIC RELATIONS: everything from graphic design and rewriting your bio & press releases to creating your own newsletter, or getting on board with OUR various newletters (regional promos, "Singers & Players," the global Krucial Reggae eMag, "Selectors Choice"). I also work with a print media publicist. 3. MAILING LIST MANAGEMENT: whether hardcopy mailing of flyers or managing your emailing list, we have the technology & staff to maintain, build, and "clean" your elists of bad addresses, allowing you to focus more on the part that matters most to you: making music. Again, there may be something I'm missing something you're missing – that you wish someone could help you with. Please be in touch with any ideas, suggestions, or recommendations. In Future Issues... We'll probably be resending the Questionnaire in hopes of collecting more and more answers from different DJ's and we'll let you know what others are saying. We'll continue to offer an evolving menu of services, in hopes of meeting your needs, and we'll let you know how www.Reggae4i.com is developing to represent our various clients better. We'll be doing artist spotlights, introducing or broadening your understanding of people we work with, possibly with MP3's included in future emails, or by directing you to sites & services where you can get the music (of course we're always open to requests for hard copy mailings as well). ...and anything else y'all come back at us with, so please Reply and KEEP IN TOUCH.

I'd like to let everyone know that my friend and cohost Professor Skank (and longtime RAW member) is on the air for the final time doing "Positive Vibrations" this Saturday night, June 30, before he relocates to Hawaii. This show marks the end of a long chapter and the beginning of a new one. I encourage you: Listen in! Call up the Professor (314664FM88) and show him some reggae love / wish him well in his new circumstances. Professor Skank has done "Positive Vibrations" since 1992 on KDHX 88.1 FM, a 43,000 watt community radio station serving the St. Louis, Missouri area. The show (founded by Craig Tabor & Joe Striker) has aired every Saturday since 1987. "Positive Vibrations" airs from 8 10 p.m. central time every Saturday; the station streams live and archives shows for two weeks. Check it at http://www.kdhx.org When I was in my first deepdeep reggae immersion period in the early to mid1990s, Professor Skank was one of the many people I looked to as a reggae mentor. I made tapes of radio shows that he did with Joe Striker on KDHX (little did I know that I would join the program myself in 1997, the same year I joined RAW), and I was gifted with many a reggae mix tape by the man. Those mix tapes, which I still own and turn to, showed the Professor's predilection for compilations he would produce years later, the Crucial Reggae from Outside Jamaica series (now with three volumes, enthusiastically embraced by reggae people worldwide) under his own imprint, Skank Productions. His label has also released wellreviewed albums by Ossie Dellimore and Maimon & Mongoose Band. (See www.skankproductions.com http://www.skankproductions.com> for more.) Professor Skank has given considerable time and expended much volunteer energy toward the promotion of reggae music in St. Louis and far, far beyond. He's contributed to community radio in St. Louis for 15 years a time when independent media has operated in an environment dominated by corporate media and he's done many a great radio show. Big up and good luck to him.

NEBO RECORDS" Organization: Mt. Nebo Records IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Washington, DC Ez Benjamin / 2023212263 / contactus@mtneborecords.com In this Chinese calendar year of prosperity, the summer offers our coiffures much to give thanks for. An "Elixir," a healing in the way of a musical offering by the empress called Malika Madremana (SisterMother) has arrived. A followup to her solid debut album Healing, Malika's second offering makes a solid statement that the conscious female perspective and voice is needed in the music industry at large. With music produced and composed by producer Ayegee Gordon of Greensphere Records, "Elixir" showcases the joyful, critical and expressive reasonings from this Hispanic songstress with astonishing results. Malika's style and vocal tone is unmistakable. Her dynamic voice has been well sought by many in the recording business. She has vocally blessed productions featuring Apple Gabriel, Groundation, Batch, Roots Natty, Wadi Gad, Bambu Station, Blaak Lung and others. An artist in the fullest sense, Malika is also a painter, sculptor, photographer and dancer in addition to her demanding duties as a middle school teacher. A remarkable woman indeed. Malika's "Elixir" is comprised of 16 tracks that register with the human experience from "You Fly" to "Why You Wanna Claim Me Now" to the vibrant "Jungle Fever" with Ras Attitude. The song "The Vessel" is reggae in it's very rootical form, skanking and dread. Guest musicians include Kenyatta Itola, Batch, Tuff Lion and others. Track to track, this entire album should generate enough energy and interest to see this sister appear on many Reggae Festivals this summer and time to come. Already scheduled for the world famous Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in California on June 24th, music lovers should look for and request her appearance on festivals from Florida to California and help bring the outstanding works of the female energy to stages worldwide.
