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 DJ-oriented 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 617-771-5119 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 longest-running 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 hard-copy 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.

Hopeton "Scientist" Brown and Ranking Joe, two living Jamaican musical legends! The duo will perform an inspiring show less than a week from Pato Banton's sold out show last night. Solano Beach's Belly Up Tavern hosts the cream of the crop in Reggae Music. Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, Third World, Beres Hammond, Marcia Griffiths, Sista Carol, Belly Up always books the best shows! Only challenge, it's just 20 minutes north of San Diego close to two hours drive each way. The train stops right there so you could probably catch an Amtrak out of LA roundtrip. It's worth the drive for your favorites. Besides, always irie vibes in Solana Beach! San Diego is very different than Los Angeles. California is cool. Scientist is the one helping with my studio. I have wanted to write lots and post pictures but he is very humble and from his discography, obviously very busy! Recently, he started his own music network which I have joined up with, Dubmusic dot com. Great for indie promotion and sales. The Scientist Upcoming Shows: July 12 http://www.myspace.com/scientist Hopeton Brown, Jamaica, West Indies Scientist burst onto the reggae scene in the early 70¹s with a reckless mixing style that seemed to outdo even King Tubby¹s wildest extravaganzas. He began his career as an engineer at King Tubby¹s in 1978. Shortly afterwards he became a protege of King Tubby, and swiftly gained a reputation with his unique mixing style. In 1980. In the 70¹s, I started building sound system audio amplifiers. I would then test the amplifier with test instruments to determine how the amplifier was performing. Everything would look normal, but when I played reggae music through the amplifier, it would over heat and the plates of the KT88 would run red, especially when I played a mix from the great King Tubby¹s that had subsonic drum and bass frequencies as well as razor sharp high frequencies I would have to re -bais the KT88 and make other changes in order to accommodate reggae¹s wide frequency response and high slew rate needs.I noticed when I played other types of music the amplifier would respond normal. I found that to be strange so I used King Tubby¹s mixes as a platform to ensure that the amplifiers would not break down under extreme conditions. I was fascinated by his exclusive style of mixing and unique sound effects. It was the ³Roots of Dub² dub album produced by Bunny Lee that became my favorite test album and also inspired me to want to meet him. One day, I was repairing a television for a friend who had worked for King Tubby¹s, we needed a transformer and King Tubby¹s was the only place who had those particular types of transformers I was so excited to meet this brilliant man and considered myself very lucky to have had this opportunity After that, it became a regular place for me to buy special made power and output transformers for the amplifiers that I was building King Tubby¹s became impressed with my electronic skills and abilities at such a young age. I told him I wanted to build a mixing console, at first, it sounded like a joke to him we joked about making mixing consoles with moving faders and automation. Years later it became a realty in Neve¹s moving faders and SSL¹s automation with total recall. How does Reggae music help the electronic industry? Back in the early seventies a lot of radio stations¹ record-mastering plants were scared to play reggae on their equipment because transmitter would over modulate and the record cutting machine would go into protection mode to prevent the high frequencies from burning up the cutting heads. Spider man at Dynamics Studio in Jamaica would have to use extra helium to keep the cutting heads cool. Reggae is like the Indy 500 racing driver to audio equipment whenever an audio system can handle reggae¹s wide frequency response and high slew rate you know you have a good system. Reggae music pushes audio equipment to the extreme. Back in England and Europe Where reggae is more popular, companies like Tanoy, SSL, Neve, Goodman, Studar and all the major brands dominate our recording industry in the US. They have bin using reggae to final test audio equipment long before us in the USA. A few company in the USA like AST audio in New York uses reggae to show off Crown¹s superior performance Crown is one of the best amplifier in the world made in USA when ever I use a Crown amplifier I don¹t have to worry about overheating or the amplifier clipping they can handle a lot of abuse.

Mikey Dread is one of the most influential performers and innovators in reggae music. His abilities, technical expertise, and unique vocal delivery combine to create a unique sound that tells the listener emphatically that it is the "Dread at the Controls." Perhaps Mikey's work with The Clash has garnered him with the most recognition, but his credentials and resume started long before his eye-opening production on several releases with the renowned Punk Stars from London. His work and interaction with The Clash was a significant event in the integration of reggae into popular music throughout the world. The album, "Black Market Clash", is a brilliant fusion of late 1970's punk rock and a heavy reggae bass and drum line. The reggae aspect of The Clash's album distinguished their sound from the other punks that emerged in the 1970's. Soon thereafter, it was a must for just about every punk band to have a reggae cover song on their album. Mikey was the first Producer ever to produce a UK chart hit for The Clash" Bank Robber" and later produced several reggae cuts on their internationally recognized Album "Sandinista." Mikey's avid interest in reggae music led him to acquire an immense collection of crucial vinyl which he used to gain notoriety as a young DJ and audio engineer with the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) where he began his broadcasting career in 1976. There he developed his own unique broadcasting style, which has been adopted by virtually every reggae radio show in Jamaica and the world today. His radio show, which became known as "Dread at the Controls," was firmly established as the Number One Radio Show in Jamaica. Mikey was awarded Top Radio Personality of the Year in 1977-1978 Michael Dread is a man of world diversity and immense resourcefulness. His rhythms have defined reggae and have helped with its global development. From "Pave The Way" to "Breaking Down the Walls", there is a unique blend of rhythms only found in the man that everyone seems to see as "Dread at the Controls". Mikey Dread's origination of reggae broadcast programming has given the world a formula for reggae that has been adopted by DJ's and broadcast networks worldwide. Today Mikey Dread continues his mission taking Reggae music door to door.

For Immediate Release: Monday June 18, 2007 - Sinai Records, Brooklyn, New York: Jamaican Reggae Super Star - Mackie Conscious is true to his name - Conscious with the emphasis on "C". Mackie, based out of Montego Bay Jamaica, is definitely tuned into what is going on in the world. It's apparent that everyday he has JAH works on his mind. This most important factor has made Mackie Conscious one of Jamaica's most sought after "Conscious" Reggae Artist. The release of another international single "The World is in Trouble" is certainly fitting for what's going on around the globe today. Reminiscent of Bob Marley's now famous song "War" - which was recorded more than 30 years ago, yet is still relevant today considering the global wars and strife that we are currently facing. War in Iraq, War in Afghanistan, War in Africa, war in one form or the other. Mackie Conscious' lyrics to the "World being in Trouble" shows his unwavering empathy for people everywhere crying out in agony for peace. Mackie sings, "without Love and Peace you have War". It is evident in Mackie's songs that the work he is doing is being led by JAH. JAH is the source of his inspiration, of his vision to stick to the true Consciousness of Reggae music. To continue to spread "Love, Peace and Unity". "The World Is in Trouble". Mackie shares with us all the need to focus on Peace not War. Jamaica's # 1 Conscious Son -Mackie Conscious is proud to re-introduce the single "The World Is in Trouble". In association with Patrick Robb of Sinai Records.

Goode, a screaming guitar adding to the 'rock and reggae' flavour. His original What If preceded Disciplined Child, on which Mackie Conscious played bass and he ended with the burning 'jacket' question "should I run or should I stay?", members of the audience shouting their opinions on the matter".

What they signed is called the Reggae Compassionate Act in a deal brokered with reggae promoters and Stop Murder Music activists. The act sees the singers pledging to "respect and uphold the rights of all individuals to live without violence due to their religion, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity or gender. The other five murder music artists, as they are being called- Elephant Man, TOK, Bounty Killa, Vybz Kartel and Buju Banton have not signed the Reggae Compassionate Act. The campaign against them continues. These artists have all sang songs that lick out against gays.
