Blood and Fire Cover

20 YEARS AFTER ITS FIRST RELEASE Enlisting Co-Founder and A&R Steve Barrow

Founded in Manchester, England – Blood and Fire has been reissuing roots reggae, dub and DJ albums with a jazz-influenced packaging aesthetic since the early 90s. 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of its first release (If Deejay Was Your Trade: The Dreads at King Tubby’s 1974-1977) and VP Records has teamed up with the revered label for a strategic relaunch.
They will re-release 10 to 12 Blood and Fire collections with additional content and updated packaging this year. Also, the label plans to launch a merchandise line with the B&F logo and select album cover art, which will be bundled in collectable re-issue packages.
VP enlisted esteemed reggae historian and A&R Steve Barrow, who is one of Blood and Fire’s original founders, to oversee the album’s compiling, mastering and packaging and ensure that the product remains synonymous to the brand. He will be handling original B&F catalogue reissues with additional titles new to Blood and Fire.
”I look forward to working and continuing the fruitful relationship with VP Records, who have played a pivotal role in the production of reggae music since the early 1960s in Jamaica” states Barrow on the new collaboration.
Upholding a similar standard in presentation to classic jazz labels like Blue Note, Blood and Fire evokes Jamaican culture with simplicity and truth, providing top-quality archival recordings with superior packaging and design. They were the first reissue label to form a traveling sound system and tour with artists featured on their releases. Blood and Fire was also an early adapter in serving the online reggae community, providing one of the genre’s most active message boards to date.
”Blood and Fire presented reggae with premium quality and care as well as revived the careers of many unsung producers and performers,” says Chris Chin, CEO of VP Records. -We respect and admire the Blood and Fire brand and are delighted to be working together- .
The first release, available on Record Store Day (April 19th, 2014), will be a limited edition 12″ of Gregory Isaacs ”Mr. Know It All” in a B&F sleeve with inner fascimile sleeve of the original Jamaican 12″ single. This vinyl-only release will be followed by the first batch of titles from the B&F catalogue in various formats.

Melloquence Collaborates With Elephant Man On New Single ‘Hold Me’

Postat av Reggay den

IMG_92962014 looks very promising so far for rising dancehall star Melloquence who has been steadily

paving his way in the industry with releases on some of dancehall’s more popular rhythms since

last year,namely:  JA Production’s “OverDrive Rhythm” and the Frastwinz Music produced “Starizma

Rhythm”.

January saw the singjay releasing a medley music video for his songs  Hot Suh/Starizma (Star

life) on the above mentioned projects and already he’s set to release another music video. This time

for a collaboration effort with international dancehall super star Elephant Man entitled ‘Hold Me’.

Melloquence explained— Hold Me isn´t officially released yet, It  got big rotation on Carribbean  island’s

major radio stations including Zip 103 Fm,Irie Fm and Suncity Fm etc,:  over the past few weeks and with

the music video slated to be released this weekend both artists are confident, this will probality be the single

to become  higher heights. Hold Me’ is one of those songs that DJ can play

in a dance and get the females to ‘bruk out’ and at the same time it’s radio friendly and commercial

enough to be played at a family event and buss the place as well, it’s just a feel good  song, and right now the

music needs that–. Elephant Man — on the other hand thinks it’s refreshing and

credits this release as a strategic one, right now the girls dem need some songs like these. This is a breath of

fresh air,  furthermore It´s carnival season now so the girls dem want dance he concurred–.

The video was shot by Inna Wi Genes Filmz at the Board Walk Beach in Portmore and edited by

Cashflow’s Extreme Arts and features cameos from some of dancehall’s top female dancers and video

vixens including DHQ Nickiesha and Queen Latesha to name a few .

The single is produced by the European-based Weedy G SoundForce’ label and will be distributed by

VP Records.

I-Octane My Journey

Postat av Reggay den

New York, NY (FOX FUSE) – Jamaican reggae star I-Octane reveals the track list and launch details for his highly-anticipated upcoming album My Journey, available worldwide in stores and online on March 4, 2014 from DJ Frass/Tad’s Record. Born Byiome Muir in Clarendon, Jamaica, I-Octane has been carving his niche in the reggae realm since hitting the scene over 5 years ago. A collaborative effort with his long-time friend and producer Andre “DJ Frass” Gordon, My Journey is a 16-track masterpiece that delves inside the soul and sound of this prolific artist, whose innate talents, conscious lyrical offerings and high-energy performances remain unparalleled.

“I want this album to help people to realize that we all have more in common than we are different,” reveals I-Octane. “We all go through the same types of things and experience love, joy, pain and suffering in our own ways. I hope that once people realize this, it will be easier to see each other as brothers and sisters and to genuinely love each other.”

Staying true to his signature sound that fuses velvety vocals and memorable hooks over catchy rhythms, My Journey lives up to its name as all tracks are penned by the multi-faceted entertainer, with a few singles co-written by producer DJ Frass. The first single, “Love You Like I Do,” has been receiving massive fanfare and radio play, at home and on reggae platforms worldwide. Its beautifully crafted, vintage-styled video was also released and is currently in steady rotation on television channels. The ambitious album also features reggae stars Gentleman on “It’s Alright” and Ky-Mani Marley on “A Yah Wi Deh,” while songstress Alaine takes a turn on the inspirational duet, “Lighters Up.”

“The Almighty has allowed certain things to happen to me so that I can learn, and then others can take from my experiences and apply those lessons to their own lives,” discloses I-Octane. “The music is just my vehicle of passing on my message. That is what reggae music is all about – spreading messages about love and life to help and uplift our brothers and sisters.”

The entire album was produced by reggae and dancehall hit-maker DJ Frass, with whom Jamaican imprint Tad’s Record teams up to deliver I-Octane’s latest work of love to the masses. “His musical journey is worth distributing,” states Tad Dawkins, President of Tad’s Record. “He is a youthful and refreshing sound in reggae, and his ability to transcend that without controversy into dancehall is deserving of high accolades. Like his name suggests, I-Octane is a high flame in the reggae/dancehall industry and we are privileged to be working with him and DJ Frass on this great project.”

The album release event is set to take place in Kingston, Jamaica on March 6 at Chris Gayle’s Triple Century Sports Bar (69 Knutsford Boulevard, New Kingston, Jamaica). Hosted by radio personality Big A from Jamaica’s top radio station Irie-FM, the program will run from 7PM to midnight and will feature I-Octane introducing the album to media and fans, followed by a full performance. Numerous local and Caribbean media outlets will be in attendance, along with mainstream music’s most acclaimed trade publication Billboard Magazine, which will be journeying to Jamaica to cover the exciting new release from this reggae music ambassador.

I-Octane recently won two top prizes at Jamaica’s Youth View Awards (held on February 1, 2014 in Kingston), where he nabbed Favorite Local Music Video for “Happy Time” and Favorite Music Collaboration of the Year for “It’s a Celebration,” featuring Konshens, Chris Martin and Ding Dong. He is now making the rounds on the international circuit, touring and introducing his new album to audiences far and wide, as he takes the entire world on his journey.
