I'm writing about a hot new  Lady Saw song!!

If you're wondering if Lady Saw still does music :)

"Shame on you !!"  (serious face)

But for more than a decade she has been providing anthems for female dancehall lovers world wide

"If di man lef anno my ________ fault"

  "man a di least a mi problem "

 "I got your man an you can't do anything about it"

You get the drift

THE "SPOT " FOR REGGAE IN PITTSBURGH

                                                                                                                      
Patron's who remember the days of Champion Sound Thursdays at AVA Lounge can testify .... 


yeah I said testify ....
 
PEOPLE USED TO BE AT CHAMPION SOUNDS RELIGIOUSLY ON THURSDAYS

   .... testify how much fun reggae can be on a thursday in the 'burgh
 
EVERY WEEK WAS A DIFFERENT FLAVOR

(whether it be the obnoxiousness of Vybz Machine OR the great selections made by Dan Dabber with no sound over the mic)
 
VARIETY was a nice feature of the successful event, every week was different and every week was fun. Ava Lounge was also a very cozy venue which made the event that much better.


       OK THE REMINISCING WAS GREAT....

.......but a Beenie man said,

"Bwoy stop live dung inna di past ....  stop from member when ...... " 

you know the rest :)

so let's

  1. stop talking about Champion Sound Thursdays. How about we talk about CHAMPION THURSDAYZ
  2.  Ain't no reggae at AVA anymore .......
                       
 so why aren't we talking about the "SPOT"
 
 "What 'SPOT' is this???" you may reasonably ask

 WELL TODAY IS YOUR LUCKY DAY! 

 and you can thank PITTSBURGH REGGAE DOT NET [fame :)]

ORIEL'S CONFIDENCE

                "NO NO DEM NAH ........"
             "DEM NAH GO TEK MY STRENGTH...... "
             "NO NO DEM NAH....... "
             "DESTROY MY CONFIDENCE"

 We got a sneak peek of this inspirational ballad by Oriel in the Lamar Clan Studios several months ago.
 Our initial reaction was,

    "HE SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF THE MARLEYS"


            Infectious melodies combined with a near perfect delivery made us all at Pittsburgh Reggae Dat Net believers. 
Something special is happening right here in the burgh.

            "Oriel is on his way to being a major player in reggae music and it will happen as soon as he gets the exposure and recognition he deserves."

            "Oriel a my artist"

            "If da yute ya no buss, mi done wid music"

            "Wait til yu hear 'Down Where I Live'"

            Were some of the comments we heard that day in the studio.



            Over the fall Oriel made a promotional trip to Jamaica (the hub of dancehall/reggae music) and the response was overwhelming.
            I guess Oriel's music has the power to instantly transform average listeners in to fans
            Momentum is building
            The music is spreading
            1000 fans is on its way to being 100,000 fans
            Wiz Khalifa highlighted Pittsburgh on the hip hop scene
            Lets help Oriel highlight Pittsburgh on the reggae scene


            Below is the OFFICIAL VIDEO of CONFIDENCE shot on location in Jamaica by Nordia Rose

REGGAE UNITY ... in Pittsburgh

        
  "2013 appears to be the year or REGGAE UNITY in Pittsburgh," claimed dancehall dj Fudgie Springer smilingly when ask by Pittsburgh Reggae about what to expect on the Pittsburgh Reggae Scene in 2013.


     Springer further elaborated and we learned of a "Sound man/ DJ meeting" held at Taboo late last year. The purpose of the gathering was to bring the key players together and work towards getting the scene back on track.

     To say in 2012 the reggae scene was poor would not necessarily be an accurate statement. We had big reggae artists artists from jamaica here such as Bugle, Elephant man, Junior Reid, Fambo just to name a few, we've have international Djs in town like Gary Chucks, Razz and Biggy, Stone Love . So from an entertainment value standpoint the scene was pretty nice in 2012.


The major problem, however, is that most of our local reggae lovers will be as surprised as you just were when they read the names mentioned in the previous paragraph. So awareness is a huge issue.

Another thing that hindered the scene was favoritism: Some people only going to certain people's parties or just going to parties that a particular sound/dj play. So not only were there a lot of reggae listeners that didn't know about the reggae events but the ones that did were divided.


Compound this with the fact that the reggae crowd always come late (so early people who are unaware will probably leave and not come back) 

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE PITTSBURGH REGGAE SCENE IN 2012 HAD ITS ISSUES


 " TEAM - Together Everyone Achieves More "
 This is a corny overused cliche that us a pittsburgh reggae dat net in this scenario have no problem using.
Reggae Unity in Pittsburgh as agreed upon by members of Vybz Machine, Gangsta Shack, Israel Vibes, Dan Dabber, Levicticus, Green Rose, Force 15, and Whyte Lyon will include


  1. Rotations of the aforementioned DJs at The Spot on Thursdays and at the weekly parties at Taboo.
  2. More frequent guest appearances at BCIF Fridays at Capri
  3. Lots of cross promotion, Djs plugging other peoples events and attending (supporting) other people's events
  4. Favoritism basically solved since the Djs frequently DJ together
  5. Increased flyering and creatives means of increasing the awareness
  6. an improved pittsburghreggae.net

       REGGAE UNITY in Pittsburgh basically improves every single reggae event.

If you are a reggae/dancehall/soca lover. If you appreciate Caribbean music and you live or party in or around the Pittsburgh area we beseech you to join the movement.
More people who are actually into reggae attending our events make reggae parties that much more fun
A bigger fan base gives us the opportunity to bring the biggest and hottest reggae acts to town (who would like to see Mavado or Damian Marley or Popcaan at a party in Pittsburgh?)






                                We remember the days of Safari and Club 822 and even prior to that when DJ Bubbles used to kill it at Frankies and Club 168 but we are also looking forward to the better days and more exciting stories,
If you are into reggae we need you on the team.


 REGGAE UNITY
