Schwarz Summer Takeover
June 30th, 2011
Taking the Summer Jam concept to that next level, Schwarz has set out to make a new Baltimore Club banger every day for the entire month of June. His marathon is almost over but the 30 tunes he’s dropping will keep your speakers slapping forever (or until this super prolific DJ makes a winter mix). GIGGLE is a highlight collaboration with out-there MC, Juiceboxxx and is available along with the other 29 tracks on Schwarz’ Soundcloud.
Vybz in the Fader Now Online
June 29th, 2011
For those of you who haven’t grabbed the print copy, Vybz Kartel’s Fader cover story is now available to read online. Eddie ‘Stats’ Houghton may have chased Vybz around Kingston for that elusive interview, but he got a comprehensive run-down of Di Teacha, from bleaching to The Building, Kingston Story to Kingston Jamboree.
Kartel seems to have become more or less the proud new owner of dancehall itself, guaranteed to have not only the top tune on any given week, but the top five tunes. I remember his New York debut at an Elephant Man release party at BK’s Night Club in 2002. Dark-skinned and bony, dressed Brooklyn-style in baggy jeans, throwback, doo-rag and fitted, the room exploded when he touched the mic. Because even though his face was unknown in New York, his couplets were already hood-famous.
