Dancehall Tunnup turned out to be a very nice event last Saturday inside Revival. When I arrived at the venue shortly after 11:00 pm, there was already a steady line up of people outside the doors, many sporting festive moods despite the rain and groggy pre-fall temperatures. I couldn't recall ever being inside Revival before (I'm sure I've been there though), but I immediately took a liking to the venue, a perfect size I thought for the 300 - 350 [...]

This was a decent party - the Pangea Summer Love Urban Beach Festival, taking place Labor Day Long Weekend Sunday September 6th (12 Noon - 11:30 pm) at Wasaga Beach featuring as advertised, two Stages, four genres of music, and a whole bunch of DJ's and Promoters working together to create a cool party vibe. Overall, Pangea was not a bad experience for me, something different and new to end off the summer.  It takes a lot of energy to [...]

As a dancehall journalist I get to see many Reggae shows coming to the Toronto area.  I’ll admit that over the years, I have witnessed the Reggae stage show scene enter into a state of regression in terms of failing to showcase any new or rarely seen before artists, rather there is a high repeat-return factor for the same shows and artists coming to town.  Over the past ten years or so, many artists coming to town are artists that have been [...]

Our ReggaeMania.com team arrived just before 2:00 PM at the Markham Fair Grounds for Jambana 2015 – Day One. The day seemed promising; the weather was holding up – sunny and hot and everything was well organized at the entry gates. Once inside the grounds, surveying the crowd, it seemed a bit sparse, but, it was early still. The festival kicked off at 1:00 PM. Our crew had already missed a few performances, one being, The Human Rights Band. Backstage, [...]

Redemption was another success inside the Sound Academy last Friday May 8th.  A full house turned out to party and experience live performances by General Degree, QQ, and headliner Lady Saw, who did one of her better shows in Toronto without a live band backing her (I did not arrive on time to see QQ, and event though I saw the tail part of General Degree’s show, I did not photograph his performance). Lady Saw is a veteran when it [...]
