Reggae class is in session and Professor is dropping some knowledge on their second release Throw Down Your Arms. This live show CD/DVD recorded in France at the Sun Ska Festival, features all the songs from Professor's first 2011 release Madness. Professor is the side project of Groundation's lead vocalist Harrison Stafford and an all-star cast of Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, Earl "Flabba Holt" Carter, Loyd "Obeah" Denton and Dalton Browne. Stafford's unique voice is the same but the music is a bit simpler than...
I want to label the new self-titled Seeed album as European-industrial-dub, or maybe electronic-future-reggae. It's what R2D2 would jam if he ate a weed cookie. This trippy twelve track record has German club energy that's been warped and twisted under the weight of haunting, raspy horns. It sounds like what you'd hear If you stumbled into a post-apocalyptic dancehall club in Berlin: undead Peter Fox, Boundzound, and the rest of the Seeed crew making some zombie asses pop. I personally thought Seeed was finished but...
![Soothsayers - The Streets of London [Premiere]](/thumbs/post/320x152/reggae5.png)
"The Streets of London" was recorded by Ralph McTell in 1974. Almost 40 years later, London's Soothsayers are breathing new life into the same song for a compilation record entitled London's Calling. Soothsayers use smooth, laid-back three-part harmonies to transform this soulful track into a...
![Seeed - Beautiful [Video]](/thumbs/post/320x152/seeed.png)
I switched to the German iTunes store to download the new Seeed EP Beautiful that dropped yesterday. I don't know any German so I just guessed and clicked 'musik' then 'kaufen'. Kunderbewertungen? Hmm . . . hell if I know. Google translate tells me that I can't get this song in the good ol' US of A...

Originally released with an animated lyric video earlier this year, Major Lazer insanely infectious single "Get Free", which feature Dirty Projectors' vocalist Amber Coffman now has its own official to boot. Released back in April of this year, the single has proven to be easy remix fodder and...
"Fuck the industry—We out to take this shit over. We make music for the streets… PGM is a platform for the people’s voice." That's sound-chemist DJ Child who started Project Groundation Massive in 2003 and since then has produced too many mixtapes, original albums and projects to even begin...
![Good People - Afterhours [Premiere]](/thumbs/post/320x152/girl-window-sexy15.png)
Good People, the mysterious duo out of Toronto, have just dropped their debut album exclusively through EARMILK called Afterhours. I couldn't think of a more fitting title for this 8 track journey that takes us through so many emotions that it would be useless to try to classify the release within...
In honor and celebration of Jamaica's 50th independence anniversary today, Damian Marley, Tarrus Riley, Wayne Marshall and TOK released "Independence" - a dancehall play on the Jamaican national anthem that questions the true meaning of independence. Conscious reggae music as a tool for social...
