Luis Haseth French latin sound with a crazy salsa club twist from the Latino king. From Paris to Cali, from salsa to reggeaton, Luis Haseth is giving us all his love of music. Heat and Latin spirit are melting with afro-Caribbean rhythm. Esclavo Moderno is full of Latin lyrics and Latin culture and from real life in South America. It’s a hymn about tolerance and sharing. Luis invites us to go into a new musical world. Luis Haseth, a young Columbian salsero (arrived in France aged 17) shared the scene with the greatest Latin artists. He began with Yuri Buenaventura, then became a member of bands as famous as the Paris Latin salsa, Raul Paz, Orlando Poléo, El barrio, and learned how to be a complete artist. He’s regrouping in Esclavo moderno, with the richness of his experience and history; he has managed to create his own unique style.

MAKAiA Philippe Makaïa, tambour battant Faithful towards the ancestral tradition Sitting on his Ka drum, Philippe Makaïa is gifted with an exceptional sense of rhythm and improvisation. He belongs to those, whom, by their intimate knowledge of the Gwoka music, can lighten your daily burden. His music tugs your body and soul. He remains faithful to the Gwoka, although he mixes tradition and modernity. This complete art invented at the Guadeloupean sugar cane and coffee plantations by the slaves dragged out of Africa. Philippe Makaïa didn’t choose the drum, it was literally imposed to him. In the 70th, at his fourteen’s, he could be seen at Morne-à-l’Eau,(his place of birth) beating the seven fundamental rhythms of the Gwoka on a Ka, for hours and hours.

Gregory Isaacs Gregory ‘The Cool Ruler’ Isaacs is probably the most famous reggae artist alive today. It was in 1973, when he set up his own record label ‘African Museum’ with fellow singer Errol Dunkley, that he released ‘My Only Lover’, which was an immediate success. Between 1973 and 1976 Isaacs released more material than most artists do in a lifetime and nearly all of these works became classics. He soon became too big a talent to ignore and in 1978 joined the Virgin ‘Frontline’ label, where he released two more distinctive albums, namely the brilliant ‘Cool Ruler’ and ‘Soon Forward’. After his departure from Virgin, circa 1980, Isaacs cut several tracks with Sly & Robbie for their ‘Taxi’ label. It was around this time that Island Records signed the star and recorded some of his biggest hits to date. In his long and distinguished career, Gregory has worked with every great producer and fellow artist. ‘The Cool Ruler’ he remains.

Slic One Debut album from U.S. rapper Slic One beautifully produced by OD Hunte. Sean or ‘Jyawn’ as he’s known to his friends has delivered a heavy debut album, which separates itself from the pack with it’s sticky hooks, musical diversity and (unheard of in this day and age of hip hop) lack of samples on the album. The hit single “ Private Gansta” however borrows famously from the Tina Turner classic “ Private Dancer” written by Dire Strait’s Mark Knopfler. But before you dismiss Slic One as another wannabe G you need to listen to the tales of finding love after a show “Raindropz”, warnings to hustlers “Wake Up Call” and of the dream-story of figuring a way to make ends on the Jodeciesq “Black Out”. The track 'Crook Dancin' was this year commissioned by EA Sports game 'Fight Night Round 3' at ringside with the likes of Obie Trice & Akon. Born to Nigerian parents, Slic One grew up in the US. Mr Bello expected much from his son and perhaps it was all these pressures that caused Slic to drop out of High School…

This debut album is in a class of its own, taking the listener on a musical journey from blissful dubbed-out soulful grooves to more cinematic scores. Having met through mutual friends in their native Hornchurch, Jointventure’s Mat Hoxby and Mark Crooks found common ground with their interests and musical backgrounds (both having been reared on a stable diet of Reggae and Ska), it was only a matter of time before they ventured into the studio. Their first joint project was the cult underground six-piece band Sound Cartel – fusing electronic funk and punk with a touch of psychedelia or to quote Mark’s “skunkdupgangsterpunkfunk”. Eventually the members of the band started to drift; yet Mat & Mark decided to continue as a duo and Jointventure was born. This debut album ‘Headshop’ is in a class of its own, taking the listener on a musical journey from blissful dubbed-out soulful grooves to more cinematic scores. The name ‘Headshop’ was inspired by the 1960’s term ‘heads’ which was used to describe people who…
