ONE ROOT  :

These musicians from Brussels met in 2000, while playing in a collective project named "Black Mystic Erotic", based on improvisation and composed of 20 Belgian artists with a multiple musical background. Four of them(2003) shared together the passion for Reggae music and also for the classical vocal harmonies, which were often used by the Jamaican roots bands from the sixties and seventies (The Abyssinians, The Congos, The Gladiators, ...). Their music never stopped evolving and is also influenced by various other experiences that these guys came across in their musical careers, but always with a pure Roots Reggae base.
In 2011 they released their first music video "Holly Land", which received a warm welcome from the public, in 2012 they released a 4 Track EP, but most of all they won the "Benelux Reggae Contest 2012", marking a turning point in the history of the band. After playing most of last summer's major Reggae festivals in Benelux and with the bassist (who was also one of the 3 founders) gone, they are now called "ONE ROOT".
The adventure goes on more than ever with the release of the new single "This World", produced by One Root & Jaydub (who is also the drummer) and mixed & mastered by Jeannot @ Greenhouse Studio, featuring Jupiter Diop ! NEW EP "REVELATION" available NOVEMBER 2013

An unequivocal industry visionary, DJ Hell's career has embodied and then transcended his many guises: Anti-Superstar DJ, International DeeJay Gigolo Label Boss, GQ Man of the Year, Playboy, Jetsetter, Bon Viveur, Munich Machine, New York Muscle. Seeing, and envisioning - that is of enormous relevance to Hell. He managed to convey pure artistic prowess as well as pure style during his thirty year DJ career. The individual look, the do-it-yourself approach, the elitism. That's how it grew.

Since the dawn of recorded sound, music can be seen as a giant tapestry to which all musicians lend their creative influence. One band focused on the explosive evolution of this musical ecosystem is Groundation. Rooted in the reggae one-drop sound of Jamaica, Groundation seamlessly incorporates the harmonic, polyrhythmic, and improvisational elements of jazz, breathing new life into both genres. As one critic described it, Groundation begins at the crossroads where Burning Spear meets John Coltrane.
Groundation's unique reggae fusion can be heard from villages in Thailand, to the favelas of Brazil, from the mountains of New Zealand, to Moroccan cafes and college dorm rooms in the United States. Since 1998 they've performed in more than thirty countries on six continents, sharing the stage with such diverse artists as Jimmy Cliff, Sly and the Family Stone, The Roots, Kanye West, and Sonic Youth. 
Jazz music at Northern California's Sonoma State University brought together the original members of Groundation: keyboardist Marcus Urani, bassist Ryan Newman, and Harrison Stafford, guitarist and reggae singer, around whom the original sound formed. Stafford, then both a teacher of reggae history and a student of jazz, wrote songs from seeds sown in the ground of California, where antiwar, civil rights, and ecology have always thrived. Seven evolutionary recordings saw the arrival of singers Kim Pommell and Sherida Sharpe from Kingston, Jamaica, as well as American jazz musicians Dave Chachere (trumpet), Te Kanawa Haereiti (drums), and Daniel Whitegold (trombone).
Continuing the band's long history of collaboration with Jamaican roots reggae legends like Don Carlos, IJahman Levi and The Congos, Groundation's 8th full-length studio album, to be released in October 2014, evokes the lasting and eternal influence of Bob Marley, "A Miracle" will features Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt, founding members of Marley's legendary backing vocal trio the I-Threes. The picture is completed by the pen of Neville Garrick, Marley's art director from the time of the "Rastaman Vibration" album (1976). Following this long-awaited release, Groundation will be hitting the road as always with tours throughout Europe, South America, Oceania, the Caribbean, and North America.
