Blending musical versatility, instrumental prowess, beautiful vocal harmonies and a premier rhythm section, the Easy Star All-Stars have established themselves as one of the top international reggae acts on the scene today. Thanks to their best-selling tribute album releases, Dub Side of the Moon (2003), Radiodread (2006), Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band (2009), Easy Star’s Thrillah (2012), the remix album Dubber Side of the Moon (2010), as well as original releases Until That Day EP (2008) and First Light (2011), the Easy Star All-Stars have built a growing, dedicated fan base throughout the world, bringing together fans of reggae, classic rock, dub and indie rock into one big family. The band has toured in over 30 countries on 6 continents. They’ve played many major festivals around the world, including an unprecedented three-day, three-stage stand at Glastonbury in 2009, which earned them a UK Festy Award Nomination that year.

New York City's Easy Star Records has produced three of the best-selling and trendsetting reggae albums around - the Easy Star All-Stars' Dub Side of the Moon, Radiodread and Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band - while building an international brand and roster that has come to signify quality and class.

The independent label has created an impressive body of work that includes those above-mentioned in-house productions, along with progressive recordings from envelope-pushing acts like Protoje, Jesse Royal, John Brown's Body, The Skints, The Black Seeds, Rebelution, Passafire, Backbeat Soundsystem, Gentleman's Dub Club, Cas Haley, New Kingston, The Expanders, Lila Ike, The Late Ones, Marcus Gad, Tommy T, JonQuan and Ticklah; reissues of classic reggae from the vaults of Sugar Minott and Linval Thompson; new music from reggae legends The Meditations and Sister Carol; and collaborations with international reggae stars like Matisyahu,  Michael Rose, U Roy, Luciano, Anthony B, Christofer Martin and Morgan Heritage.

Easy Star has steadily built a scene that extends in many directions, following any path where reggae leads, bringing together young producers and musicians, reggae stars, and even artists outside the genre who have been influenced by Jamaican music, like Citizen Cope, blues musician/musicologist Corey Harris, Janelle Monáe, Jason Mraz and Kelly Clarkson.

The label manages its in-house musical collective/touring band The Easy Star All-Stars, who have played in over 30 countries on 6 continents. Dub Side of the Moon, Radiodread, Lonely Hearts and Thrillah have formed the backbone of a growing franchise of reggae re-inventions of classic albums; the band is at work on the next installment, targeted for 2022.

Easy Star has also developed a strong sense of how to market reggae to both core genre fans and a mass audience, leading to work consulting on marketing for albums such as Gov't Mule's Mighty High. Easy Star's musical director Michael Goldwasser produced albums for Corey Harris and Israeli band Hatikva 6, as well as remixes by Umphrey's McGee, Rebelution, Jason Mraz, Yoko Ono and more, bringing the Easy Star sound further outside the family. And Easy Star has raised its profile as a lifestyle brand with events such as Easy Star Reggae Tuesdays, which was one of the longest-running weekly reggae parties in New York.

Michael McKenna (Keep Schtum)
Michael McKenna is a DJ and producer from Dublin and is probably best known by his 'Keep Schtum' pseudonym. His hugely popular disco re-edits have been getting support from DJ's worldwide, including Greg Wilson and DJ Harvey.
Keep Schtum's re-edit of 'Hang Together' by Odyssey has become a widely played Disco classic. The re-edit of 'Do It Any Way Yo Wanna' by People's Choice got the stamp of approval by Gamble and Huff themselves, when included on the 'Philadelphia International: The Re-Edits' album, released on Harmless Records.

Michael's had a number of other well received vinyl and digital releases, both re-edits and original productions. They often, but not always, fall somewhere between Disco and House. The most recent being the 'Real Change' Ep. with Dublin DJ Bubbles, released on 'Paper Recordings' offshoot 'Paper Disco'. He now has a busy summer ahead of him with a few remixes due out, and DJ set's at most of the main Irish music festivals.

As well as the occasional gig in the UK and Europe, Michael Dj's around Ireland and has several monthly DJ residencies in Dublin, including Pygmalion, Izakaya, Liqour Rooms, Soder & Ko and Ukiyo.

Joining the dots between dub, funk, disco & house. No specific genres, eras, musical fads or other such nonsense. Just a celebration of grooves that tickle your hips and soothe your soul.
