JahYu: the Korean word for ‘freedom’, this is an artist whose music is rooted in the notion of freedom, freedom of sound, freedom of expression, freedom from mind and freedom of the soul. JahYu uses his creative freedom to connect directly with his ancestors and create music that somehow transports the listener through time and space. Oriental flute and string melodies slide effortlessly amongst powerful roots-based dubstep, creating a sound that is unique and full of flavour. This enigmatic Korean-German producer blends both sides of his heritage, the digital steppers that emerged from Europe in the 1990’s alongside the traditional oriental music of his mother’s homeland, Korea, augmented by a deeper exploration of contemporary bass music. JahYu’s productions provide us with the opportunity to discover our ancestral roots through music. Roots music is not a sound, it is a feeling and a feeling that JahYu is able to evoke with profound intensity.

Vincent Mbengue, a.k.a. Dread Vivas, is a very talented and upcoming reggae artist who was born in Dakar, Senegal.

Coming from a Christian family he joined the choir of his church at the age of 10 and that’s where the foundation of his musical career was formed. In the nearby town of Popenguine he studied to become a qualified conductor and music teacher.  

Growing up with the music his elders listened to at the time Dread Vivas developed a great passion for reggae. Bob Marley, Burning Spear and Ijahman Levi, but also bands and artists such as Morgan Heritage, Luciano and more recent names such as Chronixx and Jah 9 influenced his music style and sound. Some more local names that have had an impact on him are Meta Dia and Dread Maxim Amar.  At the same time historical figures such as Haile Selassie I, Marcus Garvey, Malcom X and Nelson Mandela have inspired him, which shows through his conscious lyrics. 

In 2008 Dread Vivas released his first single Danal Sa Doole, meaning Work in his own language Wolof.  Since then he has recorded various singles and dubplates, e.g. for DJ Lassana of Angelvibes in Belgium and various other selectas in Europe.  2012, a year of political turbulence in Senegal, was the year in which he released the track Mistah President.  The following year he recorded Abuse and Sexual Violence in order to sensitize the population on Local and Reproductive Health care and raise awareness for HIV/Aids. In the same year he composed a song for a documentary about and against a mining project in Casamance, the south of Senegal.  In February 2014 he participated in the Sun Sooley “Senegal Tour” which took place at The French Institute and at the Cultural Center of Douta Seck in Dakar.

Some of his more recent tunes include Woote Benno and Sweet Wicked Babylon, for which the official music video was released in April 2014. Links to the videos are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwKDVDDTUdQ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnoMFdy6fZg. 

Dread Vivas is determined to continue using his music and conscious lyrics to raise awareness for the various wrongs in society and to fight for peace, love and harmony. Furthermore, as a performing and recording artist he wants to promote his reggae music worldwide. Positivity is what drives him and only the sky is the limit!

Mellow Diem was founded in April 2012 in Mainz (next to Frankfurt) Germany. On our quest for happiness and meaning we got lost and founded a band instead. In our lyrics we euphemistically interact with today's Zeitgeist, without losing faith in an optimistic approach to life. Our music is a mixture of mainly, however not exclusively, rock and pop. We're an ensemble of 6 musicians/artists all aged between 21 and 27. Every Mellow Man is included in the composing process as well as the song writing. Mellow Diem is more than just a band name: it a a request and a slogan! As everyone is getting more and more wound up in stress and haste, Mellow Diem is supposed to remind us to keep it Mellow. So yeah, keep it mellow.
