One of my favourite sets of 2021 - hot, sweaty, sexy and a really diverse mix of styles - moving quickly from reggae into hiphop, grime, bass, afrohouse, baile funk and then afrobeats. 90 minutes of killer tracks and a rammed dancefloor. Elements Festival in the Sunshine Coast, December 2021. Too much fun in the sun.

ELEMENTS FESTIVAL 2021 - Mista Savona DJ Set (Grime / Afrohouse / Baile Funk / Afrobeats / Reggae)

'I'm Living' is the stunning first single from the forthcoming Sizzla album 'Born A King',  produced by Mista Savona. With its soulful and uplifting lyrics, Sizzla delivers a bonafide roots reggae anthem that reflects goodwill towards all humankind, as well as being a passionate call for social justice globally. 

Sizzla's "I'm Living", Pincher's "Guide Me Oh Jah" and the acoustic mix of "I'm Living" are available for purchase at iTunes. More versions on this riddim (including Burro Banton, Cornel Campbell, Prince Alla & Ilements) and remixes coming soon!

Sizzla: "I'm Living"

What an afternoon! A rammed Hidden Woods at Boomtown Fair 2022, one of the greatest parties on the planet. High energy set mixing reggae, afrobeats, grime, hiphop, afrohouse & more. This is recorded straight from the mixer, but unfortunately missing some amazing live vocals from Dub Princess and Felix who rocked the party with me. Live percussion from Theo (Tropical Tea Party). Big ups to everyone involved! A highlight for 2022 for sure.

If them diss the King me say they all go disappear, oh
When the people dem a  clap and dem a cheer, 
Them say “Gwaan King Shango, cause a you love the Heir”, anyway again
A who fi flesh them want fi tear, who fi gear they want to wear
Me hail King Selassie whether far or near
Vampire get a spear, oh me burn them, me see clear, wham a go a yo

None of them can stop me now,

And their bullet cannot shot me now

Holy Emmanuel- I, Selassie I
Jah Rastafari is the Almighty and we say that practically without any apology

Yo, and burn out the wolf then from amongst the sheep, 
So me go so yo

Capleton & Mista Savona - 'Can't Stop Me Now'

Audio available here: www.bornaking.com/

Finally what the world has been waiting for! Recorded mostly between 2011 and 2013, Born A King sees the legendary Jamaican artist at the breathtaking peak of his musical and lyrical abilities. The album balances traditional roots reggae, dancehall, hiphop and global beats with all-out futuristic sounds and production. Focusing all of his energy on positive, uplifting and conscious lyrics, Sizzla combines his unique melodic sense and vocal delivery with some of the toughest production ever featured amongst his extensive catalogue.

Australian heavyweight reggae and hip-hop producer Mista Savona (Muti Music/Savona Records) has pulled out all the stops, combining his flair for sampling, programming and the full utilization of a ten piece studio band to deliver a scorching 15 track selection – that is being hailed as one of the strongest albums of Sizzla’s career.

Blue King Brown's new album 'Born Free' has arrived!

The beautiful 'Babylon A Fall' features legendary Jamaican vocal group 'The Congos', one of the most distinctive and important vocal groups in Jamaica's rich musical history.

Described by central figure Natalie Pa’apa’a as the band’s “strongest collection of … songs to date”, the album was brought to life on location at Tuff Gong studios in Kingston, Jamaica – the very same utilised by genre hero Bob Marley – as well as at Melbourne’s renowned Sing Sing Studios and the band’s own digs somewhere amid the sprawl of the city.

“This album more than ever captures where and who we are in our art and activism,” Pa’apa’a said of the record. “Steadfast on our musical mission, we continue to gather and hone our skills, branching into new territories, crafting our intentions into art, communication and action ... we are given focus, determination and momentum by the indisputable and irrepressible fact that humanity is born free."

Aussie vet Mista Savona lent his talents to production, as did ARIA-winning producer Styalz Fuego and the folks of Kingston’s Notis Productions, with multi-Grammy-winner James ‘Bonzai’ Caruso handling mixing duties across Australia and the US.

"We're excited about this release,” Pa’apa’a enthused. “It's such an important time to be voicing, loud and clear, the integral duty we have to unite against systemic injustices, to reclaim our rightful freedoms, share the truth, expose governments and authorities for what they really are and importantly to be singing our support to the people who are creating new ways of thinking, living and thriving outside the current paradigm.

“We give ourselves and our music to the movement; in this day and age, what could possibly be more important than that?"

Mista Savona @ Rainbow Serpent Festival, Victoria, Australia - Summer 2015 

Sunday 25/1/2015   19:00 - 20:00

My DJ set from Rainbow Serpent Festival - which is one of my favourite festivals occuring over the Australian summer. This was such a high energy set, and the dancefloor was absolutely amazing to witness. It's a mix of dancehall, uptempo reggae and bass electronic tunes with quite a few original productions thrown in, including some as-yet-unreleased cuts on the Kalonji Riddim featuring Burro Banton and Junie Platinum(check out http://www.bornaking.com/). Other artists featured include Stylo G, Liquid Stranger, Skarramucci, Randy Valentine, Sizzla, Turbulence, Tarrus Riley, Benny Page, Chase & Status, Cutty Ranks, Busy Signal & many more.

Massive shout out to my friend and MC Di Apprentice, who absolutely tore up the stage during this show - but unfortunately his mic line was not recorded from the front of house and so can't be heard here. Also a shout out to Jesse I and the Chant Down crew who played a solid roots set just before me, and Stickybuds (Canada) who played a wicked dancehall & breaks set straight after me. A special thanks to Andrew Schudmak & the crew at Rainbow Serpent for making it happen! Awesome as always.

Bless & thanks for the support!
