Seit dem "Youth Riddim" arbeitet Foresta an eigenen Produktionen, die stellenweise schon auf Alben unterschiedlicher Künstler erschienen sind, hier gibt es jetzt sechs exklusive Songs, die euch einen Einblick in sein musikalisches Schaffen geben. Foresta ist das "jüngste Pferd" im Urban Tree Music Stall und hat sich, neben zahlreichen anderen Aktivitäten rund um Urban Tree, in den letzten vier Monaten in seinem Studio eingeschlossen, um diese EP fertig zu produzieren. Natürlich warten noch zahlreiche Videos und kleine Aktionen zu den Songs darauf abgeschlossen zu werden… Wir halten euch wie immer auf Facebook auf dem Laufenden!

Zu hören gibt es Hiphop und Beats im breitesten Gewand zwischen Soul, Jazz, Reggae, Dub und Popmusik. Mit an Bord hat er zahlreiche Namen aus eben genau diesen Genres, die in den letzten zwei Jahren seinen Weg gekreuzt oder den Weg in sein kleines Homestudio gefunden haben. Mit Kabaka Pyramid und Protoje hat er zwei der aktuell erfolgreichsten und vielversprechendsten jamaikanischen Reggaeartists an Bord; Berge gehören zum besten was die Berliner und deutsche Popszene zu bieten hat; Forestas Labelkollege Simon Grohé arbeitet gerade selbst am Release seines Urban Tree Debüts "Mamaoerf", Danny Ranks und Longfingah gehören seit Jahrzehnten zum deutschen und österreichischen Reggae- und Dancehall Underground und haben sich weit darüber hinaus ihre Fanbase vor den kleinen und großen Bühnen Europas ersungen; mit Benjie hat er einen Veteranen der deutschen Reggae- und Dancehallszene und weiteren Labelkollegen von Urban Tree mit im Schiff und Jaqee, die bei den Freunden von Rootdown Records ihre Musik veröffentlicht, verbreitet ihre wunderbare Musik jedes Jahr von Dänemark, über Deutschland, bis nach Frankreich und Uganda.

Foresta's debut EP will be released on the 28th of February 2014 and will be available as a free download on  Soundcloud and Bandcamp. Since the release of the „Youth Riddim“, Foresta has been working on his own productions, some of which have been released on the albums of various artists over the past couple of years. This time around, he has not entirely distanced himself from a Reggae sound, but rather has found a way to combine it with Soul, Hiphop and jazzy elements. His instruments of choice are rhodes and piano. A number of musical guests graced his home studio where the programmed beats were enhanced with live instruments.  

We now present to you six exclusive songs that will give you an insight into the producer's musical creativity. Foresta, the youngest member of the Urban Tree family, spent the last four months locked up in his home studio to finish his long awaited EP on time for the release date. A number of videos and small activities surrounding the EP are still to come. 

The EP features a  fusion of Hiphop and beats combining Soul, Jazz, Reggae, Dub and Pop. The vocals to be heard here are from artists that hail from precisely these genres, artists that he has met somewhere along on his musical journey through the years or that made it into his humble home studio.   

For his EP Foresta had the pleasure of working with two of the most successful and promising artists in the Jamaican Reggae scene: Kabaka Pyramid and Protoje; Berge belong to the pick of what the German Pop scene has to offer, Foresta's label colleague Simon Grohé  is currently working on his own release „Mamaoerf“; Danny Ranks and Longfingah have both belonged to the German and Austrian Reggae and Dancehall underground scene for decades and have shared their music with crowds on both small and large stages all across Europe; with Benjie - another Urban Tree colleague - he has a veteran of the German dancehall scene on board; Jaqee from Rootdown Records shares her music with her fanbase from Denmark to Germany to France and Uganda.

KEIDA EBB AND FLOW EP 
 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ebb-and-flow/id999107052
 
 Today June 2nd is the official release of reggae/dancehall recording artiste Keida's debut EP Ebb and Flow. The compilation is available on iTunes. The fitting title Ebb and Flow is symbolic of the rhythms of life, a seven
track compilation which embodies the essence of growth and change as inevitable outcomes of the ups and downs ... the coming and goings of life. “Ebb and Flow" is an EP for the youths that I interact with daily ,
both in my family and in yours”. A graduated level of lyrical content is notable throughout the Ep's track compilation introducing the audience to a more conscious side of the artist they may not have seen in her earlier work.
  Opening with her Rory Stonelove produced hit "Ganja Tea", Keida invites
people to use their “meds” and their in a positive way. Ganja Tea, the
classic roots reggae record is followed by "Mad World" the soulful and inspirational piece produced by Royal
Order Music. It urges us to take more responsibility for the realities of the world and be more proactive our contributions; highlighting that there are too many people
who are displeased with the way the society is running for us not to make a
conscious step for a positive change in this mad world. On her U.I.M Records
produced single entitled "One Love", Keida helps her listeners to realize
the importance of one pure love as the nucleus which will stimulate a
positive chain reaction in our consciousness and our interpersonal
relations. "One Love" is introduced by the Great Russell Bell, Math genius
and youth empowerment advocate whose wise words have helped shape the lives
of many. "Russell Bell was the first to call me Keida Rankin, way before music entered my reality. He empowered me by encouraging me to embrace my visual way of thinking and that's something I apply in all areas of my life." The blazing, amped up dancehall track “Hot Ash", also produced by
U.I.M, showcases her versatility and highlights a hard edged up-tempo sound.
On the follow up track "M-16" produced byNatural High Music, Keida
deliberately reaches out to youths who are faced with the difficult choice
between destitution and crime as a means of survival. With the soothing melodies of Chalice's veteran musician Wayne Armond on back up vocals Keida has once again made a full circle back to her roots and the music she was introduced to by her father as a child. She closes out the
track by paying respect to the late Nicodemus, one of dancehall's greats
with her rendition of one of his famous verses. On her final song "Stand For
Something" produced by Royal Order Music, she is “telling every youth mi see
that the only sure way for growth is to stand for something”. The EP closes out with a dub
version of "Stand for Something" produced by Suns of Dub which includes Ras
Jammy, Jah Bami, and Addis Pablo (son of the late GreatAugustus Pablo).
 
  Stand for something or you gonna fall for anything. Rise up and wise up.
Keida and her team Great Whyte Entertainment have worked to ensure that Ebb
and Flow is sending a message that encourages all people to hold on to a
different way of thinking, to engage in positive actions and to take an
active part in shaping a new consciousness.
