Echoes of the Dancehall delves into the world of reggae, dancehall, and ragga sound clashes between 1988 and 1995. This sound collage features rare tape recordings from iconic sound systems from England and Jamaica including Sir Coxsone, Bass Odyssey, Stone Love, Jamrock, Jah Love, Kilimanjaro, Arrows, Super Dee, and the esteemed blues dance sound Touch of Class. The mix transitions between moments of competition, heart-stirring dubplates, and crowd eruptions, painting a vivid picture of the dancehall atmosphere.

Each snippet from these sound clashes acts as a portal to a bygone era, where sound system crews battled for supremacy and musical dominance, pushing the boundaries of creativity to earn the reputation as the champion sound. Echoes of the Dancehall weaves together a tapestry of sounds and scenes, capturing the essence of the era while paying homage to the legendary pioneers who paved the way for future generations.

PRIVATE PLEASURE with DJ Jaka @ The Lot Radio 09-25-2023

Siroter quelque chose de doux, c'est l’effet de cette sélection musicale ; c'est un univers rêveur, sucré, doux et groovy ; c'est un peu de jazz, beaucoup de RnB, un peu de Hip Hop, de la funk et du boogie.

I am excited to have the multi-talented musician, composer, and educator Isaiah Collier as a guest on the show "Swimming." I am a fan of his work and appreciate the tributes to his musical lineage in his records. He has recently released a stunning record called “Parallel Universe” and I look forward to learning more about his inspirations and sharing his tunes as we dive into the music.

[歌詞]
朝焼け　静かな通り  
空は灰色　まだ眠ってる  
Footsteps echo in the cold  
Searching for a place to hold  

かすれた看板　破れたポスター  
子供の声が　風に乗る  
Old woman sweeping her step  
Dreams she never really kept  

さびた夢でも　まだ光る  
Even broken clocks are right sometimes  
今を信じたい　but it's hard to find  
Where the hope hides  

Shine through the silence  
声を重ねて  
Even in darkness  
We don’t fade away  
Shine through the silence  
響けこの場所で  
We’re still standing  
Even when the skies are gray  

ねぇ　誰が気づいてる？  
この町の祈りに  
We fight to breathe, we try to live  
Don’t let the noise drown what we give  

廃ビルに映る太陽  
一瞬だけ希望をくれた  
Worn out sneakers on the wire  
Still dancing in electric fire  

流された時間も　無駄じゃない  
Pain’s a teacher in disguise  
さびた声も　still can rise  
We’re the ones they can’t deny  

Shine through the silence  
声を重ねて  
Even in darkness  
We don’t fade away  
Shine through the silence  
響けこの場所で  
We’re still standing  
Even when the skies are gray  

生きる意味は何？  
Why do we keep walking on?  
愛も痛みも捨てないで  
We carry both in every song  

Shine through the silence  
声を重ねて  
Even in darkness  
We don’t fade away  
Shine through the silence  
響けこの場所で  
We’re still standing  
Even when the skies are gray

Shine Through the Silence
