A Pioneer in the Philly DUB scene, the Dubsmith has been producing and performing roots based dub and electronica since the 90s. With hints of Hip Hop, Reggae and World music, Dubsmith keeps the dancehall bouncin’ with heavy bass and his trans-national dub style.

"Heavily influenced by 70's African Psychedelia ,think Bowie meets Prince to write a Tarantino sound track. Or The Clash, The Redskins and the Coup joining forces to make an album. Presenting the ultimate in quality stoner music-Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue according to Plato, or as George Clinton said "Free you're mind and the ass will follow."

Somewhere in the universe there is a night club - and in that night club they play the 13th Floor Elevators, Burning Spear, Curtis Mayfield, Fela Kuti and Ginger Baker, Jimi Hendrix, 60’s Soul, The Coup, Jorge Ben playing Africa Brasilia, Lee Scratch Perry, The Redskins, Old Skool Hip Hop, Sly and the Family Stone, Billy Cobham, Toots and the Maytals, Augustus Pablo, The Meters, CSNY and the Clash." 

And if you spent a weekend in that club and formed a band they would sound like the Big Mackoofy - the 21st Century Upsetters. " -Upstream Indie music biog

“Joggo” born as Jurgen Orville Seedorf on October the 29th 1980 in Amsterdam, introduced himself to the reggae audience in 2008 after the release of the mix tape “Beware”.

The song “Beware” on Bobby Konders “Kingdom riddim” had a huge international impact and peaked at the #2 position in the official German reggae charts for weeks.
With performances on big festivals like: Summerjam and Reggaejam, Joggo also proved to be an excellent live performer which resulted in holding crowds busy from beginning till the end. After releasing several singles on riddims of internationally well known producers such as: Curtis Lynch, Jr Blender and many more, Joggo also got recognition in Hawaii where the single “Peace and Love” turned out to be an instant hit tune.

Growing up with all kind of musical influences, reggae always had a special place in his heart. This because of the positive and conscience messages brought into the music. His biggest inspiration to start singing reggae is: Bob Marley but also legends like Burning Spear, Dennis Brown, Berres Hammond, Jimmy Cliff and Gregory Isaacs.
In June 2011 Dredda Records released Joggo’s first official album called Modern Rockers Vol.1, this album contains hit songs like Peace and Love, DJ, Gun Down and Strong Black Woman. Also on this album the well known Turbulence The Future appears in a Featuring with Joggo and Jah Decko with a big tune “Strong like Lion”!!
Joggo started to focus on the release of his new album and new singles. After various performances on summer festivals such as Zwarte Cross, Ruigoord and Reggae Sundance he also opened the show for Stephen Marley, Ijah man Levi, Midnite and Turbulence.

He released the first two singles from his upcoming album "conscious love", called "Keep it burning" and "Private Performer" who within one week reached the number 1 position at the I tunes reggae charts top 200. Many radio performances and interviews with the mainstream audience followed. Concious Love is set to release April 2015.

Stay tuned for more Joggo music!!

Blessed love!!

Since the dawn of recorded sound, music can be seen as a giant tapestry to which all musicians lend their creative influence. One band focused on the explosive evolution of this musical ecosystem is Groundation. Rooted in the reggae one-drop sound of Jamaica, Groundation seamlessly incorporates the harmonic, polyrhythmic, and improvisational elements of jazz, breathing new life into both genres. As one critic described it, Groundation begins at the crossroads where Burning Spear meets John Coltrane.
Groundation's unique reggae fusion can be heard from villages in Thailand, to the favelas of Brazil, from the mountains of New Zealand, to Moroccan cafes and college dorm rooms in the United States. Since 1998 they've performed in more than thirty countries on six continents, sharing the stage with such diverse artists as Jimmy Cliff, Sly and the Family Stone, The Roots, Kanye West, and Sonic Youth. 
Jazz music at Northern California's Sonoma State University brought together the original members of Groundation: keyboardist Marcus Urani, bassist Ryan Newman, and Harrison Stafford, guitarist and reggae singer, around whom the original sound formed. Stafford, then both a teacher of reggae history and a student of jazz, wrote songs from seeds sown in the ground of California, where antiwar, civil rights, and ecology have always thrived. Seven evolutionary recordings saw the arrival of singers Kim Pommell and Sherida Sharpe from Kingston, Jamaica, as well as American jazz musicians Dave Chachere (trumpet), Te Kanawa Haereiti (drums), and Daniel Whitegold (trombone).
Continuing the band's long history of collaboration with Jamaican roots reggae legends like Don Carlos, IJahman Levi and The Congos, Groundation's 8th full-length studio album, to be released in October 2014, evokes the lasting and eternal influence of Bob Marley, "A Miracle" will features Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt, founding members of Marley's legendary backing vocal trio the I-Threes. The picture is completed by the pen of Neville Garrick, Marley's art director from the time of the "Rastaman Vibration" album (1976). Following this long-awaited release, Groundation will be hitting the road as always with tours throughout Europe, South America, Oceania, the Caribbean, and North America.

Master See is tuned into the natural mystic that Bob Marley sang about during the Golden Age of Reggae. “Reggae music’s popularity peaked during the 1970s and 1980s with artists who spoke out against political and economic injustice,” says Master See. “That’s what attracted me to people like Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Black Uhuru, Steel Pulse and many others.

His musical journey began when his former wife gave him a bass guitar as a birthday present. “Around that time, I listened to reggae constantly,” say Master See. “I really loved the melodic bass lines of great musicians like Aston “Family Man” Barrett and Robbie Shakespeare. I talked about it all the time. That’s why she bought me a bass guitar.”

Armed with his new guitar and a drum machine, Master See focused on developing his songwriting skills. “I realized very early on that my focus should be on songwriting so I could capitalize on my experience as a creative writer and singer. I worked hard and did a lot of research early on and it paid off.”
When asked to describe his music, Master See responded, “I call my style SoulBeat: A Dynamic Blend of Reggae and Soul. It’s important that original artists reflect their reality and not just be imitations of others. Growing up in the Deep South means that I stand on a powerful music tradition that created the blues, jazz, r&b, funk and soul. I take the Mighty U-Roy’s declaration to heart – “I originate! So you must appreciate! Others got to imitate, you know!” 

Powerful vocals and a charismatic stage presence have led some to compare Master See favorably to Peter Tosh, his all-time favorite reggae artist. “There’s nothing more inspiring than an original artist whose works are a true expression from deep within. Like Tosh, my songs are not calculations, they are revelations.”

A poignant lyricist, powerful vocalist and innovative producer, Master See is inspiring music lovers around the globe with his new CD ‘4EVA MUSIC’. “This latest CD project was completed during a very challenging time in my life; what you might call adverse circumstances. Yet, it is some of my best work. I really strive to create a musical environment that brings out a certain feeling of openness and empathy in the listener. Then, the lyrics can be written into their hearts and minds. Such is the power of music.”
