We all have our gifts whether we recognize them or not. For example this episode's guest has Perfect Pitch. In the noise of "Reality" television programmes such as The X factor & The Voice and multiple Social Media Platforms for fans choose from, are our musical gifts still recognized...? Or is it all about the latest gimmick?In this episode Naron Litchmore and I discuss the peaks and flows of the Music Industry and who truly wins in the battle of Quality over Quantity. He is a pianist that started his musical journey at the age of 7 and over the years he has performed with many great artists such as Yaz Alexander, Pato Banton and me! More recently Naron has been performing with the Aston Performing Arts Academy (APAA) who aim to inspire young people through creative arts.All guests are asked select 7 Reggae tracks that inspire, connect them to their culture or evoke heartflet memories. Unfortunately Naron only selected 3 (which you can hear me cuss him for in the interview!) but to make up for it, as this episode is all about the Music industry I have included Reggae Uprising Podcast fan Don G's single, along with everybody's favourite song of mine "Bless My Soul".

As the seasons begin to change and the mood turns to getting cosy by a fire, Don Letts is back in partnership with Turtle Bay for the next in the series of the Reggae 45 Podcast – a dedication to the iconic sound of Lover’s Rock. A tributary of the Reggae genre that has become the cornerstone in the story of UK Reggae’s success, Lover’s Rock was born out of the need for an alternative to the more political tones to the wider Reggae sound in the 1970's. The young and ambitious of the Windrush generation looked for a reflection of their emotions at that time… of love, romance, relationship ups and downs as well as hopefulness… and along came the perfect soundtrack to their lives.
UK Reggae & Dub pioneer, Adrian Sherwood, has kindly recorded this thundering mix for the most recent edition of our podcast series! Adrian is a much sought after producer in the world of Reggae & Dub, co-founder of the revered labels On-U Sound, Carib-Gems, Pressure Sounds & founder of HitRun records too, Adrian's contribution to Reggae music is absolutely immense! Adrian's production credits read like a who's who in the Music game including Lee 'Scratch' Perry, the late Bim Sherman, Dennis Bovell, Little Roy, Sly & Robbie, Steven "Lenky" Marsden, Carlton "Bubblers" Ogilvie and Jazzwad. And he's put together this brilliant mix of some of his favourite tunes from his archives...CRUCIAL! As ever Earl Gateshead is on hand to host & mix some killer tunes in the 1st half of the show, this podcast certainly has all the trademarks of a great mix! One for the heads!

Jamaican born, reggae superstar Melodic has started rockin' the sound systems in his hometown of St Thomas, Jamaica. His unique style of blending classic reggae, modern dancehall & hip hop is an essential part of what he represents as an Artist. Melodic began crafting his musical skills, with a 25 cent jukebox at his local Jamaican bar. Then with a small sound system, singing at local store fronts with a microphone on the siderwalk. His rude boy looks, charismatic personality, and original voice are a key part of his commercial appeal, which has spread far beyond the Jamaican yards that raised him. Moving to New York in is teen, melodic quickly gained recognition in the industry by consistently adding his signature spice to the reggae and hip hop music scene. Whether opening up for recognized reggae and hip hop artists such as Mos Def, Dead Prez, Tupac, Scarface, Buju Baton, Tiger, gyptian, Mad Professor, Steve Dreads UK reggae band Hassle was formed in 2002 and in this time have supported such reggae greats as, Jah Shaka, Toots and the Maytals, Alton Ellis, Bob Andy and Pama International playing pubs, theatres, and live festivals all over the UK. Amongst other things, Hassle takes influence from the Reggae sound of the 70s aiming for a more warm, pure and earthy sound and feel that is sometimes lacking in the modern arena, Influences such as Bob Marley, Lee Scratch Perry, and Augustus Pablo have helped inspire this as well as our own backgrounds and culture www.blogtalkradio.com/caribbeanradioshow Call in at 8-11pm 1-661-467-2407
