Hosted by Jahvaneeze10-12pm UK Wed.

In this powerful episode of The Edge on Affinity Xtra, host Roger takes a deep dive into the evolution of the UK Urban and Gospel scenes with the legendary Owen Uriah. From his early days growing up in Aston and Newtown to becoming a pioneer of smooth reggae rhythms in the mid-80s, Owen shares his incredible 40-year journey of faith and creativity.   Owen opens up about: The Early Days: Releasing the influential track "Flesh of My Flesh" in 1986 and navigating the "urban scene" when it was dominated by reggae and jungle. A Life-Changing Encounter: How a gang-related book by Nicky Cruz and a powerful moment at the Birmingham Town Hall led him to Christ. The Music vs. The Message: The dramatic moment in Connecticut in 2010 where he realized music had become his "God" and his subsequent transition into full-time Baptist ministry. Overcoming Adversity: Navigating personal health challenges—including a heart valve surgery in 2025—and the loss of three family members during the COVID-19 pandemic. Authorship & Relationships: Discussing his books Keeping It Real, The Trouble with Men, and his 2022 release, Dangers of Playing Games in Church. Now experiencing a "resurgence" in his music and ministry, Owen Uriah continues to bridge the gap between the street and the church, offering healing to the brokenhearted and encouraging the next generation of creatives.   "We are the church... we need to be growing and we need to be taking over." — Owen Uriah   #OwenUriah #TheEdge #AffinityXtra #UKGospel #ReggaeGospel #UKReggae #FaithJourney #NickyCruz #ChristianMinistry #GospelMusicHistory #KeepingItReal #BirminghamGospel   https://youtu.be/y_Y0LzsFNBI

Révélé sur la scène reggae anglaise, le chanteur-producteur à la voix d'or s'impose aujourd'hui comme l'un des artistes les plus singuliers de sa génération. De Wigan où il est né, à Bristol où il est basé, voyage à travers les villes anglaises qui l'ont façonné. Chanteur, auteur-compositeur et producteur, Joe Yorke s'est imposé au fil des années comme l'une des voix les plus singulières du reggae britannique. Après une série de singles collaboratifs avec la scène dub anglaise et française (The Eastonian Singers, The Grampians, Stand High Patrol), il signe en 2023 Hopeless, troisième long format paru sur son propre label Rhythm Steady. Un album à l'équilibre subtil où la northern soul croise ses premières amours pour le rocksteady et le reggae roots. C'est aussi sur ce disque que s'affirme pleinement son falsetto imparable, cette voix claire et souple que son fidèle collaborateur Eeyun Purkins (The Co-Operators) avait su révéler lors de sessions maison. Une arme douce et agile, à l'image d'un artiste qui refuse de laisser enfermer dans un seul genre. C'est à Marseille, à l'occasion de la Fiesta des Suds, que je le rencontre. Ensemble, nous retraçons son parcours à travers trois villes anglaises qui ont façonné son identité musicale : Wigan, point de diffusion de la northern soul dans les sixties; Manchester, terre de métissages et d'avant-gardes sonores ; et Bristol, creuset d'une scène underground où reggae, dub et électronique se réinventent sans cesse.

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.
