Jugglerz in Action


Last Friday, June 19, I was invited to document the appearance of Jugglerz at Club Moments which was a novelty! Usually, and the duo simpatico are here in Bremen regularly, they are booked at a different venue. Club Moments is a great place for this kind of event because they have a fair sized stage on which the MC can run and jump to his heart’s content. And – trust me – Shotta Paul made ample use of this, so much so that he had to change his t-shirt several times throughout the evening!

This was also the first time I met Meska and Shotta Paul although I regularly read and hear from them as they are very active in the reggae scene, for example with their website jugglerz.de and the German reggae charts they run – and of course I contribute regularly most of the times, generally prompted by the Riddim Newsletter, which always features the charts. They have also made a name for themselves as producers, their latest offering being the Reggaemiles Riddim.

I would have expected more people to turn up for such a great dance but the Jugglerz were not the least bit phased by the rather empty room. They did their thing as if playing for the millions and as the night progressed into the early hours more and more people actually came - something quite typical for Bremen. What can I say, the vibe was great! Thanks Jugglerz! And props to King Ralph who was opening and closing for them.

Dancehall Hot Again ~ Hamburg on June 6, 2015


DJ Maya from New York is in Hamburg! I was happy to be invited by the lovely host Robby John and Anna of Cranic Productions to be the photographer of the night and the event! In fact, I couldn't wait to get there!

What a beautiful night it was! When I arrived Crucial B was spinning some tunes. Sorry in advance for not having any photos to document this but you can take my word for it: It was nice. He was followed by Daddy Bantam from Berlin and Ini Man from Munich/Jamaica. I spent most of this time chatting with people and taking pictures here and there, catching some anthems with one ear... and enjoying meeting everyone I had not seen in quite a while listening to some personal stories and banter with the other ear.

Then it was time for the star of the night DJ Maya who had arrived in the morning fresh outta Brooklyn, New York! As anticipated she touched on different styles from reggae to dancehall to soca. She had the massive palancing through the dancehall as if we were in T&T!

Anyone would have thought that it would be hard to keep up with this vibe but if you have ever seen Massaya Sound you know that they would be up to the job! Their set was massayassive! When I left at around 5:30 am they were just coming to a close and Crucial B set up to play the last set for the morning.

As I left the club Dock's located right on the famous Reeperbahn known the world around for the night life and other amusement - mainly for men - the sun was shining and putting a golden shimmer on the houses and even on the littered streets. I drove home into the sunshine with a happy smile on my face...
