ROOTS - Evolution of Jungle Set with Marcus Visionary/ 04/24/10 - Toi Bar
ROOTS
Marcus Visionary has been in the music industry for over two decades. He has played a pivotal role in the development of the Toronto jungle drum and bass scene but has also ventured successfully into other bass culture genres. He is a successful party promoter and music producer working for labels such as: Digital Soundboy and Liondub International to name a few. He has also hosted the Prophecy radio show for over 16 years from 88.1 in 1994 to his move to 89.5 F.M in 1995 with partner Dj Prime. For those that have supported and followed his evolution you must be aware that he has one of the most extensive music collections in the city.
On Saturday April 24th get ready as Marcus takes you on a 5 hour marathon journey through classic Jungle to his most current reggae influenced jungle sounds! This night is a glimpse into his evolution and progression in Jungle music. Doors open at 10 p.m sharp. This will be all killer and no filler so please arrive early to experience the build and the full journey. Marcus will be starting things out with Jungle Techno and Jungle classics and then moving into his latest productions in reggae influenced jungle (dub rock sounds).
Get ready for some of the freshest dubplate specials you've ever heard! If you love bass and you love jungle then this night is for you.
On this night let's just say 'All Things Jungle'.
*We will be recording this night so be sure to bring the noise! Whistle, horns and lighta crew get ready!

Jamaica TVJ: Vybz Kartel and Mavado Peace meeting at Jamaica House "WE ARE NOT ENEMIES!" DEC 8,2009
Only the jamaican government gets involved in musical feuds! They say the govt had to get involved as the gully and gaza fans had become so divided.
Interview with David Rodigan by Late Night Munchies (Part 1)
The reason why David Rodigan is THE MAN. Keeping the flame alive.
Father Rodigan talks about the poor state of reggae and dancehall coming out of Jamaica. I can totally relate to what Rodi's saying as everything that inspired me from jamaica was from the past. I wish they would bring the musicians back to the studio's in jamaica. Until then..
