Interview with Stereo Luchs (German only)

The nice House of Reggae Blog did a short interview with swiss dancehall artist Stereo Luchs, who recently released his new single on his brandnew own label Pegel Pegel.

Wie bist du überhaupt zu Reggae und Dancehall gekommen?

Ich habe als Jugendlicher vor allem Rap gehört. Dazu kamen die üblichen verdächtigen Reggae und Dancehall Artists, die man halt kannte. Irgendwann begann das für mich immer interessanter zu werden. Ende der 1990er lief recht viel in Zürich, mit Sounds wie Boss Hi-Fi und Ali Baba, die häufig spielten.

Es gab zu der Zeit viele Artists live zu sehen. Wir hatten Vibes auf den Dances und begannen Platten zu kaufen. 2001 habe ich mit einem Freund den Sound Vibes Galaxy gegründet und war da Selector. Phenomden hat seine ersten Songs bei uns am Sound performt.

Head over to House of Reggae to read the whole interview.

Swiss Dancehall Special at Jamaican Lounge

Normally Switzerland is a neutral country in every kind a crisis, but me hear say next month their troops make an exeption to invade Saarbrücken.

This one’s gonna  be a thing for the history books as 4 of the baddest forces in swiss Reggae and Dancehall make an appearance at Jamaican Lounge alongside Higher Level on the 15th of June.

None others than the great Phenomden and Stereo Luchs will bless the Modul with a Live-Show, and On Fire Sound and Boss Hifi are on heavy juggling duties this night.

This Dance gonna be hotter than a burning chesse fondue! Don’t miss it.

To get inna the right mood, check Helvetia Connection and these 2 tunes:

[Preview] Boom Di Ting Sound – Helvetia Connection

Some of you may know bout my love, or better, addiction to schwyzerdütsch mundart-Reggae and Dancehall already. So you can imagine how exited i am about this project from Schaffhausens own Boom di Ting Sound. A 27 track strong compilation of brandnew tunes from swiss newcomers and longtime artists, all never heard yet.

Ican’t await the release of Helvetia Connection next month. Watch out for it.

Phenomden Interview (German only)

Reggaenews.ch did a short interview with swiss Reggae Artist Phenomden

Wie lange warts du nun schon auf Jamaika?
Ich war einige Male auf Jamaica und hatte manchmal kürzere, manchmal längere Aufenthalte.
Nach unserem letzten Konzert von der Gangdalang Tour Ende 2009 bin ich aufgebrochen und war seit da abgesehen von kürzeren Unterbrüchen eigentlich immer auf der Insel. Ich habe mich hier gut eingelebt, vermisse aber auch mein zu Hause und meine Leute. Bald komme ich zurück in die Schweiz, freue mich schon!
