Reggae on a Bike, Must Sell Off

Whats Up Mad Music Fam. Music continues to be a binding force in unique and interesting ways. Today we share a new musically inspiring feature I recently found "Music on a Bike". So a DJ created a concept of turntables on a bike where he rides through communities playing music and building a party vibe. Not an easy task to cue and mix while riding and navigating, but he seems to have it under control, most of the videos are Drum and Bass music. So as many of you know the British based genre of Drum and Bass or DnB was inspired and influenced by the original Jamaican dub and reggae which is characterized in the bass heavy sound.

Enter Dom Whiting a full time mechanic and part time DJ who decided to with the relaxation of some covid protocols to have a party on a bike. He said " I want to bring people together and enjoy a bit of music because we have been away  from each other for a long time." Nothing like music to bring people together 

Its mad fascinating whether you are into the music or just the characters who are riding with him, of just the scenery of various towns throughout England.

If  Drum and Bass is not your "cup of  tea" just fast forward to time mark to 18:38  to hear Koffee's Toast drum n bass style to see the reggae influence. 

Enjoy... Maaad

 
And just to show how a good vibe and music can grow organically look at where he started with the first video, just him and his so so self.

Happy - the Rude Bwoy Version

Whaddup peeps, we have baaad chune for you this week. Forgot Because Im Happy by Pharell  Williams and that ditty by Bobby McFerrin "Dont Worry Be Happy" from 2009. We have the  Bad Man version, this chune has a basic call and response chorus that cant be beat hashtag  #Happy!!!

Produced by the Production team Fanatix who gave you "Touch Down"with Stylo G. Here comes the madly hypnotic hip hop/dancehall jam Happy Remix by Big Zeeks featuring Grime UK legend Double E.You cant escape the Jamaican influence in this one, from the lyrics to the beat. Nice touch featuring his son in this one.

Double E's style and pacing in the video is the killer. Strangely enough the original featured Stylo G but wasnt that big a hit but this remix Laaawd Have Mercy it Maaaaaaad.

Gospel and House a Truly Inspirational Song

Wahddup Mad peeps back in the place with music for your face.

Today lets go for some divine inspiration. Found this Mad Gem of Music which seamlessly blends a gospel chorus, giving praise and wortship with downright funky house music. The song is by Adelphi Music Factory called Javelin ( Calling Out Your Name). A new classic on the dance floor but still able to drive a glorifying tribute to the Saviour.

Adelphi Music Factory is a music collective out of the UK whose philosophy is The power of love will overcome the love of power.


The title of the song is based on the concept that the Factory, forges a ‘Javelin’; a gospel piano weapon filled with love. The sample is from the gospel classic It's Me Oh Lord by LaShun Pace.

We dare you to listen to this maaaad tune and not nod your head and tap your feet... go ahead turn it up and get down this a Massive Maaad Moment in Music memba we tell unhuu.



Maaad Bless!!!!

Its All about Dancing

Whaddup Mad Music Fans
Heard this mad hypnotic jam by Stylo G, kinda song to bounce your head to and move your feet
If you check the lyric video the translation is a bit off not done by a Jamaican but they seem to capture for the most part what  he is saying

Stylo G doesn't disappoint on this track and is showing again why he is one of the hottest Danceahll acts in the UK, the man baaad

You think this niiiice wait till you hear the remix with Niki Minaj, maaad str8 fire, shell ,shell shell



What we like about this song is that the beat baddd and it mooves people to dance, if there was ever any doubt on the influence of dancehall culture and in particular dance moves look no further than this video of some British youths a try dem ting,gwan wi seh gwann



Then if you wan see the difference wid a true yard man interpretation and choreography check this video , the crew is Hectic Dymond well known in the dancehall in Jamaica and whose leader Roll X is an in demand dancehall choreographer around the world.

 Maaaaaad  !!!!!
