“From the mind of award-winning producer, musician and manager Jeremy ‘MisterHarding’ Harding comes the City Life Riddim- the first in a series of forthcoming projects designed to put the “dance” back in dancehall and to re-establish reggae’s place on the global music charts.”

“Produced in collaboration with Nigel ‘Sleepy Splu’ Staff (current musical director for Jah Cure and renowned reggae producer, composer and session musician), the City Life Riddim brings the club-friendly reggae bassline back to the genre and bubbles with pop sensibility. Ten solid tracks feature some of Jamaica’s finest artists, including Grammy-award winner Sean Paul, the ‘Energy God’ Elephant Man,and rising female vocalist Denyque.”

Zincbeats’ own DJ, remixer and producer Christopher “Engineroom” Edmonds has joined the Zincbeats’ roster.

Zincbeats will handle booking and management for Engineroom, as well as distribute select releases on his Electric Kingston label.

Press and public relations will be handled by Zincbeats’ PR partner KW+A.

Courtesy YardEdge.net:

“Engineroom has been spinning cutting edge Caribbean dance music for parties, clubs, concerts and the radio since 1985 in Jamaica, Florida and California.”

“As DJ Maxi Taxi he was a member of Miami’s leading uptown disco, Medusa (which also gave birth to Waggy T and Gary Hart of Stages), for all of the 1990s, and also held residencies at leading Jamaican nightspots in Florida including Lime Key, Stardome, 5th Street and Spirit.”

“Following a move to northern California, he became the resident DJ for Berkeley’s famous Angel Magik parties, and also held down appearances at every major Caribbean event in the region, including multiple prime time spots at the Reggae On The River festival, San Francisco Carnaval and VP Records’ album launch events.”

“Now back in Jamaica, Engineroom is once again pushing the envelope and focusing on bringing the hybrid sounds that reggae, dancehall and soca spawned back to their home shores- House, UK Funky House, Garage, Grime, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Kwaito and Hiplife, Urban EMD and of course a liberal sprinkling of classic and contemporary dancehall and soca.”

Legendary reggae producer and musician Cleveland “Clevie” Browne has tapped Zincbeats to represent himself and his Steely & Clevie Productions label on issues of management, licensing and royalty administration.

According to Browne “the label continues to work with reggae stalwarts VP Records and others worldwide, but Zincbeats will now serve as the central nexus for license requests and related issues. In addition, Steely & Clevie have an immense back catalogue that survives mainly on 7″ vinyl, and which deserves to be made available in a legitimate and high-quality fashion in the current digital marketplace, and we’re working with Zincbeats to both license out some of these works and directly release others.”

Zincbeats is pleased to announced that 2 Hard Music, the in-house label of legendary dancehall producer Jeremy “MisterHarding” Harding, has signed a distribution agreement with Zincbeats to channel up-coming releases through. The deal covers global digital and mobile distribution and mechanical royalty administration, and Zincbeats and 2 Hard will also be working together on marketing and promotion issues as well as physical distribution for select projects.

The first project to be released through this agreement is the City Life Riddim, an upbeat one-drop riddim featuring Sean Paul, Elephant Man, Tarrus Riley and others.
