This was evident in the sound system being named Favorite Sound System at the 2010 staging of the Youth View Awards (YVAs). An elated Delano Thomas from Renaissance was lost for words when contacted on his way to the event that the sound had won. ‘It’s great to know that the youth appreciates us and enjoy our music’. Known for their creative mixes, top class parties and events and intense juggling, the selectors aboard the Renaissance sound system have consistently raised the bar. Said Thomas, ‘This award is important to us because the youth is the future and its good to connect with them’. Renaissance is gearing for the staging of Beer it All. The date and venue will be announced shortly.]]> http://www.outaroad.com/2010/02/renaissance_disco_named_favour.html http://www.outaroad.com/2010/02/renaissance_disco_named_favour.html Da Rage Renaissance Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:32:55 -0500 Information reaching OutAroad.com is that the popular Big Yard Community which is often used in Vybz Kartel's songs was raided yesterday by the Constant Spring police.

The prolific hit maker was residing in the UK for over three years hence his absence from the local music scene in the earlier part of this decade. Despite all the obstacles he has faced in his bid to achieve this goal, Spanner Banner has stepped back into the local spotlight wit his recent number one hit single Rolling Stones. His return to the local musical landscape has found favor with fans and music industry insiders alike. Therefore it comes as no surprised that he has copped the award for Biggest Come Back Artist of the Year in the Excellence in Music & Entertainment Awards (EMEs) which was held last night at The Gardens at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston. ]]> http://www.outaroad.com/2010/02/spanner_banner_wins_eme_award.html http://www.outaroad.com/2010/02/spanner_banner_wins_eme_award.html Da Vibes Spanner Banner Sat, 06 Feb 2010 07:49:56 -0500 Rising reggae/dancehall artist Timmi Burrell was in fine form when he performed at the Excellence in Music & Entertainment Awards (EMEs), which was held on the 4th of February 2010 at The Gardens at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston. The dapperly dressed young man was the first performer in a segment of the awards show dubbed the Tribute To Studio One and he got things off to a very good start with a splendid rendition of Horace Andy's timeless classic Skylarking, which was produced by the great Jamaican producer Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd who founded the Studio One studio and label in the 1960s. Judging from the response of the audience his effort was well appreciated. The main man behind the EMEs Richard Burgess was very pleased with Timmi Burrell's performance; "Timmi got the show off to a very fine start I must say, he is certainly poised for great things", said Richard Burgess when asked for his thoughts about the budding artist's performance.

The flip side is that this tight squeeze around the neck of the entertainment industry allowed persons to dig deeper inside their creative engines to bring good quality music to float above all the undesirables, much to the delight of the fans. One artiste who was able to bring forth really good, quality filled tracks was DASECA's first artiste - Bugle. Bugle has found himself blessed with a writing/lyrical skill that allows him to bring forth songs that connect with people on a personal level; things that basically any and every one can relate to. In 2009 he stayed true to that form and worked with some of the industries talented producers to bring those songs to the ears of the fans. With the help of visionaries like Julia Braham (1456 Productions) and Jay Will (Jay Will Films) he was able to bring some of these stories to life. One of his last projects for 2009 was the song 'Pearly Gates' produced by TJ White (Tj Records) for the Alter Ego Riddim. ]]> http://www.outaroad.com/2010/02/bugle_maintaining_the_focus_fo.html http://www.outaroad.com/2010/02/bugle_maintaining_the_focus_fo.html Reggae/Dancehall Profiles Bugle Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:23:36 -0500 Back in the day, Lindsay Lohan released two albums with billboard chart success, and for the last couple of years we've been hearing all about the oh-so-anticipated third album. Eighteen months ago Ne-Yo even raved about the troubled Tinseltowner's work ethic and their plans to continue working together following the release of her last single "Bossy." "She did a fantastic job. She actually did a much better job than I thought she was going to do to be honest - I was skeptical at first. But she was on time, motivated and focused," he said at the time. Now it sounds as though in the meantime something went sour between the two. "We were doing some stuff and then it just fell off and hasn't got back on," Ne-Yo told Pop Tarts at Clive Davis's Pre-Grammy party last week. "I'm not gonna hold my breath." But if LiLo ever does decide to get her act together, the "Year of the Gentleman" crooner is willing to work something out. "Lindsay, when you're ready to get it in, give me a call," he offered. Lindsay, are you listening?
