Delroy ‘Phatta’ Pottinger Produces For Karamanti’s Upcoming Album

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Earlier this year Karamanti announced that she will be releasing her second studio album. The project, which was to be shared in May, have been pushed back to August. One of the main reason for the new date is the death of popular audio engineer Tixie, who has been Karamanti‘s personal mixing engineer for the past few years.

When Tixie died and it became clear that there was no way Karamanti and her team would make the initially stated release date, she took advantage of the new time-frame by reaching out to a couple of producers for additional tracks. One of the producer that she invited to work on the record is award winning producer and audio engineer Delroy ‘Phatta’ Pottinger.

Having known each other for many years, Phatta did not hesitate. He immediately responded with two rich, bassy reggae tracks that have already transformed the entire project. For those not familiar with him, Phatta is a recording engineer, mixing engineer and producer whose highly respected and admired in the reggae / dancehall industry. He started working at Anchor Recording Studio in 1993 through to 1997. And after taking time to work on personal projects and touring, he returned to Anchor in 2000 and has been there ever since. Phatta‘s producer credits include songs for Capleton, Half Pint, George Nooks, Sizzla Kalonji, and that is just to name a few.

Other producers that will be featured on Karamanti‘s upcoming album are: Major P (Europe), Arioso Legato (U.S.A.) and Lamar Thompson (Jamaica).

Turbulence & Reggae Vibes Music Promote Jamaica As An Ideal Vacation Destination (@ReggaeVibesMus1 @Turbulence876)

Posted on June 20, 2021 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

After the success of the recently released For Me video, Turbulence and Reggae Vibes Music have once again joined forces on another single. The new record is dubbed Jamaica Holiday, and as the name implies it is all about promoting the island of Jamaica as an ideal vacation destination.

As we have come to expect from Reggae Vibes Music, Jamaica Holiday is a rich musical track that was created by Dan Grossman and his team at their studio in Seattle, Washington. The sweet reggae beat is complimented by Turbulence‘s melodious lead vocals (that were recorded at Wasp’s studio in Cassava Piece), as well as Stephanie Hava’s backing vocals.

When asked what is the inspiration behind this song, Turbulence said: “well that inspiration is coming from the riddim first, cause the riddim have that kind of flavor. It just feels like something you are passionate about and I am passionate about Jamaica and how beautiful Jamaica is; and the vibe and ambiance that Jamaica brings.”

Reggae Vibes‘ CEO and owner, Marlon Folkes, have stated that though Jamaica Holiday is being shared as a single right now, it will be featured on a rhythm-driven project at a later date. Folkes also took the opportunity to say that the entire Reggae Vibes Music team is driven by their “love of music and a firm belief that quality music always stand the test of time.”
