Two Jamaican born Philadelphia based businessmen Michael Clarke and Dave Grant are bringing back the mellow feelings of the golden age of Jamaican music to Philadelphia in the form of a Sunday night event dubbed as REWIND.

Debuting tonight March 6th Rewind will take place at the trendy Philadelphia nightspot The RESERVE and is designed as an early affair with doors opening at 7 pm and closing out at 1 am.

The format includes celebrity hosts plus local and international DJs with the playlist featuring music from the 80s, 90s as well as the classics from the Studio One and Treasure Isle era. Superstar radio personality RAGASHANTI will do the honors of hosting the first of what should be many Sunday nights of pure niceness.

Whatage Music, the record label that’s partially responsible for the success of Reggae singer Hezron, has just inked a deal with Manchester based singjay Millitant.

C.E.O and owner of Whatage Music, Courtney Johnson, met Millitant in the summer of 2015. After hearing his music and learning about his talents as a song writer, producer and engineer, Courtney thought it prudent to enter into a production and management deal with him. The two penned an agreement shortly after meeting and have since released a few singles and most recently, a mixtape.

When asked why he signed Millitant almost immediately after meeting him, Courtney said, “Millitant reminds him of Mavado, only a little more refined in his musical style.”
