Toronto’s popular retro party – When Dance Did Nice – returns on Saturday, November 5th at an unannounced location in Brampton, Ontario. It will feature 90s dancehall star Frisco Kid (live from Jamaica) along with several top-tier local selectors.

The entrance fee is $50; however, $40 early bird tickets are currently available on ticketgateway-dot-com.

Earlier this year, at the beginning of summer, Paul Patmore Production entered into an agreement with Mandeville-born, Trelawny-based singer Trinni. Since then, the entire team have been busy conceptualizing, and subsequently creating her first single with the label. The result is Stay Solid, an inspirational dancehall tune jam-packed with some much needed practical advice, especially for young adults.

Stay Solid was written by Trinni who, although very active in the dancehall scene, credits her strong vocal delivery to years of singing in church. She admits that the song was inspired by the many challenges she experienced at the start of her career. 

“When I initially started I did not get support; generally not from friends not from family. Friends would think the songs are too raunchy or they don’t like dancehall music; while family just believes if you’re not singing gospel or singing for the Lord, you are sinning. So it was all about not being supported; not mentally, not physically, not emotionally. But I still decided this is what I want to do.” 

Now that she has found a home with Paul Patmore Production, Trinni is making it clear that she will use both her talent and this opportunity for good. She explains: “I wanna make a difference. I’m hoping to bring authenticity, share genuine messages, uplift others- especially females. I have a special sound, an individual voice, and I have things to say that need to be heard.” 

Stay Solid was officially released on Monday, October 17th; and as such, it can now be streamed and downloaded from all major music platforms.

Reggae-dancehall singjay Marlon Binns, in collaboration with his long time friend and producer Paul Patmore, has just delivered a scorching new dancehall tune called Dem A Wicked. The song was officially released last week Friday – on October 7th – and has already gotten high marks from selectors who have heard it.

On the record, Binns – who has worked with Bounty Killer, Iyara and Teflon in the past – openly castigates some of his so-called friends for being fake and hypocritical. After hearing the passion with which he sung the song, Marlon was asked about its inspiration; and he basically said that he wrote it because of what he sees happening in everyday life. This is before adding that he has also experienced similar relationships.

The song’s overwhelming positive reviews, especially in such a short time, have led Marlon Binns‘ camp and the team at Paul Patmore Production to expedite the making of an official video. As such, its release is imminent.

In speaking about the meaning of this record, Marlon said: “what I want people to take away from this song is that you have to be careful of the people that you surround yourself with. You understand? You got to be careful of that; be very mindful that everybody have various interest, know what I mean. Because they will smile with you and want to hurt you at the same time. So you got to be vigilant and be very spiritual minded.”
