Juakali - Breakground

Yeah, Juakali, MC and producer from New York, celebrates his first EP Breakground (GunJah Records /Foreign Familiar) virtually on Dec 2 and throws out some reggae, electro, bass heavy dub sound clash mixes!

Juakali is from Trinidad but lives in New York. He's been around the scene a lot before and made himself a name as resident MC at New York’s dubstep event Dub War and at the well-known Sub Swara parties. Furthermore Juakali appeared in several collaborations with Dub Gabriel on "Anarchy & Alchemy", on Process Rebel "Other Weapons", as well as on Sub Swara and Badawi releases (which we actually presented some years ago on Berlin's Voice of Culture). And: Juakali calls for revolution through change in a new way: "Revolution now", the first single, celebrates community and cooperation as the roots of justice and peace. That's a statement.

Juakali has been influenced a lot through New Yorks dub scene and through his travels. In 2006 he even performed at FIFA World Cup, so that the magazines called him an artist "on the forefront of the Reggae, Jungle and burgeoning Dubstep scene in the US and around the world."

Pretty clear, init? So come and join Juakali's myspace and check his new EP out! Certainly more things going to come soon.
