Mr P

In The House Show, Sunday 10pm – 12am I started DJ’ing in May Pen (Jamaica) at Aquarius Night Club and Talk of the Town night club playing disco, whilst attending school at the age of 13 years old. I returned to London in 1984 and worked with Air Jamaica Roadshow and The Sophisticated Gents as a Soul DJ. I did gigs at The Lord. Westbury Public House, The Continental Wine Bar and private parties before joining Powerjam Radio in 1993-2000 and 2002-2004. I went to the underground scene with The Party Zone! along with Madam X and DJ Mix-T playing all genres in House and Garage (US Garage House) in 1992 doing warehouse raves and parties for families and friends. The Party Zone disbanded in 2001 after the death of Mix-T but still use the brand to date. Influenced by the late Larry Levan (Paradise Garage), Alan Magnus (Radio Jamaica) and my mother who really loved her music.

Black Genius

Black Genius, Tuesday 3pm – 7pm and Wednesday 6pm – 8pm (GMT). I first started playing music at the age of 9 after watching my Dad on his Blues Spot Gram which was the first sound system. I wasn’t allowed to touch it when he was there so my brother and I would wait until he went out; before we would start practicing to play records. My Dad then got a Valve Amp System which, again when he wasn’t around, we practiced. By the age of 15 I was playing music at my friend’s parties. It is now my greatest pleasure to play music that makes people happy and makes them want to dance’.

Jazzy Lady

I started Djing in the late 80’s, playing a mixture of soul and reggae music at parties. In the early 90’s I won a female DJ competition at Gantons Nightclub in the West End and was given the opportunity to play there. Soon after I became a Presenter on Veteran DJ Tony Williams radio stations ‘Rockers FM and Rhythm 365’. I was chosen to present an award at the Reggae Awards in 1995 which was televised by B.E.T. I retired, only to come back to the thing I love doing best. I became the only female resident DJ at ‘Remember The Times’, for 5 years. More recently I performed at The Sexy Festy Festival in Haggerston Park, London,on their 38K sound system and the South London School Reunion in April 2017.

Selector JahMon

Roots & Culture (RAC) Show every Saturday 6-8PM (with interviews).
Music came into my life at a very young age…. When 6 or 7 I was fascinated by my dad’s big reel tapedeck and especially the fluorescent VU meters responding to the music. Reggae was not in his selection but world music was and I’ve always been interested in travelling, discovering cultures and their music. Some of the first reggae I heard was “Amigo” by Black Slate and got the pleasure to meet the band members and stay with Anthony Brightly in Antigua a few years back. For my friends I started to make music mixes…. I was fortunate to have good Marantz equipment and and equaliser…. And my friends appreciated how my mixes sounded richer. Reggae is my main genre but I also listen to Latin, Rai/Arabic, Jazz…In 2013 I got the opportunity to join PR agency Entertain Works and work with artists like Triston Palma, Ras Midas, Ricky Chaplin, Winston Francis, Vernon Maytone and many more. When working for these artists I got in contact with Haji Mike (artist and radio presenter) …. After some time, he asked me “Why don’t you do radio?” My response “I don’t know the first thing about radio and I don’t like to hear my own voice”. He said “But you know a thing or two about reggae… right?”. I couldn’t deny that and his best advice was “just give it a try, do it in your own style, don’t imitate any other DJs”…. And so I did… My first radio show was in 2014 and I knew I wanted to start from the roots of the roots so I interviewed Samuel Time Williams of Mystic Revelation of RastaFari (son of Count Ossie). Since then, I’ve had the pleasure and honour to interview many artists, musicians, writers ….Unfortunately some have passed away since but my mission continues… here on LockDownRadioUK!
