Who We Are and When We Play
Sista Ahmes
I am a selectress rocked by reggae music from a very young age. I met, on my way, many people and artists who developed my culture & understanding of the messages. My deep desire is to express the meditation that I feel when I listen to music in my shows & to share the powerful, humanistic, unifying messages that reggae brings. Humbly with respect for all the creators of music who build their vision, I seek by the force of the subject to elevate my consciousness, my reflection on the world and my spirituality. I also have the pleasure of interviewing artists, to link their creations to their personal history. It’s always a chance to discover that, behind deep music & lyrics, is a person who shares his vision of the world. Meet me for a conscious and vibratory exchange every two Monday in ROOTS TRAVEL

Dubit
DUBiT is home-selector located in Poland. His selection is full spread of reggae vibrations - from roots to heavy steppers with spice of jungle, d'n'b and grime ;) Big fan of sirens and delays!
He started his musical journey with Jamaica music, listening to an old Polish band called "Daab". This opened his mind to discover polish dancehall scene and slowly heading more into dancehall from Jamaica. As time shows, it was just another step to familiarize him with Reggae and Roots. At first he didn't understand what is Dub. Crucial record for him was 7" Violinbwoy – Dread Out Deh! He started to collect even more vinyls where Dub and Bass was playing the main role!

funkymorrison takes us on a journey between the past and present of African reggae music. The awareness typical of Jamaican Rasta music in Africa has taken on an increasingly significant value over the years in the denunciation and struggle and still today there are many artists who make it the standard-bearer of the name of Jah Rastafari. However, today it is difficult to associate the lyrics and the themes, but above all also the music itself, from the Jamaican dancehall to the original Roots reggae of the 70s-80s. even in Mama Africa, today, it becomes difficult to combine “reggae” with the current rhythms and styles of the music produced in the different areas of the continent. Its musical relevance is in fact more its own than Afrobeat and the many musical labels coined to define the different genres between the various countries of the continent. In short, it is only a question of "labels" but in the end "music is music ..." and the important thing is that "when it plays you don't feel pain"
Don Anxelmo was born in Madrid. At a very young age he discovered and started enjoying urban music in the neighborhood, at concerts and in autonomus collective centers, from rock to rap through reggae: Madrid doesn't have a beach but Jamaica is not that far away.
He started out as a DJ playing the first five seconds of each song for his friends: there was so much good music, and so little time. Vinyl collector and eternal traveler, he likes learning from the past to develop the future. He currently collaborates with the San Nicasio radio program "Permítame que insista". He has hosted the program "El Crisol" on Smradio, based in Athens for two sessions. He has also been finalist in the mixtape contest in the 27th edition of rototom Sunsplash festival.
Currently, Don Anxelmo and his Buenaventura focus on Ska, Reggae roots, dub and other tropical rhythms.

Ziontist & Karl Kenyatta
Reggae and dub selectors out of Berlin, better known as Behold and Live Soundsystem. We were part of various underground soundsystem activities in and around Berlin since 2007, trying to promote roots and dub music in its various styles and forms from heartical roots music to mad digital styles, minimal dubs and heavy steppers. But besides the big speaker boxes culture, where we sometimes have to fight hard to survive in a big city, there was always a passion for mixtape sessions in our own yards. Free of any stress or pressure, here we can deal with the music more personally, just spending a good time in a smokey room!

Flocytek
My name is Flocyteck and I am 53 years old. I have been spinning records for the last 25 years and I still enjoy sharing my music with anybody who is willing to indulge in journey where the power of sound transcend cultural boundaries and takes you into a new uncharted territory. My philosophy about music is simple, it needs to come from the heart giving you a notion of funk in whatever genre you listen. I can find the funk in classical music, and I believe we all have the possibility to create our own funk in our own space and time. My love story with reggae was not a simple affair, being exposed to mainstream and commercial music, over played on radio I was never a big fan until the day I have the wonderful chance to meet Roostical who educated me, showed me the way, expended my stoked-up mind, and made discover some of the most beautiful sound that the genre to offer. Once I had learned and started to appreciate what really reggae meant, my mind had transformed itself and I finally started an amazing journey of discovery. I would never be grateful enough to Roostical for having spent so much time in helping me appreciated such a great genre.
I am not confine to reggae, I love Funk, Jazz, House, Deep House, and Techno as well as classical music. If the music has an element of funk into it, I will embrace it and enjoy it. I have been djing at multiple events, bars, party, radio, and the call on sound is too strong to resist.
My show is called “The Melting Pot” where there are no rules as rules are made to be broke. Let me share with you what I have in my heart, in my head and my collection box. My intention is to take you into a journey that you may not have chosen yourself so I will just ask you to trust me and let the music do the talking.
King David Growing up with a skateboard under my feet circling around our youth club where breakdance, graffiti & rap was prominent, I fell in love love with jamaican styles of music in my teenage days. I started collecting and djaying reggae about the age of 16, so let´s say around 1993. With holes in my shoes and not a penny in my pocket I started to set up King David Soundsystem in 1995. It has always been a work in progress system. I started with 500 Watts and played roughly 10k around 2010. I travelled to many places and met a lot of people. I really give thanks fort that amazing experience. Jah know! Living in Berlin since 2000 I´ve been an integral part of the local Reggae/Soundsystem scene until around 2012. Being the father of two sons I felt like I had to ease up a little and took a break from the scene. Fortunately - as we all know that life goes in circles - my boys themselves are growing to be teenagers and I´m here to proudly present the Ital Breakfast Radioshow to heartical listeners & family 2nd Saturday each month. Tune in & stay blessed!

My name is zkum and I have been spinning vinyl for a few years. I learned how to DJ at uncle otto in a small punk bar in hamburg. Music is a weapon and the lyrics are the bullet. This strength that music carries is my passion in reggae as well as in other music genres. The versatility in music is my life. I am very grateful to have a place on hearticalfm and will fill the space with my reggae vinyl and freedom sound. I regularly go live on mixcloud and also publish my sets there. I come in peace and bring love to all children of the world.
