The first Dancehall Queen on the podcast! Charm is an extremely talented, trophy-winning dancer and choreographer whom I’ve known for nearly two decades. Charm(real name Shari)is originally from Barbados and migrated to the U.S. with her mother at the age of 3. Mom was a ballroom dancer who would sew her own dresses for dance functions. During kindergarten, Shari wanted to take ballet classes. Her mother enrolled her and began Charm’s dance journey. Ballet training would continue until high school. She also joined the school band and made it to the nationals in her senior year 2005. At 16, she started getting into Dancehall. Watching music videos from Sean Paul inspired her to dig into the genre. Being raised in Brooklyn, it also helped that others in her age group were into this style. Charm’s mother started allowing her to go to parties at this time. This leads her to meet someone who would be her dance partner and friend for years to come. Kadi is a dancer who was already in the Brooklyn Dancehall scene by

This week, I asked Jason to watch the first three episodes(season 1)of Future Man. Sci-fi, action, comedy series starring Josh Hutcherson from The Hunger Games films. Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen are the producers. Jason said he's a sucker for time travel shows and was impressed with the production quality. 'These three episodes can easily be made into a movie.' He loved the 80s homages to such films as Terminator, Back to the Future, and The Last Starfighter. He was also happy to see Keith David, whom he's enjoyed since his role as 'Childs' in 1982's 'The Thing.' Issues he had with the first three episodes; 'if you aren't a fan of Seth Rogen's raunchy style of comedy, this may not be for you.' Also, this Hulu exclusive didn't take itself seriously in specific scenes, and that hurt the narrative. Some time ago, I began watching this show. After the first 10 minutes, I switched it off because I thought it was terrible. But, because of the pandemic and imposed quarantine, I binged all three seasons and was deli

I love the 80s and 90s so much I think I might continue, including those decades in my regular sets.  This time I mixed it up with a couple of present-day genres near the end.  I keep forgetting to list the style of music.   I would love that info when I'm looking to find a song I hear elsewhere.  Enjoy! 80s-90s Hip Hop Too $hort-'Freaky Tales' N.W.A.-'Dope Man' The D.O.C.-'It's Funky Enough' Run-DMC-'King of Rock' Public Enemy-'Don't Believe The Hype' LL Cool J-'Rock the Bells' EPMD-'You Gots to Chill' Kool G Rap-'Road To The Riches' Nice & Smooth-'Funky for You' 3rd Bass-'Steppin to the A.M.'   80s-90s RnB & Soul Soul II Soul-'Keep On Movin' Mtume-'Juicy' Midnight Star-'Curious' Chaka Khan-'Ain't Nobody' Evelyn King-'Love Come Down' Cameo-'Word Up'   Pop & Freestyle New Edition-'Cool It Now' Alisha-'All Night Passion' Taylor Dayne-'Tell It To My Heart' Aby-'Scars Of Love' Shannon-'Let The Music Play' Information Society-'What's On Your Mind' The Human League-'Do You Want Me'   House  Mr.

Jason G. and I are continuing our quarantine review series. Weekly we trade off a movie, comic, or television show to consume then critique. This week it's Wolfgang Petersen's Outbreak released in 1995. We watched this movie(separately)during its initial run 15 years ago, and it is still a fun horror, thriller, drama with a plausible scenario. The text at the beginning of the film, "The single biggest threat to man's continued dominance on the planet is the virus," motivated Jason's choice. The budget on Outbreak was $50 million, grossing $184 million in the worldwide box office. With current events, I'm sure it continues making money through licensing to streaming platforms. The main cast; Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman, Cuba Gooding Jr., Kevin Spacey, and Donald Sutherland. There are many scenes where it's focused on the characters faces, and they deliver. The viewer feels the tension, passion, wicked intentions, the history in the relationships, coming through the screen. Speaking of Mrs. Russo

Erick Jael Fuentes is a dancer I'd see in local dance classes and on my Instagram feed. One late night in 2019, we both attended a party. He impressed me with his different styles on the dancefloor. He's Hispanic like me, and in this NYC Dancehall space, Hispanic male dancers are few and far between. I was curious to speak with him; we got a chance to do so before the pandemic. Erick is originally from Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico. He feels he was born into dance as his parents, Alejandra and Galdino, met at a block party. Erick's parents came to America to make money and support him. He stayed behind with his grandmother, Silvia, who raised him. Silvia would teach dance classes to the public at the 'Casa De La Cultura.' She taught what excited her, such as Cumbia, Mambo, Swing, and more. Erick started following along at four years old. There is a stigma with young men dancing, where it can be interpreted as feminine or gay; Erick wasn't exempt. His step-grandfather ostracized him. That later turned into encou

During the 90s I graduated high school, had my first kiss, and was  was introduced to the hospitality industry.   Where I would proceed to work till present day. I recorded this episode on a livestream on Periscope in May 2020.   You should join me there some time.    Enjoy the mix!

This episode begins our quarantine movie/tv review series.   Jason G and I will take turns making suggestions.   We will watch what we've chosen and come back in a week and give our respective reviews. JJ Abrams-produced Overlord from 2018 is our topic this week.   Click here for the film's synopsis.    Jason found the film likable but isn't what he expected.   The trailer gave him the impression of a zombie apocalypse that took place during World War 2.   He ultimately described it as being a 70% war movie, a 30% horror movie.   He also told me the meaning behind the film's title.    Overlord is the military's codename for the Battle of Normandy in 1944.   The Allied Forces making their move against German-occupied France.   In movie-speak, Overlord takes place the night before Steven Spielberg's 'Saving Private Ryan.'   Which in the opening scene, the invasion of Omaha Beach, can be described as a horror movie.   He felt the(cast)standouts where Wyatt Russell(Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn's son).

I recorded this mix on a rainy April evening.   I did so going live first on Linked In then finishing up on Instagram Live.    Live streaming is new for me, I was nervous.   I’m still developing my DJ technique.   The songs included in this mix I fondly remember from my childhood.   A few I discovered as an adult.   Enjoy! Track listing Paul McCartney & Micheal Jackson ’Say Say Say’ Rick James ‘Cold Blooded’ Billy Ocean ‘Get Outta My Dreams’ Ray Parker Jr. ‘Ghostbusters’ Stevie Wonder ‘All I Do’ Rick James ‘Ghetto Life’ Bee Gees ‘Tragedy’ Hall & Oates ‘Private Eye’ Phil Collins ’Sussudio’ The Jacksons ‘State of Shock’ Duran Duran ‘The Reflex’ Corey Hart ‘Sunglasses at Night’ Yes ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart’ Eddie Murphy ‘Party All the Time’ Michael Sembello ‘Maniac’ Joe Jackson ’Steppin’ Out’ Quiet Riot ‘Cum on Feel the Noise’ Billy Idol ‘White Wedding pt.1’ Def Leppard ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’ KISS ‘Detroit Rock City’ AC/DC ‘Thunderstruck AC/DC ‘Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap’ Johnny Cash ‘Folsom Prison Bl

Robin Sharma's '5 AM Club' was my favorite book of 2019.   It is similar to Bob Burg's 'The Go-Giver', where a narrative includes lessons to live by.    One of those lessons in Mr. Sharma's book being 'allow your life to happen in seasons.'    In the '5 AM Club,' he gives an example describing trees.   Their annual rhythm of losing then blossoming their leaves.   They do not resist the seasons. They willingly go through them.   We can do the same.      We grind ourselves down with the same busy schedule all year long.   Only to take a week(or two)of vacation to recuperate, reflect, or slow down?   One to two weeks, that's it.   I'm writing this during winter 2020.   This season I won't feel guilty about staying in and enjoying great food, TV, books, video games.   I often travel during this time, as booking trips are less expensive.   In the spring, there will be outdoor activity.   But with all the rain, this opens time to meditate, create, plan for the coming months.      The summer and fall are full of exp

I met Jozee last summer(2019). A mutual friend started bringing her to the dancehall parties I would attend. She gave me a good vibe and was open to learning about our community. Listening to Jozee reminds me of my enthusiasm when I was introduced to dancehall. In my teens(late 80s-90s), I'd go to neighborhood basement parties where hip hop, house music, RnB played. There would always be a reggae segment. I thought it was cool, but didn't grab my attention as it does now. In the early 2000s, I would religiously go to Club Speeed in NYC, every Sunday. DJ Mister Cee would play the latest and greatest hip hop. He as well would have a small reggae segment. But it was current dancehall and soca, which I wasn't exposed to. This wasn't 'Murder She Wrote,' or 'Twice My Age.' But Busy Signal, Elephant Man, and a new artist called Ding Dong with his tune 'Badman Forward, Badman Pullup.' When these songs would come on, I noticed the crowd's energy peak. What hooked me were the dance moves done to the particular songs. I

Jason G and I both work in the NYC hotel industry; unfortunately, we were recently furloughed due to the Coronavirus. We agreed to keep in touch every week, check-in, share what we're watching or reading(specifically comic books). I asked him, 'have you seen Tiger King yet?' I'd seen it a week earlier and haven't talked to someone to share my thoughts. He told me his wife and daughter were watching it, and while he was doing chores around the house, it kept grabbing his attention. One week later, he's consumed the entire series, and we are here to chat about it. There are spoilers. We review this Netflix original based on its entertainment value. Jason compliments the director(Eric Goode)for showing the good and bad sides of the cast; Joe Exotic, Carole Baskin, Doc Antle. I mention related news I discovered after watching Tiger King. Such as Netflix filming new content to be released in April. Also, Joe Exotic's music being sung by other individuals. We repeatedly mention our disbelief in the situations prese
