Mr. Flex was first introduced to the world of Jamaican Dance Hall as a youth growing up in the ghettos of Clarendon, Jamaica Under the wing of great reggae artists, such as Coco Tea, Freddy McGregor, and Everton Blender. By the age of 17, Mr. Flex was already singing with the top Jamaican Sound Systems such as African Roots. Inspired by these influences, a dream was born to pursue his career as a Dance hall Artist.
The Dream was briefly put on hold as another was filled when Mr. Flex immigrated to the United States in 1996. Mr. Flex is a professional Reggae artist who has been chanting on the microphone and entertaining music lovers with skills developed in his homeland of Jamaica for the past twenty years.
Mr. Flex with his charisma has accomplished a successful promotion and singing career. He is a Solo Artist backed by bands such as Riddim Rydda Posse, The Blade and Infinity Bands. His intention is to continue to work within the worldwide music scene and bring true Jamaican flavor to audience everywhere.

One of the leading new generation of roots, dub and dubstep producers - Alpha Steppa - child protégé of Alpha and Omega, debuted in 2010 with a bang. His label, Steppas Records began in style, offering up fresh dubs and sound system mixes by his mentors, as well as one of the final releases by titan of the reggae scene, the late Gregory Isaacs. Alpha Steppa’s 12” releases have already reached number 1 several times at the world’s leading distributor of reggae, dub and dubstep – Ernie B’s in California.
Alpha Steppa produces dubstep that is aware of its roots heritage and works to integrate this unique vibe into some of the most innovative dubs currently being made today. At the moment, based in Eastern Asia, he has begun to integrate an authentic oriental sound into the UK dubstep sound. This ground-breaking style can be heard clearly in the two tracks he has contributed to the “Get Up” EP – a deep, sub-heavy remix offset by a crisp version with a heavy UK dub vibe.
Be ready to hear original productions by not Alpha Steppa and Alpha & Omega, but also fresh dubplates from leading artists such as Lutan Fyah, Goli & Ashburner and Jonah Dan, and remixes by the likes of major producers such as RSD and of course dub legends Alpha & Omega.
♦♦♦♦♦♦ JAHYU (Steppas Records Germany) ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
JahYu produces dubs which are rooted in reggae soundsystem culture and are mainly influenced by UK Dubbers like Alpha & Omega, Iration Steppas, Jah Shaka, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, etc. JahYu dubs push out a heavy bass sound, that is overlaid by east asian melodies mostly played by flute or sitar. All together it's an asian dub style that intends to combine rootical Reggae & Dub sound with traditional korean music. As there will be several releases soon on Steppas Records (UK, www.steppas.com), Monkey Dub Recording (Canada, www.monkeydub.com) and Dan Dada Records (Portugal, dandadarecords.bandcamp.co
