Each and every Sunday it’s Marinate Sundays with Federation Sound at Medusa Lounge. Kenny Meez holds it down with special guests. This week Gregg Nyce and Romes will be in the spot. Gregg is constantly featured on here for his flawless mixing in the Lunch Box series or his numerous remixes. Romes is your favorite DJ when you head out to clubs like Pearl, Denim etc. Romes is part of the working DJ’s in bottle service clubs that have the event name and random details featured instead of who is spinning. Needless to say he is in the top tier of quality Philly DJ’s.
Gregg Nyce just released a pack of reggae blends featuring the Snoop x Kid Cudi x Diplo produced That Tree. Grab them here from mediafire.

Another round of snow outside and it sure as hell doesn’t feel like Jamaica outside, but it will definitely sound like it (and I bet the gyals and rude bwoys will be lookin’ the part too, knamean?) inside the Robinson Ballroom on Saturday night. Philly is a convenient halfway point for a northeastern throwdown, pitting selectors from DC, NYC, and PHL for the title of selector of the year 2k9 at the inaugural Selectors Ball.
Champe of West Philly radio station WBEP’s Lion’s Den (yr total reggae fix every Saturday on the getting-ready-hrs) will be DJing — in the JA sense, that means MC — the event. As the flyer would indicate, this jawn goes late in North (North North) Philly.
Brand new Major Lazer video for Keep It Goin Louder featuring Nina Sky & Ricky Blaze. This one is directed by Eric from the Tim & Eric show. Eric also directed Pon De Floor. Personally I think I like the original Keep It Goin Louder video. This one is just creepy.
Can’t let Casi G hog all the blog since I rolled out to LDN for the weekend just to hang with that joker. Even though it’s halfway through the weekend, it’s not like any of you Philly cats are really over here (other than Mad Decent, but they’ve got their own party). Mostly it’s a chance to brag about all the amazing Notting Hill Carnival weekend parties!
Gregg Nyce just hit us up with Lunchbox 7 (Summer Daze).
45 Minutes of flavor at the crib…LunchBox 8 probably coming later in August…it’s time to relax & enjoy the end of SummerTime.
Summer Daze features all the newest tracks from Beastie Boys & Nas to Wale, Curren$y, Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne, Flippa Mafia, Elephant man and more. Enjoy.
