An Overdue Update

It's been almost four months since any activity on this site so here's just a quick update to say that I've been very busy recently and haven't been able to spend as much time working on the radio as I would have liked to. Due to some problems that are still occurring on the new radio-hosting service, adding new music has been frustrating, however, I have managed to put some new tracks on for now!

The radio will keep continuing as normal and I will get back to working on it as soon as I have enough free time - I'm looking to refresh the site with the new modern design and hopefully test the waters in some new areas of music so that I can establish what the radio station's style is a bit more. Also, in the summer, I look forward to completing all the work that I started on the iTunes podcast and on the YouTube channel.

I've been overwhelmed with your continual support and from the listening stats it's clear that the radio is still going strong. So, thank you to everyone who is tuning in and thanks for all your kind messages on Twitter, Facebook and at our email!

Anyone who wishes to help on the radio, whether that is by helping out with designs, helping find artists, suggesting music, improving the music rota's, having their own radio show etc, is welcome to -  just email justanotherradio@Gmail.com with the subject 'Helping out with _______!' (so we can find you amongst all the spam mail!).

Thanks,
Stay tuned!

Happy Halloween & music from Kristen Lawrence!



From Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' to our new up-and-coming artist, Kristen Lawrence, at Just Another Radio we will be playing a handful of Halloween treats on the radio! However, as you can probably see, the treats don't end there; the website title has been changed so it is fit for Halloween and we will be revealing the new blog title after Halloween!

One of today's treats is the music from Kristen Lawrence - a musician who contacted us with  great Halloween, classical, gothic and alternative songs. So, being added to one of our up-and-coming artists list, it is almost vital now that we must give you all the information about the artist!

Kristen Lawrence is a talented organist, vocalist and composer from California. She is classically trained and produces gothic music for the Halloween season. 

Influenced by Bach, Tori Amos, Loreena McKennitt, Danny Elfman, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Nightwish, Kristen Lawrence creates a unique set of lyrics and incorporates music styles from a variety of genres to create music in the most elegant and atmospheric way.

Her 'Halloween Carols' have proved a great hit amongst people across the world and we hope you enjoy them! You can read more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristen_Lawrence

Behind-The-Scenes on Just Another Radio - October 2012

Coming Soon

There has been a lot of behind-the-scenes work over the last few weeks so we thought it was about time to tell you what has been going on. Over Summer we had a great run of Feel The Vibe shows which wrapped up Series 2 only a few weeks ago. We announced that we were going to air another Feel The Vibe segment called Feel The Vibe: Playlist for the weeks in between each series of the Feel The Vibe: Shows; it would feature the great new releases of music as well as up-and-coming artists.

Additionally, we have been working on a few improvements to our designs - including the cover photo you can see above. The icon in the centre may be something you will be seeing in the future a lot more; all will be revealed shortly!

As Just Another Radio isn't just another radio (who'd a thought it!) but an online platform, we will be making improvements across the web.

Firstly, YouTube. In a few weeks once we have created some suitable graphics, we will be releasing interviews, music from up-and-coming artists and more onto our YouTube channel 'JustAnotherRadioTV'.

Secondly, Mixcloud. We are making the transition from Spreaker to Mixcloud for our Feel The Vibe shows, so that we interact with a greater audience and you can view the songs in each show.

Then, last but not least, we will debut on iTunes in the form of a podcast. Hopefully before Christmas, a podcast will be release with the finest selection of music from up-and-coming artists, hosted by Adrian (from the Feel The Vibe radio shows)

To top it all off, we will be making general improvements to music playlists on the radio, improving ease of use when submitting music as well as a few Halloween treats from a new up-and-coming artist. Furthermore, we are working closely on a special project that focuses on the audiences interaction with  bands, which hopefully you will see more of in the next few months.

As a quick note, a new Radionomy platform has been released with a new online radio manager. We are waiting a few weeks before we air the Feel The Vibe Playlist shows again so that all the issues with the new platform can be resolved. Follow our tweets @Radio_JAR to stay tuned about the latest things that have been going on and to hear about new projects first!

Maurice - Up-and-Coming Artist - The Pop Artist with Real Talent



There is no denying that Maurice Rabsatt has talent; and at an early age people had picked up on this. Since 2005, Maurice has had many successes with getting his music into film an TV. With four songs on the 'Derailed' film soundtrack - here - this 'fuelled his passion' and since then Maurice has received even more (worthy) recognition. His story and achievements are truly inspirational and we can see him as a successful pop artist in the future.


His single 'Baby' was featured in the Quentin Tarantino film 'The Protector' and he has also sung in front of thousands of people in the NBA playoff's in 2006. As well as this, his music has been used on a Spike TV show called 'Afro Samurai' (featuring Samuel L. Jackson). Now, working more on his new singles, we hope to see Maurice get his own success in the music market in the near future. 


Maurice grew up in St. Thomas Virgin Islands, where he states 'I grew up in the Caribbean and when hurricanes hit the island the power would go out completely, that meant no cable or other distractions so I started listening to the radio a ton and that’s where it began with the music. I started off singing in the choir at church also, so I was exposed to it (music) by default.'. With a voice that is already so suited to the pop music industry, Maurice blends in some Caribbean culture from the main reggae and calypso influences he has had. We found that this Caribbean/Pop infusion makes Maurice stand out as amongst other pop artists and we respect how he has built up his tracks from his culture to  before trying more mainstream ideas to 'give his island family something to relate to'. 

We had the pleasure of asking Maurice some more interview questions to find out some more about him: 
What are your plans for the near future? 
Concerning the future I intend to release 1-3 more singles to continue to build up my buzz. That will determine really when we will release the entire project so stay tuned! I plan on starting my radio promotion in the college market. I think it’s a realistic avenue for me as a new artist. I’m excited to experience this in hopes that it may lead to some college shows!

What led you to become a musician? Who are your main influences?
Music was always something that affected me emotionally. To elaborate, I could be having the worst day and if I put on my favorite song and it doesn’t matter what I went through. Brandy Norwood, Maroon 5, Usher, Adele and the entire Jackson Family!

If you could collaborate with any artist (deceased or living) who would it be?
If I could collaborate, I would love to collaborate with both Brandy and Adam Levine. They’re such different artists that I’m curious to see what sound would come out of our fusion, and of course the late Michael Jackson would have been a humbling and honorable experience.

What has been the best part and hardest part of your career so far? 
The best part and hardest part is being independent. With a major label comes major help, so it’s less stressful on the artist. There are more hands in the pocket with a major but there’s always gives and take in this industry. Not sure where I will end up but I trust that God will guide me like He has been doing already.

Is there a piece of advice that you have stuck to or would give to someone who wanted to pursue a career in music?
Don’t Stop working! With work comes development so never break for long periods of time. Stay consistent in whatever it is you want to do in life.






We love the tracks 'Aoww Woww' and 'Run De Town', which you can listen to previews of here - http://mauriceonline.net/mr/audio-page/. Also, you can check out the music video for Maurice's debut single 'Love Letter' here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cQpVDBlY4s&noredirect=1.

Feel The Vibe :: Playlist


The 'Feel The Vibe' radio show is currently on a short break so that we can work on some new projects, including an iTunes podcast and finding some more new artists. However, as the Feel The Vibe show is such a huge part in our radio, we are planning to create a new segment, currently known as 'Feel The Vibe :: Playlist'
'FtV :: Playlist'  is going to be a playlist of some great songs that fit the Feel The Vibe show's genres and also from our up-and-coming artists. Adrian will still be your host for this awesome playlist event but there will be less talk and more music. 
We are planning to air 'FtV :: Playlist' when we are unable to have a Feel The Vibe show, at the same 8:00pm (UK) time slot on Friday. This means that every Friday you will always be guaranteed to Feel The Vibe! Also, we will have dedicated slots each day to playing a selection of the tracks from Friday's playlist and new playlist entries, presented by Adrian.
The Feel The Vibe playlist will help keep you in tune with the latest music and we can't wait to get it started! We'll announce when the first playlist show is soon!
Feel The Vibe!

Our interview with Jayali plus the other interview to come this series will be going on YouTube as well as other cool things which we will announce as they happen.

Secondly, Feel The Vibe will be making it's way onto iTunes with a new-artists-only podcast. It's going to be a great project and we're working towards getting it done by September or when we have even more artists!

As well as this, you have a few more episodes of Feel The Vibe, Series 2 to look forward to plus new music on the radio. You may or may not have noticed that we have some new jingles which is just one example of the things that we have been up to!

Baker - Not Gonna Wait - Music Video (Up-and-Coming Artist)

Earlier this year in April we featured the great new pop artist, Baker, on our website. We had the privilege of interviewing him and now, this July, we're excited to share with you his latest music video - 'Not Gonna Wait'! The reception for the video has been overwhelmingly positive and only a few weeks after it's release it's already clocked up over 75,000 views and 325 likes!

Also, since April, our article on BAKER has been shown on his official website, you can find it here -  http://www.bakermusic.com/press/baker-featured-just-another-radio!  

1. What can people expect from your album?
The album will be a true pop album. Big dance bangers, big ballads, and everything in between. I think there are a lot of great singles out there right now but not many good albums and I wanna make sure I've earned the right to have a full LP.

2. Who influences your music and style?

I'm influenced by the likes of David Bowie and Bob Dylan and people who've have had careers spanning decades. They had vision and many times didn't listen to anyone else's opinions out of fear and that's what it takes to be a true artist. My style comes from people like James Dean, Alain Delon, and Kanye West for the same reasons. They wear what feels good for them.... 
You can read the rest of the interview on our original post - here.
