19 Broadway Bar and Night Club Presents...Roots Reggae from St Croix, Midnite!
Midnite blends the cultural lyrics of "old school" roots music with modern day experiences to create a unique listening encounter. Roots reggae is a subgenre of reggae that deals with the everyday lives and aspirations of the artists concerned, a Midnite's musical style, no frills of extensive remixes and overdubbing.
Their debut album, “Unpolished” includes such classics as “Love the Life You Live”, “Mama Africa” and “Don’t Move”. In 1999, Midnite worked with with Wildchild! Records for their second album, "Ras Mek Peace". Amazingly, this album was recorded using only two channels and was mastered with no reverb, compression, filtering or equalization.
Following the release of the second album, Midnite returned to St. Croix so that they could work with the local musicians and make recordings at their African Roots Lab without any outside interference. This hailed the release of their third album titled "Jubilees of Zion", released on their independent Afrikan Roots Lab record label.
In their quest to break all the rules and produce a unique sound that is on the cutting edge of modern roots music, Midnite made their Northern California debut (June 2002) at the 9th Annual Sierra Nevada World Music Festival. On the same month, they have successfully released their fourth album "Seek Knowledge Before Vengeance” again, released under Afrikan Roots Lab record label.
