Claat News

You may have aksed yourself what happened (or better: didn´t happen..) here for quite some time. Answer is simple: We been pretty busy with a whole load of other projects and making a lil money to pay the bills etc.

Currently we consider a new concept and a relaunch of the whole site. There is no schedule available yet and it´s not even sure IF it will happen. At least we´re trying to find some spare time to update the site more often again, but that´s no promise too. So, just lean back and see whats happening..

Have a nice time and thanks to all of you who supported us in the past, present and future! Bless!

Do you want to inform us about an event in your area and like to see it listed in our Event Calendar? To make sure we receive all information needed, please read on and use the embedded Event submission form.

In our never ending campaign to deliver you the latest news from Reggae and Dancehall Biz as well as a little Soca and cultural aspect of the music we´re currently recruiting new members for our staff for various positions.
Please note that we cannot pay anything in exchange ´cos we hardly cover the costs, but we will support you in any other way as setting up banners for your biznizz, try to get you into events for free, get you promo releases and much more. Considering our site as a network, we just try to connect people and support each other..
If you´re an ambitious and gifted person either in graphic design, flash animation, writing, coding or if you think you could contribute in any other way, please read on how to apply for the job and which requirements are to meet.

Update!

Please note: We had LOTS of response! Honestly, we expected maybe a hand full of mails, but in fact there are DOZENS already. Rest assured that we received all your applications and are currently reviewing them. After a short time we´ll get back to you with more info. Watch this article for updates! And NO - we´re not closed yet, you can still apply if you wish..

There is a video playing infrequently here and there at least on german television that might have already caught the one or others interest: Some spot that looks like one of those new "Puma" Spots on first sight, going along with a Gentleman ft. Jack Radics tune as the Soundtrack.
On a closer look it turns out to be an awarded Anti-AIDS spot by an organisation called "Brot für die Welt" appealing for affordable medication against HIV especially in third world countries. Read on for more details on that campaign, possibilities to help and the full length video for sure..

As already announced some time ago, we cleaned up the Users´ Database from Duplicate Accounts, Invalid Emailadresses and such. If you cannot login anymore, please head over to the " Lost Password? "-Section and submit any Usernames you registered with and an automatic Email will be sent to the Adress you registered with.
If you register with any invalid or duplicate accounts: You´ll be deleted again, just to let you know. We do not spam with any unsolicited mail so there is just no reason NOT to submit a valid adress.
FYI: Realnames are not displayed anywhere on the site, they´ll become neccessary only if you plan to order in our shops to be launched soon..

In Cooperation with Rastamusic.com and "Dub fi Dub" we were proud to present another high-quality Livestream from "South Clash Vol.2 : Heartival vs. Soul Stereo"!
The event took place on Jan. Sat. 17th, in Luynes, FR and a Live-Stream was available!

Soul Stereo won after the Dub-fi-Dub Rounds. First rounds were pretty well-balanced between Heartical and Soul Stereo

But hey, Xmas is the time for some presents and some vague New Year´s resolutions.. Read on to find out what we got for you!
