Join Us
TURBULENCE ? Definition - adjective - very excited or upset, wild and unruly.
\"Terrible on Babylon and strong for the Gideon is how I stand\".
Born in Kingston, St. Andrew on 11th January 1980, the last of three children. Sheldon Campbell a.k.a. Turbulence describes himself with words like positive, determined, brave, kind and generous, a real Rasta.
This talented artist started his career while at school, where he honed his skills on the desktop and behind the auditorium. Growing up he was inspired by the voices of Bob Marley, Garnet Silk, Peter Tosh. Eddie Fitzroy and Jacob Miller.
Turbulence who got his name from an elder Rasta man who saw him \"mash up\" a show under the name \"Double Trouble\". The elder told him to change his name to Turbulence and he has never looked back.
The first recording were done in 1999 for producer Philip \"Fattis\" Burrell on his X-Terminator label titled \"Think of Peace\". Since that he has worked with many labels in Jamaica and internationally.
Apart from being a member of the X-Terminator family he has recorded for labels like Kariang. Cell Block, Scorpio, Mixing Lab, One Love, Tuff Gong, King of Kings, Culcha Lee, and from Germany Mina 7 and FIat 5.
Turbulence and his message are being well received as his songs in rotation an radio. Think of Peace, Give Her What She Want. I Love You So. Yen Yea Yea. Free and Hype, along with his many stage show performances have made him one of the hottest performers coming out of Jamaica.
This key member of the Higher Trod Family has seen wide exposure as the opening act for Sizzla in North America, Europe and the Caribbean, Turbulence message to the world is that there should be no racial discrimination. The strong must help the weak, trust in Rastafari and burn out weakness. For the young entering the wide world Turbulence says hard work is the key to success, know your history as Marcus Garvey said, \"go for what you want with positivity and a clean heart and mind\". More greatness, repatriation and reparation is what Turbulence is looking for in the future.

Music Against Racism & Bogalusa Records |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All Products on the Bogalusa Label in America and worldwide will be released in connection with a new Foundation called MUSIC AGAINST RACISM. This Foundation will be strongly involved with Human Rights and Social Responsibilities. A defined monetary amount per sold unit will go the Foundation fund. All releases will bear the note:
?Bogalusa Records supports Music Against Racism, a foundation dedicated to identifying racism wherever it exists. A portion from this sale helps to fund the foundation?
The Foundation is in the process of being established and was initiated by Jim Bateman (manager / publisher of Gatemouth Brown and Chris Thomas King) , the well-known lawyer Earl G. Perry jr. and Ingo Kleinhammer. The Foundation is based in New Orleans.
The responsibilities are varied but concentrate mainly on the support of minorities in the social area of children and teenagers and of mainly colored inmates in American prisons.
These prisoners have no lobby and their dubious Human Rights treatment in jail is more than often applied with disregard of laws and rules. Ingo Kleinhammer has been active in this area for around 6 years and he has actually been to prisons such as Attica, Rikers Island, Southport, Great Meadows, Coxsackie amongst others. The success of the Label will greatly contribute to even more activity in this area.
It is intended to find other Labels who are also willing to participate. If successful, it is foreseen that the foundation be also established in further countries.

Bogalusa Label Activities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hammer Musik and Ingo Kleinhammer have for some time been pursuing the expansion
of their label activities with special priority on Black Music from America and Jamaica.
Together with Jim Bateman the Bogalusa Label has been founded in New Orleans.
Part of this label are the Bogalusa Songs and Lusa publishing companies.
New Orleans has been criminally ignored by the majors although social conditions and the variety of Live Music provide a large reservoir of talent in all musical directions.
To date, only Universal has been active in Rap.
It is intended that Bogalusa Records will be active in all areas of Black Music. First signing was John Ellison, who carries on the Soul tradition and who some time ago recorded the Superhit ?Some Kind Of Wonderful? as leadsinger of the band Soul Brother Six , one of the few Soulbands to accompany themselves instrumentally. ( As opposed to bands such as the Temptations). In addition to John Ellison, a Live album of the John Handy Quartet Reunion
Concert ? ?Live At Yoshi´s? ? has also been released. Both releases claimed positive reactions. In the meantime, the artist roster has been extended and the activities have widened to Los Angeles and Kingston, Jamaica. Curtis Womack, alias Binky, shows that he has inherited all the Soul of the Womack family and will carry on their success. As a young artist he has without doubt developed his own style. Both his uncles Cecil (Womack & Womack)
and Bobby Womack are very pleased with this development. Bobby couldn?t resist the chance to record two duets with his nephew, including the song ?Crazy About You? which is the title track for Curtis´s new CD-Album to be released in March 2003. At the same time, the first single ?I Can?t Stop The Rain From Falling? will also be released with Remixes from Mike Dippon. Another product from L.A. is an album from R&B legend Fugi who had his greatest success so far with ?Rather Be A Blind Man? which he wrote for Etta James. This song sold 8 million copies ! Fugi wrote this song as a young man in prison and it has been covered since by many R&B greats.
A decisive factor for Bogalusa Records was the meeting between DJ Flava and Ingo Kleinhammer who has a long family connection to Jamaica which goes back to 1972.
Up till now this connection had only yielded a few Reggae Copyrights for Hammer Musik.
D J Flava, aka Kemar Mcgregor, was until recently one of the most important Radio DJ´s in Jamaica and had made a name through sporadic music productions and an unusually intensive co-operation with top Jamaican artists. After long discussions, Flava and Kleinhammer decided to work closely together with a priority of offering artists fair deals.
Until now artists had been compensated with flat payments and had to sign the necessary receipts. Bogalusa , however, requires that all performers are given fair artist and publishing contracts to sign. Kingston Songs was founded to take care of the publishing side.
The Reggae Now logo was designed to give all the Reggae releases on the Label an individual identity and will appear on all Reggae products.
Anthony B. is currently one of the most important Reggae Artists in Jamaica and the fact that he has not released an album for some time increases the expectations for the brand new album ?Smoke Free?. First single taken from this album was ?Champaign / Vacation? which was released on 12? Vinyl and sold 10,000 copies in three weeks in Jamaica and the Caribbean and a Gold record (25,000) is very probable. A 7? vinyl version is currently being prepared in Jamaica and substantial copies have already been ordered. The 12? vinyl includes a large poster (DIN A1 size) which has already found great acceptance in Jamaica and by tourists there.
The 12? vinyl and CD single are being released in Germany at present and distribution there is handled by Zomba who have been especially successful in the Reggae area.
At the end of February the first volume of a special compilation series titled ?Reggae Now? will be released. All new, unreleased tracks featuring Jamaica?s top Artists. The intro is performed by a so-called caller, made famous through film appearances, which gives this compilation a special musical form. Artists such as Sizzla, Anthony B, General B, Curtis & Bobby Womack (with a Ragga version of ?Crazy About You? ) , Mighty Diamonds, George Nooks, Thriller U and Harry Toddler and others complete this unusual compilation. In May the new Album CD from Sizzla, another top star in the Reggae scene, is being released. All CD Albums will also be available on vinyl which is still very important in this music genre.
In Jamaica a 7? vinyl single from Sizzla ?The Girls Dem / Vision ? has been released, selling in one week more than 6,000 copies. Both tracks are taken from the forthcoming Sizzla
album ?Vision?
