Remembering Joel Thomas-JAMKAM SOUND

What more is there to say about Joel that hasn't been said in these beautiful posts on social media?

My dancehall mentors, Dancin' Squad and Skerrit Bwoy, introduced me to you almost 20 years ago; I think the first time was Nasty Tuesdays at the Elite Ark.

You, Mitty, and the dancers that followed you were Brooklyn Dancehall to me.

I loved how you played and would follow you for years. That would span the boroughs-Bronx, Long Island, Manhattan, and Queens. I think even Connecticut and New Jersey. Didn't we all take a road trip to Baltimore or DC? I forget. You were a very pro-dancer DJ, especially for the ladies.

You would shout me out while dancing at parties where I had no business being alongside some of the most talented people I'd ever seen on the dancefloor.

I haven't been to a party you played for some time now, and many of us knew of your health issues.

No more suffering; I'll see you down the road at the All White party up in Heaven, where I hope you will be one of the many great DJs playing dope tunes while our family, friends, and acquaintances dance, the time away.

I appreciate your kindness, displaying your talent, and entertaining so many of us. I am lucky to have experienced that.

Thank you.

Podcast: Talking Video Games and Making a Beat-December 2025 podcast & videos

In this episode, I dive into the excitement around Valve’s newly announced Steam Machine and what it could mean for the future of handheld gaming. I talk about the rise of hybrid console–portable systems, why shorter and more interactive games fit better into my life now, and why the GTA VI delay honestly doesn’t bother me. I also break down the controversy surrounding Rockstar’s recent employee firings and share my thoughts on the gaming community’s obsession with nostalgia. It’s a mix of tech talk, gaming culture, and personal reflections on how I play today. Finally after a work injury kept me home for three months(late last year), I dove into music production, inspired by Marc Rebillet’s improvisational style and the gear he uses. In this episode, I share the audio from my first beat video using this gear. To see/read the articles and videos on these topics, you can find the gaming article here. The beat making post on here. Thoughts, comments, do so below. ...

Recommended Movies & TV. June-December 2022 and Overall Favorites of 2022.

Check out this episode! YouTube Version These are my favorite movies and TV show from June-December 2022. June Insidious 1 & 2 (Amazon & Netflix) I'd never seen the Insidious movies. However, my younger brother watched them and told me they were creepy(which piqued my interest). In June, the first part was available on Prime Video, and the sequel and third films were on Netflix. I binged all three, but I preferred the first two as they wrapped up the Lambert family storyline. Black Phone (movies) The next Blumhouse movie on this list. The movie pundits I follow talked about this Black Phone's great word of mouth from early screenings. Saw this in theaters and was amazed at Ethan Hawke's villainous performance. His 2nd turn as a bad guy in 2022(first in Moon Knight on Disney+ months earlier, but much better here). Umbrella Academy S3 (Netflix) I like the Umbrella Academy and its different take on the superhero genre. The protagonist dysfunctional family consists o...
