LISTEN TO THE PODCAST HERE. Dave Susser (aka DJ Gravy) is a Reggae/Dancehall aficionado who helped bring that particular culture in the form of the Rice and Peas party into Downtown NYC nightlife in the mid-2000s. Raised in the Bronx, Gravy was exposed to many cultures and ethnicities at a young age. In addition, his mother(a linguist and teacher) introduced him and his older brother to world travel. They had a friend on an airline who hooked them up with inexpensive fare — allowing the three to travel to the U.K., India, Egypt, Greece, and more. As he became older, this combination of experiences gave Gravy the confidence to explore the melting pot, music, and various cultures around New York City. Reggae music resonated with him the most. He recalls attending concerts by iconic artists such as Buju Banton and Beenie Man. He was drawn to the atmosphere, the D.J.s, the called responses, the roar of the crowd as their favorite songs came on. That same energy with international, downtown...

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST HERE The first Dancehall Queen on the podcast!   Charm is an extremely talented, trophy-winning dancer and choreographer whom I've known for nearly two decades.    Charm(real name Shari)is originally from Barbados and migrated to the U.S. with her mother at the age of 3.   Mom was a ballroom dancer who would sew her own dresses for dance functions.    During kindergarten, Shari wanted to take ballet classes.   Her mother enrolled her and began Charm's dance journey.   Ballet training would continue until high school.   She also joined the school band and made it to the nationals in her senior year 2005.    At 16, she started getting into Dancehall.   Watching music videos from Sean Paul inspired her to dig into the genre.   Being raised in Brooklyn, it also helped that others in her age group were into this style.  Charm's mother started allowing her to go to parties at this time.  This lead...

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST HERE Check out this episode! Erick Jael Fuentes is a dancer I'd see in local dance classes and on my Instagram feed.   One late night in 2019, we both attended a party.  He impressed me with his different styles on the dancefloor.   He's Hispanic like me, and in this NYC Dancehall space, Hispanic male dancers are few and far between.  I was curious to speak with him; we got a chance to do so before the pandemic. Erick is originally from Mexico City.    He feels he was born into dance as his parents, Alejandra and Galdino, met at a block party.   Erick's parents came to America to make money and support him.   He stayed behind with his grandmother, Silvia, who raised him.   Silvia would teach dance classes to the public at the 'Casa De La Cultura.'   She taught what excited her, such as Cumbia, Mambo, Swing, and more.   Erick started following along at four years old.    There is a stig...

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST HERE YouTube Version I met Jozee last summer(2019). A mutual friend started bringing her to the dancehall parties I would attend. She gave me a good vibe and was open to learning about our community. Listening to Jozee reminds me of my enthusiasm when I was introduced to dancehall. In my teens(late 80s-90s), I'd go to neighborhood basement parties where hip hop, house music, RnB played. There would always be a reggae segment. I thought it was cool, but didn't grab my attention as it does now. In the early 2000s, I would religiously go to Club Speeed in NYC, every Sunday. DJ Mister Cee would play the latest and greatest hip hop. He as well would have a small reggae segment. But it was current dancehall and soca, which I wasn't exposed to. This wasn't 'Murder She Wrote,' or 'Twice My Age.' But Busy Signal, Elephant Man, and a new artist called Ding Dong with his tune 'Badman Forward, Badman Pullup.' Whe...
