As far as new content goes this month, it's a little quiet as we are doing loads of things behind the scene ready for the new year and our staff haven't had that much time to write new stuff. However, we do have JumpUp's reviews of "The Big Chill Festival" and the awesome album from Chezidek called "Judgment Time", so check them reviews now..

This song is our reaction to the anual insanity which catches our home town when the nuclear transport comes in autum time. 15,000 police forces, this means 15,000 weappons in our town, ongoing identification controling, if you’re causing suspect. “If you see the police man a come warn a brother.”
There is a public voting in combination with the contest where the winners have the chance to get 10 free t-shirts, we would apprecilove your support by voting for “droegenbwoys”.

The “Droegenbwoys – Keine Sachbeschädigung” CD is still available on our home page http://www.reggae-rebel-farm.net/ where you can order the album for 5,00 € (shipment included). A dub version of the CD with dubmixes from international top producers will be out in the end of 2010.
This month sees the first official release from our brand new record label UKRG Records. "Dub Master EP" by Digikal Roots" is a 4 track album which features some heavy weight dub tracks from one of our resident UKRG Radio DJ's and is available to download now from all major online retailers such as iTunes and Napster etc. Check out our review of the album now.
Also coming later this month we will be doing a special feature on Digikal himself, including an interview with da man plus reviews of other past releases from the dub master, please call back soon for more..
We also have a review of the recent Beautiful Days Festival which is always a cool place to hang out and enjoy the last days of summer and this year was no exception with the weather doing what it should do, check the review right now.
Our regular visitors and members will have also noticed a fresh new look to our site this month, this new look is part of a revamp currently going on and will also include new sections such as UKRG Records information and details of our signed artists plus we also have a brand new UKRG Shop coming soon where you can securely purchase CD's and downloads direct from our site. Please keep checking the site over the coming weeks for more information and details of these new changes.
I've just spent the last 48 hours reformatting and reinstalling Windows and all my apps after getting a virus that basically killed my machine. The virus came in via a Java app on a website and this is now becoming quite a common thing as I have heard plenty of people over this past few months say the same thing with very similar viruses. Many of these people never go to or do any dodgy downloading, their problems started with apps that are found on fairly safe sites such as Facebook. Even if you are using a good safe browser such as Firefox, there is a flaw within the Java system that allows unwanted stuff to be downloaded and then run on your system without you knowing about it or even clicking on anything.
Because of this flaw, UKRG has removed anything relating to Java from our website and I would suggest to all our members that you uninstall Java Runscript from your PC and avoid any plugins or apps on website's that use Java. There are a few dangerous viruses going around at the moment that basically rip out Windows Explorer from your system and when that happens, you can't run or do anything and some even make it very hard to back up your data before you have to reformat.
As anyone who knows me will tell you, I am very paranoid about where I go and what I do on the internet but this one got into my system without me clicking on anything dodgy and my AV picked it up but after the damage had been done...
Be safe out there - there plenty of evil people around.... DOWN WITH BABYLON!!!
Greetings from UK Reggae Guide
I am writing to you to offer the opportunity to dj a live Friday night special as part of our
ongoing commitment to roots & dub music.
Friday night is the slot we leave open for such specials to happen, featuring different dj,s and soundsystems from around the globe, this is a good way of promotion for up & coming dances, new material, and helps reach a wider audience.
This is an ongoing opportunity and we hope to feature many of you over the coming year.
If you feel you are interested in doing a Friday special, please get back to me to discuss details further (time, promotion, software for streaming etc)
Uk Reggae Guide Radio is a station dedicated to the movement of conscious and righteous vibes.
If a Friday special is not something you can do, but feel you could contribute to the station in other ways, such as jingles, music, or tickets to give away in competitions please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.
Give thanks
The reason for this is to keep you all updated on any radio related news, happenings, promos etc.
Why not mass mail from grou.ps you ask?
This is because the database will also include non UKRG members such as labels, soundsystems, promoters.
Everything is in the strictest of confidence and will be used only for the above mentioned purpose.
please email your details to digikal.roots@ukreggaeguide.co.uk
