Move It!
''Move It!'' is the first album by the American electronic dance music project Reel 2 Real which had seven top 10 hits on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the 1990s. Critical reception AllMusic said, "Heard in clubs all over the world and still one of the most frequently licensed compilation tracks, Reel 2 Reel's "I Like to Move It," still sounds as hot today as it did when it first came out in 1993. The pulsing synths and sirens of the song made for an instant wall shaker. The mastermind of super DJ and remixer Erick Morillo, ''Move It'' combines the textures of Latin house music with a reggae vibe. Morillo is one of the world's bussiest and most sought-after DJs and remixers. Some of ''Move It''s other standout tracks are "Raise Your Hands," "Can You Feel It?," and "Conway"." Caroline Sullivan from ''The Guardian'' wrote, "The first single by this handbag-techno crew, "I Like to Move It", lingered in the chart for 20 weeks.

Are You Ready For Some More?
''Are You Ready for Some More?'' is the third and final album released by the house and reggae-influenced musical project Reel 2 Real. By the end of 1996, the producer, Erick Morillo, had abandoned the alias Reel 2 Real and began establishing himself as an underground DJ. Critical reception AllMusic editor John Bush wrote, "Reel 2 Real's sophomore album is a bit less focused on hit singles, especially so considering it doesn't contain the megahit "I Like to Move It". Though there are plenty of charting singles included -- the title track "Mueve la Cadera (Move Your Body)", "Jazz It Up", -- Morillo attempts to diversify, including another update of the Gamble-Huff chestnut "Now That We Found Love" and the ballad "Love Hurts." He's only occasionally successful, though, making one wish he'd stick to hit singles."

Reggae
Reggae () is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s. The term also denotes the modern popular music of Jamaica and its diaspora. A 1968 single by Toots and the Maytals, " Do the Reggay" was the first popular song to use the word "reggae", effectively naming the genre and introducing it to a global audience. While sometimes used in a broad sense to refer to most types of popular Jamaican dance music, the term ''reggae'' more properly denotes a particular music style that was strongly influenced by traditional mento as well as American jazz and rhythm and blues, and evolved out of the earlier genres ska and rocksteady. Reggae usually relates news, social gossip, and political commentary. It is instantly recognizable from the counterpoint between the bass and drum downbeat and the offbeat rhythm section. The immediate origins of reggae were in ska and rocksteady; from the latter, reggae took over the use of the bass as a percussion instrument. Reggae is d ...

Muzik
''Muzik'' was a British dance music magazine published by IPC Media from June 1995 to August 2003. ''Muzik'' was created by two former ''Melody Maker'' journalists, Push and Ben Turner. Push was the editor of ''Muzik'' from its launch until he left the magazine in 1998, at which point Turner took over as editor. The title was subsequently edited by Conor McNicholas, who went on to edit ''NME''.

The magazine sold over 50,000 copies a month at its peak, but was closed down by IPC Media just one issue short of its 100th edition.

The Mad Stuntman
Mark Quashie (born 24 January 1967), better known as The Mad Stuntman, is a Trinidadian-born American electronic dance artist and vocalist. Quashie's moniker was inspired by the 1980s action/adventure television program ''The Fall Guy'' which starred actor Lee Majors as a Hollywood stuntman, moonlighting as a bounty hunter. Making his home in Brooklyn, New York, The Mad Stuntman was introduced to producer/DJ Erick Morillo by Panamanian reggae artist El General, who is dubbed the "Father of Reggaeton". Morillo was looking for an act to be featured on his upcoming single "Go On Move" and to ultimately join him on tour as a group. "Go On Move" was originally intended to be an underground dub track, primarily instrumentals with minimal vocal showcasing on the hook, however the distinct energetic rough reggae style vocals of The Mad Stuntman propelled the 1992 single into mainstream success, and prompted its modification for commercial release. "Go On Move" peaked at number 6 on t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Reel 2 Real Albums
A reel is an object around which a length of another material (usually long and flexible) is wound for storage (usually hose are wound around a reel). Generally a reel has a cylindrical core (known as a '' spool'') with flanges around the ends (known as the ''rims'') to retain the material wound around the core. In most cases the core is hollow in order to pass an axle and allow the reel to rotate like a wheel, and crank or handles may exist for manually turning the reel, while others are operated by (typically electric) motors. Construction The size of the core is dependent on several factors. A smaller core will obviously allow more material to be stored in a given space. However, there is a limit to how tightly the stored material can be wound without damaging it and this limits how small the core can be. Other issues affecting the core size include: * Mechanical strength of the core (especially with big reels) * Acceptable turning speed (for a given rate of material mo ...
