CLIPS FROM JAG 1 SOUND IN JAMAICA 06/07!! ALSO GENERAL PHOTO'S - ENJOY.
Hailing from a place called ACTON W3 in the WEST of LONDON is a young formidable sound known as the (multi award winners) JAG 1 FAMILY, consisting of two versatile selectors/mic men who go by the name of DANGER & SLIM DIZZLE. The first of the selectors goes by the name of DANGER, who was born in KINGSTON 12, JONES TOWN, JAMAICA where at the age 6 he moved up to a different part of JAMAICA called WHITEHALL where he was heavily influenced by the reggae culture, for the next 7 years he grew up around some of JAMAICAs finest recording artists such as BUJU BANTON, SANCHEZ, RED DRAGON, FLOUGAN & LIZARD. It was there he met his family member soon to be mentor the late (multi award winning) DJ VILLAGE
It was at the age of 13 when DANGER first arrived in LONDON, where he lived in SOUTH ACTON W3 attended BRENTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL in WEST LONDON, he then established a bond with three other high school members sharing the same musical taste as him, it was at this point in 1997/98, that they formed the sound JAG 1 FAMILY with the former members STAN DA MAN, TICO TEK9 & the late KRAZY KRIS. With the guidance of DJ VILLAGE, who was regularly promoting successful dances in ACTON TOWN HALL (Cant Believe My Eyes Pt.1-6) & WHISPERS NITE SPOT (Zimm Zimma Pt.1-4) the JAG 1 FAMILY was receiving more exposure in the dancehall scene. This was followed by a regular slot on LONDONs then biggest radio station CRUISE FM. At this time DANGERS friend of the family SLIM DIZZLE was a keen youth eager to learn about the music industry. It was for a duration of a good few years that the JAG 1 FAMILY had an eventful time, however during this period a number of changes took place that resulted in a few members having to pursue other avenues in their life leaving JAG 1 FAMILY still a household name.
The second selector SLIM DIZZLE born in ACTON W3, WEST LONDON started off his career at the age of 14 years old practicing the art of mixing GARAGE with HIP HOP. He had a rich source of influence from his father who was a selector of the former DIAMOND SOUND, from WEST LONDON. This introduced him to different genres of music from REVIVAL to RAGGA, RARE GROOVE to HIP HOP & RNB, in which his older brother would be drumming from his bedroom. Another source of influence came from his West Indian heritage & his many visits to his mothers birth place of BARBADOS where he learnt about SOCA & CALYPSO music, at the same time back in LONDON he would listen to his cousins KEN YOUNG BLOOD & also the NASTY ROCKERS.
By the age of 15 SLIM DIZZLEs father had seen the potential he had & gave him an impressive 3hour set in a blues party in which he swept the much elder ladies off their feet with such selections as SANCHEZ (One in a million), BERES HAMMONDs (One Dance), DERRICK HARRIOTs (Groovy Situation). The response from the party showed SLIM DIZZLE had a natural talent for music & entertaining, though it took a number of years for him to see his potential.
Drawing to the close of 2004 an unstoppable tag team was formed with DANGERs distinctive style of hyping a large or small crowd & SLIM DIZZLEs high speed selecting an swift mixing, JAG 1 FAMILY was assured success. With both selectors in their early 20s the name JAG1 has already accomplished playing along some of the top selectors & sounds such as .
