Bigup Radio, Inc., operators of the industry-leading BigUp Radio
network of Reggae internet radio stations and leading web-site
( http://www.bigupradio.com ) for Reggae CDs, DVDs, vinyl, news and
reviews, is pleased to announce the milestone 100th Episode of the
Boom Shots show on BigUp Radio.
On announcing that BigUp Radio will be celebrating the 100th episode
throughout the month of October, BigUp Radio's CEO Raoul Krakowski
commented, "Boom has been with us as we grew from thousands of tune-
ins to over two million tune-ins last month and the thousands of fans
who now listen to his show each week understand exactly why we're
thrilled to have him in the BigUp family and to continue bringing our
listeners into the world of DJ Boom."
As the first show to launch on BigUp Radio, Boom Shots laid the
foundation for the lineup of great selectors and programming listeners
have come to expect from Bigupradio.com. Hosted by DJ Boom
(Bassmentality Sound), the idea came for the show when Bigupradio.com
CEO Raoul Krakowski heard a few mixtapes from the Baltimore based
Selector. From a small start, Boom Shots has brought listeners up to
the minute music, celebrity interviews, and a reliable weekly source
for good music.
During the 100 episodes of his Boom Shots show, a who's who of Reggae
music have made guest appearances and done interviews with DJ Boom
including Ziggy Marley, Shaggy, Sizzla, Buju Banton, Elephant Man, Jah
Cure, Da'Ville, Richie Spice, Morgan Heritage, Anthony B, Twin of
Twins and many more.
Boom Shots is a blend of Brand New music, classic singles and artist
interviews which keeps the content fresh and spontaneous. The music
truly is geared for audiences of all demographics and varying levels
of familiarity with Caribbean music. Boom Shots continues to bridge
the gap between the artists and their listeners though artist features
and interviews. Special guests of the show have included well-known
legends as well as up and coming artists.
BigUp listeners are able to tune-in every Wednesday to "Boom Shots," a
two hour program showcasing the latest singles, riddims, remixes and
more, mixed together and presented by DJ Boom. The show airs 3am, 9am,
3pm and 9pm EST to reach both US and European markets. Listeners are
able to hear interviews with their favorite artists as well as request
their songs and win prizes or giveaways.
