This is the first magazine thats includes the both genres i am doing. it also includes the social media e.g interactions with the audience which is important for the magazine as it also needs help to make it a better magazine. it is issued out monthly, so it has a month to make corrections for the up coming issue that they are going to issue out. it is very different form other online magazine as it that they keep it simple and its not busy but its just plain and simple  and it is very effective rather than it being jammed up.the way it is set up, it like having a a actual magazine in your hands but only its on the computer.

The word "reggae" was coined around 1960 in Jamaica to identify a "ragged" style of dance music, that still had its roots in New Orleans rhythm'n'blues. However, reggae soon acquired the lament-like style of chanting and emphasized the syncopated beat. It also made explicit the relationship with the underworld of the "Rastafarians" (adepts of a millenary African faith, revived Marcus Garvey who advocated a mass emigration back to Africa), both in the lyrics and in the appropriation of the African nyah-bingi drumming style (a style that mimicks the heartbeat with its pattern of "thump-thump, pause, thump-thump"). Compared with rock music, reggae music basically inverted the role of bass and guitar: the former was the lead, the latter beat the typical hiccupping pattern. The paradox of reggae, of course, is that this music "unique to Jamaica" is actually not Jamaican at all, having its foundations in the USA and Africa.
An independent label, Island, distributed Jamaican records in the UK throughout the 1960s, but reggae became popular in the UK only when Prince Buster's Al Capone (1967) started a brief "dance craze". Jamaican music was very much a ghetto phenomenon, associated with gang-style violence, but Jimmy Cliff's Wonderful World Beautiful People (1969) wed reggae with the "peace and love" philosophy of the hippies, an association that would not die away. In the USA, Neil Diamond's Red Red Wine (1967) was the first reggae hit by a pop musician. Shortly afterwards, Johnny Nash's Hold Me Tight (1968) propelled reggae onto the charts. Do The Reggay (1968) by Toots (Hibbert) And The Maytals was the record that gave the music its name. Fredrick Toots Hibbert's vocal style was actually closer to gospel, as proved by their other hits (54-46, 1967; Monkey Man, 1969; Pressure Drop, 1970).
A little noticed event would have far-reaching consequences: in 1967, the Jamaican disc-jockey Rudolph "Ruddy" Redwood had begun recording instrumental versions of reggae hits. The success of his dance club was entirely due to that idea. Duke Reid, who was now the owner of the Trojan label, was the first one to capitalize on the idea: he began releasing singles with two sides: the original song and, on the back, the instrumental remix. This phenomenon elevated the status of dozens of recording engineers.
Reggae music was mainly popularized by Bob Marley  (, first as the co-leader of the Wailers, the band that promoted the image of the urban guerrilla with Rude Boy (1966) and that cut the first album of reggae music, Best Of The Wailers (1970); and later as the political and religious (rasta) guru of the movement, a stance that would transform him into a star, particularly after his conversion to pop-soul melody with ballads such as Stir It Up (1972), I Shot The Sheriff (1973) and No Woman No Cry (1974).
Among the reggae vocal groups, the Abyssinians' Satta Massa Gana (1971) is representative of the mood of the era.

Music Genre 

I picked dancehall and bashment because i listen to it on a regular and its one of my favourite music genre of all time.

Dancehall is a genre of Jamaica popular music  that originated in the late 1970s.Initially dancehall was a more sparse version of reggae  than the roots  style, which had dominated much of the 1970s. In the mid-1980s, digital instrumentation became more prevalent, changing the sound considerably, with digital dancehall (or "ragga") becoming increasingly characterized by faster rhythms.Dancehall also known as Bashment and Ragga, is music of the youths and there are Dancehall artistes from many different Caribbean islands.Popular Jamaican Dancehall artistes are Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Elephant Man and Sean Paul.

Reggae is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. 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 evolved out of the earlier genres ska and rocksteady.
The famous artist to rise up in Jamaica at the 20th and 21st century include Buju Banton, Damian marley,Tarrus Reily  and the king of Reggae himself Mr Bob Marley. These are just a small number of artists of reggae .
 My idea is to do a magazine of both dancehall and reggae mixed together even though half of the Dancehall artist are not even aloud to leave Jamaica and come across the Uk. Therefore i am doing something that has never been done before as it says in the brief.

SPIN

The masthead is very simple and very clear and it is on the left hand corner at the top. Its also highlighted in RED while the words spin are in white also in capital letters.the theme colours are "dull" as they include black and white which are boring colours and they are the ones that are dominating the website but the SPIN on the top is the one that stands out maybe because it is important, which means it has stand out.

The images on the website are of music artist mainly rap and hip hop, mostly their black and white it is a dark and very dull. nothing really stands out even the pictures of the artist. even though you can see the artist but it is too dark maybe thats what makes them different from others.

The layout is very clear,simple,modern and easy to use as the have tubs "
