All the CDs on this site were digitally re-mastered from cassettes, 8-Tracks tapes and 2inch reel-to-reel tapes. Each CD is "spliced" (ability to skip tracks) but are played in a continuous/non-stop format, such as today's retail mixed tapes and CDs. All offering digital quality playback. A process that took over two years of hit and miss to find the perfect quality.

The founder of movibesonline was born in Kingston, Jamaica at Jubilee Hospital.
He spent many years of his life growing in areas such as Franklin Town, Waterhouse and Edge Water, where music seem to be more accessible than food. There, he was schooled by his elders about the differences between mainstream reggae and live ghetto music. The real sounds that focused on revolution, suffering, faith, empowerment and talent.

Thus began the a twenty year quest to collect and listen to most, if not all, the greatest live dancehall events that Jamaica produced from the late 70's to today.

These sounds were not played on the radio at the time, they were considered rebellious by the authorities and was mainly associated with the Rastafarian movement in Jamaica.

Since then, the music has crossed global boundaries and has claimed a strong foothold on all continent. Widely accepted in Germany, London, Japan, America, Canada, Egypt, Switzerland, among others.

Today it has become some of the most sought after genre of music globally, specifically the 70's, 80's and early 90's.

movibesonline takes special care in the music selected for this website. We do not promote violence in anyway, nor do we choose to support titles that have "gun talk", unless they speak out against it. This is all about accessibility to conscious "live" foundation music.

So take comfort in what we have to offer, we know our music.
