'Hold Tight'
Now available on Itunes, Amazon and all digital stores and services Ladies & Gents, after much demand, Otis Irie has decided to re-release one of his most popular tracks
"Hold You Tight".
This was a joint decision as we both feel the track has huge potential but this time around we feel we can promote and market the track in a way that's relevant to Otis as an artist in his own right with the right energy and karma around such a great song.
Written and produced by Otis, we have now entered "Hold You Tight" into the Stevie J Reggae Charts on Sting Dem Radio as well as a few more tricks up our sleeves to be revealed soon so watch this space and Hold Tight!
All You Need Is A "Lil'' Imagination
Urban Delight Ent. is thrilled to announce that we are actively working with Errol Kennedy, original member and co-founder of the band Imagination. This Soul/Funk band was formed in the early '80s and was possibly the most successful British band at that time. For the record, "Body Talk" peaked at number 4 in the UK singles charts and spent 18 weeks in the top 50.
"In And Out Of Love" and "Flashback" reached number 16 and their biggest hit "Just An Illusion went to number 2 in the UK. They had hits in 28 countries earning many platinum, gold, and silver discs in just 3 years. Imagination was so successful that their European Tour was a total sell-out. The band frequently appeared on Top of the Pops - the music show of the era that had a huge impact on the worldwide music scene.
Errol launched his DJ debut at Legends Nightclub in Gillingham, Dorset with a 70's & 80's themed event called "FLASHBACK" Errol is closely working with the team as a Mentor as well as supporting us on various projects, and some great plans for 2021!

'TRIBUTE TO TRIBUTION'
Steve can only be described 'as a real character,' having a huge passion for Garage music, (a designated Arsenal supporter,) and a boxing fan. In fact, the football factory was one of his favorite films. Specializing in UK Garage, House, Drum & Bass; under the name of, 'Tribution Productions'. Having been thru many trials in his life partly due to illness and subsequent hospital admissions, Steve deeply desired to have his tracks available worldwide. This was made possible when he came across Mark Matthew aka Mighty Mini. Mark played his song, 'Believe In You,' to Steve and it struck such an intensely personal chord within him, creating an instant bond. Steve went on to produce this inspirational track.
'Believe In You' debuted on Touch FM, Steve being a DJ for the station, Ironically this track was played by the BBC a few days prior Saturday 9th March. The reason for Steve and Mark's exceptional connection was due to the fact they both faced similar challenges within the industry. Thankfully Steve's final days where full of joy with 'Believe In You' scheduled for general release Friday 22nd of March and we had also given Steve and Mark the news they had been waiting for; a radio interview with Flex FM (101.4FM) to discuss the issues so dear to their hearts.
Steve was extremely excited and could hardly wait, singing "Skippy dippy do catch a star or two" from the song. This was a catalyst inspiring such an engaging project designed to reach a multitude of people which would, Steve felt, also take UK garage to new levels, Steve who was in full creative flow had already made future plans with the team which included more songs in the pipeline for Mark, other artists from the team as well as being commissioned to do a remix along with another of one of our producers of Errol Kennedy (Imagination) song,
'One In A Million.'
Being a "One In A Million, and a major loss to the team of which we express sincere condolences to all family and friends. Our greatest desire, by way of honoring Steve, is to see 'Believe In You' project to fruition, with the challenge of pushing the song into the National charts.
Jaz Mckenzie.

Hi Commissioner!
Urban Delight Ents. Macky McPherson meets His Excellency Mr. Seth George Ramocan, Jamaica's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom to discuss music mentoring and more. With further meetings planned for 2019, watch this space for some very exciting projects.
Leg-ends!
After taking on Legends Nightclub Dorset in August of 2017, which was one of our biggest venue challenges to date, Urban Delight Ents. have decided that it's time to part company and look for a fresh new challenge for 2018.
The Dream Team trio; Macky McPherson, Laz Spice, and Debbie Batten's Initial objective was to preserve the club's license and improve the look and image of the club with a mini refurbishment, major clean up operation, including new security & bar staff. We adopted an all hands on deck approach, which was great fun and enabled us to bond with a brand new team, who did an excellent job in helping us improve the club's reputation. Working with an extremely limited budget was very difficult and very testing at times, however, the goals were achieved with great results under the circumstances and the friends we met along the way were a bonus. The Dorset community was very helpful in providing information on the club's previous history as well as pointing out the daunting task that laid ahead.
"I really didn't think we would be here as long as this, initially we were only expected to steady the ship for a few months until the New Year," said Macky.
This appointment was like The Bar Rescuer meets Hell's Kitchen, The Hotel Inspector, and The Apprentice all wrapped into one, with a minimal budget but yet again, a job well done!
I guess that makes us "Legends" who'll soon be coming to a venue near you!
'Legends'
Always up for a challenge, Urban Delight Ents. took over management of struggling Dorset nightclub, 'Legends.' in August 2017 on a short term arrangement. The highly resourceful trio Macky McPherson, Debbie Batten, and Laz Spice have given the club a total overhaul and introduced events for youngsters and clubbers of all ages. The aim is to make a huge impact in the area as 'Legends' grows in popularity. The club is currently featuring a mix of DJs and live acts, with more ideas in the pipeline.
