Infomation about releases and catalog are found at http://www.traxsource.com http://junodownload.com Here is an Interview by Carmen Mitchell aka Princess Tam Tam about SammyRock and Cyberjamz.(2006). How did you get your start in the music business? "I started in the music business with a Mobile DJ operation in 1980-1988. I started by collecting 45s and albums from my parents at the age of seven years old. I now have over 20,000 records which I continue to use to make the business work. I have spun for over twenty-four years and entertained party people till this very day! I've also played music in various New York City clubs and Radio Stations". How and why did Cyberjamz Radio begin? "Cyberjamz Internet Radio began when some people were discussing the possibility of the death of dance music in general. In order to prove that our musical culture was and is still alive, an outlet was needed for djs to express themselves in order to continue our musical journey and connect with true house music lovers; hence, came the creation of Cyberjamz Internet Radio http://cyberjamz.com". . What do you think of the role of traditional broadcast radio when compared to online and satellite radio?< i> "The role is quite different in that in traditional radio there is a select format that must be followed vs. online and satellite radio, where a programer has more flexablitity to express themselfs and there are no FCC regulations to follow,also there is more freedom of speech,less formatting and more music: this is what I love about online and satellite radio". How you recruit people for your programming? "I recruit the broadcasters based on their demo mix tape session, knowledge of all genre of music and of course character". "I would not consider someone for programming based on how popular they are or their ego". "They must be able to become part of the family and work as one unit and keep the music and programing interesting by connecting with the listeners".. Where did you get the name Cyberjamz from? "Funny you should ask this"."I sat down to think for a minute in front of my computer"."It was like a bolt of lighting!! I stood up and said to myself, all these wonderful people connected in the "Cyber" world, why not serve them with some "Jams" aka Tunes". "It really took some time for the name to stick, but by the next day I had convinced myself that the words Cyber(space) and Jams fit well together."I then wrote both words(with the help of Lola we decided to change the last letter from "s" to "z", we now have a place to call home for music: Cyberjamz Radio"! Where do you see Cyberjamz five or ten years from now? "It been five years now that Cyberjamz has been in the forefront of the underground music scene". "We have and still are progressing, by adding new shows and the creation of channel 2, in that respect we have evolved into something special". "As far as the future for Cyberjamz Radio"? "Only the spiritual world knows for sure, but what I can say is that Cyberjamz Radio and the supporters love our station and appreciate all the hard work that went into creating something out of nothing". "It can be done with a positve vision and the drive to make it work". "Hopefully we will expand and add multiple Cyberjamz Channels to serve different audiance around the world". Cyberjamz Japan, Cyberjamz UK, Cyberjamz Europe, ect". "The next step is to take Cyberjamz to cable T.V with live streaming and video"."All we can do is hope and keep our dreams alive". How had the internet changed your relationship with and to music and the industry? "The internet is a fantastic way to convert the unconverted"."This has been a great opportunity to express and share our love for music"."Reach people that otherwise cannot attend dance clubs or are working and would love to hear music via the internet"."New technology(cell phones,roku recievers,ect) make it possible for anyone to connect to a live feed from our broadcasters/djs from all over the world"."This is what makes Cyberjamz Radio special". "The industry has now taken notice of our station and the ways of the cyber-world,also the music industry now understands the power of the internet; therefore their music can be heard by a much larger audience than regular radio, especially if it's in the genre of Dance Music". "With this said, the music industry has now embraced the fact that internet radio stations like Cyberjamz can and will make a difference in sales"."I feel confident that we can help the labels by promoting thier music, help better prepare a marketing tool for their upcoming releases,and by allowing us to market their product before it hits the stores"."This is something Cyberjamz Radio is very proud to be a part of by preserving our musical culture and keeping house music traditional".
