Building the UK Urban Gospel Circuit: Roger Moore Cuts It Up with DJ Proclaima | #TheEdge 190
đź’¬ “We came from a time of no YouTube, no Google, no smartphones. When we started, there was literally no urban gospel music to play—so we had to build it.”
Yes, yes, yes, people! Welcome back to The Edge on Affinity Xtra with your host, Roger Moore. In this highly anticipated episode, we are launching a systematic, deep-dive exploration into the raw, unfiltered History of UK Urban Gospel Music. No sugarcoated tales, no sycophantic exaggerations—just the 100% ground-level truth.
Joining Roger in the studio is a certified trailblazer, a massive pillar of consistency, and a true global powerhouse in the gospel reggae scene: DJ Proclaima.
From growing up in the heavy, violent ends of Nottingham (back when it was dubbed “Shooting-ham”) to navigating the traditional church pushback against fresh urban sounds , Proclaima opens up about his incredible journey.
đź•’ What to Expect in This Episode:
The Early Days in the East Midlands: Why Nottingham and Leicester were massive, overlooked cultural hubs for sound system culture and urban gospel in the 90s and 2000s.
* The Gen X & Soul Cure Movement: Looking back at the legendary monthly Gen X events at the Central Methodist Mission and the spiritual warfare behind it.
* Pioneering the YouTube Era: How a corporate marketing background helped Proclaima break global algorithms and rack up millions of views, making gospel reggae universally accessible.
* International Power: Mind-blowing testimonies from touring America with Rico Fogarty, playing outside gun shops, and watching lives completely transform.
* The Future of Content: A hard-hitting take on modern AI-generated music, autotune laziness, the triumphant return of vinyl, and why authenticity will always outlast the “fake food” of the industry.
This is more than a podcast; it’s a living blueprint for the next generation of Christian creatives. It’s time to respect what the trailblazers put in.
