Legendary Reggae bands Inner Circle and Third World got close and personal a couple of weeks ago at a press conference at the, as well legendary, Circle House Studio.
Inner Circle, the bad boys of Reggae was formed in the seventies by brothers Ian and Roger Lewis, in Jamaica, with Jacob Miller as their lead singer.
Jacob Miller recorded with the band until his death in a car accident at the age of 27 in 1980.
This Grammy Award winning quintet is now based in Miami.
The band has a long long history and was one of the most popular in Jamaica during the 1970s, and one of few Reggae bands that performed live back then.
They are responsible for many hits, like the very popular song ‘Bad Boys’,’Sweat’, the list is long including several new and hot remixes from I-Octane to Adele.
Inner Circle is a band that has been around forever and toured extensively all over the world.
In 1973 Stephen “Cat” Coore and Richard “Ibo” Cooper started their own band, Third World, whose hits included, ‘Now That We Found Love’ and ’96 Degrees in the Shade’, ‘Cool Meditation’ and many others.

INNER CIRCLE ‘GAMES PEOPLE PLAY’
Inner Circle and Third World are proving them self as Jamaican Reggae’s longest-running and best-known bands.
Today members of the group run also Circle House Studios, a respected recording studio and facility in Miami, where rappers 2 Live Crew, Nas, The Game, Snoop, just to mention some, as well as soul singer Joe Tex and many others stopped by.
THIRD WORLD – 96 DEGREES IN THE SHADE
The same studio where a lot of top music producers like Don Corleon and artists like Mavado and I-Octane stop by on regular basis in these present days to craft the sound of their songs.
A couple of weeks ago Inner Circle & Third World opened up their studio’s doors for a press conference hosted by Lance-o, from Kulcha Shok, answering questions about the past, present and future of the bands and their current projects.
The murals, the music, the food, the vibes, the reasoning…it really felt like being in Jamaica chilling in the yarda. Everything Irie.Â


Now, a couple of decades after their musical debut, both those two bands manage to stay current and also relevant and are still touring the world and having a strong core of fans everywhere because they are keeping the fire blazing with a lot and hot new collaborations tracks with artists like Gong Zilla, Bizerk, I-Octane and many others being able to talk to different generations of fans worldwide.
