Exit Online Label in this new season introduces the audience to yet another name from domestic music scene, a grand reggae crew IrieFM. For all the lovers of root reggae sounds created by this highly talented music collective, album "Skills of the Youths" is available for free download at http://exitmusic.tv
IrieFM started by playing traditional roots reggae enriched by jazzy bras moments. As they grew more mature as a band, their music gained plenty of new dub, soul, and punky reggae features. Recognized as Jamaican spirit guardians, in 2006 IrieFM were invited to open for the greatest dance hall artist of today, Capleton. After this, they almost went straight away to Del Arno's "D.A.B.Ing" studio, where, after two years of ripening, their album "Skills of the Youths" is ready to be picked. Their career continued by their trip to India, and by their signing for "World Music", and the whole subcontinent market, alongside the likes of Sade, Richard Bon or John McLaughlin. Upon their return from the east, IrieFM played all over Serbia and the region. They have performed at Exit Festival four times in a row, and festivals like Trenchtown, Supernatural, BELEF, Demofest, Jelen Pivo Live, Dani Beograda, followed. In May this year they opened for famous Thievery Corporation at their Belgrade concert.

Since the band originated from the Belgrade Hardcore scene as early as 1994, the first album was recorded live at Belgrade club KST. In the early days, Eyesburn played mostly in Belgrade clubs, occasionally having a gig or two elsewhere in Serbia.
The band started to work on its first studio album, Dog Life, with vocalist and frontman Coyote. A colourfu and inventivel crew of musicians who gathered around the same idea, and went on to start a new musical current which presented all the genres that had influenced and educated them over the years. Making its own specific mixture of styles, and creating their own unique sound, they have paved their way through a few minimal line-up changes onto creating a long and eventful musical band history.
In 2000, Eyesburn recorded their album Fool Control, and this solidified their reputation as a band in the Balkans to keep an eye (or an ear) on. As a confirmation of their growing popularity they received an invitation to perform for the pre-election tours ITS TIME and USE IT (your brain) to bring Milosevichs political system down. During this tour Eyesburn were able to perform nationwide. Also recording a soundtrack for the most popular youth film Munje, the band expanded into wider recognition. They have since played and toured extensively in Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Slovenia and over the years have become one of the most active bands on scene in Yugoslavia.

Every day that has a purpose has its beginning and end and people who want to accomplish themselves together.” These are the thoughts coming from Vukasin Markovic. Once a member of the cult band Eyesburn, today Vukasin is the bandleader and songwriter for the band Irie FM. Not only the band’s lead singer, but he also plays the trombone. The compact band of ten devotees was formed already at the beginning of the new millennium, and mainly addressed the local scene. Irie FM’s beginnings are tied to the traditional Roots Reggae with plenty of “Jazzy” brass band elements. As the band matured, their music received plenty of Dub, Soul and Punky Reggae sensibilities.
„We advocate the awareness and unity of young peoplebut in a very realistic way. We do not deal with religion.“ After a concert held in the packed hall of the Students’ Cultural Center, the band moves to Del Arno’s D.A.B.ing music studio, and after two years produces the first album called Skills of the Youths.How Much for Freedom?
