It’s all about the artist with Jammer Direct and KES Entertainment from music, comedy and film. With events changed for the summer and the near future due to COVID19 the Dynamic Duo of the entertainment biz have stepped up to fill the gap that is missing how artists of all levels and genres will get out on mass while keeping everyone safe. It all started with LIVE@HOME premiering on JDtv, that streams online, ROKU and Amazon FIRE TV that brought Indie Musicians into the homes of fans old and new alike in a way like never before. During the age of social distancing numerous bands, musicians and singer songwriters have decided to self stream performances via Skype, zoom, facebook or instagram which have it’s limits on who they will reach; LIVE@HOME gives musicians the opportunity to reach that concert, or festival potential on a global basis, something most will never experience but now can. LIVE@HOME has reached a combined audience of over 25 thousand people around the globe in just 2 broadcasts. The concerts are rebroadcast on KEStv on Roku and on JDtv on their streaming avenues continuously so lovers of indie music can experience the best the independent music scene has to offer again and again.

An option for DJ’s DJ DIGTIAL TAKEOVER has also been launched since events in Ibizza to Gay PRIDE dance parties have been cancelled. DJs’ are about to take over JammerStream MIX, the HiNRG, trance, house mix channel of jammerstream that can be heard globally on the web, mobile, HD Radio, Alexa, Alexa for Auto, GM Auto Radio, Samsung+, RoKu and KES Radio All with rebroadcasts With the option to add a video stream of themselves on the DECKS This is more than your average mixshow but a full HD quality sound and sight musical dance party.

The Independent Artist of all genres and levels continue to be welcomed into the Dynamic Duo of Entertainment with the launching of 2 non musical events to be on JDtv, Jammerstream and KEStv and KESradio: COMEDY@HOME and FilmFest@HOME honouring the talents of the independent artist.
COMEDY@HOME, comedians from clean to cheeky are encouraged to be part of this event. Comedians have been just as hard hit as musicians in this pandemic age of social distancing, PRIDE events, festivals and fairs where a lot of book gigs and comedy clubs that have now limited seating with careful openings are no longer an option for the near future. Comedy@HOME will allow comedians to reach that global audience and help the world heal with laughter . AS with LIVE@HOME and DJ Digital Takeover comedians performances get a QR code which links to an artist page, a link of a virtual tip jar along with social media links and website links. UNLIKE other platforms performers with COMEDY@HOME, LIVE@HOME and DJ Digital Takeover keep all the tips and any money from merchandise sold.
The next big thing launched from the DD of Entertainment is FilmFEST@HOME many film fests and screenings in cinemas have been set back or not a reality at this moment, filmmakers, directors and actors/actresses have no easy way to get their work seen. Netflix and other streaming services are expensive and smaller ones don’t have that reach. With JDtv streaming on numerous platforms with the combined avenue of KEStv film makers can reach an unlimited audience. The film fest is set into several categories GLBTQ, Drama, SciFi, Horror, Comedy, Suspense, Historical, Documentary, Animation Each film will get a verified film page which includes info, social media links etc. Viewers will be able to vote for their favourite in each category and overall by QR code, each category winner and overall winner will have their films permanently on JDtv Indie Film/Series channel that is launching soon where content providers will keep all the monies from adverts ran in conjunction with their broadcast. Interested film makers can contact al@jammer.direct
Lastly a new concept in Music and Music Video Distribution has been launched by the Dynamic Duo of Entertainment aptly named Dynamic Duo Distribution. If Bandcamp, the Orchard and MTV had a threesome hookup the result would be this. UNLIKE any of the aforementioned it is all about the Artist with Triple “D” where musicians/djs keep all the money they earn. With a vast combined network in addition to the ultimate distribution service you get PR included by a 30 year music industry vetran
