ras g and moresounds explore the outer reaches of sound system culture for dub-stuy’s new collaborative series of eps. brooklyn-based label dub-stuy kicks off 2018 with the inaugural release of a new ep series dedicated to unearthing and celebrating the outer reaches of sound system culture. taking its cue from the classic dub releases where two producers would face off with their own versions. dub-stuy’s meets series brings together artists who have a clear dub influence but do not operate solely within the sphere of the dub and reggae world. the first such meeting is between los angeles beat supremo ras g (brainfeeder. stones throw) and paris junglistic dub scientist moresounds (cosmic bridge. astrophonica).

meditative and off-kilter. dubkasm’s new 12” is. unsurprisingly. completely unlike any other tune out there. and pays tribute to a too-frequently overlooked part of reggae tradition: dub poetry. originating in a collaboration between dubkasm and their long-time friend. norway-dwelling heavyweight bass guitarist. bajan steppa. enter the gates is a discomix built on a tuff bassline. skittering drums and retro synths. and features reflective. courageous lyrics about the enduring power of black liberation movements and consciousness. from gloucester vocalist rider shafique. the b-side contains an upfront instrumental cut. followed. in true dubkasm style. by a collaboration with a musical titan. mad professor’s incredible dub flips the original into a propulsive soundsystem killer. retaining the tune’s heart and spirit. but driving and percussive where the original is deep and soulful. mastered on to 1/2” tape at stardelta studios. and pressed on 180g vinyl.

the 70s saw a growing interest in so called dub versions. an approach based on deforming. stripping and rebuilding the original tune and came known as dub music. king tubby along with other dub wizards such as. lee perry & prince jammy. were responsible for this exciting new dimension to jamaican music. however. most of these dub albums were pressed in very small quantities and disappeared quickly. one of those albums is dub expression by errol brown and the revolutionaries. no gimmicks on this one. he uses simple echo and delay. a few vocals sliding in and out. separate instruments floating on top. with respect to the melody of the tunes. a mixture of dub and instrumentals. enjoy these super tracks!

what is music? is it some warped set or a never before heard radio station. or two televisions being broadcast and received simultaneously?

hugh ‘redman’ james is one of the greatest jamaican music producers of the late 1980s. raised in a musical household in the west kingston slum of hannah town. with his mother a sound system selector. redman gained his initial schooling in the music business from none other than king tubby. the legendary sound system owner and dub mixer that was responsible for voicing and mixing some of the greatest reggae of all time. after being immersed in sound system culture during his youth in the 1960s and 70s. redman began sitting in on sessions at king tubby’s studio. but migrated to hartford. connecticut in 1978 in search of steady employment. returning to jamaica a few years later. he established a popular sound system in kingston and began producing music with king tubby’s assistance in 1985. working with the roots radics during a time of great uncertainty in jamaican music. as the new dancehall style came to prominence. early work featured gregory isaacs. sugar minott and frankie paul. as well as rising stars such as little john and horace martin. then. following the computerisation of dancehall. redman began producing some of the most popular music of the day. crafting durable and complex rhythms with a broad team of players that included steely and clevie. augmented by members of the browne bunch and other players. redman helped establish a number of total unknowns in this era. including carl meeks. dave bailey and wayne palmer. and became a serious contender for king jammy’s crown. but the producer was ultimately frustrated by the dramatic changes to sweep jamaican music in the early 1990s. and subsequently retreated from the music industry redman international dancehall 1985-1989 compiles the best work from his glory days. with half of the twelve vocal tracks coming complete with corresponding dub versions.

2017 was a serious year for von d. with releases on a number of great labels including our long-format imprint khaliphonic. plus amar. moonshine. lion charge and more. for zamzam. von d has delivered “over” -- a brooding. burning 140 anthem providing serious heat as we head into the dark winter months. “over” features a powerful half-time reggae riddim built from von d’s signature warm. enveloping bass and restrained but powerful drums. tambourine and guiro add flavor while the snares slap. and meekman’s kete drum rocks throughout. adding a swing and live feeling missing from many contemporary in-the-box sound system tunes. melodica and synth skank in unison. underpinning a dizzying spread of analog signals & sonics...

isle of jura go back to 1976 to resurrect anambra. the jewel in the crown of dub. soul & funk outfit ozo. anambra is something of a classic. a unique song thats slow. ritualistic and spiritual. mixing african & nyabinghi drumming with a buddhist sanskrit mantra om mani padme hum. an alternate version anambra river appears for the first time on the same 12 inch.

the nassau sessions were recorded in nassau bahamas in march of 2013 using zero analog equipment. this debut 7inch features four sedated. rum-fueled dubs by double pelican man. the sounds chosen are familiar to the dub reggae lexicon. deep sub bass. guitar chords. synth bleeps and clacking percussion. all drenched in echo and reverb. each ingredient added with careful consideration to the mix. the rhythms tumble and sway confidently. grooves are proudly extended. while the occasional overdub effect gives each track a paradoxically haunting undertone

the debut dub syndicate set from 1982. pre-dating the involvement of mainstay style scott. this features various members of creation rebel and african head charge turning out a wild dub set. with hard-hitting rhythms and fx-mutated melodies phasing in and out of the mix . recorded quickly with track titles cheekily poking fun at the contemporary series by the scientist which pitted him against various b-movie foes. the tunes themselves however are deadly serious. with version excursions on some classic on-u vocal cuts such as “bedward the flying preacher” and “across the red sea”. and a continuing commitment by producer adrian sherwood to take his love of reggae and filter it through his exploratory and uniquely english approach. re-cut at dubplates & mastering in berlin. includes download card with bonus track and sleevenotes by steve barker (on the wire)

originally issued as a cassette on the roir label alongside the likes of bad brains. suicide and the contortions. this second album from 1983 is an uncompromising collection of heavy dub manners and experimental studio soundscaping. dreader than dread roots rhythms sit alongside delay-baked post-punk instrumentals such as drilling equipment and synchroniser first ever international vinyl edition. re-cut as a double lp at 45rpm for improved frequency response. includes bonus track blood shed dub from the classic disco plate series. download card. and gatefold sleeve with sleevenotes by michael dub shore and steve on the wire bar

unreleased archival tracks from the on-u vaults! serving the same purpose as the recent return of the crocodile set did for african head charge. this lp illuminates the early development of one of the flagship acts on the label. allowing some truly magnificent versions to be heard for the first time. mostly stripped-back raw takes. they highlight the rock solid rhythm foundation laid down by such incredible players as style scott and charlie eskimo fox. as well as three vital soul-in-the-echo-chamber interjections from the late. great bim sherman. essential early-80s dub damage.

hauntological dub taking the mystical eastern melodica scales pioneered by augustus pablo and applying them to a unique mix of reversioned cult themes and roots rockers. doctor pablo was a key member of creation rebel as well as contributing to such canonical albums as cry tuff dub encounter volume 1 and some of the early hitrun records sides. a pre-cursor to on-u sound. it is also the third album appearance by the dub syndicate. features the much-loved dub re-rub of the theme tune to classic british science fiction show doctor who.

increasing access to new studio technology resulted in this splicing of dub reggae dna with cut-and-paste sampledelia. anticipating the later work of labels such as def jux. wordsound and anticon. this 1985 album paired crack jamaican session musicians such as the roots radics’ drummer style scott (by this point the instrumental leader of dub syndicate) and the congos’ ashanti roy with public image limited’s jah wobble and keith levene. not to mention the restless mixing desk boundary-pushing of producer and de facto member adrian sherwood. a more reggaefied take on the industrial funk sherwood was making with tackhead during the same period. lovers of digidub. outernational sounds and even the wilder reaches of 80s hip-hop will find much to get lost in here

for this debut release. the munich-based crew behind fayah chords has turned to two experienced vocal talents: south african dancehall mic man crosby and veteran toaster longfingah.
this release provides enough musical fuel to light every dance on fayah. by the way - the cover and vinyl presentation is delicately finished. a matt sleeve with white walled finish with an artwork depicting the artists fight against injustice. the vinyl itself is uniquely white.

the house band of bunny ‘striker’ lee was formed in the mid-1970s by some of jamaica’s most prominent and musically expressive session players. the shifting core line-up spun off from the soul syndicate and thus typically featured earl ‘chinna’ smith and tony chin on guitar and bernard ‘touter’ harvey on organ. carlton ‘santa’ was the main drummer. but carlton barrett of the wailers band and ‘benbow’ creary were sometimes featured. most crucially. on bass. aston ‘family man’ barrett shifted to fully fullwood (and occasionally. earl ‘bagga’ walker). until robbie shakespeare took over. becoming the bandleader. the band was responsible for the popular ‘flying cymbal’ style that took jamaica by storm. and you can hear it in abundance on this killer dub set from 1975. its excellent cuts of cornell campbell and johnnie clarke material mixed at king tubby’s studio - a must for all serious fans of dub.

international reggae star alborosie returns with the dub version of his celebrated “freedom & fyah” album from last year titled “freedom in dub”. the distinctive production of these ten newly recorded dub mixes underscore alborosie’s skill and credibility as a master of dub. all tracks are produced and (mostly) played by alborosie and recorded at his shengen studios in kingston. jamaica.

roots vocalist barry brown has an inimitable style that has long made him a favourite of reggae enthusiasts. drawing from the popular phrasing of horace andy. but morphing it into his own delivery through the kind of wordless slurring that occasionally resembles the sound of a quacking duck. brown found his way into the jamaican music scene through the many amateur west kingston talent contests of the early 1970s. along with fellow aspiring talents such as johnnie clarke. sugar minott and the african brothers. and the mighty diamonds. he also honed his vocal skills on local west kingston sound systems such as tape tone. together with other young dancehall-oriented youth such as barrington levy. sammy dread. roy taylor and tristan palmer. there are still conflicting claims as to who was the first to record brown. with production veteran bunny ‘striker’ lee and sugar minott among the contenders. but in any case. during the late 1970s and early 1980s. he produced a range of captivating work for various producers. much of which is rightly coveted today. ‘ital rock’ appeared on barry’s 1983 lp i’m still waiting. issued by rocktone international. a spin-off of sugar minott’s black roots outfit. based in queens. new york (with a further branch in toronto). the b-side has dean fraser’s previously unreleased electrifying saxophone cut. rescued from dub plate obscurity by jah fingers.

it’s been a hot minute since the tropical sounds of mo kolours have graced the airwaves. so it’s with great pleasure that we see him return to 22a via a choice selection of cuts presented on a limited 7” vinyl. with original artwork designed by the man himself!
this release is limited to 300 copies so don’t sleep!
