erstmalige nachpressung seit der urspruenglichen lp vinyl veroeffentlichung im jahr 1986! turbo charged wurde von king jammy aka prince jammy produziert und gilt seit mitte der 80er als meilenstein des reggae & dancehall - hier finden sich die hits hog in a minty (ein update des mento traditionals auf dem tempo riddim), gimme some of your something, und down in the ghetto (auf dem satta riddim), rub a dub a kill you (auf dem rockfort rock riddim), plus amazing grace (auf dem java riddim). das leben des nitty gritty (bürgerlich: glen augustus holeness) war tragischerweise sehr kurz, er wurde 1991 in brooklyn, new york von seinem kollegen super cat in notwehr erschossen - aber dieses zeitlose album hat ihn unsterblich gemacht

nice price deal !!! auf dem snow ghosts debütalbum auf dem fabric-sublabel houndstooth vereinen sich die düsteren electro-sounds von throwing snow (aka ross tones) und der erhabene folk-gesang von augustus ghost (aka hannah cartwright) zu einem gothic-dream-pop, der wie eine fusion aus massive attack, björk und zola jesus klingt. die beiden einzelkünstler supporten dieses jahr atoms for peace und bonobo. auf ihrem gemeinsamen album wirkte auch der angesagte londoner dubstep-künstler blue daisy mit.

lp from 1980 re release in the reggae rewind/17th north parade series - the one and only album for producer joe gibbs that jacob miller (r.i.p. 23.03.1980) did. he got known in 1974 as the main augustus pablo protegee, and became the lead singer for inner circle in their best times, he is also starring in the reggae cult movie rockers.

off-key limited is a new subsidiary label of off-key industries whose aim is to give exposure to new artists alongside established producers and to bring a wider range of genres with less of a focus on the dancefloor. each release will be strictly limited and will not be repressed. we start by raiding the off-key vaults to unleash a series of releases entitled >the dust off<, featuring material written in the off-key studio over the years by matt o brien and various collaborators and associates. matt kicks off the ep with >a new page turns<, a bangin dubby detroit techhouse cut driven by a low slung rhythm and analog stabs dripping in reverb, overlayed with a melodica riff which calls to mind the smokey refrains of augustus pablo. next up is >untitled< by newcomer mat gates, a beatless slice of electronica whose understated melodies conjure up thoughts of late summer evenings of times gone by. on the flip, o brien and gates combine under the artist name kimble to bring you >epiphany<, led by a shimmering melody underpinned with haunting strings which combine to form an electro track of rare beauty. this diverse ep is completed with mat gates second contribution, >in a hole<, a drum n bass track with a disjointed, skeletal rhythm, sub bass drops and fragile, melancholy melody.

by the age of 15, david rodigan was djing at school dances and youth clubs. the infectious, crazy back beat of jamaican ska first captivated him as a teenager in the mid 60 s, it was a driving, energetic sound which he found impossible to resist. when the pace cooled down and condensed into rock steady david was equally enamoured because the sweet, aching vocal style of jamaica s young stars could be heard to full effect.

classic tracks from reggae legends wailing souls, scientist, barrington levy, augustus pablo, johnny osbourne, half pint, bushman, jacob miller etc are expertly mixed and blended by dj andy smith while guest mc brother culture is showcased to full effect on six exclusive cuts.
