das legendäre jamaikanische label trojan records feiert bereits seinen 50. geburtstag und veröffentlicht mit »ska & reggae classics« eine neue compilation mit den größten hits des labels, nun auch auf 2xlp!
im juli 1968 eröffnete das jamaikanische label mit sitz in london, trojan records, das geschäft und innerhalb von monaten nach seiner gründung wurde der aufregende neue reggae-sound einem weltweiten publikum vorgestellt. im laufe der nächsten jahre stand trojan für eine reihe von weltweiten mainstream-charthits durch legendäre künstler wie desmond dekker, ken boothe, john holt, the maytals, bob & marcia und dave & ansel collins. zudem legte trojan den karrieregrundstein für die zukünftigen superstars des reggae bob marley, dennis brown und gregory isaacs.

wieder lieferbar! “mister yellowman” aus dem jahre 1982 hat den superb zeitlosen sound, den die wahren klassiker ausmachen. mit den musikern der hi-times band und den roots radics im channel one studio mit produzent henry junjo lawes aufgenommen, am mischpult saß soldgie hamilton. das album zeigt den superstar des dancehall-reggae der 80er jahre zum höhepunkt seiner karriere! (soundsystem info: benutzte riddims u.a.. vanity, pressure and slide, i can t hide, dirty harry, gunman, bobby babylon aus dem hause studio one und volcano)

man of war is a significant sonic progression for the band. opening track gaia sets the tone for the release perfectly. heavy, brooding bass and glitchy, synth stabs create an imposing sonic backdrop for tom’s menacing vocal to hang on. lead and title track man of war is driven by its propulsive beats and more washes of bass and eerie electronic touches. fall crocus finds the band in contemplative mood. a heavy, regretful air hangs over the track and brings to mind the work of international superstar and mercury prize winner james blake, who the band has toured with, as well as mount kimbie and ghostpoet previously. final original cut cosmos pink is perhaps the album’s most touching effort. cloud boat have always been a band capable of inducing sincere emotion and this release is no different, taking the listener on a powerful, cathartic journey through life’s big issues. remix wise, the release features offerings from phaeleh and la – 4a. each act brings its own distinguishable flavour to man of war. phaeleh’s version features his trademark, cinematic, take on house electronics and is a typically atmospheric effort, while la – 4a takes cloud boat in a modern techno direction.

studio one women is the latest in the series of studio one compilations released by soul jazz records. ska, rocksteady, funky reggae, roots, dub mixes, disco mixes, they are all here from the queens of the jamaican music scene. studio one women features a wide mix of classics and obscurities from the finest female voices in reggae. until now most of these tracks have only ever been available as extremely hard to find jamaican 7 inch and 12 inch singles and even if you were lucky enough to find them they d cost you a small fortune! marcia griffiths and rita marley (here with her first group the soulettes) are two of jamaicas most famous female singers hugely popular today. both these artists became internationally famous as the i – threes (along with judy mowatt), bob marleys backing singers alongside the wailers. also featured are hortense ellis, sister of alton who cut many smash hit on the island and jennifer lara, a lady who had a long career with studio one, singing on countless sides until she sadly passed away earlier this year. studio one is the greatest label in the history of reggae and is the foundation of all reggae music. it is where virtually every world renowned jamaican superstar started out, bob marley and the wailers included. under the guidance of the legendary clement >coxsone< dodd the musicians at studio one recorded hundreds of instrumental rhythms which still provide the backbone for many of the records made in jamaica today.

here we go again! driving forces recordings is proud to announce another great release by our friends chris hope & andre walter, who again shared forces to create 2 pure and evil techno tracks. the original version of >i take< is a super long & hypnotic tune with great and endless rising synths. this is pure peaktime madness for crowded club nights.
the remix comes from nobody less than naples uprising superstar sasha carassi. with releases supported by the ones like adam beyer, alan fitzpatrick, joseph capriati, len faki and countless others, sasha stands for quality in every respect. no question that he delivered a real bomb here too in his very special & unique trademark big room style.
>collateral damage< is another brutal piece of music in the typical way only andre walter is able to do. with all its rawness this track perfectly reminds on his early days and works with frankfurt based technolegend chris liebing. this is simply sick! be aware!all tracks were heavy road tested for months now and are 100% club smashers for sure!

encer kincy was giant in chicagos house music revival - part of the second wave of younger djs and producers that took the music of the early 1980s, rubbed it up and dropped it in places like 500 west cermak, medusa’s and the vault. a lot of people who are now superstars of the scene - mark farina, sneak, derrick carter, and dozens of others - were a part of that movement, too. spencer released a number of tracks on relief, planet e, cajual, peace frog - labels representing the classics of that era - and he usually recorded under the name gemini. as a dj, he operated in his own space - i’m sure he could play for a room, and sometimes did, but the unrestrained madness of a spencer kincy dj set had to be heard over several hours to appreciate. he could blend a sleazy disco track into hard acid, downtempo into a punishing armani track, jazz into detroit techno and so on. it wasn’t technically brilliant or tricky, but the selection was exquisite. a number of figures from his era still list him as an influence. his productions, viewed as a whole, are so much like his sets: going softer than many dared to go, and going much harder than just about any dared to go. simple jack tracks! respected by the standards of the industry of the time, and you certainly couldn’t go anywhere in chicago without hearing derrick, sneak, mark, lego, gene, jevon, diz, johnny or the other djs beating them. and so many of them have a timelessness - a little piece of eternity stuck like some bit of wax between the grooves

this volume showcases a highlight form the underground alias of heller & farley, roach motel. the night was originally a hit amongst the heads from london to new york through the late 90s. here romanian new kids on the block livio & roby (who have had recent success on steve lawlers harlem nights label) follow in the footsteps of minimal superstars pedro, raresh and rhadoo in taking the relentless romanian house sound to the mainstream.

after the massive success of stay around in 2007 the next single by milk & sugar is set now for ibiza domination. ‘no no no’ receives support from pete tong on bbc1 and the and world class djs like axwell, david guetta, bob sinclar, roger sanchez, little louie vega, tv rock and many more. top position until now #4 uk buzz charts. milk & sugar s new single no no no contains vocals by roxanne wilde, youngest sister of 80 s superstar kim wilde. roxanne s career had always been championed by their famous father marty wilde, no wonder her debut album was picked up by pete tong for wall of sound records in 2005. the following year she left the label again, and went on to songwriting with various artists and supported her sister and also kylie minogue on their live tours as a background vocalist. no no no edition 2 will be released now with mixes from mischa daniels and d.o.n.s. vs. dbn

allein die juengsten erfolge von keri hilson sprechen fuer sich: ihre single -i like- machte letztes jahr dem titel alle ehre, sie hielt sich drei wochen lang auf platz 1 in deutschland (sowie ein vierteljahr in den top-10). mehr noch: gold gabs schon nach vier wochen, -i like- lief auch im radio rauf und runter und entpuppte sich schlie§lich sogar als einer der zehn groe§ten hits des jahres 2010. nun also die fortsetzung: -like- buttons werden dieser tage wieder etliche angeklickt werden, denn keri legt mit -pretty girl rock- ihre neueste single vor und knuepft damit nahtlos an die erfolge von 2010 an. mit -pretty girl rock-, der ersten auskopplung ihres kommenden no boys allowed-albums, wendet sich die in atlanta geborene r&b-ueberfliegerin, die in den letzten jahren diverse hits fuer superstars wie z.b. britney, ciara, ludacris, kelly rowland, mary j. blige und usher geschrieben hat, ganz klar an ihre weiblichen fans: mehr selbstbewusstsein Ð so lautet die botschaft, die hilson ueber dem von ne-yo und chuck harmony produzierten midtempo-track artikuliert. eine message, die in anderen teilen der welt bereits angekommen ist: platz 4 in den us-amerikanischen r&b-charts (24 in den billboard-charts), und auch bei der britischen bbc wurde die r&b-hymne schon als -lovely single- gefeiert. 2007 hatte keri hilson als vokalgast auf timbalands -the way i are- single einen mega-hit gelandet. zwei jahre spaeter ging ihr debuetalbum -in a perfect world- in die top-5 der billboard-charts und wurde auf anhieb fuer zwei grammys nominiert. no boys allowed, der zweite longplayer der 28-jaehrigen, erscheint anfang juli.
