ltd 7 inch

zum 40-jährigen jubiläum wird ein klassiker des dub-reggae-genres vom masteringexperten kevin metcalfe re-mastered und auf dem vp records sublabel 17 north parade wiederveröffentlicht. im original erschien der longplayer erstmalig 1977 auf dem joe gibbs record globe label und wurde mit der joe gibbs studioband, the professionals, eingespielt - laut originalcover waren das george -fully- fulwood, carlton -santa- davis, tony chin, richard -dirty harry- hall, tommy mccook, bobby ellis und leroy -horsemouth- wallace. am mischpult saß errol thompson. hier finden sich exzellente dubversionen von riddims aus der rocksteady-Ära 1966 bis 1969 inklusive -hypocrites- von bob marley & the wailers in die neuzeit katapultiert, sowie die dubs zu den großen reggae-hits der zeit wie -uptown top ranking- von althea & donna.

eine weitere 12 inch maxi mit vier großartigen songs der reggae-künstler linval thompson (im doppelpack), ranking trevor und papa tullo.

ranking records 10th release sees russian producer/vocalist marina faib burst onto the scene with a 12inch that is frankly nothing short of astonishing. for a girl born in the 1990s, faib shows astounding maturity in her restrained approach to sound and rhythm, employing stuttering drum loops to underlay soundscapes that would put many a hollywood composer out of work. ticking clocks is a spine tingling example of this: the texture of the track comes from a euphoric choral sample which soars over a deep chasm of sub bass energy, climaxing in the perfect placement of a slithering arabic reed solo. whisper of trees shows the same mastery of atmosphere and musical arrangement - this time the tune is built from blissed out vocal lines, warm synth pads and a pulsating low end.

following the success of the first treasure dub album, a second volume was hastily assembled. repeating the formula of the previous collection, the set featured 12 hard and heavy dub tracks that utilised some of duke reid’s most celebrated rock steady and reggae rhythms. as with volume 1, the musicianship from tommy mccook & the supersonics and mixing skills of ace treasure isle studio sound engineer, errol brown combined to create one of the finest dub lps of the mid-1970s.

re-issue of the 1978 dub classic from errol brown & the revolutionaries. dub like it used to be from the high note and gay feet labels. a selection of rocking rhythms from the revolutionaries masterminded by jamaica’s finest female record producer, mrs sonia pottinger, and mixed by duke reid’s nephew, errol brown, chief engineer at the legendary treasure isle studio.

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.

anlässlich des 50-jährigen jubiläums von trojan records veröffentlicht bmg diese in bester pressqualität gefertigte picture-vinyl, die auf der a-seite den ikonischen trojan-helm und auf der b-seite das markant gestaltete »trojan 50«-logo zeigt. das album enthält ein dutzend der größten charthits des labels aus den 60er bis 80er jahren, dargeboten von den größten stars der jamaikanischen musik und gibt eine perfekte einführung in das legendäre reggae-label.

a great collection of classic roots recordings from the mid-70’s for the singer who came close in challenging bob marley & dennis brown for reggae’s crown. all re-mastered recordings available as 23-track 2lp-set in a gatefold sleeve, with in-depth sleeve notes by noel hawkes. the release is supported by several summer festival appearances.

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!

former half of the defunct pitch & hold duo under the banner of which he operated from 2006 to 2011, simon halsberghe steps up on brussels’ very own vlek with his debut solo ep as simon hold. first heard on vlek s 2016 mix for resident advisor as they were appointed label of the month by the high­ranking platform last autumn, maqam bruxelloise reflects the wide­angle beauty and compelling diversity of the belgian capital and its throbbing heart, a city at the confluence of cultures and languages. across a finely­layered interplay of synthetic modulations and intricate polyrhythms, hold lays out a riveting kaleidoscope of pattern­welded textures and prismatic synth motifs played and arranged accordingly to a contemporary interpretation of the traditional arabic maqam system of improvisation the track draws its title from. an ode to brussels all­embracing effervescence. translating as -soft drone- or -pleasant noise-, the gritty dhajij doux then welcomes you into a more disquieting, bipolar audio scenario that evokes the reality of living -in a sometimes difficult and hostile city-. a curiously matching negative of the opener, in this that it taps into the same generous and plural matrix universe as main source of inspiration, but eventually opens on a more nuanced outcome, here hold clearly shows a further abrasive facet of his work: harsh and vibrant, the track may be replete with a lead­heavy amalgam of sizzling bass and jagged drumwork thrown into the furnace, light and hope still manage threading their way through dark clouds and turbulence, slowly but surely turning this rough­hewn stone into a truly haunting gem.

das 3lp-package im klappcover, mit großartigen fotos und ausführlichen liner notes von dave hendley, ist in limitierter auflage für kurze zeit wieder erhältlich! mit dieser veröffentlichung von 36 essentiellen aufnahmen hatte vp records bereits im jahr 2004 der jamaikanischen institution ein würdiges denkmal gesetzt, war doch channel one für fast 10 jahre (1974 - 1984) die absolute nr.1 unter den studios der insel und hatte mit seinen produktionen einfluss auf die musikhistorie, die der von studio one und treasure isle der 60er jahre in nichts nachstehen. hier finden sich originale von den großen künstlern wie barrington levy, delroy wilson, dillinger, clint eastwood, the mighty diamonds, john holt, yellowman und vielen mehr, sowie die aufnahmen der allerersten 12-inch maxi-single, die in jamaika erschien, die extended versions von the jays & ranking trevor - truly deejay mix (coverversion des marcia griffiths klassiker) und queen majesty, die reggae-version des curtis mayfield songs.

thomas zimmerman aka deadmau5 gewann in der vergangenheit diverse preise u.a. den kanadischen musikpreis “juno award” für den besten dance-track. bei den beatport music awards 2008 wurde er sowohl als bester electro-house- als auch als bester progressive-house-künstler ausgezeichnet, und seine single “not exactly” gewann den titel “beste single 2008”. ebenfalls wurde er im dj-mag-top100-ranking auf rang 11 gewählt.

wolfgang voigt is a man of many means and monickers, having engendered a unique take on electronic expressionism across multiple media - from riotous early 90s acid to cyber-folkloristic techno or the abstract drama of his current rückckverzauberung project, a pioneering vision to be found on vinyl, canvas or flickering screens. ranking among of the most dense, hypnotic, atmospheric recordings in his oeuvre, the gas releases have since become internationally recognized classics with a cult following, hailed as a wondrous high point in the history of electronic music (pitchfork) and some of the most influential albums of the 90s (the guardian).
