ghori from d-operation drop is a driving soundsystem roller with a low swung beat crushed through 80’s sci-fi algorithms and burnt onto analog tape. on the flip is natty coil, one of the crew’s most requested tracks, a masterful mix of organic bass and robotic shuffled hi hats from these mix scientists. d-operation drop are a crew from italy who gravitated around their love of bass, releasing music on labels such as artikal, lion charge, zam zam and moonshine, gaining support from the likes of j:kenzo, n type, bukez finezt, and dj madd.

more from the vaults of uprising with some previously unreleased dubplate mixes. the vocal cut is an alternate take with slightly different lyrics over a more raw, spare cut of the rhythm, sans synthesizer, which has been rarely, if ever heard. the dub mix on the flip was played on dubplate by jahlovemuzik back in the mid 70s. when one mix of a great tune is not enough, dkr is there.

the “natty dread a weh she want” set brings together two legends of reggae music. the stylish and unmistakable falsetto voice of singer horace andy and the production/dj singing skills of tapper zukie. both artists catalogues of music stand up strong but this, originally released 1979 set of songs seems to have brought something special out of both of them when producing/writing and arranging this set of tunes. “natty dread a weh she want” was a massive hit when it was released by tapper zukie and horace andy but this timeless track still sounds as fresh today as the day it was released in 1979, as do the other tracks on this fine album.

u-roy was a true reggae pioneer, dubbed the originator for good reason. bursting onto the jamaican scene in the early 1970s, he pioneered the vocal approach called “toasting,” which in addition to bringing jamaican music into a new era, was also heavily influential on an american vocal style also in its infancy: rapping. following up the record store day 2017 release of u-roy’s classic dread in a babylon, traffic entertainment group now brings us a very welcome reissue of the vocalist’s 1976 full-length (and fourth) album, natty rebel, which has been out of print for more than 30 years. produced by tony robinson (known for his work with big youth, lloyd parks, the gladiators and many more), the album’s 11 cuts range from bouncier and sometimes even disco-tinged grooves – “have mercy,” “go there natty” and the album lead-off, “babylon burning” – to the classic roots stepping that drew fans to the legendary jamaican vocalist over his long career – including “so jay jah say” and “natty kung fu.” at its core, this is a deep journey into the heart of rasta living, spoken by one of jamaica’s most underrated dub and roots legends, and it’s one of the strongest full-lengths in his expansive catalog. whether you are experiencing u-roy for the first time, or replacing your decades-old original lp, diving into this reissue of natty rebel is one hell of a way to spend an afternoon. or, if you’re not careful, a week or two.

bob marley is still immensely popular, even 20 years after his passing. reason enough for music on vinyl to reissue bob marley & the wailers 1974 album >natty dread<.
the oft-covered >no woman, no cry<, the infectious and captivatingly cool >lively up yourself<, the ska-inclined >rebel music<: this is just a hint at what >natty dread< has to offer.
we cant expect any new bob marley songs, but we can gladly rediscover his classics over and over again. time to put these tunes on heavy rotation!

congo natty aka rebel mc aka mikail tafari veredelt unter mithilfe legendärer dub-soldiers sein letztes studioalbum jungle revolution und liefert ein basslastiges monster für alle dub, reggae & jungle fans! dub war der soundtrack meiner jugend, erinnert sich congo natty und kollaboriert für dieses projekt mit einer anzahl an neuen und bereits etablierten dub-künstlern wie adrian sherwood, lee scratch perry, dj madd, young warrior (sohn von jah shaka), joe ariwa (sohn von mad professor), dubkasm, und vielen anderen. die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

repress / reissue - wiederveroeffentlichung des gesuchten longplayers fuer greensleeves! seit der originalveröffentlichung von 1974 (auf fay music) bietet sich jetzt wieder die gelegenheit wirklich tief in die historie des dub reggae einzutauchen. studios: lee perrys black ark studio, joe gibbs studio, king tubbys studio mit dem finalen overdub in den londoner berry street studios!

rinse fms breakfast show host, dva is a producer with a unique take on the uk funky bug, blending the stiff 8-bar funk of grime with a super-supple rhythmic sensibility, sewing neon colours with a laid back precision into his tracks. >natty< is a prime example, drums stagger like they are about to topple over, squelchy bass synths lock together a tough tribal drum pattern, liquid metal trickles around in the mix, and these contrasting elements react with explosive results on the dancefloor. on >ganja<, a cartoonish ring-tone-friendly synth melody worms its way around tight soca-esque drums and housey organ stabs. factor in the depth-charge 808 subs, steel drums and sparingly used ragga chat and you ve got a technicolour hyperdub debut fresh for 2010.
