Hip-Hop Vinyl New Releases - News

1977 dub classic with Prince Jammy at the controls. Long awaited re-issue in the iconic original sleeve of the crucial dub companion to Horace Andy's classic "In the Light" that was given confirmed dub album classic status by its 1995 Blood & Fire edition. Horace Andy's profile already legendary in reggae circles, has been internationally raised by his work with Massive Attack and his continued live presence.

Italian Afro-Futurist beatmaker DJ Khalab & Malian master musician & griot Baba Sissoko meld electronic music to traditional African sounds; the repetitive & hypnotic structure of Malian music gets re-translated by Khalab to great effect.

Mastered via 1/2 inch tape, by Lewis at Stardelta.
Vinyl-only, hand-stamped, numbered and stickered edition of 1000.
Packaged in a printed gatefold sleeve, designed by Studio Tape-Echo.

With this hotly anticipated two-disc package, Ishan Sound marks his return to the label where it all began, Peng Sound Records.
Spread across two discs, this release packs no less than eight of his finest cuts from the depths of Ishan's legendary dubplate-bag.From start to finish, it's trademark Ishan Sound production and style, although the first two cuts on the second disc feature additional production by fellow Young Echo member 'Seb Gainsborough' aka Vessel. Each of the tracks on this release lays down inimitable, surefire Bristol soundsystem material, another proud release from the label.

Multi artist comp covering disco, slomo house and beatdown, funk & soul, reggae. Versatility in your crate on one record. Vinyl only DJ promo. Hand stamped natural chipboard jackets.

* Since the legendary shows at The Jazz Café, the sound of London Elektricity has always effortlessly lent itself to a live setting. Today is no different as we present two loungecore classics with band-driven twists by Gentleman's Dub Club and KYX Orchestra.

* Stripping back the drums and serving up the bass is Gentleman's Dub Club with their dancehall re-rub of 'All Hell is Breaking Loose'. Springing from the roots of Leeds, Gentleman's Dub Club have been making reggae and ska shakers get on their feet with their huge Reggae anthem High Grade. This version of 'All Hell is Breaking Loose' is already a firm favourite for the summer sets of Sir David Rodigan and undoubtedly set to shine throughout the festival circuits.

* On the flip side, originally opening the seminal 'Power Ballads' LP of '05, London Elektricity's 'Out of this World' has been reborn with a flavour of big band jazz from Prague's KYX Orchestra. This is a virtuoso cover in the style of Whiplash minus the psychotic bandleader. Well we haven't actually met KYX's bandleader but we're hoping he's a bit more chilled.

Keith Hudson's classic dub album, undoubtedly one of the finest dub sets ever released. This all time classic Dub album was originally released in 1974 and is jam packed with ultra-heavy bass and drum rhythms propelled by Carlton and Aston Barrett (better known as the Wailers' rhythm section) which collide with snatches of vocal from Horace Andy, Big Youth and Hudson himself.

More than 40 years after the record's first release the raw edge of experimentation still shocks and excites. Unavailable since its last re-issue on the now sadly extinct Blood An Fire label.. here the album is presented on JUNIA WALKER's own JUSIC INTERNATIONAL label!! According to the sleeve notes, Walker more or less commissioned the dubs herein from Hudson for his Black Equinox Sound System. The sleeve of this release also features Walker in a photo intended for the original sleeve, though the album ended up with the more familiar smoker under a palm tree when it was originally released unbeknown to him in the UK.If you know your roots dub, you know you have to stock this!!

Congo Natty, auch ehemals bekannt als Rebel MC, ist zwar nur ein Mann, aber genauso auch der Kern einer Familie und ganzen Bewegung. Mit "Jungle Revolution" veröffentlicht er nun ein Album, welches den Fokus klar definiert. Auf zehn Tracks zeigt Mikail Tafari aka Congo Natty, wie er Jungle heutzutage sieht: Als Re-Boot mit den Wurzeln von Reggae für ein neues Jahrhundert. Voll mit Herzblut, feuerigem Bass, Drum-Breaks, tollen Hooklines, berechtigter Angst und den Vorzügen der Liebe ist dieses Album eines jener Art, die so roh, spirituell und schön sind, wie selten ein Album dieses Genres. "The message of reggae is Ras Tafari and Ras Tafari is love", erklärt Congo Natty. Diese Message wird vorgetragen mit Hilfe vieler Freunde, darunter an den Vocals u.a. Top Cat, General Levy, Daddy Freddy, Tippa Irie, Phoebe "Iron Dread" Hibbert. Die Produktionen stammen u.a. von Serial Killerz und Benny Page. Abgemischt wurde das Album von On-U Sound Legende Adrian Sherwood und Skip McDonald! Dieses Album zeigt, dass Congo Natty mehr als eine Legende ist. Er ist ein Revoluzzer, und die Revolution nimmt nun ihren Lauf.

* After a full studio refurbishment, during 2014, Alien Dread is now back in operation and returns with thefirst of the new releases for 2016, with a special instrumental project, featuring top Jamaican musicians Alvin Davis & Asha Barnes.

The 7' features as a basis for the main track, a fully adapted part of the main theme from the 1971 UK movie: Get Carter, under the French film title, "La Loi Du Milieu". All tracks feature new and original instrumentation and arrangements from Alien Dread, Alvin Davis & Asha Barnes. The 7' A side features the Hornz Version and the B side the Hornz Dub Version.

Both tracks, plus Flute Vs, Congo Vs and Ambient Vs are available on a limited edition Digipack CDEP (Iron Sound IRONCDEP 03).

master trombonist. Shortly after leaving school, he became a member of the famed Eric Dean's band, playing alongside Ernest Ranglin, Tommy McCook, Lloyd Brevett & Lloyd Knibbs amongst others. He was soon joined by Don Drummond, to whom, this album is dedicated. Ironically, the album also stands as a Tribute to Rico, who also passed away in the Fall of 2015.

However, in the early 1960's Rico decided to leave Jamaica and emigrated to London. His instrumental virtuosity eventually gained him many sessions and gigs, most notably with R & B combo Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames. In later years he featured as a member/player of the Specials and also with Jool's Holland's "Rhythm & Blues Orchestra".

This re-issue finds Rico back in 1969 with the opportunity to blow over contemporary Jamaican rhythms from legendary producer Bunny "Striker" Lee. Early in that year news arrived from Jamaica of Don Drummond's passing. Bunny and Rico learned of this and immediately decided to record a tribute album to this world renowned trombonist. The album's rhythms emanate from the Bunny Lee All Stars, with the trombone overdubs and the vocal interjections by Gene Rondo (aka Winston Laro), laid at T.M.0 Studios, London, in mid 1969. The album was completed in 4 hours, which is a testimonial to the trombone skills of Rico! .

Superb album for all Tribal sounds lovers... between 4/4 Footwork and Tribal house... A new project coming from Rennes, in west France, brittany... Enjoy
