/ machete reloaded feat. Paul Wall

Some 20 years after scoring his megahit 'Incredible', General Levy has returned to his roots. This time he's joined by Bonnot, the multi-talented producer for Italian hip-hop band Assalti Frontali and AP2P. The record is the result of a symbiotic interchange: an unbeatable flow, which follows the heritage of the British urban rhythms.

The cosmic theme is well served on ten effects-riddled tracks, with the rockers style material being littered by all manner of stratosphere-breaking sounds from the mixing board, strategically adorned with snatches of ghostly echo and pneumatic percussion. It’s certainly an appropriate mood for a post-apocalyptic battle involving cartoon machines! Another DUB ESSENTIAL ALBUM from the legendary SCIENTIST!

Greater Than Great’ has a delicate collection of sixteen (16) songs from labels such as; Bizzarri Records, Dread Squad, Irie Ites Records, Weedy G Soundforce, Deebuzz Music, Hard2Def, Soulove/Delamix, Dreadsquad, DnH, Extreem, Kskamp and Rawkaz Clan.

Na also, doch auf Vinyl!!!

Vybz Kartel returns to da dancefloor with the new album “King Of The Dancehall”.

Check out this material from Konshens and Vershon.Features "Moskato" aka "Hold You" riddim.

Equiknoxx are one of the hottest, most innovative dancehall squads from Jamaica right now; Bird Sound Power is their debut collective show of strength, packing 12 avant, crooked riddims by core members Gavsborg and Time Cow, plus Bobby Blackbird and Kofi Knoxx, with vocals by Kemikal, Shanique Marie and J.O.E. (R.I.P).The set was parsed and pieced together by Jon K & Demdike Stare , and now thanks to link ups via Swing Ting’s Balraj Samrai (a longtime livicated supporter), it is issued on Demdike’s DDS imprint, replete with Jon K’s sleeve design.Easily identified by the squawking bird idents peppering their cuts, Equiknoxx productions have been big in the dance since Gavin Blair a.k.a. Gavsborg produced Busy Signal’s billboard hit Step Out in 2005, followed by key instrumentals for Beenie Man, Aidonia, Masicka, and T.O.K. - with many released on 7” thru their Equiknoxx Musiq label, and some of which, such as Aidonia’s Negative, are included in this set.Bird Sound Power arguably marks up the most striking riddim album you’ll hear from JA in 2016, weighted with the potential to open up perceptions of current dancehall thanks to the mad character and broad reference points of its producers, encompassing King Jammy’s foundational digi-dub and Dave Kelly’s Mad House sound as much as rugged New York hip hop and the wigged-out, feminine pressure of Virginia Beach’s Timbaland or The Neptunes.The oldest tune inside dates to 2009, but the rest are relatively recent dancehall mutations, including a number of exclusives produced in the last 12 months. Each one reps for Equiknoxx’s unique aspects, such as Jordan Chung a.k.a. Time Cow’s brilliantly bizarre, layered arrangements of film samples, sawn-off hooks and digi-tight beats, whilst also a result of as their distinguished family vibe, Bird Sound Power exists in a paradox, contemporary but classic, and with as much potential to turn new heads onto current JA sounds as Mowax’s Now Thing set back in 2001, which remains a key touchstone for all fwd looking producers..

Galang sees Parly embracing a tough ragga riddim track provided by Danny T & Tradesman that is reminiscent of the futurist, minimal style that was pioneered in the late 1990’s and early 00’s by producers such as Lenky, Ward 21, Frenchie and Steely & Clevie. As always Parly brings his distinctive vocal style to the track that perfectly rides the space and weight the riddim brings. Deliciously low slung, and punching at all the tastiest low end frequencies, this is one for the winers! This is the perfect taster for next year’s eagerly anticipated debut album from Danny T & Tradesman.

The next cut to Mungo’s lick over of Ice Cream Love is the lead single and title track from their forthcoming album. It’s a sound burial combination, pairing the great Johnny Osbourne with the lyrical pride of Ipswich, YT. Over-proof, unadulterated, undiluted: it sums up the album’s theme perfectly. Nothing is watered down here.

Charlie P is a raggamuffin rudeboy youth with a natural talent for music. He first appeared on stage at the age of 5 and there are some grainy youtube videos of him performing as a child. He started out singing motown and blues but reggae was in his blood since he grew up surrounded by UKJamaican culture. He started singing with the Goldmaster Allstars at the age of 11, but was soon drawn to soundsystems which is where he feels most at home. His uncle had been running a sound in Southend on Sea and it was his mother who encouraged him in his career. Charlie first came to Glasgow in 2010 for one of Mungo's Hi Fi's legendary nights at the Artschool. This was the beginning of their working relationship which has seen countless recording sessions and continuous touring around every corner of the globe. This album is the culmination of this ongoing relationship and brings together the best tracks across the styles that he loves, from roots reggae and dancehall to modern bass music. Some are surprised to see a young white guy with a Jamaican accent, but it is his musical language and Charlie is not pretending to be anything but himself - a man with a passion for good ganja and reggae dancehall.

Scientist’s name will be found on many dub releases in people’s record collections. His connection to King Tubby is inseparable and many would say that when dub had fallen on quieter times it was Scientist who breathed new life into it. His paired down mixing style suited the new dancehall reggae sound that came as the 70’s rolled into the 80’s. This 1982 LP includes the priceless dub to Johnny Osbourne’s classic Give A Little Love, as well as further cuts to the likes of Hugh Mundell and Wayne Jarrett. Scientist is always in control! Includes 6 bonus tracks!

A brutal digital roots meets dancehall rhythm produced by Dougie “Conscious Sounds” Wardrop and ridden by hot up-and-coming singer/deejay out of Paris with his second release on Partial Records. Flip is over for pure dubwise satisfaction.

Veteran thoroughbred Lord Sassafrass gallops across the riddim with the same panache that saw him rule dancehalls across Jamaica in the 1980s.

What could be better than an EP from Mungo's Hi Fi and Soom T?

Bristol's Mr Benn teams up with veteran dancehall/jungle MC Tenor Fly for this heavy roots infused reggae track. A rallying cry of No More Guns underpins a deeper message from this pairing, telling the story of a youth killed on the streets of Brixton.

These records come with an oversized poster — half of the records with Fyah Flames, half with I Jahbar.

"Who is Boss"? Zwei der herausragendsten Early Reggae-Bands der letzten Jahre beantworten diese Frage auf Ihre Art: Na klar, Nancy natürlich!
