Hip-Hop Vinyl New Releases - News

International reggae star Alborosie returns with the dub version of his celebrated "Freedom & Fyah" album from last year titled "Freedom In Dub". The distinctive production of these ten newly recorded dub mixes underscore Alborosie's skill and credibility as a master of dub. All tracks are produced and (mostly) played by Alborosie and recorded at his Shengen studios in Kingston, Jamaica.

Das Beste von dem Sänger mit der rauchig-smoothen Stimme, der seit mehr als 30 Jahren als Solokünstler, Songwriter und Produzent erfolgreich ist. "Can't Stop A Man" präsentiert 36 ausgesuchte Songs aus den Jahren 1976 bis 2003 auf Triple-LP im Gatefold Sleeve und ausführlichen Liner Notes & Track by Track-Notes, geschrieben vom US-amerikanischen Reggae-Experten Rob Kenner. Erstmalig in Jahre 2003 parallel zum gleichnamigen 2CD-Digipak Set erschienen, ist dieses Beres Hammond Porträt wieder als Vinyl erhältlich. Das Zitat von Prime Entertainment zum Konzert im Kölner Stadtgarten bringt es auf den Punkt: "Beres Hammond beeindruckt mit seiner durch tiefes Timbre geprägten, dennoch smoothen und sehr eindringlichen Stimme. Seine Texte sind stets von einer emotionalen Dichte und der Wahrheit getragen, dass wir eigentlich alle nur nach Liebe suchen. Diese essentielle Message verpackt er in große Dancehall-Smasher, ebenso wie in romantische Balladen und in spirituelle Rootsgesänge."

A multi-faceted performer and songwriter, Taz straddles both the hip hop world and dancehall/reggae arena. He first came to the world's attention performing alongside Dizzee Rascal on their Just a Rascal video, having co-written it and earning himself an Ivor Novello Award into the bargain. After becoming the youngest rap artist to be signed to Def Jam UK in 2004, Taz released his massively acclaimed Analyse This album and has never looked back. After teaming up with Jamaica's Jazzy Kitt Music Group, Taz released Up Deh which was immediately snapped up by Ramrock Records for UK vinyl release. Already getting BIG props on Jamaican radio stations, an exclusive on Ras Kwame's Capital Xtra show, signal from Original Memzee and Pyro Radio, Up Deh is set to mash up the dance worldwide - trust me!

CAMAR FLAVA - 'GET UP BACK'
Seasoned reggae artist Camar Flava has been long established on the international music scene as a prolific performer and songwriter, recording and producing hits such as Whine and Twist, It's You, Your Body Is

Kicking stepping and dancefloor dub flavour !!

* Rob Smith is undoubtably the Godfather of the modern Bristol music scene, his music and influence defining the city over the last three decades.

* Punch Drunk presents a very limited repress of two anthemic two step indebted productions from the early 2000s in the classic Rob Smith style.

There's nothing Scotch Bonnet Records like more than a time-travelling global link-up. Latest release Raggamuffin Soldier enlists ageless Jamaican dancehall singer Robert Lee for a silky statement of his longevity. The riddim is a crisp lick of haunting Brit-digital collectors' grail Aggro - built by uncompromising New Zealand producer Naram. It's a JA, NZ and UK alliance sure to conquer dances around the world.

At the borders of rub-a-dub dancehall and experimental electronica you'll find the music of Trilion. This ramshackle Raggamuffin Israeli collective mutated from a collaboration between acid rock band 3421, the Easy Rider emcees and Ranking Levy from My Lord sound system. Their debut album No Future With No Past, released by Glasgow's Scotch Bonnet records is a seamless fusion of sparse dubscapes, saw-toothed psychedelia and raw dancehall vibes. Trilion productions bubble through a myriad of unusual moods from blissful to threatening. By contrast the lyrics courtesy of Levy, General G, Yuta B, Mentor Irie, Guma Ranks and the exquisitely exuberant Miss Red are feisty and down to earth. Describing themselves as a musical Caesar salad' Trilion's music, like their line-up, is in a constant state of flux. Splicing the strut-and-thrust of a sound system party with disruptive digital dystopia, No Future With No Past is reminder that everything is connected - and music opens the mind...

"Wonderwheel Recordings is very proud to present the long awaitedsingle from albumBennuby Queens, NY based produced Thor Partridge, aka Thornato.""Rhinoceros"" was Thornato's breakout hit from theBennualbum, and was a perfect fit for an updated Dancehall gem of a 7"". The OG sits on the A side, with it's massive bass driven energy and killer performance from veteran chat master Gappy Ranks, while on the B Side, Montreal's Poirier (Nice Up!, Ninja Tune) delivers an absolutely stomping stripped down dembow remix with speaker cabinet shattering bass, and muted dub effects. Not likely to leave the 7"" box of selectors all over the world for quite some time!"

Bold, exuberant, expansive re-charting of the same neck of the sleng-teng invasion as vintage Jahtari and Tapes.
The Upsetter meets Raymond Scott meets Horsepower Productions... on a writhing, pinging bed of Spaghetti Western... at the synthy grassroots of Library.
Tremendously enjoyable, next-level stuff from Seekers.
Blood-red vinyl.

This is the highly antcipated re-press of the much sought afer and long unavailable sophomore album from South American producer Chancha Via Circuito who molds local South American rhythms into global artstry.
Rio Arriba bubbles up from the Andes like percussive lava, seething as it is soothing. Layers of drums play out like water and earth batling heat on Rio Arriba, where South American folklore takes the reins and, under Chancha's steady hand, obscure backwoods rhythms take on a top shelf lifestyle as folklore hits the club. Cumbia made Chancha's frst album Rodante a stand out, Rio Arriba takes his sound primal, rooted in rhythm, but worldwide in scope. The album mingles remixed songs with instrumentals that apply clubland aesthetcs — sampling, patent repetton, isolaton of individual elements — to folky rhythms and
sounds.' The New York Times The sophomore album from Chancha Vía Circuito ofered shufing Latn rhythms, pastoral
melodies, hints of Latn folk, and, above all, an exquisite listening experience.' XLR8R Rio Arriba is a dreamy, neo-primitve mix of chopped-up pan futes, folk guitar, Coke-botle percussion, and booming, electronically treated drums-- an almost shamanistc sound that carries its own landscape: underbrush, riverbanks, campfres.' Pitchfork

Opening the series with "Live Forever" a stiff, in depth roots rhythm featuring one of the key figures of the new generation rasta singers Dre Island. Reminds us the voice of Jr. Gong his vocal delivers a strong and moving message of our existence. Backed with heavy dub cut proving the high work ethic of the duo.
