Das Jamaikanische Trio The Abyssinians lieferte einige der schönsten Aufnahmen der Roots Era. Nun
werden die für Sammler begehrenswertesten 7'' Singles des Clinch Records Katalog als sorgfältig
reproduzierte Kopien neu veröffentlicht. The Clinch Singles ist eine großartige, streng limitierte Box
aus hochwertigen Vinylplatten. Das Set ist die Antwort darauf, dass sich Fans bis jetzt mit nur
qualitativ geringwertigen Pressungen zufrieden geben mussten. Dies verwehrte ihnen lange die
Möglichkeit diese außergewöhnlichen Werke in dem Format zu hören, für welche sie ursprünglich
kreiert wurden. Das Box-Set beinhaltet ein Inlay, welches detaillierte Informationen zu jedem einzelnen
Track bietet und ist somit ein Muss für jeden Fan.

More killer previously unreleased Barry Brown from Channel 1, from early '80s sessions that at one point were slated to make up his aborted second LP for the label.

Two killer unreleased tunes from the early '80s. The Traditions were a group with seemingly no other released tunes.

Lucha Amada ll" ist der zweite Benefiz-Sampler des gleichnamigen Musikkollektivs. Wie schon sein
Vorganger von 2011 erscheint die Kompilation beim Label Jump Up als Doppel-CD im auffalligen Buchformat.
Alle Erlose aus dem Verkauf werden an antifaschistische Gruppen und Initiativen gespendet. Unter anderem
geht ein Teil an NSU Watch NRW und an die Initiative in Gedenken an Oury Jalloh. Im Booklet beleuchtet der
Journalist Bernard Schmid die aktuelle Lage in einem nach rechts ruckenden Europa. Das Cover wurde
exklusiv von Carlos Undergroove aka Dabunker gestaltet. Musikalisch orientieren sich die beiden CDs an
Reggae und Ska, schielen aber verspielt Richtung Cumbia, Raggamuffin, Rap, Chanson, Dub, Punk und
sogar Dupstep. So international wie die Zusammenstellung ausgerichtet ist, so weit gefachert zeigt sich auch
die Bandbreite der vertretenen Kunstler. Die stammen unter anderem aus Frankreich, Italien, Spanien,
Bosnien-Herzegowina, Chile und Mexiko. Das macht unterm Strich bei 140 Minuten Laufzeit insgesamt
abwechslungsreiche 38 Songs gegen den wachsenden Rassismus in Europa.

10 track Album from Gregory Isaacs released by Dub Store Records

Starting from Liviana's vocals and percussions, with "Ye Maya E" Gerardo arranged and produced a 3-track EP that perfectly transmits the powerful vibration of afrocuban music.
A solid horn section, enthralling percussion sounds and a clubby attitude: these are sounds that will shake your body, the club sounds Gerardo got us used to.

Oje Ken Ollivierre aka PROTOJE: There is an exciting resurgence of conscious, organic music in Jamaica and industry experts and observers agree that Protoje is playing an important role in what is becoming known as the 'Reggae Revival.' Leading the militant band - The Indiggnation - this powerful songwriter and philosophical thinker articulates the righteous anger of an emerging generation.
The Ancient Future album (MRBCD/LP130) reached number 1 on the iTunes Reggae Chart in it's first week, and has received great acclaim by many publications thus far, including Mass Appeal's Top 25 Best Albums of 2015 and United Reggae's 10 Best Reggae Albums of 2015.

Featured in Vogue piece - Jamar Rolando McNaughton aka CHRONIXX: Born October 10, 1992, Chronixx was musically nurtured from an early age by his father, the artist Chronicle, and grew up surrounded by the likes of Burro Banton, Norris Man and Gregory Isaacs. This was before 'Little Chronicle' benefited from the mentorship of Danny Browne with whom he recorded his first tune in 2003. His remarkable ascension in the music industry was in full effect when he began harmonizing for artists such as Lutan Fyah and providing production assistance for tracks sung by Konshens, Munga Honorable, Popcaan and others.

One year after the release of his fifth studio album "Movement", Gerardo Frisina comes back with a new EP: 5 tracks that outline his current sound. Call it latin jazz dance if you will, but these tracks display subtleties, indications of different moods and areas of research.

In 2015 JUMP UP released the brilliant "FRIENDS ON BENEFITS" EP 7" from these UK 2 TONE ska darlings, hot on the heels of the vinyl pressing of the PRINCE FATTY produced debut "SOMEHOW WE MET". Now their debut 3 song 7" EP is available to fans worldwide. Last copies on the band's KILLER SKA label.

We proudly present to you our new vinyl release, Subactive strikes with their first 12' on our imprint. After the first 7' release with the legendary Mikey Murka, Subactive now teams up with El Fata and Danny Dread on the vocals and a mad Dub Version from Naram and Art out of Jahtari and Colonel Mustard.

Side A features El Fata on a relick of the Run Run Riddim, a modern digital style with fat basslines and melodic progression chords that will shake up the dancefloor. The dub version comes in a very different style and influenced by the German down-tempo dub culture.

On the B side we can find the veteran Danny Dread with his conscious lyrics and a dub version by Naram which is heavily influenced by Asian and Arabic sounds. This is a limited edition of 500 copies with our first full print sleeve. Both riddims will be found as a free download with all the orders through our online shops.

Limited edition 7" from Zion Train with Deep Root, presenting a collaboration with the vanguard of the up and coming Jamaican new roots scene.

*A brand new rough and rugged track from veteran ­vocalist Sandeeno who has recorded with a who's who of both Jamaican and UK based producers over the last three decades or so.
* Jah Tubbys sound system has been running this on dubplate for the last year causing distress across Europe and the UK.
* Backed with a dubwise excursion courtesy of the Partial Crew and mixed by Dougie Wardrop of Bush Chemists / Conscious Sounds.
* `Roughneck Soldier' rides the same tough digital riddim as Solo Banton's `Had Enough' (PRTL7028).

1963 gründete Clement "Coxsone" Dodd in der Brentford Road im Westen Kingstons das Studio One. Mit
seinem Downbeat Soundsystem war er zu dieser Zeit in Jamaika bereits ein echter Star. Doch mit der
Gründung des Tonstudios und Labels schrieb Dodd globale Musikgeschichte. Da das Studio für
jamaikanische Verhältnisse technisch exzellent ausgestattet war, und Dodd neben einem Gespür für Musik
und kreativen Köpfen ein ausgeprägtes Geschäftstalent besaß, war es nur konsequent, dass sich bei ihm
sämtliche Reggae-Künstler der Insel die Klinke in die Hand gaben, darunter Bob Marley, The Skatalites, Peter
Tosh, Bunny Wailer, The Heptones, Don Drummond, Burning Spear und Dennis Brown. Damit war Dodd
nicht nur maßgeblich an der Entwicklung von Reggae und all seiner Spielarten von Ska und Rocksteady über
Roots und Dub bis Dancehall beteiligt, vor allem war das Studio One eine verlässliche Hitmaschine, die durch
einen einzigartigen Trademark-Sound bestach. Wie dieser klingt, und dass dieser auch heute noch klingt,
bringt die Kompilation "Studio One Showcase" mit 18 Stücken von unter anderem Horace Andy, Sugar
Minott, Johnny Osbourne, Lone Ranger, Prince Jazzbo oder Cedric Im Brooks eindrucksvoll zu Gehör.

Second album from 1982 that saw African Head Charge working manipulated and vari-speeded 1/4 inch tape loops that were re-recorded back to the multi-track, soaked in reverb and delay, and then applied to the performances of the musicians, not to mention extensive use of found sounds and field recordings, hence the title
Re-cut at dubplates & mastering in Berlin for maximum bass pressure.
Includes printed inner with sleevenotes by Steve Barker (On The Wire), plus download card for full album

7x7Inch Box mit allen 7-Inch-Singles, die der beliebte Sänger für den Produzenten Augustus Pablo aufgenommen hat plus erstmalig für die Öffentlichkeit das Hometown Hi-Fi Sound System Special "Some Of Them Say Them A Rasta".

10 track Album from Gregory Isaacs released by Dub Store Records

Goodnight Rico is a tribute to the eminent Jamaican trombonist Rico Rodriguez who passed away on September 2015. Featuring a beautiful, plaintive horns melody and one drop bounce that characterised many of Rico's seminal recordings. Soothsayers horns have channelled their treasured memories of performing onstage with Rico into this composition. The track features great solo trombone by Harry Brown as well as Idris Rahman on Tenor Saxophone and Robin Hopcraft's trumpet all deftly enhanced by a fine studio performance from Soothsayers' band. Mixing is in the experienced hands of Nick Manasseh who subtly frees the cut's diverse sonic layers and taking the flipside to the outer reaches of the "dub -o -sphere".

Taken from the critically acclaimed "Survival Of The Fittest" LP, Greece's Blend Mishkin and his Roots Evolution band deliver another heavy slice of modern reggae, this time featuring UK dancehall star Gappy Ranks. Deep brooding horns provide the perfect backing for Gappy to lay down his tales of sufferation and overcoming adversity to triumph. On the flip, Blend strips back the vocals and dubs up the track with added instrumentation for the haunting "Melodica Dub".

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.

The unreleased album from 1984 sees the day of light! The final album for Keith Hudson aka The Dark Prince of Reggae was recorded at Tuff Gong Studio and backed by The Wailers! Six extended masterpieces of rasta communications. A must have album for the Keith Hudson fanbase, for Roots Reggae & The Wailers collectors in general, and all the dubheads outernationally!
