Back catalogue: All genres

Review: Aloha Got Soul is pleased to announce Bitta Attack, the newest release from Jah Gumby. Based in Palolo Valley, Honolulu, the producer and multi-instrumentalist brings shimmering musical diversity and crate-digging sensibility to his four-track EP. Two high-energy, progressive reggae tunes, 'Dine An' Dash' and 'Influencers.m.h.', trace a link to his 2018 release Humility: The Vibes of Jah G, a double LP that presented Gumby's masterful ability to craft rich arrangements with overwhelming instrumental density. Continuing this tradition, Bitta Attack hears an expansion of Gumby's galaxy, introducing listeners to his love of freestyle music, the electronic New York dance genre made popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Both tracks derive heavily from freestyle's rhythm, cadence and synth-heavy production, though it fuses this with Jah Gumby's already established yet unique style, resulting in something unlike anything you've ever heard before.

Review: In 2001, Keith Finch and reggae manager Othman Mukhlis began retro reggae projects at Stanley House Studio. JA13 collaborated with 60s reggae legends like Alton Ellis, Derrick Morgan, Winston Francis, and Rico Rodriguez, leading to two solo albums with Rodriguez, championed by David Rodigan and Ranking Miss P. Their music appeared in TV shows and films, including Hawaii 5-0, Tesco ads, BBC programs, and 'Death in Paradise' and they've also contributed to a forthcoming Shaggy documentary. Finch worked with artists like Bob Andy, General Saint, and Madness and JA13's latest project is 'World Radio Dub - Chapter One.'

Review: GRAMMY-Award nominated reggae artist Jah Cure has already assured his musical legacy but that won't stop him coming through with more great albums. Undeniable is an 11-track long player filled with this artist's trademark sense of passion, romance and heartfelt songwriting. The sounds are a contemporary take on reggae with a fresh edge as well as a nod to the originators. The first single 'Everything' featuring Ghanaian star Stonebwoy has already pleased fans. The two collaborators hook up to great effect as they layer up soulful hooks that lament a love gone bad.
