Hang 'Em High (limited hand-numbered 7")
Cat: JAMWAX 30. Rel: 10 Aug 21
Review: The studio of Harry J's in Jamaica has turned out another pair of belters here. This limited edition and hand-numbered 7" features two killer 1969 tunes. The first is a bittersweet roots tune with a lead trumpet that does all the work. It's in conversation with the organ below and as they to and fro, expressing their pair, the bass rumbles and the percussion jangles. As well as that standout from Richard Ace, the flip-side has a super rare tune 'Candy Lady' by Hugh Black & George Ferris. It's another earthy tune with lovestruck vocals.

Hang 'Em High (reissue) (limited 7" in hand-numbered sleeve)
Cat: JAMWAX 030RE. Rel: 29 Sep 23
Review: On first spin, this 1968 rocksteady classic by Richard Ace, 'Hang 'Em High', instantly catches the ear. The electrifying combo of low-pedalled piano, bass bubble and monoized Hammond organ, all brought together under a dusty recording palette, wafts off a distinctly spaghetti-Western-dub aura. A Trojan Records favourite in its earliest heyday, it did well to launch the career of Ace, a lesser-cited Jamaican pianist whose talents nevertheless cropped up countless times across the catalogues of many of the nation's most esteemed dub imprints, including Studio One, Tiger and Coxsone. Just as it did on the original Trojan release, the song appears alongside the anthem 'Candy Lady' by Hugh Black and George Ferris, also produced by Ace's confidant for 'Hang 'Em High', Harry J.

Temple Duel (limited 10")
Cat: KHALIPHONIC 13. Rel: 18 Nov 19
Review: Blimey, if this isn't major meeting of musical Midas minds then we don't know what is. Alter Echo, E3 and Headland all collaborating with legendary dub flautist Diggory Kenrick. "Temple Duel" sets the scene in deep underground chambers, untouched by the sun. Reverb space is our only guide and ritual combat is the only way out as we make our way through subsonic 808 bass foundations, a near-industrial mid-range bass guitar groove, stiff snares, stick-fighting percussion and Diggory's torchlight melody. A truly fluid hypnotic narrative that arcs through the dark, if you're looking for an even foggier route flip for "Temple Dub" where the torch is extinguished and you have nothing but your sonic wits to take you home. Only Diggory knows if you make alive or not...

Review: A brand new 45 featuring the unmistakable voice of Vaughn Benjamin on French label Sir James, he of Midnite and Akae Beka fame. On the A side we have the uplifting roots reggae swagger of 'Take Your Time' where Benjamin speaks truth through his positive message, and there's the mandatory dub version on the flip. Produced by James Danino, with music by Riddim Activist & Hitman recorded at Conscious Embassy Studio in 2017. Mastered at Precise Mastering.

Give Thanks (12")
Cat: SAMREC 12001. Rel: 23 Apr 20
Review: The Montpellier-based crew behind new roots reggae label Samuel have a slightly different take on the sound than some of their contemporaries, with some of the tracks on this fine, compilation style debut EP drawing inspiration from other musical styles. So while Benjamin's vocal opener "Give Thanks" is a deliciously chunky slab of soulful reggae rich in hazy organs and dub style bass, Armel Courree, Pascal Bouvier and Corentin Lehembre's "Ethio Roots Theme" brilliant combines dub-wise reggae rhythms with duelling horn solos more akin to Ethio-jazz. The crew's global influences come the fore on the flip, where Lone Ark dubs out "Give Thanks" - with some subtle nods towards Turkish psych-funk, and Hoarang turns "Ethio Roots Theme" into a Binghi percussion workout with added hazy horns.

Review: Lempuyang's third offering is an outstanding split release between Steve O'Sullivan & Hydergine, label bosses for Mosaic/Bluetrain & Ranges. In 'Binary Riddim' Steve delivers a two-part dub track spanning >13 minutes, seriously heavy in the low end; melancholy strings in the first half, progressing to outright menacing chord stabs in the latter. A versatile track offering something for both warm-up and the dancefloor. Complimenting on the flip are 'Mystic Light' and 'Lunar Eclipse' from Hydergine. Deep, dubby atmospherics meander over a weighty 909 kick on B1. Subtle minimalism a la Terrence Dixon, pitched down on B2. Essential release!

The flip brings another true reggae living legend, Horace "Sleepy" Andy Hinds holds the rare distinction of having one of the most recognizable and unusual voices in the history of Jamaican music. Horace Andy's haunting falsetto has been imitated by scores of artists over the years and his compositions include some of the most covered material in reggae history. This cut originally saw the light of day on the classic Studio One label.

Review: The Horus label's All Stars production outfit serves up some super fresh roots tunes here with plenty of early 70s influences. The a-side original 'Sinner Man' features vocals from former Pioneers singer George Dekker. His carefree style brings a real innocence as he muses on "using the bible as a tool to catch the fool." The rhythms are pure bait with natty guitar riffs just hanging in the air and noodling keys worked in deep. Flip it over for a dub version that is heavy on the knob twiddles and studio effects.

Review: Recently revisited by RSD on the Broken Beats album, Horace highlight "Cuss Cuss" gets two superb reworks from DJ Madd and TMSV. The former goes for a starker, more traditional dub vibe, allowing the original riff to play a lead role in the arrangement while the rich steppy beats drive the groove forward. TMSV flips for more of a traditional dubstep flavour with a more prominent halfstep and uglier bassline. Both versions are incredible. No cussing please...

Review: The Hornin Sounds label invites you to sink deep into a reggae vibe on this superlative 7" from Vin Gordon. Though freshly mastered, the sis actually built on an old instrumental that was dug out of some archives. It was originally played by Fazal Prendergast alongside The High Times Players at the legendary Channel One studio in 1982. Scientist mixed it at King Tubby studio meaning its credentials are unquestionable. Here it is finished with some deadly and devastating trombone from 'Don D Junior.'

Review: Vocalist and lyricist Joshua Hales links up with composer, arranger and producer Humble Brother on the latest Dub Invasion 7" and the results are hard hitting. The original "Rise & Fall" has incessant kick drum that lean forwards and forces you to skank while contemporary dancehall synths and a distant exotic guitar line add to the pressure. The dub version is an even more straight up banger, and as it's all mixed by Kai Dub and mastered at Pressure Mastering, you can be sure it will sound fatter than fat on a big system.

Good Measure EP Part 1 (12")
Cat: NADO 021. Rel: 08 Feb 17
Review: On this multi-artist bonanza, Aficionado owners Jason Boardman and Moonboots have decided to showcase contemporary talents from Manchester, in association with clothing brand Good Measure. Half Sink steps up first, gently unfurling the reverb-heavy guitar solos, booming bass and shuffling samba rhythms of "Tsukimi". King Clyde's loose, groovy and fuzzy "Request Line" is a bouncy disco-funk treat, while Dream Lovers' "For Belgian Friends" is an evocative chunk of meandering bliss. Arguably best of all, though, is "On A Whispered Way" by The Records We Never Made, a glistening, delay-heavy foray into cinematic, post-rock pastures. Clearly, Manchester's got (Balearic) talent.

Review: This rare reissue of the 1974 joint 7" that features Cedric Brooks' 'April Song' and Beresford Hammond's 'Why?' has been rumoured now for some time. Finally, 50 years after the original it has happened.

Review: The third release on the Misadventures label has as solid as the first two. This time out it is Manchester producer Haners who is back at the buttons with the sort of impossibly dreamy and tropical Balearic sounds that brighten up even a drizzly northern afternoon. The supple and sublime 'Denial' kick off with gently titling grooves and wet claps, acoustic guitar riffs and breathy vocals tones. 'Shooter' is a reggae and dub tinged rhythm that lolls up and down like a swaying tide. 'Memories' is for when the sun sets and the party gets more dance floor oriented with nice cosmic disco overtones.

This one comes on 12" in hand-stamped sleeve and the A-side is an 11+ minute collection of tunes from Derrick Harriott & The Tamlins & Joy White & Reasons & U-Brown with natty chords, sleigh bells and choral reggae vocals. What a mix. In authentic reggae fashion, the flip side is a dub of the whole lot by The Chariot Riders.

Review: Two dubwise covers, re-issued since Ximeno's first press in 2012. Originally released in 1983, Derrick Harriott's cover of The Dazz Band's "Let It Whip" fuses the best of dub (he was one of the first artists to make sweet music with King Tubby at the mixing controls) and boogie, creating a unique hybrid that works almost too well. Meanwhile on the flip, Susan Cadogan covers the Mtume classic "Juicy Fruit" (also released in 1983), switching the original's R&B flavour for something more sunkissed and sultry. Both will work wonders when the summer comes.

Review: The all new Motive label is serving up its second 7" here and it comes in the form of a brand new tune from the great singer and musician Jerry Harris. He is best known for his famous association with the legendary Wackies label and studio and here appearing with a slightly older, more smoky tone than back in the day, he sure knows how to lay down a top line over a nice rumbling dub rhythm. Some twinkling synths add colour and on the flip the whole thing is pulled apart, slowed down and dubbed out with some mad effects.

Review: This limited edition 10" is taken from an album, Dubbing At Harry J's 1972-1975., which features 10 hard-to-find dub cuts on one CD. Two of the best have been selected for this vital platter with 'Every Dub Is A Star' on the A-side. It's cavernous and lo-fi in texture, with a spare vocal ringing out next to the natty chords and classic early-sounding dub rhythms. On the flip is 'Man Needs A Dub', another beautifully empty dub that is purposeful and slow and has plenty of room for the aching vocal to ring out and really make a lasting impact next to minimal other details.

Review: Healing Force Project is prolific Italian artist Antonio Marini. Over the last decade he has dropped plenty of heat on the likes of Firecracker, Berceuse Heroique, 2 Headed Deer, Random Numbers and more. Drifted Entities Vol 1 is his latest offering and is an experimental take on dub, cosmic funk, jazz and drum & bass with the HFP signature unifying it all. 'Tiny Germs' opens up on dark, sparse drums that are kinda haunting then 'Upbeat Damage' is a deconctructed jungle jazz cut with squealing synths that bring the horror. The flip side continues in that eerie manner with fresh musicality and loose arrangements drawing you in.

Review: Italian artist Antonio Marini is Healing Force Project and he is a hugely prolific artist who has recorded for plenty of well regarded labels. This is one of his more experimental works which as always joins up ambient, jazz and abstract, mind-altering techno and more into subversive and often cinematic soundscapes. 'The Bathysphere Stalks The Ganja' is a brain twisting dub that takes you deep into a mystic jungle where the remnants of ancient cultures echo through the trees. 'Jah Connection' is a seven minute head melter with muffled, muted horns, blurred rasta vocals and endless echo.

Review: Weird balearic acid electro and downtempo from the group known as Hektisch Sprengen DJs (known as the heads of the label Terra Magica). Their efforts until now have been to release oddball music from their contemporaries, but never before have we heard anything from the heads themselves. Drawing on Latin music styles such Cumbia, there are all manner of phoned-in vocal samples thrown in, such as Dr. Alban's refrain from the 1990s hit 'No Hash Hash, No Cocaine'. A low-end-centric, soft-edged effort to induce trance states in the listener.

Review: Henry & Louis hooked up with Prince Green for this one way back in 1995. It has been a cult underground favourite ever since and finally it gets a long awaited reissue which will save you having to fork out three figures-plus for an original copy. 'Too Late' is polished electronic dub with impassioned vocals praising jah. 'Too Dub When Rastafari Dubs' strips out much of the word play and ups the studio trickery, then two further dubs take up the b-side. 'Too Dub (Will Be Their Cry)' then ups the drums with a more muscular feel, and last of all comes a version laden with echo and reverb.

Review: Rarely does a set of remixes unite such a disparate set of genres as roots reggae, dubstep, techno and cosmic balearica with such
effortless aplomb as this red hot 10" plate from out of Bristol town. Suitably, it's been burning holes in premier league sound systems
through recent weeks: Jah Shaka, Aba Shanti for instance - as well as providing the climactic moment of Pinch's recent, much
discussed and widely sought after 'dubstep meets techno' mix for the wonderful Mary Anne Hobbes' show on Radio 1. Andy Scholes
of Henry & Louis recorded the original, yearning Tony Tuff vocal to 'Answer' during the mid-nineties at the legendary Channel One,
Kingston Town - one of the holiest of studio spaces in Jamaica. Tuff's pedigree since the early classic African Brothers' sides such
as 'Righteous Kingdom' is beyond question, and here the loops and arcs of his vocal taps into that same spiritual feeling, as he sends
out 'a message to all corners of the earth'. Rob Smith of More Rockers fame stays true to this heritage for his remix, like the long term,
dyed in the wool true roots man he is, underpinning the Prince Far-I echoes of Prince Green's inspirational DJ delivery with considerable
bass pressure. Ras Stryka Dread's mix ascribes a fluid digital reggae low end flow to proceedings which should fairly sing on the more
digitally inclined systems. The flip holds two delicious wild cards - The Cure's 'Lullaby' is yanked out of the doom-laden surroundings of
the classic 'Disintegration' album and injected with some delightful and surprising sunshine vibes, Sledgehead running vocal and dub
remixes which could well become defining sunset records for the summer we're all hoping may well yet arrive. Which leaves a seismic
Pinch remix to completely rush the sound - unpacking the crucial yard credentials atop a skeletal, rigorous stepper - proper uptempo
dancefloor material with a deadliest floor covering bass hum which should only come to true life on the sturdiest, largest systems, it
concludes a totally essential ep in bravura fashion. 'Answer' is out on 2 Kings.

Review: The Heptones are as esteemed as it comes when talking about dub and reggae. They were big dogs in the 1970s and brought an always soulful sound to their roots when the genre was already at its most vital and genuine. They also came with profound lyrics that resonate to this day next to their harmonious melodies and pressing conscious messages. Now for the first time their iconic 'African Child' comes on 7" directly from the legendary world of Jack Ruby. A heavier dub takes up the just as vital B-side.

Review: On their latest deep dive into the vast vaults of Jamaica's Studio One Records, Rock A Shacka has unearthed two largely overlooked gems. On the A-side you'll find 'Chinese Beauty' by vibraphonist Lennie Hibbert, which first featured on his 1971 album More Creation. It's a wonderfully relaxed affair in which hazy organ stabs and Hibbert's fluid vibraphone solos solos rise above a languid, early evening riddim. Over on side B you'll find a genuine rarity: the sole single from Coxsone Dodd-produced outfit Main Roots. 'Plea My Case' is a fine harmony vocal number in which the singers plead their case to the Man Upstairs over a slow, chunky, head-nodding roots reggae groove.

Review: Manchester's Hidden Spheres becomes the latest artist to showcase his cosmic, percussion-heavy reworks and re-edits on Talking Drums' offshoot Drum Chums. As you'd expect, the sometime Lobster Theremin, Moods & Grooves and Rhythm Section International producer is in fine form from the off, delivering ear-catching, mildly Balearic reworks of genuine obscurities. The highlight for us is 'Stolen', a version of an early South African kwaito number that's big on proto-house bass, densely layered percussion, lo-fi synth melodies and fine lead vocals. Over on the reverse, 'You Better Dance' is a deliciously dreamy, reggae-influenced, mid-tempo Afro-Balearic treat, while 'Together' sounds like a re-wire of an eccentric bit of mid-to-late '80s bubblegum brilliance.

The Road Is Rough (limited 7")

Review: For those with major gaps in their ska, rocksteady and reggae collections, Treasure Isle's ongoing reissue series of seven-inch singles is a godsend. The Arthur 'Duke' Reid-founded label's latest must-have missive is a strong double-header. On side A you'll find "The Road Is Rough", a hazy and quietly soulful rocksteady gem from the prolific (and hugely successful) vocal group Justin Hinds and the Dominoes. The ear-pleasing musical backing on that number comes from Treasure Isle house band Tommy McCook and the Supersonics, an outfit that gets a chance to shine over on the flipside. Instrumental number "Look Away" is superb, with the band layering bittersweet horn lines and melancholic piano solos over a rock solid rocksteady riddim.

Review: For their latest release, the Love In Public Spaces crew has turned to a genuinely new talent: London-based Iranian Kasra V, who was previously best-known for his residences at Love Fever and on NTS. His debut EP was apparently crafted using a vintage MPC2000, a "battery of FM keyboards" and "midi-synced drum machines". It's basically a late 80s style hardware set up, so it's no surprise that gentle and seductive A-side opener "Voyage" is awash with chiming lead lines, kaleidoscopic synthesizer sounds and warm, rolling grooves. He opts for a sleazier, more guitar-driven sound on "Last Orders", while inspired flipside "Escapism" is a mid-80s, post-electro synth-scape with subtle Middle Eastern tones, B-movie synth-strings and tons of sweaty drum fills.

Review: In 1982, Jamaican singer Errol 'Flabba' Holt joined forces with reggae's greatest rhythm section, Sly & Robbie, to release a track called 'Danger Zone' on their Taxi label. It's now a celebrated and well-known single, but few outside reggae record collecting circles know of Holt's earlier recording of the self-penned song. It was recorded and released on the tiny Different Drum label at some point in the 1970s, and here gets a much-deserved reissue. On the A-side you'll find his original vocal version; titled 'My Heart Is In Danger', it's a slick and soulful roots reggae treat rich in hazy horns, clipped guitars and warming bass. It comes backed by its original flipside, 'Danger Zone': an effects-laden dub that emphasizes the rhythm track's inherent heaviness.

Review: The uber powerful voice of Jamaican reggae singer songwriter John Holt appeared on countless seminal singles and albums - our favourite being 1974's superbly entitled 10000 Volts of Holt. It was a year earlier that he dropped this single on Clocktower. 'My Happiness' is a steady ska sound with natty acoustic guitar riffs and neat little motifs under a freeform trumpet that rises from the mix. His trademark gravelly vocals are all present and correct, too, of course, with a version on the flip that stops them away and leaves the drums to roll.

Review: Al Wootton and Valentina Magaletti's Holy Tongue project is back for a second offering on Amidah. Once again they explore the outer edges of electronic dub and psychedelic post punk with four fascinating new tunes that have been crafted with the additional input of saxophonist Ben Vince. He adds to the swirling and expansive sound of these tracks, which are built on heavy drums, clacking percussion and detail with plenty of FX. Dark but alluring, there is a deeply spiritual and primeval feel to these most tranced out of tracks.

Review: Al Wootton and Valentina Maghaletti's outstanding post-punk-dub twosome notches up a third record of vital sonics for those who cherish the magic when propulsive rhythms collide in the echo chamber. Like the music on ZamZam Sounds and the work of Al Cisneros, for example, Holy Tongue succeeds so wholly because the balance between dub tradition and experimentation is absolutely achieved. This is without question a true-skool dub excursion, but it has plenty of its own individual character, not least thanks to Maghaletti's incisive percussive thrust. Skip this record at your peril.

The Lion Has Come (hand-numbered 7" limited to 200 copies)
Cat: WDR 001. Rel: 12 Jan 21
Review: Hondub Hiroaki started producing music in the 2000s as a teenager so is a master of his machines. This new one is a big collision of different sounds and textures. 'The Lion Has Come (feat Brother Culture)' goes first and is al staggering, swaggering drum lines, digital dub and fizzing, pixelated leads that get you banging your chest. It's stark and dark for future lovers, with Brother Culture vocals adding to the fire. The flip offers up the Dub Has Come, a version filled with effects and echo and just as much tension.

Review: Pennsylvanian based roots reggae band House Of Assembly dropped their last ever single in 1988 and this is it. The band was formed din Kingston, Jamaican and made up of Norman Bailey, Marc Campbell, Claver Campbell and Louis Putman, all of whom bonded over a love of dub and reggae before moving to the US. They made one album in the 80s became well known on the local scene. This single is one of their most well loved tunes with its stuttering rhythm and crashing hits as well as hints of 80s disco production. The rock-apella and dub version take it in great new directions, too.
