Artist: Adam Prescott
Title: Technique EP
Label: Liondub International
Catalog #: LNDB-020
Format: Digital / Vinyl 12"
Release Date: April 15th, 2014
File Under: Dubstep / Reggae / Dub

Liondub proudly presents the debut release from Reggae Roast badman Adam Prescott. The Technique vinyl release features 4 tracks of heavyweight Reggae infused Dubstep pressure with a modern feel yet a classic, timeless sound. Expect deep, dubby passages inspired by Tubbys and Scientist with classic Japanese samplings coupled with in your face, modern drum hits and gut wrenching sub bass. This one is one for the history books and will surely garner support from fans and supporters of the original dubstep pioneers who created the genre.

An exciting upcoming producer in the UK digital roots scene, Nottingham’s Adam Prescott has been burning since 2010 with original songs featuring renowned vocalists such as Daddy Freddy, Brother Culture, Dynamite MC, Charlie P & Tippa Irie. His tunes have been played and remixed by Scottish reggae champions Mungo’s Hi-fi, and to-date he has two original solo releases on plate on the Reggae Roast and Nice Up! labels that have garnered heavy radio and club support from A-listers including David Rodigan. Prescott’s debut on Liondub International, Technique, is a full six-track solo EP full of heavyweight rhythms and styles to spare. The title tune leads off and skanks out of the iron gates with hard drops, announcing its confidence in the sample that lends it its title. ‘The Eight Devils’ goes in heavier and more uptempo with broken rhythms, ominous stabs and droning synthesizers. Bringing in the old-school Far Eastern flavor, ‘A State of Mind’ equally references classic dubstep vibes and the foundation sound of Augustus Pablo. With its minor mode and heavy bass weight, ‘Pressure’ fulfills its promise of going into a different session and turns the second side of the EP back towards darker territory during ‘Moving in the Shadows’. It finishes with ‘Sentinel’, featuring a production cameo from new talent Phasix and ending things on a very futuristic reggae tip with implied techno touches. Weighing in with six hotter burners, Adam Prescott’s ‘Technique’ is sure to increase pressure on the floor for the Liondub International massive.

You're So High

Now on the seventeenth release of forward thinking UK Reggae & Dub music, Reggae Roast are going from strength to strength with many underground hits under their belt already in 2013. This release definitely follows suit, having already done the rounds on dubplate for many months and set alight dances all over the world. They’ve signed up one of the top up and coming UK producers, Adam Prescott, and one of the top mic men on the scene, Charlie P. On remix duty they’ve drawn for the vanguard of dub, Iration Steppas, and digikal stalwart, Tradesman.

With this double A-side release Reggae Roast have lined up two heavy hitting bubblers built to test any soundsystem. ‘Lazy Man’ is a contemporary steppas reimagining of the stone cold classic ‘My Conversation’ by the late, great Slim Smith which is accentuated by Charlie P’s take on the advantages of being Lazy in modern day Britain. ‘Stand Firm’ on the flipside is a slice of ruff & tuff Rootstep with conscious lyrics from Charlie P alongside weighty bass assault and a hard rhythm section from Adam Prescott it’s a stark contrast to ‘Lazy Man’.

Straight outta Nottingham, Adam Prescott has been mashing up dances for many years now combining a crucial selection of dubplates and his own varied productions, which are always steeped in Roots music and Soundsystem culture. Having remixed some of the biggest names in Reggae & Dub such as Mungo’s Hi-Fi, Iration Steppas, Part2Style, Alpha Steppa, Radikal Guru, Vibration Lab and many, many more over the course of his career he has been finally let loose on a Reggae Roast extended player.

Charlie P hardly needs any introduction, however if you have been living under a rock for the past few years he has worked with pretty much everyone worth their salt within the modern day Dub circuit, such as Mungo’s Hi-Fi, Dubateers, Solo Banton, Part2Style to name but a few. Constantly touring the world and smashing Dancehalls on a regular basis Charlie shows no sign of slowing down, add to that he has just finished his second LP produced by none other than Scotland’s finest, Mungo’s Hi-Fi

In the Soundsystem game for over 20 years Mark Iration, one half of Iration Steppas (with Dennis Rootical), has been instrumental in the massive resurgence of Dub music over the past few years. Having set up the legendary Subdub sessions (alongside Outlook Festival’s Simon Scott) to showcase the mighty Iration Steppas Soundsystem, Mark is one of the most in-demand selectors on the scene. As a supporter of Adam’s work Mark has been playing his ‘Year 3000 Dub’ of ‘Lazy Man’ at nuff sessions across the world to sell out audiences. With another busy year planned hot off the back of their new LP ‘Iration Steppas Meets Tena Stelin in the Dub Arena’ Mark and the rest of the crew deserve their place at the top of the Soundsystem league. 

Hailing from Leeds, Tradesman has been exposed to a hot bed of musical activity, more importantly Soundsystem culture, for a number of years. He is a resident at one of Subdub’s more underground offshoots, Dancehall Science, and regularly supports some of the most exciting artists in Dub music today playing sets where the majority of the tunes are his own productions. This has, in turn, led to Scotch Bonnet (Mungo’s Hi-Fi imprint) snapping up his debut release with Parly B, ‘Inna Competition’ which gained support from some of the scene’s top players and took Tradesman’s ruffneck digital sound international. 

Reggae Roast is building a formidable catalogue featuring some of the most exciting artists in the UK and beyond. Key players in the resurgence of the UK Roots scene over the past 5 years, they are a leading light in the new generation of dub music. Setting them apart from the crowd is their ruff n tuff remixes giving the label a unique cross over appeal. Look out for plenty more releases in the coming months from the likes of Dubmatix, Vibration Lab, Ed West, Parly B and many more. 


Stand Firm (Tradesman Remix)- Adam Prescott & Charlie P

Liberation Riddim is the third release on Hundred Years and is a production from Reggae Roast heavyweight Adam Prescott, who is joined on the release by Cornel Campbell, Donovan Kingjay, Galak Spiritual & Papa B. The track bridges the gap between classic roots, dub from the echo chamber and driving modern steppas. The first vocal cut from the original Gorgon himself, Mr. Cornel Campbell blends Adam's tough original with Cornel's flawlessly sweet vocals to create 'Dem A Bawl', in which the driving deep bass line is perfectly accentuated by the flawless melodies and delays to provide us with an unmistakable and instantly recognisable take on modern roots at it's finest. Next cut see's Donovan Kingjay take to the booth for 'Statistic', an assured statement on the current social climate, providing a message of hope and unification, delivered powerfully in Donovan's unmistakable style. The final vocal version comes from Galak Spiritual entitled ‘Ancestors’, and is a tribute to his mixed blood, spreading a powerful message of love and acceptance. Rounding off the record is a powerful horns cut from Papa B, a saxophonist on his first instrumental outing since the anthemic 'Easton' by onlyjoe.

Marley's music had an immense impact on me as a youth and still resonates today Like many, he was my first introduction to reggae and since my first listen back in the 70s and 80s to now, his music does and will continue to stand the test of time and impact generations of fans and musicians alike for  the high quality of song writing and his message of harmony and peace.. 

This re-vision of  "Is This Love" was done a few years ago as a free "white label" promo. Please feel free to share.

When asked to explain his thinking behind the naming of Technicolour, label founder Dean Bryce told us last year, "I didn’t want the label to be pigeonholed and that name really seemed to reflect that." Looking back over everything that Technicolour has released since its emergence from the Ninja Tune bosom in early 2013, you'd have to say the label has lived up to Bryce's hopes, charting a course through skewed pop music, experimental electronics and out-there house and techno. Recent additions seem to convey Technicolour's cachet right now with Hieroglyphic Being and Legowelt both committing to the cause.

Outside of his role overseeing Technicolour and handling A&R duties for Ninja Tune, Bryce also produces music under various iterations of the name Photomachine with his debut coming on Raffertie's now defunct Super label back in 2011. Right now Bryce is operating as Fotomachine with some material on the horizon and he's also been seen moonlighting as half of Ren & Stimpy with FaltyDL producer Drew Lustman. Their Flesch/Neo Geo 12" came out earlier this year through Lustman's own Blueberry label and saw them pay homage to the Tom and Jerry project Dego and Marc Clair were involved in prior to 4Hero.

Given what's been released on the label so far and what we have heard is on the way for Technicolour, it felt like a mix from Bryce would offer some insight into the sound of the label. What Bryce submitted turned out to be just under an hour's worth of dark sounds suited to headphone listening, including some Florian Kupfer material scheduled for release on Technicolour. As we already covered how Technicolour fits in within the Ninja Tune community and Bryce's motivations for the label in the aforementioned interview last year, the focus of our questions below were on his background, introduction to DJing, and favourite episode of Ren & Stimpy.
