Irie Vibes

Jahdan Blakkamoore teams up with Kabaka Pyramid on this roots reggae banger. For the Children is a positive reggae anthem encouraging the ghetto youths to rise up and take a stand while charging them with the responsibility for self-reliance and awareness. Shot on location in California last Summer while both artists were performing at The NW World Reggae festival and Reggae on the River.

The track produced by Zion I Kings (Pressure, Midnite, Snoop Lion) features reggae great Style Scott (Dub Syndicate, Roots Radics, Isreal Vibration) on drums and infuses elements of dubstep and hip-hop, making it fresh and current while remaining undeniably roots reggae. The riddim was tracked at legendary Jamaican Studio of Bob Marley fame, Tuff Gong Recording, in Kingston, JA.

Dub Factor 2 -  The Dub Judah Mixes is the second dub album that was released by Black Roots. in the early 1990s.  If you know  of Dub Factor - The Mad Professor you will, with this new reissued version, be able to compare and juxtapose the talents of these 2 dub masters who worked with the band on different full album projects.  After the vocal versions were produced they were let loose on the mixing desk  to shape, interpret and transform these Black Roots rhythms into these 2 dub versions that now make up the Dub Factor series.

Mad Professor worked with the band in the late 1980s and produced and mixed ‘All Day All Night’ and ‘Natural Reaction’ whose rhythm tracks led to the first ‘Dub Factor’  album after Black Roots gave him free reign at the mixing desk to cook up the dub  versions that made up this album.  It’s success prompted the band to follow this up with another volume of dub mixes and what better person to do this job than the eclectic, up and coming and talented  producer of the time and dub head Dub Judah himself who was doing production work for the band in 1993.
  
Dub Judah, of Dub jockey label fame, is still recognised and celebrated as one of the most respected names in UK Dub.  He  continues to work on his own projects but now spends part of his time playing bass for Norman Grant and the Twinkle Brothers .

His contribution to these recordings back in November 1993 at Coach House Studio in Bristol day was central to the success of the project.   He was brought in to programme the drums , play the keyboards and do his magic with the percussion over dubs; contribute to the vocals on 2 songs (Tribal War and What Them A Do);  produce the ’With Friends’ set and as an added  bonus was also given the freedom of the mixing desk to concoct and mould these dubs versions.  So after breathing new life into the songs that make up the ‘With Friends’ set it would have been an injustice not to release these dubs as the follow up album.  And so, Dub factor 2 was given life.  In essence this album is the dub version of ‘With Friends’.

It was first released on 3rd February 1994 on Vinyl, Cassette and CD and is now being reissued on 20th March 2020 as part of the programme by Nubian Records to make available all of Black Roots’ back catalogue on digital platforms.  ‘Dub Factor 2 - The Dub Judah Mixes’ is the second album of dub mixes released on the Nubian Records imprint as the band sought to exploit the growing popularity of dub music in the United Kingdom and outernationally back in the early 1990s.

ABOUT US
One of life’s chief lessons is the consistency of change. The Earth, once conceived flat, is now thought to be round. The Book of Enoch, Noah’s great-grandfather, was obscured for generations until three copies were brought out of Ethiopia by a prominent European explorer. Events like these have triggered paradigm shifts in the evolution of human thinking, yet the same principle applies to individual growth as well.

Akae Beka is the current manifestation of an evolving consciousness. Following a quarter of a century as lead singer and co-founder for the legendary, St. Croix-based band, Midnite, Vaughn Benjamin was inspired to intensify his light when life situations led him to revisit the Book of Enoch. He then realized his preparedness to answer the calling of a sacred oath described therein, the Akae, the Beka, one and the same. Much like the archangel Michael who was responsible for the truths pertaining to the secrets of creation, so does Benjamin today accept his role in a parallel time of rampant deception and broken taboos in the arenas of world leadership. Always rooted firmly in the teachings of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I, his personal evolution and reaffirmed purpose is manifested in his newly declared name.
