‘Rise Up’ - The Riz Records Story
Various Artists

15 Track CD, Download and Ltd Vinyl Part 1 and Part 2 
   
  For Reggae Archive Records latest lovingly compiled and annotated testament to the nascent UK roots/dub scene of the 1990s, we've gone straight for one of the best with “Rise Up – The Riz Records Story”. With an output that spanned most of the decade and a catalogue that stretched beyond the usual handful of singles to include some very strong albums, Riz was a powerhouse for the revival of UK reggae and  the growth in it's popularity that continues to this day.
     After much difficulty in deciding which of the many first rate tracks we'd have to leave off due to time constraints, we've achieved a fantastic selection of 15 of the best the label has to offer. If that wasn't enough, six of the tracks feature exclusive discomixes from Rootikal's David Hill whilst tracks from Willie Williams and Earl 16 are previously unreleased. How and why these excellent tracks slipped through the net is now forgotten; it definitely wasn't down to lack of quality.
     One of the labels strengths was the ability to attract and record leading Jamaican artists as well as those from the UK. In addition to Willie Williams and Earl 16, we've included tracks from Johhny Osbourne,   Admiral Tibet, Danny Red, Bob Skeng, Orville Smith, Mikey Mystic, Indica All Stars and of course the ever present Riz All Stars, the sort of line-up that most of the UK's independent reggae labels could only have dreamed of recording. All the tracks were taken from the original master tapes with everyone involved in the project aiming to achieve the best possible sound. We think we've achieved it and this really is a treat for those who value sound quality; these tracks have never sounded better.
      In addition to the music, the package also contains extensive sleeve notes recounting the label's story with contributions from key players Nick Manasseh and Gil Cang as well as archive images, with the vinyl version coming in hand screen printed sleeves. Whether a long time fan looking to fill in some gaps or upgrade worn out singles or just a reggae fan looking for a great compilation with nothing but strong tracks you may not be familiar with, then this album is for you.
      “Rise Up – The Riz Records Story” is released by Reggae Archive Records on 27th January 2013 on CD, digital download and as an extremely limited vinyl pressing, spread across two separate LPs, complete with screen printed sleeves and sleeve note insert. Between them the two records contain all 15 tracks, available from all good retailers and direct from Reggae Archive Records.

Reggae Roast (Feat. Brother Culture) 
‘The Flava’ EP (RR020) 
Reggae Roast Records 
Release Date: August 2015 
Format: Digital

Reggae Roast have built some serious momentum over the last seven years and are really hitting their stride in 2015. Their earth rocking Soundsystem has been powering some of the heaviest sessions all over the globe and the Reggae Roast crew have been shelling every dance they play at. As the follow up to one of the biggest tracks of the summer, ‘Soundsystem’ featuring UK veteran Brother Culture, they’ve compiled an extended player of some of BC’s toughest collaborations with the RR crew.

The EP kicks off the title track ‘The Flava’, a seriously weighty riddim which Brother Culture rides with ease & style. His imitable style of con- scious lyrics & vocal gymnastics is showcased throughout the EP, espe- cially on the second track, ‘Bring Up Di Weed’. To follow, ‘Same Old Story’, steps up the tempo & the vibrations with BC delivering a world his- tory lesson in a style only he can. The next track, well what can you say?! ‘Soundsystem’ has been tearing up dancehalls outernationally this summer, including serious support from none other than Sir David Rodigan! To round off the EP, Brother Culture comes with deeper lyrics and an apocalyptic flow on the deadly ‘Seal’.

Brother Culture is one of the UK’s greatest lyricists and artists, who after starting his career around 1982 has been travelling the world spreading the positive message of Rastafari. He’s joined forces & worked with many other world renowned artists too over the years such as The Prodigy, Mungo’s Hi-Fi, Adrian Sherwood & Manasseh. In 2015, BC, is leaner, meaner & ready to chant down babylon again and again!

Reggae Roast aren’t stopping just yet and have much more music ready for release this year including a brand new crisp musical biscuit from Kenny Knots & Conscious Sound, a full length album from Adam Prescott plus loads more!
