another monday, another release ;-)…
here comes the second VINYL in the >Lion's Choice< series...

this version hails back to early 2014 when I invited Echo Ranks longside Radikal Guru for a Lion's Den meets Moonshine Recordings night to the old Yaam… we used the little time before the session and the next morning to record some dubs with Echo in my little room back then for some Berlin soundmen and had a first exchange on the idea of a collaboration… some time after this meeting I sent him a heavy steppaz riddim by Violinbwoy and he went into the studio in Leicester to record "Don't Kill Your Brother"… those vocals were then sent to Poland and got the Violinbwoy dub treatment, him creating two completely new versions… full power, full force…
as I love the style and works of vrki and his Digitron Sound project a lot, the idea wasn't far-fetched to ask him for a remix… and so he gave it the psy-hooligan-steppas-approach :P just a glimpse of what's to come after those good times we spent together this spring and summer on tour, in the studio and on different festivals and sessions… watch out for some tuff collaborations :P

grab yur copy thru https://lionsdensound.bandcamp.com/ or us directly
(if yu are in the area and have the possibility: for us it's even much better and stronger support if yu buy directly from us… either at a gig, pass thru at our yard, etc. and not thru the store, as every little service takes a little share…)

This series reveals some unique compositions on three different 12inch discs to take you on an extraordinary journey - a more than three year collaborative work with our good friend and musical mastermind Violinbwoy finally ready fi all sound systems around the globe. Again a path from version over version to a next version - dubwise all the way… nuff tuff riddims, mixes, dubz and vocals were sent back and forth between Poland, Germany, France, Croatia and the UK, with some nice encounters on stage, in the studio, on tour or somewhere in between…

"Don't Kill Your Brother" is a tune very much needed in those times of political turmoil and warfare. Echo Ranks from Leicester, UK, calling upon his I-dren to stop the senseless killing. A message of peace for the youths of today. In this instance with a ruff remix by the 'Balkan Dub Defenders' Digitron from Zagreb, Croatia - electronic madness style… Each side with a 'part 2' dub mix in full effect.

All dubs were transferred to 1/2inch Tape for extra analogue warmth, mastered with care and pressed on high quality 180g vinyl by Star Delta / Delta Disc, UK. It is also digitally available.
Conscious music fooooorward…

ALBUM OF THE MONTH

“Global Rootical Power – Regular readers will know we are supporters of globe-trotting producer Alpha Steppa – and this project, with his dad and aunt, aka UK roots ‘n’ dub veterans Alpha & Omega, makes him a serious player in the soundsystem world. Featuring vocalists from as far afield as Ireland and Korea over 11 tracks plus dub versions, these all feature 4/4 ‘steppers‘ rhythyms, traditional digital dub instrumental sounds and subtle electronic ornaments, but mix perfectly into dubstep sets, their bass tones hitting as hard as any high-tech wobble. Add some history to your mix!” 8/10 Mixmag

“Reggae/dubstep producer Alpha Steppa is joined by his dad and aunt, better known as dub veterans Alpha & Omega, on this set of electronically enhanced reggae rhythms. A globe spanning array of rootsy vocalists ranging from Irish to South Korean also guest, but the real star of Unrelenting Force is the obliteratingly heavy bass. Not for laptop speakers.” Q Magazine

Alpha Steppa is thrilled to announce the arrival of a truly unique and international release that is bound to enthral music lovers of every generation.
Alpha and Omega, true icons of the dub world have joined forces with son and nephew Alpha Steppa to create Dub Dynasty. The record, in the words of Alpha Steppa, is “an exploration of the unrelenting force of nature and the inspirational powers that brought us together to create this record.”

Taking inspiration from this credo, the title Unrelenting Force is a true reflection of the power and community that dub has mastered. Alpha and Omega and Alpha Steppa have called on their favourite collaborators from the UK, Ireland, South America, New York, Jamaica and South Korea to join with them in merging their pure, unadulterated dub into one of the deepest releases ever seen.

Alpha Steppa spent 2011/12 living and creating music in Asia, and he has been rewarded with some powerful connections in South Korea. For Unrelenting Force, he has called in Koonta, a member of Rude Paper and Korean reggae duo Koonta & Nuoliunce. Having worked with Alpha Steppa in Korea the pair’s previous collaboration is indicated with the smoothness and ease in which Eastern and Western styles are mixed. Another artist from Korea to feature on the release is up-and-coming melodica wunderkind Smiley Song. Featured here on the tracks Dub Dynasty and Warrior Song, Smiley proves that the roots sound is alive and well all over the world. Singing on Chicken and the Cow and the Buffalo and Goodness is N’Goni, one of the most exciting and mysterious new lyricists/singers to hit the scene. One of the most powerful tracks on the album is Monsoon Come, featuring the Dublin based South American singer Ras Tinny, this song is a true representation of the Dub Dynasty sound and is sure to surface as a single. Dub Dynasty is pleased to introduce these exciting new talents to the dub community and are certain a huge future awaits them.

Dub Judah, of Dub Jockey label fame, is one of the most respected names in UK Dub. His vocals on The Earth to It’s Original Form prove that old dub gods don’t die, they just get better and better. If you listen to dub and aren’t in awe of the name Linval Thompson, you aren’t listening hard enough. This iconic producer and singer has been making reggae since he was 20, playing with every major artist that ever passed through New York or Jamaica. A producer of over 40 albums, he is considered one of the essential contributors to reggae and its message in the 1970’s golden era. Featured here on the dub Long Time, Thompson’s vocals are as memorable as they are powerful. A taster of the full Linval Thompson release from Vibration Lab due for release next year.

Last but not least, Cian Finn contributes his unique blend of Celtic spirit and rootikal dub to 9 Years and Dub Island. Finn’s work as a member of Intinn saw the group named Best Upcoming Reggae act in the U.K and Ireland and he is renowned for his overwhelming positivity and insight into the principals of dub/reggae. Finn worked with Alpha Steppa on this year’s Moonshine Steppas release and the pair play off each other beautifully to create music that has a universal appeal and message.

The whole album is presented on limited edition 12" vinyl in a beautifully designed sleeve accompanied by a CD containing bonus mixes and dubs. This LP is powered by bass, the kind of bass that can reverberate through your whole body and lift you into another time and place.

Raw, pure and unadulterated dub.

“Global Rootical Power” – Leitores regulares saberão que somos apoiantes do produtor Alpha Steppa – e do seu projecto, com o pai e tia, aka Alpha & Omega veteranos do UK Roots n´Dub, onde se enquadra hoje em dia como um grande nome a ter em conta no mundo da cultura Soundsystem. Este trabalho conta com vozes vindas da Irelanda e Coreia onde podemos encontrar 11 faixas mais as versões dub das mesmas, ritmos “stepper” 4/4 com os tradicionais instrumentos digitais do dub e ornamentos digitais que se misturam na perfeição em qualquer set de dubstep, os tons das linhas de baixo “atingem” tanto ou mais como qualquer outro baixo wobble.

Alpha Steppa à le plaisir de vous annoncer la sortie d'un album vraiment unique et international qui ravira les amoureux de musique de toutes les générations. Alpha et Omega, de véritables icônes de la scène dub internationale se sont réunis avec leurs fils et neveux Alpha Steppa afin de former Dub Dynasty. Ce disque selon les propres mots d'Alpha Steppa, est “une exploration de la force implacable de le nature et des forces qui l'entourent et c'est ce qui nous a inspirés et unis pour créer ce disque.”

S'inspirant de ce credo, le titre Unrelenting Force reflète le pouvoir et la communauté que le dub a su maitriser. Alpha et Omega et Alpha Steppa ont fait appel aux meilleurs collaborations, Royaume Uni, Ireland, Amérique du Sud, New York, Jamaïque et Corée du Sud afin de les rejoindre et fusionner avec eux leur dub au sonorités pures et parfaites, et en faire une des sorties les plus profonde qu'il leurs ai été donné de faire.
Alpha Steppa a vécu en Asie en 2011/12 où il y a crée de nombreux morceaux. Il y a fait de solides connections notament en Corée du Sud. Pour Unrelenting Force, il a fait appel a Koonta, un des membres du groupe Coréen Rude Paper et également membre du duo reggae duo Koonta & Nuoliunce. Leurs collaborations précédentes avec Alpha Steppa en Corée ont démontré la facilité et simplicité avec laquelle les styles occidentaux et orientaux s'assemblent tout naturellement. Un des autres featuring Coréen sur cet album est le jeune prodige du melodica Smiley Song. Il est ici présent sur les morceaux Dub Dynasty et Warrior Song, Smiley nous démontre que le son roots est bel et bien vivant et se porte bien partout dans le monde. On retrouve également sur Chicken and the Cow et sur the Buffalo and Goodness le jeune chanteur N’Goni, un lyriciste hors pair. Un des morceaux les plus puissant de l'album est Monsoon Come, avec en featuring le chanteur d'amerique du sud basé à Dublin, Ras Tinny, ce morceau est un vrai tableau représentant le son de la Dub Dynasty et fera assurément un single d'exception. La Dub Dynasty est heureux de présenter tout ces nouveaux talents émergeants de la scène dub mondiale, assurée qu'un futur brillant les attend.

Dub Judah, du célèbre label Dub Jockey, est un des noms les plus respecté du milieu Dub au Royaume Uni. Sa voix sur The Earth to It’s Original Form démontre que les bons vieux dub ne meurt jamais, ils ne font que s'améliorer avec le temps. Si tu écoute du dub et que tu n'est pas en admiration face au nom Linval Thompson, c'est que tu n'en écoute pas assez. Ce producteur et chanteur est une icône du reggae depuis l'âge de 20 ans, il a joué au coté des plus grands artistes de New York à la Jamaïque. Il a produit plus de 40 albums, et est considéré comme un des contributeurs essentiel du reggae et de son message durant l'âge d'or des années 70. Il est ici en featuring sur le dub Long Time, la voix de Linval Thompson est implacable, puissante et inoubliable. C'est une réelle mise en bouche pour son album a venir l'année prochaine sur le label Vibration Lab.

Enfin, l'artiste Cian Finn apporte sa contribution et son esprit dub rootikal Celte sur 9 Years et sur Dub Island. Le travail de Finn en tant que membre du groupe Intinn leur vaut d'être nommé Meilleur Groupe Espoir Reggae de l'année au Royaume Uni et en Ireland, Finn est renommé pour sa positivité absolue et sa vision fascinante sur les principes essentiels du reggae dub. Finn a travaillé cette année avec Alpha Steppa sur la sortie de Moonshine Steppas où le duo y échange d'une façon sublime pour créer une musique qui a un charme et un message universel. L'album complet est disponible en série limitée sur vinyl 12" avec use pochette au design magnifique accompagné d'un CD avec des mixes et dub en bonus. Ce LP est surpuissant de basses, une basse qui résonne au travers du corps et t'élève vers d'autres dimensions.

Un dub naturel, pure et surpuissant.

ダブ／ニュールーツ界の伝説的アイコン、Alpha & Omega, その二人の息子と甥にあたるAlpha Steppa、ニュールーツ創世記のレジェンドとその遺伝子を受け継いだ新世代を代表するプロデューサーが今回タッグを組みDub Dynastyというユニット名で大注目のアルバムをリリース！Alpha Steppas曰く「人間を超えた力、うごめき続ける自然の力がDub Dynastyにこの作品を作る力をくれた」タイトルである「unrelating force」はダブという音楽が伝えてきたパワーとコミュニティーを真に反映している。Alpha and OmegaとAlpha Steppaは客演者としてUK、アイルランド、南米、ニューヨーク、ジャマイカと韓国からのトップアーティストと組み、彼らのピュアで完成されたダブをこの最もディープで危険なダブレコードのリリースに組み込んでいる。
Alpha Steppaは２０１１年から１２年までアジアを音楽制作の拠点とし、特に韓国でのレゲエ界から高い評価を受け、このアルバムには彼が在韓中にリンクしたレゲエデュオKoonta & NuoliunceとRude PaperのメンバーであるKoontaが参加している。Alpha SteppaとKoontaの前作は西洋的なスムースさと東洋的なEaseの融合に成功している。もう一人韓国から参加しているSmiley Songはメロディカの天才プレイヤーとして有名でWarrior Songに客演しておりルーツミュージックが全世界で進化し続けている事を証明している。”Chicken and Cow and the Buffalo"と”Goodness"に参加しているN'goniはミステリアスで刺激的な声を持つシンガーでこれからルーツシーンに衝撃を与えるであろう大注目のニューカマーだ。アルバム内で最もキラーなMonsoon Comeには南アフリカ出身、ダブリン在住のRas TinnyをフューチャーしておりこのMonsoon CafeこそがDub Dynastyサウンドを代表するキラーチューンでありシングルカットされる予定だ。このアルバムは彼ら新しい才能に取って絶好の舞台でありダブ界で待っている輝く将来にふさわしい機会でもある。
レーベルDub Jockeyを率いてきたDub JudahはUK Dub界で最もリスペクトされているアーティストであり、彼がボーカリストとして参加したThe Earth to It’s Original Formでの存在感はDub界の生きる伝説は衰える事なく進化し続けている事を証明している。
Linval Thompson,もしレゲエが好きでLinval Thompsonをリスペクトしてないならもう一度レゲエを勉強し直したほうがいい。名シンガーで名プロデューサーでもあった彼は２０歳の時デビューし、今は他界した多くの伝説的アーティストとも数えきれない名曲を残しており、特に黄金期の７０年代にはレゲエの発展に大貢献した偉人である。そのLinvalが客演したDub Long Time,彼のヴォーカルは健在、来年リリースされるVibration Labとのフルアルバムも要注目。
最後に紹介したいのがCian Finn、ルーツレゲエとケルト族のスピリットを併せ持った天才シンガーは9 yearsとDub Islandにクレジットされている。彼はUKとアイルランドで近年飛ぶ鳥を落とす勢いのレゲエバンドIntinnのMCでありダブ/レゲエへの深い理解とポジティブさを掛け持ったシンガーである。Finnは今年Moonshine SteppasからのリリースでAlpha Steppaと競演しており、Alpha Steppasの楽曲とCiann Finnのメッセージが融合した最高のコラボレーションを残した。
アルバムは限定のアナログと、ボーナストラックとしてダブテイクが入ったCDがリリースされる。腹をえぐるようなベースラインが精神を別次元へ飛ばすローでピュアかつキラーな１００％ダブアルバムだ
