Shere Khan - LIFE FM - 30/3/2021

Bass Culture Players ft. Prento - No Time

Back-A-Yard label, settled in Madrid (Spain), proudly releases a new single, after We are a Crowd (November 2013). This new work called No Time claims about adversity and insecurity, in a righteous and sober mood.

Puppashan´s production recreates a narrow space built by self consciousness. Bright sintes arise from its clear atmosphere, which becomes the perfect mean to connect with the lyrics and vocals from the debutant Prento.

Nevertheless, it´s difficult to elude the collective perspective that No Time brings. Line by line, the message contained in the lyrics flows inside out.

Bass Culture Players display their accuracy and capacity in generating several and different textures. Puppashan mixes the dub version too, in a completely instrumental track which manages to dig deeply in the message without using the vocals. As a result, this is a brilliant revival of the digital sound from the 80´s.

In short, Back-A-Yard and Disco Inferno appear for the first time this year taking a right step. Sometimes a negation brings us the right way.

Tracks:
Prento - No Time
Bass Culture Players - No Time Version

Mixed by Puppashan @ Discoinferno, Madrid.
Mastered by Oscar Pablos "Ojah" @ Rollover Studios, London, Uk.
Produced by Puppashan, Madrid 2014.

Tous les mois, Musical Echoes vous propose deux sélections 100% vinyles : l’une roots/digital et l’autre reggae/dub/stepper, plus actuelle. Ce mois-ci, c’est Jesus Dread qui assure le mix roots !
En 2010, Samson rencontre Pierre dans son resto jamaïcain à Paris. À l’époque, ils assistent Jumbo Rock Sound dans l'organisation de ses soirées. Très vite ils décident de monter leur propre sound pour partager leur passion pour le revival. Privilégiant la qualité sur la quantité, ils invitent plusieurs fois des vétérans de la scène UK et plus récemment organisent les soirées Dub Power conviant des sounds systems de la région parisienne. Pour cette sélection exclusive, ce sont 34 pépites brutes qui sont passées en revue, toutes en 45 Tours. La quintessence même du reggae roots ! Run it !
