2016 UK, Australia & New Zealand Tour. More info and tickets at www.casttour.com

In 2012 Cast reunited with original producer John Leckie (Stone Roses, Radiohead, The Fall) to release a new album ‘Troubled Times’ the first studio album in over ten years, the fifth following the now classic 'All Change', the fastest ever selling debut album on Polydor Records at the time, outstripping even The Who. 

After releasing four albums on Polydor the essence of Cast never laid idle. John Power released 3 solo albums, made a theatrical debut as John Lennon in a stage production of 'Lennon' and featured on the UK Christmas Number 1 'He's My Brother' with The Justice Collective, seeking justice for the 96 people that died at a football match in 1989. The complete studio recordings of John Power 2002-2015 boxset was released in May 2015.

When not playing with Cast lead guitarist Skin has been recording albums and touring the world with Robert Plant (Zed Zeppelin) and released an album as 'Men From Mars'. Drummer Keith O'Neil is always on the road as a tour manager for major UK acts (and also drummed with Kealer, check those records out). Bassist Pete Wilkinson has released two solo albums as Aviator on Viper Records and is working on a third while also touring and recording with Mick Head (Shack) 

Noel Gallagher described seeing Cast live as like a religious experience. There is still nothing in this world to suggest that he was wrong about that.

NYC-2-AFRICA riddim dropping digitally this Tues, Nov.9: a Subatomic Sound (NYC) production in collaboration with African hip hop label Nomadic Wax and Peoples Records (Kingston, JA).

Check out this intense video of the recording and explosive political events surrounding the creation of the Anthony B track "Dem Can't Stop We From Talk" in Jamaica: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8pPQxwiv44

SUBATOMIC SOUND presents 
”NYC-2-AFRICA”
SUBATOMIC SOUND SYSTEM &amp; NOMADIC WAX  
FEATURING ANTHONY B (JAMAICA), JAHDAN BLAKKAMOORE (NYC), &amp; BAJAH of DRY EYE CREW (SIERRA LEONE, AFRICA)


Striking right to the core of our very existence: Survival, corrupt politics, preserving authentic culture, and the destruction of our environment are the topics of the three heart wrenching vocals delivered straight from the souls of Anthony B, Jahdan, &amp; Bajah on this crucial release.

Do you know about the new subway line connecting NYC, Jamaica, and Africa? No? It may not exist yet, but thanks to producers Emch (Subatomic Sound System) &amp; Benny Beats (Nomadic Wax), this vision already has a soundtrack: The NYC-2-Africa EP was recorded in New York City; Kingston, Jamaica; and Dakar, Senegal, using a single original riddim to trace the diaspora back through history from hip hop’s inception on NYC’s gritty streets to its Jamaican dancehall reggae roots, and from the Jamaican dancehall to its foundation in African rhythms—represented here by a battery of Senegalese sabar drums. 

The politics, culture, and environmental awareness fundamental to this musical history are represented vocally by three artists crucial to the diaspora, each delivering what people are calling some of their all time best performances: Jamaican culture dancehall superstar Anthony B; NYC’s reggae/electronic/hip hop firebrand Jahdan Blakkamoore, of Smif ‘n Wesson “Soundbwoy Burial” fame &amp; winner of iTunes 2009 reggae album of the year; and Sierra Leone, Africa’s #1 rapper and bonafide musical hero, Bajah of the Dry Eye Crew.  The combination of this music and history is explosive.

Anthony B's politically charged anthem is particularly riveting because it called out JA's Prime Minister Bruce Golding at the time he was struggling with civil war surrounding the United States-requested extradition of "Dudus," a don from the Tivoli Gardens garrison district of Kingston and a leader of the Prime Ministers main constituency—an obvious point of hypocrisy.  Anthony B recorded his vocals in Kingston in April 2010, as the the city broke out in riots capped off by the Tivoli Gardens extradition raid.  Tensions were further heightened by a drought that led to water supplies to many of Kingston’s residents being cut off for days at a time.  When Anthony first heard the African drums, his eyes lit up and he and his crew began a classic African call and response chant to the beat. After listening to the riddim over and over on repeat, he demanded to go straight into the studio and, without a word written, delivered a blistering performance, waiving his lighter and literally jumping off the walls of the vocal booth while singing like a man possessed by inspiration.

To make this dream a reality required a truly international collaboration, spearheaded by NYC label Subatomic Sound, a cornerstone of current dub and bass culture, in conjunction with African hip hop label and documentary film makers Nomadic Wax out of Brooklyn (producers of the controversial film “Democracy in Dakar”) and also longtime roots and dancehall foundation label, Peoples Records from Kingston, JA.

This digital release features political, cultural and environmentally charged vocal versions by Anthony B (Jamaica), Jahdan Blakkamoore (NYC/Guyana), Bajah (Sierra Leone), plus the dubbed up instrumental, and a combination medley of the versions (for DJs).


Anthony's track is slated for  7" release by People's Records in JA with worldwide distro followed by a 12" on Subatomic Sound focused on Anthony B's tune which will include this riddim, a harder beat called "Urban Warfare" (that Paul Zasky and Emch produced) and mixes by several other of our favorite producers.
