Cool Up Records presents their new 12" vinyl album: Retro Game Series. A project consisting of two songs and their respective dub versions. The two singles have been inspired by the classic video games "Castlevania" and "Street Fighter" respectively. Retro Game Series is a tribute to the classic videogames we grew up with and is the first release of a collection with several episodes. In which the digital Reggae, the 8bit sounds and the soundtracks of the best games, will make us travel back to our childhood with a fresh and powerful sound.

This project has been envisioned by Mr John Vanilla, who in addition to creating the covers and animated videos, is also presented to the public with his facet as a "deejay" or "toaster". Under the name of Jay Smilee. He wanted to take the opportunity to invite different singers who usually work with Cool Up Records.

In Vampire Killah, he has collaborated with the singer Colonel Brown. Who participates in the chorus with his peculiar falsetto voice. You can get this song on vinyl with his "dub version" on the A side. And on the B-side, a version with the German artist Longfingah, a specialist of Rub a Dub and Raggamuffin. Between the two of them, they have created a song called Jahdouken, a play on words with the famous "Hadouken" term from the video game Street Fighter.
