Description: Bastard Jazz organized this remix by the fabulous Grant Phabao for a 7" released on their Brooklyn label.

OUT OCT 14th, vinyl and digital at www.wahwah45s.com and all good stores. "Just in time for Halloween, Wah Wah 45s unleash a splendidly spooky seven incher from Brighton’s very own Lee “Scratch” Perry, the one and only Richie Phoe. His take on the Jacko classic is a brutally bass worrying dance floor dub delight, complete with sinister sound effects and cackles galore! On the flip, Richie gives Leon Haywood’s much sampled classic, “I Want’a Do Something Freaky To You” the deathly dub treatment too – look out for those petrifying piano licks!�"

Captain Planet feat. Chico Mann - Un Poquito Mas

Happy Halloween!  On "Black Ark Vampires" Lee "Scratch" Perry & Subatomic Sound System have crafted a throbbing sound-man tune propelled by subsonic bass, bubbling skanks, and pulsing beats that balance the murky and mystical vibes of Perry’s classic Jamaican dub reggae recordings with the flammable energy and bass vibrations of current electronic music, fine tuning a recipe that they have slow cooked throughout their last four years of U.S. tours spreading authentic dub to a new generation in places like Coachella, Dub Champions Festival, and Red Bull Music Academy. Lyrically the track features Perry’s most focused lyrics in a decade, a poignant oath of vengeance against the vampires that corrupted the ark of the covenant and forced him to burn down his famed Black Ark studio, told in comical rhymes that echo the cadence of a Dr. Seuss story coupled with the morbidity of Edgar Allan Poe, promising the details of where, when, and how he will kill these vampires, from Kingston to London to New York City and everywhere; vampires beware; he will kill them with his hair, with fire, with electric wire, and even with roast corn. Melodically the tune packs soaring vampire hooks, spiritual vocal choirs, groaning melodica bursts, and even a few lines from dancehall vocalist Jahdan Blakkamoore, produced and recorded by Emch at his Subatomic Sound laboratory in NYC. Scratch’s vocals were recorded in Brooklyn at the Hook Studio after an NYC performance with the production assistance of On-U Sound’s legendary Adrian Sherwood, producer of some of Perry’s finest post-Jamaica recordings. The session was filmed by a Dubspot video crew after a long drive through NYC during which Perry recounted the better part of his life story as a warm up for the session.

At the age of 78, Lee "Scratch" Perry has built a life based as much on his fame as a reggae and dub inventor who exhibited boundless creativity and innovation in music composition and production, as he has on his reputation as a madman with playful wit, a propensity for lighting things on fire, a natural mystical spirituality that he famously introduced to Bob Marley, and his defiant individuality and commitment to personal freedom. "Black Ark Vampires" brilliantly ties together these divergent characteristics to create classic Lee "Scratch" Perry material on all levels.

Perry loves to dance and loves dancehall. His nickname actually comes from the name of dance he invented called Chicken Scratch. During his tours with Subatomic Sound System, Scratch had a voracious appetite for hearing new sounds and was interested in the "Vampires & Informers" dubstep track Subatomic Sound System had produced for dancehall vocalist Elephant Man. Perry began performing on the riddim live which led to developing the lyrics for Black Ark Vampires and Subatomic developing a riddim for Perry that captured his vibes. Though Perry is known for seldom giving straight answers and many have wondered if he really burned down the Black Ark studio, Emch from Subatomic Sound System says that one night after performing a show in California, he and percussionist Larry McDonald, a Black Ark studio veteran, were talking backstage when Scratch told them the reasons for his own longevity: "Stress will kill you. That’s why I had to burn down the Black Ark." He said the popularity of the studio had attracted the vampires who came to suck him dry and corrupted the magic of Black Ark, but rather than let that slowly destroy him like a cancer, he chose to close the book on that chapter of his life and move on by torching the studio and making an exodus to the UK leaving the vampires with nothing but the ashes.

THE ARTISTS: Grammy winning reggae and dub inventor Lee "Scratch" Perry is a living legend, one of Jamaica’s most prolific producers and a true original with a spirit that has defined and influenced countless artists across genres and generation, decades of great Jamaican artists from Bob Marley to Max Romeo, punk rockers The Clash, The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, The Orb, The Beastie Boys, Paul McCartney, Kode9, and the list goes on. At 78 he continues to tour, record, and paint incessantly.

Spearhead by producer, DJ, and instrumentalist Emch, NYC’s Subatomic Sound System is leading a dub music renaissance, founders of the US & Europe Dub Champions Festival, 4 years acting as the live band for legend Lee "Scratch" Perry on tours including Coachella & Red Bull Music Academy; plus independently touring North America, Europe, and Asia, and for a decade producing flavors ranging from classic dub to dubstep.

THE SUBATOMIC SOUND LABEL: Subatomic Sound specializes in limited edition exclusive vinyl releases that push the envelope of dub, reggae, & dancehall in the context of electronic bass music through forward sounding productions and unlikely collaborations with icons such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, David Lynch, Anthony B, Elephant Man, Ari Up of The Slits, as well as new school torchbearers like Dubblestandart, Jahdan Blakkamoore, Dub Gabriel, and many more. Subatomic Sound actively produces events and founded the annual Dub Champions Festival running 4 years in the USA and Europe. Subatomic Sound Radio airs on Brooklyn Radio and for three years ran on KEXP’s Radio New York, 91.5FM broadcast which transmitted to a footprint of 11 million listeners.  (12j52 48 24)

This live DJ mix is called “Spirit of Dub”, it's something I did for Dommune in Tokyo about a month ago while I was in Japan. This particular piece could have just as easily been titled “Connect The Dots”, as it goes the gamut from vintage Reggae Dub to Dance Hall, some Digidub then turns into mad Jungle beats , Drum&Bass and of course a good dose of some of my current trippy Dubstep faves. In my mind at least, it really helps bring a certain vibe into focus, not that I made any attempts to pick super-obscure choons that only trainspotters would know. Rather it was more about feeling that energy when all of these different tracks - many of my faves -  get mixed together live as they are here. 

There is no question that ‘bass culture’ has always had a profound influence on my approach to sound. But especially as of late, and in the context of Deep Space’s dubby agenda it’s become apparent that beyond fleeting trends I remain utterly attracted by this energy, completely drawn and fascinated by what it represents. 

For whatever reason I have recently been getting back to lots of Junglist tunes, probably due to how timely I felt the “Special Request” album was when it came out a year ago, and how it managed to reawaken this fascination with all of the futuristic mad drum programming some of these records were famous for.

Listening back to the mix, I can’t help but get the sense that a lot of what attracts me in all of this is that it feels as if it has such a direct connection to a strong Sci-Fi and Cyberpunk aesthetic, including a rather rebellious ‘take-no-prisoners’ attitude which is quite endearing and allows the listener to get ‘lost in the bass’. 

 In the end, it’s really all about how you feel when you play the stuff, and this one left no doubt in my mind. It also felt like a perfect way to conclude an amazing year, and set the stage for what’s to come in the next one in a way some might not expect in the least.

Dance music's highest flying duo Solardo are back and they've served up another thick slice of tech house. 

Big bass, rolling drops and enough flare to rile up any terrace in the world. 

The boys can seemingly do no wrong at the moment and their hot streak doesn't seem like it's slowing down anytime soon.

Are you ready to 'Be Somebody'
