After the success of his previous LP Singasong, Taggy Matcher returns with 8 tracks exploring his wide range of Reggae & Dub influences, each time magnified by a fine crew of vocal guests as LMK, Birdy Nixon, Alexandra Charry, Hawa, John Milk & Elodie Rama. With a great sense of authenticity, they all bring their own touch to Taggy Matcher's compositions and covers. Always faithful to its inspirations, brilliantly produced, Push Push is your new invitation to follow the Lion to Zion.

The album starts with "Push Push", a title already released last year as a vinyl single 7", in collaboration with rising singer LMK, who you may know from her successful previous reworks on Taggy's last album ("No Love Allowed", "My Man"). Sharing the same love for the early 80's Digital Rub A Rub productions, lyrics are about street harassment of women… with a pinch of humor!
On "Little Things", Taggy invites old mate Birdy Nixon for a cover of an early rocksteady classic by Hemsley Morris. With the vintage bounce we love combined with modern sounds and productions, the song is all about tenderness and simplicity.
"Volvere Mañana", the song has this very cumbia hip move with the participation of gifted singer Alexandra Charry from Cali in Colombia, where they both composed the song. Then, Taggy invited Boris Pokora to play the "gaita" local flute to give the song its proper Colombian Caribbean coast flavor.
The album continues with "Two Dimes" featuring longtime collaborator Hawa (from Mr President to Mr Day and other numerous projects). This shaky disco reggae rockers is all about getting ready for the party… but with two dimes only!
"Q Fashion" is a song full of wittiness and self-mockery wrote during the first Covid-19 lockdown. Parisian Soul singer John Milk was stuck in Paris while Bruno was in Lyon. On this minimalistic digital reggae tune, they give the ingredients to perfect your next quarantine outfit.
Discoish reggae tune "Get Enough" featuring Birdy Nixon has a simple and successful recipe: just mix a big dose of Lovers with the same amount of Rockers and you've got this 100% soulful song.
On "Suit and Tie", Taggy and John Milk go Pop with this version of Justin Timberlake, which fits perfectly with John's tender and mellow style.
Finally, Elodie Rama with Taggy Matcher pay tribute to Erykah Badu and her legacy to the Soul music scene at the end of the nineties. The mood is jazzy, mellow and warm, with a tiny Lee Scratch Perry early 70's vaporous vibes.

Bad bad news
Here comes old
Bad news
Bad bad news himself
Hate to be bearer of
Bad bad news

Hate to be the bearer of bad news
Your resume was barely viewed
Your album got no views
And bad reviews
Fair dos
melodic airs were misconstrued
Jeered and booed
Critics severely rude
Clearly crude
Teary eyed and bruised
Sinking ship cruised
The path you choose
Is fraught with shattered blues
Scattered clues
Of a battered muse
Old worn out shoes
No light blown out fuse
Guess I get what's due
Don't wake slept on through
Don't wait must be true
Must be me, can't be you
Trust in fate just make do
Frail ends meet in two
Heart bleating rams and ewes
Beating tam tams in zoos
Hypnotised méduse
Do more faire plus
Chipped electronic puce
Guns down make a truce
No lies tell the truth
Crooked smile crooked tooth
Getting used to the youth
So uncouth they need proof

Here comes old
Bad news
Bad bad news himself
Hate to be bearer of
Bad bad news
Here comes old
Bad news
Bad bad news himself
Hate to be bearer of
Bad bad news

No voodoo withdrew booze
Leave you in the pooh poohs
Stopped by said coucou
They don't like me beaucoup
Flying like a soucoupe
Looking for a new group
Playing out my blue roots
Baby got some new boots
Sure fire my soul shoots
The doldrums the dole troops
The ashtray the old doubts
The swag and the gold loot
A bag of black coal soot
Delivered to my car boot
Military war coup
Seem like I deja vu
Living life is ardu
Dodging bullets harpoons
Comical like cartoons
Broke I don't have la thune
But I do have lacunes
Two black eyes racoons
High tides on black moons
High fives in back rooms
Capsized the platoon
Catatonic die soon
Die hard go ba-boom
All letters spell doom
The broum broum the zoom the zoom
Fly like a witches broom
Take my pen to my tomb
Over dark skies loom

Here comes old
Bad news
Bad bad news himself
Hate to be bearer of
Bad bad news
Here comes old
Bad news
Bad bad news himself
Hate to be bearer of
Bad bad news

Greece's premier downtempo and lounge label Melting Records is branching out into like-minded genres with a new series titled MRSPECIAL. The releases in this series are indeed special, featuring a focus on a different style of music each time. This inaugural issue – Humble Dubbers – tackles the intertwining worlds old-school dub, roots, and reggae steppers, as seen through the Melting Records looking glass. Veteran dubwise producers and irie new names rub shoulders on the compilation's ten tracks, coming together to give the listener a mind-expanding journey along a space-echoed pathway.

Included, for the first time on vinyl, is "Nine Years" from Ticklah, a renowned producer who worked on Easy Star All-Stars' classic The Dub Side of the Moon. Easy Star All-Stars are also represented by bassist Victor Rice, contributing with a heavy dub track. Canada's Dubmatix took some time out from his packed touring and production schedule to deliver an exclusive rolling and blunted-out track for the compilation. And longtime German dub stalwart Burnt Friedman along with The Nu Dub Players provides a sparse and dreamy offering track that opens the collection with style.

Other artists featured on Humble Dubbers are Kabanjak (one half of Ancient Astronauts), YesKing (BBE Records), Shimi Sonic from Israel, Skinshape from Horus Records, Lo End Dub from Spain, Colman Brothers from UK, and up-and-comers Resonators (Wah Wah 45s). With this variety of producers it is striking how cohesive Humble Dubbers remains, giving the listener a satisfying overview on the state of nu-dub. The compilation also fits mightily within Melting Records' catalog, as lounge and downtempo elements are sprinkled throughout for a distinctive take on the sound. In all, Humble Dubbers vibrates and fascinates, from its rumbling low ended basslines to the crisp sizzle of flying hi-hats. Selectah, bring the rewind!
