Release Date: December 7th, 2012
Genre: Reggae / Roots & Dub

After a year-long break, LionDub45 returns with a stellar new release from Brooklyn based producer Ticklah featuring stand-out vocals from Jamaica’s Courtney John. Both artists should need no introduction - as a founding member of the Dap Kings, Antibalas, and the Easy Star All-Stars, Victor Axelrod spreads his work across hip hop, funk, soul, and African rhythms, working with artists like Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse and Estelle, but his more rootical vibrations are saved for his Ticklah productions. Courtney John is a celebrated Jamaican vocalist who has worked extensively with Sly & Robbie on their Silent River label and the UK based Peckings camp.  Courtney's sweet falsetto style evokes the classic era of lover’s rock and early dancehall. It’s easy to hear Axelrod’s funk roots in the guitar and organ licks on the vocal version of “Born to Fly”, and the busy production is filled out by a precision guitar skank, bubbling bass, and a spare percussion palette while maintaining a vintage roots feel. Courtney chants his lover’s song high over the rest with the poetry and clarity that has earned him his fame. On the dub, a liquid bass leads the drastically reduced rhythm as expert echo treatments of the drums and pads propel the deep, heads-down groove. Ticklah and Courtney John provide two perfect sides for lovers of classic roots reggae and dub with a strictly conscious and positive message. LionDub45 is proud to bring New York and Jamaica together once again for it's fourth release.

LNDB45-004AA - TICKLAH FT. COURTNEY JOHN - BORN TO DUB

http://www.mrbongo.com/products/hollie-cook-prince-fatty-presents-hollie-cook-in-dub

The much-anticipated second album instalment from Hollie Cook.  Prince Fatty dubs her self-titled album tracks adding extra bass, delays and reverbs to Hollie’s captivating vocals. Featuring tracks such as ‘For Me You Are Dub’; a ska version of an old Andrews Sisters’ classic, ‘And The Beat Goes On’; a brand new dub cover of the The Whispers’ disco classic, ‘Walking in the Sand’; a delicious adaptation of the Shangri La’s legendary record, and ‘Baby’; a new revamp of this heavily requested anthem, in collaboration with French synth-pop outfit, ‘The Shoes’.
 
“The dub versions showcase real tape echoes, heavy spring reverbs and alternate instrumental elements such as melodica, percussion or horns that were hidden in the vocal versions. All the dubs are mixed live in my studio in the same Rub a Dub style as was made famous in 70s Jamaica by King Tubby and others, i.e not with the use of computers for automation and endless digital nonsense but with fingers, late night vibes and re-arranged with a razor blade!” Prince Fatty

Jamaica Funk

Prince Fatty and the Horseman are well known for their hip hop versions such as "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" as used in the infamous Breaking Bad series, DJ Muggs personal reggae favourite "Insane in the Membrane" and many more Raggamuffin specials.

It is well documented that the DNA of hip hop has its roots in dub and reggae from the concept of versions, sound systems, selectors and MCs and so on. New York and the East Coast has had large Jamaican community since the 60s the musical influence is similar to us here in the UK.

The Jamaica Funk club night hosted at the Fox and Firkin celebrates and high lights the musical journey as Reggae inspired Hip Hop in the early 80s and how the roles changed as Hip Hop developed and went mainstream it inspired the Jamaicans in reverse. Artists such as Super Cat and Shabba Ranks confirm this on vinyl in our collections.
