Ongoing Vibes 77

Artists: Courtney John & Ticklah
Title: Born To Fly
Label: Liondub45
Catalog #: LNDB45-004
Format: 7" Vinyl & Digital
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

The summer of 2011 welcomed the self-titled debut album from Hollie Cook. Hollie’s self-coined ‘Tropical pop’ sound stems from her passion for reggae singers Janet Kay and Phyllis Dillon combined with classic 60s girl groups. The album is produced by friend and collaborator Mike Pelanconi, better known as Prince Fatty. The debut single ‘That Very Night’ is currently making waves across radio, with Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio 2/6 Music), John Kennedy (XFM) and David Rodigan (Kiss) among her many supporters.  The album includes a cover of Shangri-Las’ ‘(Remember) Walkin’ In The Sand)’; transformed from a dark emotive song to one filled with a flavour of hope. The talents of Omar, Dennis Bovell, George Decker (The Pioneers), Style Scott and Horseman also feature across the album.

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

We have another great Rooftop Jam Session for you today💖

In May 2024, the Rooftop Live Jam took place at Amanitalinda's house. There was a live didgeridoo performance on the rooftop.
Our Child of Nature backing track served as the basis.

In October 2025, Jörg and Morten revisited this idea and expanded Amanitalinda's live performance with bass and tenor saxophones, resulting in this stunning remix.

Linda's didgeridoo and Jörg's tenor sax alternate in playing the role of the main instrument. Which feel wonderfully integrated into the overall character of the song.
It feels like we're a smart little band that can coordinate well with each other. This is a unique interval that resonates body and soul.
Please listen and give us feedback!

Please note: This special cover symbolizes Amanitalinda's enormous musical versatility and transformability.



Live recording video. 
Recorded in the east part of central Slovakia.
Home Sweet Home ✨💖✨

Let the dream go on✨ 💫 🌟
🙏🐉🦋
