Rainbow Children (Max Powa Remix)

Think Me Did Gone (Cubiculo Records)

Solid Rock is an instrumental rockers reggae tune, inspired by the sound of the early 80s. The bass and drum driven track is produced on tape and features a heavy rhythm track that peaks with a soulful saxophone solo and a blazing horns theme. The overall vibe of the track is hard hitting, meditative and serious. It's also a first single from forthcoming second album from Danish collective due t come on 5th of May.

Critical Hi-Fi Feat Daddy Freddy  - Dem Only Know

Taken from Stalawa in East Africa out 13/04/2019 for Record Store Day 2019 on vinyl.
Support your local record store.

Reggae's African connection meets the global ethos of Glasgow's Scotch Bonnet Records for their historic new EP. French-born, Glasgow-based producer Stalawa has voiced a talented selection of East African vocalists to thrilling effect, over his heftiest roots rub-a-dub rhythms. This project is the culmination of multiple fruitful visits to Kenya and Uganda by Scotch Bonnet proprietors, Mungo’s Hi Fi sound system. It has been fine-tuned between Glasgow and Kampala over the last three years.

The A side features the wailing voice of Ugandan singer and emcee Blessed San. Showcasing a vocal style not unlike legendary Jamaican reggae veteran Michael Prophet (despite never actually having heard him before), Traitor is a mournful rebuke to all who violate his trust. Stalawa has mixed a haunting accompanying dub: all crashing drums and biting horns.

The B side hosts a Kenyan-Caribbean collaboration on a vintage classic. Connoisseurs’ Jamaican singer Delroy Melody has recut his 1979 local hit Ease Up The Pressure, adding verses from Luganda Rasta lyricist C Wyne Nalukalala (meaning “the troublemaker”). The remade backing, based on Dennis Brown’s Easy Take It Easy, was built in Jamaica by renowned drummer Sly Dunbar and keyboardist Dennis ‘Jah D’ Fearon. Also on the flip is Kenya's “first lady” of hip hop and reggae Nazizi. Her song Ukiangalia (“when you see” in Swahili) rides a dubby update of King Tubby’s famous Tempo rhythm.
All vocals bar Mr Melody’s were recorded in Kampala, Uganda by David Cecil and Wana Benjamin of East Africa Records, with brass parts dubbed by Stalawa in Glasgow. The guitar on Traitor is the work of popular Scottish vocalist Tom Spirals. Hornplay comes courtesy of Tim Quicke, Liam Shorthall and Matieusz Sobieski.

BLOW YOUR MIND ROCKSTONE DUB CHALICE EDIT

A year or two ago our friend Ista came round my dodgy flat in Edinburgh to hang out and maybe record some vocals. We were having a really nice chill and he was telling me about his life and i had this beat of mine playing, and it sounded kinda nice so i sort of hit record and he kinda just kept telling his story but in a more musical freestyle way, and so this is the rough dubplate that came from it. He's such a cool guy with positive vibes and i just like listening to him talk
