Dub of The Rocksteady Conspiracy's cover "Better Must Come."

The Rocksteady Conspiracy & Jim the Boss - Better Must Come Dub

New from Boom One Records and Hoboken Hi-Fi, Jim the Boss brings you his "Hudson Soul" sound that has made some waves in the reggae community.  Through the use of his hand designed and built electronics, and his seasoned studio band, some have said it reminds them of Channel One in the 1970s. This new album is a compilation of past productions at Hoboken Hi-Fi and new riddims with new voices.  Kiwi's Cure from their single Cure/Calico on Victor Rice's Total Running Time label gets Jim's dub treatment as "Spectro-Chrome."  Veteran dancehall singer Ptah Kruud from True Persuaders sings about the woman he loves on "In My Soul."  Victor Rice lends one of his most popular riddims "Type A" to Jim for this record, which also features a performance by Slackers co-founder David Hillyard.  We also would like to introduce a fresh new singer hailing from California, Jah Adam, who is featured prominently on this release. 

All of this albums proceeds are being donated by Boom One Records, Hoboken Hi-Fi and the album's guests to a fellow reggae musician that has been recently diagnosed with ALS. 

Jim the Boss will be playing live this summer doing analog dub on stage with fellow Boom One Records artist B. Davis to promote and raise money for the cause. Jim will also be stopping by Mush 1s Tunnel One radio program, Grace of Spades Watch This Sound, Nateness Monster's Go Feet Radio and many more.

Alex Tea - Country Living

Alex Tea has stepped out from his reggae collectives Kiwi and Sananga to debut his first solo single, “On a Ride.” A sequence of dream-like visions set to a Caribbean rhythm, “On a Ride” evokes a beach just after sunset when the light starts to fade, thoughts turn to memories, and the possibilities of night seem infinite. “She speaks to me across the ocean,” Tea gently croons, “and slumbers in the warm embrace of my place in her bed.” The single’s companion track, “Country Living,” is an idyllic pastoral straight from the heart of the city.

As in his work with Kiwi, Sananga, and Orquestra Raiz, Tea continues to seamlessly blend classic American, Caribbean, and Brazilian styles and influences. Though this is his first solo release, Tea has maintained a collaborative, community-minded production style: both “On a Ride” and “Country Living” feature guest contributions from some of Tea’s favorite singers and instrumentalists in the NYC jazz and soul scene.

Mixed by Victor Rice (Skatalites, Dub Side of the Moon, Radiodread) at Studio Copan in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Mastered by Jocko (John Brown’s Body, Turzkuaz) at MoreSound in Syracuse, New York.
Recorded by Jim the Boss at Hoboken HiFi, and Pine Street Music in Jersey City.
