summer 2025

Track-list:
A. JahYu Ft. Baptiste - Great Confusion
AA. Bukkha - Tidal

Tripedal Crow Records' prolific 2021 release schedule in full effect! The second instalment of the 'Rootplate' catalogue series welcomes two talented additions to the label discography alongside the label head himself: Dub and Dubstep producer champion Bukkha and lauded vocalist Baptiste, best known from the Moonshine Recordings sphere.

This triumvirate of thoroughly skilled artists meets on a limited 10" vinyl lathe cut edition (60 pcs.) courtesy of Pressure Mastering, hand-stamped by JahYu – and will also be available in the digital format. Conscious music for troubling times, ready to uplift spirits and induce the kind of healing low-frequency meditation we've all come to know and love. Authentic Reggae & Dub influences meet at the forefront of the 21st century, sure to be felt as much as heard.

Following up on recent collaborations with the likes of veteran Radikal Guru, Baptiste now teams up to provide words, sound and power alongside JahYu's mighty instrumental in 'Great Confusion' - an ode to the tough times we're seeing unfold before our very eyes. Classic instrumentation embedded on layers of delays, spring reverbs and authentically bubbling skanks - more love, more unity! Fuelled by Eastern sound inclinations and powerful lyrical wisdom, the ensuing sound presents itself as a future classic by any standard - yearning to roar on a full-stack sound system near you.

Meeting Bukkha's instrumental stepper on the B-Side, 'Tidal' doesn't mess around in the slightest as it's super-charged attitude leaves neither stone nor amplifier headroom unturned. Militant skanks meet murderous bassline excursions in a potent combination, everything to love about the artist's signature style.

Two perfectly matched cuts, ready and primed for the dance: A testament to the artists as well as Tripedal Crow Records, make sure to secure yourself a copy sooner rather than later as this 2nd instalment of the 'ROOT' lathe-cut series is sure to fly off the shelves.

ZONGO SOUND - CINCINATUS (FORWARD VIBEZ VERSION)

Aloka - Cicada

Featuring two tracks with a roots and dub flex from us at Firmly Rooted, showcasing the diversity in our sound but keeping things strictly soundsystem. The third release in our 7" series written and produced by Joe Rooney, live in the heart of Bristol. This release speaks of letting love lead the way, in tough times and good if we let love shine through it will always guide us in hard times!!

B side is a classic dub instrumental version of this instant vocal classic, this record is built for the dances so that other Mc's and lyrical chanters can take the reigns and lace up the riddim track for a one off live version. This dub really shows the tight production style of joe and his approach to roots music....... Stay Rooted

The FKOF review:
“With the original, Alpha Steppa had created a truly magical dubwise experience. This dub mix steps steadily towards unity, with Kiangana's beautiful vocals illuminating the rooted vibrations that float freely inside the psychoactive stereo image. Everything inside sounds miraculously peaceful and spacious - this jam resembles a pure journey through the original dub sound. From the irie bass weight, the immense reverberation and delay times to excellent filter work, all is glued together effortlessly for our little FKOF exclusive – enjoy this amazing free download from the one and only Alpha Steppa. Jah live!”
