CoRTy meets Clinton Fearon

Brain Damage meets Vibronics
"Empire soldiers"

Vibronics & Brain Damage teamed up and decided to come together around a concept, a narrative inspiration that will undoubtedly surprise: Anglo-Caribbean and Franco-African soldiers’ experience during the first world war. 
The academic historian, poet & songwriter, Madu Messenger, uses the product of years of study and research, to develop, within that very framework, a series of texts on some key topics such as travel, friendship, war and death. This project thus aims at offering a learning experience about this often little-known period of our history. 
It will draw troubling parallels with some more contemporary considerations on culture shocks, immigration, imperial powers and horrors of war that still affects all of us today. Following their reflection on this sensitive issue, the musicians of the project’s – all of many other origins, Anglo-French, Jamaican or Asian – move towards a cultural alignment, opposite to certain enslaving and communitarian models.


DO U REMEMBER ? w/ SIR JEAN


Ah Me seh One, World War One
Two, World War Two
Do U remeber those African soldiers
Who died for your Freedom

Why, why ô why
A me seh why, why ô why
You never mention those African soldiers
Who died for your Freedom

Cuz when U big up de fallen soldiers
U nah name dem at all
Me check out your walls and monuments
Me nah see dem at all
Memorial days a come and U nah call dem at all
Me check out your books of history
We nah see dem at all
It is a shame
U don't remember dem
Dem have given dem youth and dem lives
Just for your Freedom
I come to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
Their grand sons come to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
Their African grand sons come to call their names
And put a little light pon dem
Lord of mercy
And put a little light pon dem

CHORUS

Baionets, Fixed !
B company, Fire !
African soldiers on the wire
They were Senegalese, Marocans, or Algerians
They were young, beautiful
And full of strength
They were lions trodding on da battlefield
Now they're lying in complete oblivion
Do U ever, ever remember dem ?
Their grand sons come to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
And put a little light pon dem

CHORUS

They were fighting with glory
Forgotten at da moment of victory
Ô U used dem as manpower
African warriors
Courageous soldiers
African fighters on da frontline
But inna ya books dem nah have a single line
So we come fe mek de glory shine
Me seh de medal of merit haffi shine

CHORUS

The seventh full-length release on Unit 137 is the second from resident producer Sleepy Time Ghost, who created a major wave with his debut ‘Youthman Riddim’ last year; an assured roots reggae track which brought together long-respected and brand new UK sound-system MCs, Ras Demo (a.k.a Demolition Man) and Lionpulse Sound's Live n Direk, as well as instrumentalists from the 137 camp.

Forward to his latest opus, the Ghost Train Riddim. Joining Jamaican & UK vocal talents with Unit 137 residents, Sleepy drops a 12” which doesn’t easily fit into the brackets of roots, reggae or dub: Throughout, the production fuses live instrumentation with crisp digital production, in Sleepy's inimitable style, which he is becoming notorious for. It's a great example of the Sound System Music driving the current 'New Wave' of UK Sound System Culture. While paying tribute to the foundations, this cut is a surefire dancehall killer and a bridge between the old and the new.

On vocals, legendary reggae sing-jay Macka B is joined by rising star Zico, who has been steadily turning heads over the past five years through his works with the London/Bristol based reggae outfit onlyjoe. Their combination ‘Meditation’ defines the release as a merging of styles, which takes the listener on a journey from the roots of reggae and dancehall through to the modern sounds of UK Steppas. Meanwhile, the second track features veteran Jamaican singer Mikey General on the riddim with his contribution, ‘Jah Can Read Your Thoughts.’ His track fuses a powerful vocal message of Rastafari with the riddim track which, on this version, breaks into a tough dancehall section; again bridging styles and pushing the vocalist in new directions.

The remix in the package comes from Hylu & Jago. This duo have created quite a stir through their previous releases on Unit 137, and they're now regularly sought after by other labels for remixes and, increasingly, originals. Their interpretation is a dark take on modern electronic dancehall, which moves Sleepy’s original riddim track in new directions. Snippets from each vocal track are fused together to bring about something entirely different from the original, focused towards the dancehall, and designed to be played on a big stack, with plenty of super scoops for bass. Sleepy's instrumental rounds off the release, and leaves room for the Ghost Train Riddim to be ridden by other vocalists or instrumentalists, on sound systems all over the globe...

The new dub Album from Ariwa/Mad Professor is celebrating the African/Caribbean folk hero Anansi.

Anansi is one of the few things that survived the Atlantic Crossing, and the transition  from free African citizens, to exiles in the western world.
Despite a situation where it was forbidden to speak in their native tongues, Anansi and the dubby, percussive African melodies, survived.

This album is available on Vinyl, CD, and Digital.
