Cat.No: SF029
Release date: 22.01.2016

Last Tune is the first single from the forthcoming Dreadsquad album with Blackout JA - ‘World Destruction’. The track started life in San Francisco as a collaboration with Kush Arora then later Bristolian brass section Smerins Anti-Social Club added the next layer and finally Blackout came with the finishing move. Last Tune was ready to finish the dance.

This is Heavy UK Steppers style - designed for take the remaining crowd in the dance all the way through to when the lights go up. This is raw energy through and through and as Blackout shouts to the people to get even more energy it perfectly illustrates the relationship between the party and the selector.

Trigram: ☴
Artist(s): JahYu / Alpha Steppa
Title: To The End Of The Earth And Sea / Ancestral Memory
Cat: Trigram05
Label: Trigram
Format: 10" Vinyl (400 Copies Ltd. Ed.)/ Digital
Release Date: Spring 2016
Origin: Hamburg / Seoul / London

Press-release:

Number five of eight in the Trigram series. Raw, unadulterated tribal bass music with a deep roots foundation. This is the sound of Trigram.

JahYu: the Korean word for ‘freedom’, this is an artist whose music is rooted in the notion of freedom, freedom of sound, freedom of expression, freedom from mind and freedom of the soul. JahYu uses his creative freedom to connect with his ancestors and create music that somehow transports the listener through time and space. Oriental flute and string melodies slide effortlessly amongst powerful roots-based dubstep, creating a sound that is unique and full of flavour. This enigmatic Korean-German producer blends both sides of his heritage, the digital steppers that emerged from Europe in the 1990’s alongside the traditional oriental music of his mother’s homeland, Korea, augmented by a deeper exploration of contemporary bass music. It is said that JahYu’s family descend from the same lineage of Go Jumong, the founder of the great Goguryeo Kingdom of the Far East, a people renown for their ancestral worship and unique musical expression. Goguryeo music was even adopted as official court music for the powerful Sui and Tang dynasties of China, many times throughout history these Chinese dynasties were at war with Goguryeo, however, the music of the enemy, Goguryeo, was still able to flourish in China and has been consistently performed across Asia for hundreds of years. Perhaps this explains the majestic qualities of JahYu’s music. JahYu’s productions provide us with the opportunity to discover our ancestral roots through music. Roots music is not a sound, it is a feeling and a feeling that JahYu is able to evoke with profound intensity.

Artist: Krakowski & Kasia Malenda
Title: Scream for your rights
Format: Digital Download
Genre:  Reggae, Dub
Label: Superfly Studio
Cat.No: SF030
Release date: 29.01.16 
Artwork: Anna Jędrzejak

Piotr Krakowski  - composer, music producer and trumpet player known from several projects: Pankracy Sessions, SmokeDaCrackoff or King & Krakowski. His favourite style is Roots and Rubadub with addition of his dubbed trumpet. 

This time he invited Kasia Malenda, with whom he worked with in SmokeDaCrackoff, to collaborate for a heavy dub riddim with powerful bassline and turbulent brass section. Conscious lyrics and intriguing melodies tell the real story of modern world and society oppressed by tyrannical governments. 

The real cornerstone and essentially the back bone of reggae is the fight for freedom against oppression and financial terror. As Bob Marley used to sing “Get up, Stand up” now Kasia Malenda sings “Scream for Your Rights” for all of those who are tired of exploitation.

BLACKOUT JA - MURDA WE CHARGE (NUMA CREW REMIX) (CLIP)

With releases on Black Box, Box Clever, System - and of course firmly planted in the mighty Innamind camp of artists - ZamZam is proud to forward our first 7” from the enigmatic LAS (Love and Sound) AKA Lassi Vainionpää of Helsinki.

Well-known to those that have journeyed alongside LAS during his live shows the last couple years, “Traveling" is a deep journey into the post-dubstep ether - a classic Upsetters sample rotates and swims in strange orbits around a rubbery sub and LAS’ signature conga-led percussion.  Half way through the tune a 4/4 pulse takes over and the dubbing goes recursive and non-Euclidian, even while it drives that much harder. 

"Omega Dub" takes a turn for the darker - the darkness of space.  A hollowed out lead that sounds like throat signing cyborgs navigates the craft, propelled by insistent skanks.  Spectral key flourishes bloom from the beyond, and hats and snares are pushed into an ever deeper reverb void.

Released mid-February, 2016. Limited to 800 copies for the world. No digital, no repress. Design & screen print by Polygon Press.

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!”

Danman - The Wisest Live Long / Indica Dubs & Forward Fever - Menelik I Dub 10" [ISS035]


As a part of Bristol's Young Echo collective, Ishan Sound has helped sculpt an array of music that gleefully exists on the more experimental edges of music, but his solo output under the Ishan Sound name has quite a specific and direct intention. Piled full of low end then riddled with interesting melodies and chunky percussive elements his music belongs in dark rooms, played loud on muscled soundsystems that can replicate the dense sense of dread that he writes and captures. With an upcoming appearance here at the Outlook Festival launch party on the 11th March we hooked up to discuss his background and the genesis of his dubstep influenced music (some of which you can most likely hear in this mixtape he's kindly put together for us).

Ishan Sound - FABRICLIVE x Outlook Festival Mix

“ The Music unites", was Marco's way of think. All the artists who met Marco took part in this compilation to get closer to him, again. Together we still believe in a dream: to spread basses, and be free to celebrate with the sound system's spirit. Marco was always able to get us move and to diffuse the energy he had in himself and that's what he leaves in each of us. The Bass power of every single track is strong like the message he left : Wake Up..... Not just a scream but a call for the souls.
Violante, and all Marco's friends thank all the artists, Gabriele for the mastering work, Matt for the precious work he done and Tristan Josse for the Graphic artworks. As Marco and Alfredo said: " There is no authority but yourself

After Violinbwoy’s successful ‘Mono County’ twelver and Moonshine’s tight collaboration with Steppas Records, the imprint is ready to march on and announce its next 12-inch coloured vinyl release waiting in line.

The mighty Mungo’s Hi-Fi and Sekkleman have taken up Radikal Guru’s (RG) prolific ‘Subconscious’ long player. Each has picked a track of choice to lengthen and relive the Polish sound of 2013. With a remix of originals 
‘Stay Calm ft. YT’ and ‘Earthwalker, the imprint’s back catalogue is steadily shifting the sediment of dub(wise) music.  

Mungo’s Hi Fi’s take on RG’s ‘Stay Calm’ is a meditative jam that reaches out to the most high. The track is led by a low-toned bassline that immerses listeners in lo-fi tremor. It shakes chest plates, while YT’s blessed vocal work transcends the average dub plate. His energetic lines of wisdom align with Mungo’s futuristic drum work; all to forge a revolutionary sound that honours RG’s dub style. Guided by several melody leads, swinging flows and sample tweaks, this rework really sets a groove of its own.

The flip side of ‘MS024’ reaches out to a confident steppa-style production that will remind many of scene favourite Gorgon Sound. The Australian-based Sekkleman has an exciting go at reinterpreting ‘Earthwalker’ in his own profound way: a pounding kick, rowdy b-lines and an enthralling flute escort listeners through the path to Jah. The mental atmosphere that follows suit sets a tone that touches upon RG’s original intentions. It bundles the roots of this stepper, allowing it to effectively trigger a journey that eases down the brain; just close your eyes and skank towards peace and unity.

‘MS024’ embodies a returning theme, consisting of two remixes that add even more significance to the existence of Radikal Guru’s 2nd album. For us, taking part in this movement is all that matters. Thanks for your support!

A wonderful thing when 2 people come together from different corners of the world and unite through music, sharing their experiences and building blocks to support shared ideas. This is exactly what happened with Dreadsquad and Blackout JA when, at Uprising Festival, Slovakia, the pair met, bonded and decided to spend a week writing and recording to produce what is now the main body of 'World Destruction’.

The result, as Dreadsquad feels, ‘is at the same time very diverse and cohesive’ and this is down to a number of things; namely the production techniques used, the style of Blackouts vocals and the natural way that all of the songs came together to reflect the current atmosphere of the world.

Subject matters of the songs move through corruption, poverty, mind control, war on drugs, police brutality and the destruction of the world we are living in but they also highlight positivity and solutions spreading love and giving people hope.

The 2 singles being lifted from the album, ‘Last Tune’ and ‘A Girl Like You’, will be put to good use on both the radio and dance floor, then the album as a whole takes in many different genres; Roots Reggae, Digital / Raggamuffin, UK Steppas, Rub a Dub with influences of World Music and EDM. 

Dreadsquad and Blackout JA will be performing their album ‘World Destruction’ across Europe throughout 2016
