Hummingbird & Ras Soto - Better Days - Culture Dub Records CDRNET073

-----------------------------------------------------------

C'est du côté du Japon que vous entraine le label Culture Dub Records pour sa 73ème release en Free Download avec une production made in Tokyo signée Mizuki Akutsu, aka Hummingbird, un pur stepper dynamique sur lequel le chanteur Ras Solo originaire du Mozambique vient louer Jah Rastafari pour de meilleurs lendemains, suivi d'une version Dub taillée pour les Sound Systems puissants... Du Dub mais bien plus encore, une preuve que le mélange est une richesse, qu’il soit musical ou humain !

C’est bien dans le Dub des origines et dans ses techniques de studio que Mizuki Akutsu puise son inspiration pour son projet solo Hummingbird ! Chercheur de son, avec la soif de l’expérimentation, le producteur japonais participe à plusieurs projets du côté de Tokyo au Japon. Il est illustrateur sonore dans le Duo Pers avec Kai Mike et participe entre autres au projet Wardrobes : « Musique x Mode x Culture » !

Mizuki Akutsu délivre des productions avec une touche bien à lui, une touche « Tokyo-style » ! Ses compositions sont à coup sur à base de Dub mais il les fait évoluer dans des contrées Electro Bass Music, percutantes et militantes, tels sa série "Blind For Dub" débuté en 2018 produit sous le nom Hummingbird ! Le producteur Tokyoïte emmène notre style de prédilection vers de nouveaux horizons, décomplexé, armé d’une expérience et d’un talent certain...

Originaire de Maputo au Mozambique mais habitant du côté du Brésil, Ras Soto, petit génie du mic, signe son premier titre à l’age de 9 ans avant de se dévouer à la cause Rasta et de louer Jah sur des versions Reggae, Dancehall, Raggamuffin ou Dub... Artiste versatile, chantant en différentes langues, il a produit plusieurs albums avant de sortir des chansons aux côtés de Hummingbird ou sur le label Fat Bird Recordings entres autres !

Music composed, arranged and mixed by: Hummingbird

Better Days ft Ras Soto

Produced by Empress Shema / Arranged & Mixed by Chazbo 

Here I Come - Prince Jamo

This EP represents the musical journey I have been on over the last few years. Starting with my electronic influences, I tried to explore the textures and musical themes that have inspired me most. Drawing on elements of dub techno, 60's rock, psychedelia and straight up reggae, this EP is an attempt to stick a pin in the map and allow me to move forwards unfettered by left over concepts and incomplete ideas.

Remember, Love Is The Map.

another monday, another release ;-)…
here comes the second VINYL in the >Lion's Choice< series...

this version hails back to early 2014 when I invited Echo Ranks longside Radikal Guru for a Lion's Den meets Moonshine Recordings night to the old Yaam… we used the little time before the session and the next morning to record some dubs with Echo in my little room back then for some Berlin soundmen and had a first exchange on the idea of a collaboration… some time after this meeting I sent him a heavy steppaz riddim by Violinbwoy and he went into the studio in Leicester to record "Don't Kill Your Brother"… those vocals were then sent to Poland and got the Violinbwoy dub treatment, him creating two completely new versions… full power, full force…
as I love the style and works of vrki and his Digitron Sound project a lot, the idea wasn't far-fetched to ask him for a remix… and so he gave it the psy-hooligan-steppas-approach :P just a glimpse of what's to come after those good times we spent together this spring and summer on tour, in the studio and on different festivals and sessions… watch out for some tuff collaborations :P

grab yur copy thru https://lionsdensound.bandcamp.com/ or us directly
(if yu are in the area and have the possibility: for us it's even much better and stronger support if yu buy directly from us… either at a gig, pass thru at our yard, etc. and not thru the store, as every little service takes a little share…)

This series reveals some unique compositions on three different 12inch discs to take you on an extraordinary journey - a more than three year collaborative work with our good friend and musical mastermind Violinbwoy finally ready fi all sound systems around the globe. Again a path from version over version to a next version - dubwise all the way… nuff tuff riddims, mixes, dubz and vocals were sent back and forth between Poland, Germany, France, Croatia and the UK, with some nice encounters on stage, in the studio, on tour or somewhere in between…

"Don't Kill Your Brother" is a tune very much needed in those times of political turmoil and warfare. Echo Ranks from Leicester, UK, calling upon his I-dren to stop the senseless killing. A message of peace for the youths of today. In this instance with a ruff remix by the 'Balkan Dub Defenders' Digitron from Zagreb, Croatia - electronic madness style… Each side with a 'part 2' dub mix in full effect.

All dubs were transferred to 1/2inch Tape for extra analogue warmth, mastered with care and pressed on high quality 180g vinyl by Star Delta / Delta Disc, UK. It is also digitally available.
Conscious music fooooorward…
