I've been sitting on this playlist for a long time. I keep many lists private in order to collect tracks to be sorted and arranged for *other* playlist. But I've been selfish with all this music for way too long and finally just made it public. The songs are not in any particular order, but everything feels good.

Happy New Year 2016.
Love to all.

Amalfi seafront (Mediterraneo album)

Capital Letters 
 ‘Smoking My Ganja’ (Rootikal Remix EP)

With a revived Capital Letters once more performing sell out shows across Europe and the enthusiastic reception afforded to their “Reality” album released by Reggae Archive Records at the start of the year, we decided to give their fans old and new something special with the release of a brand new 12” EP.
      The recordings are from the same 1985 session that gave us the “Reality” album and feature remixes of two songs that will be familiar to anyone who has that album, “Smoking My Ganja” and “Reality”. When we went back to the session tapes, we discovered an additional track that wasn't available for the album and that track ‘Housebreaker’ makes its debut here.
      Who better to take charge of remix duties than Reggae Archive's regular collaborator, Rootikal's David Hill with engineering and studio space provided by UK reggae legend Nick Manasseh. They took the original multi tracks and welded them into sound system anthems. You could imagine these new mixes would have been cut on a hundred dub plates if the tracks had been finished and mixed this way back in '85.
       We kick proceedings off with “Smoking My Ganja”, a track transformed from the familiar commercial anthem we all know and stripped of its pop sensibilities, the bass driven gritty roots monster that always lurked beneath is finally unleashed. Propelled by a foreboding bass line the vocal is darker and rootsier. It conjures up the claustrophobia of those dark, smoke filled sound sessions of a past age, hundreds of people each locked into their own individual bass cocoon. The dub plate mix with its urgent, heavy oppressive bass really does reinvent the anthem, it's now hypnotic and relentless, and a lost Shaka special that never was. For the drum and bass mix it's back to basics with the song pared down to the essentials and yet remaining totally riveting. The whole side is addictive and plays like one long disco mix, Rootikal has achieved the rare feet of improving upon a well loved classic.
        “Housebreaker” is as heavy as its name suggests with these heavy, heavy mixes, forget breaking into a house you could literally demolish it. Pounding away with jackhammer bass and wrecking ball drums, this pair conjure up proper early eighties dub vibes. The dark arts of proper dub mixing haven't been lost in the digital age, they've just been waiting for the right moment and here, spread across the two mixes are nine minutes of right moments.
        “Reality” was a highlight of the album that bears it's name and a tune well deserving of two more cuts from the skilful hands of David Hill and Nick Manasseh. The vocal is proper old school British Roots Reggae at its finest, another lost art that is finally making a most welcome comeback with the reformed Capital Letters in the vanguard. The record is perfectly rounded off with an excellent dub counterpart that maintains the consistent high standard of the earlier tracks; this EP is strictly killer with absolutely no filler.
       Capital Letters “Smoking My Ganja” (The Rootikal Remix EP) is released on Reggae Archive Records on the 7th of July 2014 on high quality vinyl and digital download, available from all leading stockists.

The return of the GCW 10” comes at you like some span-dangled carnival procession. Mudkid goes and reprises his efforts from GCW01V.

Turn Out:  Goes back to the original rootsy Mudkid agenda, A slender swagger coaxes a dub orientated lean from the machines. 
Subterranean textures drifting over nifty psychedelic sound design complement the rich diapason. 
Deeper delaying chords perpetuate motion as a lightly connecting vocal whispers and aligns, giving off a big floater of a vibe - as it were.


Burning Bridges / Turn Out

B) Turn Out

The return of the GCW 10” comes at you like some span-dangled carnival procession. Mudkid goes and reprises his efforts from GCW01V.

Burning Bridges: Thumping and cavernous with subtlety & flourishing reverberations. Think twinkling twilight techno on the stepper tip… 
The whole canticle to the dance floor gradually goes flipping bonkers as you go on a wayfaring stroll to that mythical 5AM finish line.

A) Burning Bridges

Mudkid is back in the Greta Cottage family way.

Sideways Honkin’ Dancefloor Stonkin’ relentless grooves for your rekid box. 

Karius Und Baktus is a both a hangover from his youth, and a screaming aural legend for that infamous Greasy Donkey basement. To know it is to love it. 

Two chewns for the price of one, wait for the lift. Top floor beckons, but best stay in the basement…

The final track in the Trilogy of the Mudkid 10” drops, You know what a Prophet is, right? 

Returns you to the beginning of the stumble – closing the loop of a TRUE dub techno ramble, 

Rumbles your subs and splodges your mumbles <<<

>>> Don’t check yer needle it’s made like dat!

GCW06V - Mudkid : Muddy Blues E.P

This E.P took a while to sort out. Franklin wanted all new Mudkid goodness, I have been wanting to see Hash Hash & When the Mud Falls on vinyl since they came out. In the end a compromise was reached! 6 tracks, 4 on vinyl. Enjoy.
The heart melting, floor obliterating grooving beast When the Mud Falls is held with high regard in the GC stables. Solidly built on a foundation of fat tuned kicks, curly sub and an uncompromising tour de force piano spiral. Effervescently ethereal, bringing on vague recollections of 80s high-end synth led kosmische production. A powerhaus of monumental proportions.
 
Fulltime Volldepp is a sizable lump of gathering rhythms converging to form tense build ups. Shuffling away psyche inducing sentiments with a cataclysmic crescendo, A2 aids the thoughtful dancefloor massive in futuristic disco dancing. 
 
Hash Hash has been a staple part in the Workshops diet since way back, finally seeing the light of day on a thickly cut 180g. Cloud like deep house maneuvers bump and grind, providing existential feelings with no remorse or care. They strut their stuff with light claps and flailing keys to make melancholy merriment.
 
Driving emotive Brownswitch picks slick Detroit chords to induce otherworldly fondness. With muffled claps for supreme furious styles and space age affections eventually reaching a heightened hypnosis, Rocketship funk of the highest order this is… the inside etch says it all really.
 
The first of the Digi pair, Big Daddy is Mudkid in full soundtrack mode, lurking & skulking on the moody downlo, Still fizzing with energy and life force, soothing flipped with darkness, an afterhours slow burn.
 
Closing out the show, Future Girl will stand you back on your feet for one last dubbed out flex in the reverb wash. Kick drums ride over metallic clangs and rubber bass muscle. Set up a System in a field, call your mates, add Future Girl and stay up all night.

    Stencilled Heavy Weight sleeves (nearly gassed ourselves to death doing them)
    Perfectly mastered 4 track EP done at Star Delta. (non attended cuts are dull, you got to go and get involved!)
    180g Vinyl.
    A trip up to ST holdings to deliver the vinyl, talk rubbish and raid the Warehouse.
    If you manage to bag one of these you did good. (Only 300 like this)
    Digital out the same day to try and stem the flow of Torrents (fat chance)
