Happy Halloween!  On "Black Ark Vampires" Lee "Scratch" Perry & Subatomic Sound System have crafted a throbbing sound-man tune propelled by subsonic bass, bubbling skanks, and pulsing beats that balance the murky and mystical vibes of Perry’s classic Jamaican dub reggae recordings with the flammable energy and bass vibrations of current electronic music, fine tuning a recipe that they have slow cooked throughout their last four years of U.S. tours spreading authentic dub to a new generation in places like Coachella, Dub Champions Festival, and Red Bull Music Academy. Lyrically the track features Perry’s most focused lyrics in a decade, a poignant oath of vengeance against the vampires that corrupted the ark of the covenant and forced him to burn down his famed Black Ark studio, told in comical rhymes that echo the cadence of a Dr. Seuss story coupled with the morbidity of Edgar Allan Poe, promising the details of where, when, and how he will kill these vampires, from Kingston to London to New York City and everywhere; vampires beware; he will kill them with his hair, with fire, with electric wire, and even with roast corn. Melodically the tune packs soaring vampire hooks, spiritual vocal choirs, groaning melodica bursts, and even a few lines from dancehall vocalist Jahdan Blakkamoore, produced and recorded by Emch at his Subatomic Sound laboratory in NYC. Scratch’s vocals were recorded in Brooklyn at the Hook Studio after an NYC performance with the production assistance of On-U Sound’s legendary Adrian Sherwood, producer of some of Perry’s finest post-Jamaica recordings. The session was filmed by a Dubspot video crew after a long drive through NYC during which Perry recounted the better part of his life story as a warm up for the session.

At the age of 78, Lee "Scratch" Perry has built a life based as much on his fame as a reggae and dub inventor who exhibited boundless creativity and innovation in music composition and production, as he has on his reputation as a madman with playful wit, a propensity for lighting things on fire, a natural mystical spirituality that he famously introduced to Bob Marley, and his defiant individuality and commitment to personal freedom. "Black Ark Vampires" brilliantly ties together these divergent characteristics to create classic Lee "Scratch" Perry material on all levels.

Perry loves to dance and loves dancehall. His nickname actually comes from the name of dance he invented called Chicken Scratch. During his tours with Subatomic Sound System, Scratch had a voracious appetite for hearing new sounds and was interested in the "Vampires & Informers" dubstep track Subatomic Sound System had produced for dancehall vocalist Elephant Man. Perry began performing on the riddim live which led to developing the lyrics for Black Ark Vampires and Subatomic developing a riddim for Perry that captured his vibes. Though Perry is known for seldom giving straight answers and many have wondered if he really burned down the Black Ark studio, Emch from Subatomic Sound System says that one night after performing a show in California, he and percussionist Larry McDonald, a Black Ark studio veteran, were talking backstage when Scratch told them the reasons for his own longevity: "Stress will kill you. That’s why I had to burn down the Black Ark." He said the popularity of the studio had attracted the vampires who came to suck him dry and corrupted the magic of Black Ark, but rather than let that slowly destroy him like a cancer, he chose to close the book on that chapter of his life and move on by torching the studio and making an exodus to the UK leaving the vampires with nothing but the ashes.

THE ARTISTS: Grammy winning reggae and dub inventor Lee "Scratch" Perry is a living legend, one of Jamaica’s most prolific producers and a true original with a spirit that has defined and influenced countless artists across genres and generation, decades of great Jamaican artists from Bob Marley to Max Romeo, punk rockers The Clash, The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, The Orb, The Beastie Boys, Paul McCartney, Kode9, and the list goes on. At 78 he continues to tour, record, and paint incessantly.

Spearhead by producer, DJ, and instrumentalist Emch, NYC’s Subatomic Sound System is leading a dub music renaissance, founders of the US & Europe Dub Champions Festival, 4 years acting as the live band for legend Lee "Scratch" Perry on tours including Coachella & Red Bull Music Academy; plus independently touring North America, Europe, and Asia, and for a decade producing flavors ranging from classic dub to dubstep.

THE SUBATOMIC SOUND LABEL: Subatomic Sound specializes in limited edition exclusive vinyl releases that push the envelope of dub, reggae, & dancehall in the context of electronic bass music through forward sounding productions and unlikely collaborations with icons such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, David Lynch, Anthony B, Elephant Man, Ari Up of The Slits, as well as new school torchbearers like Dubblestandart, Jahdan Blakkamoore, Dub Gabriel, and many more. Subatomic Sound actively produces events and founded the annual Dub Champions Festival running 4 years in the USA and Europe. Subatomic Sound Radio airs on Brooklyn Radio and for three years ran on KEXP’s Radio New York, 91.5FM broadcast which transmitted to a footprint of 11 million listeners.

Reggae Roast are proud to present ‘Roots Uprising’ the first feature length release on their newly formed label. Over the past 2 years Reggae Roast Promotions has solidified its position at the top of the UK Reggae scene by running some of the most talked about events in the capital. Exel &amp; Moodie have been joined by special guests including: Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Collie Buddz, Sly &amp; Robbie, Finley Quaye, Mad Professor, David Rodi- gan, Suggs (Madness) and many more. The Reggae Roast crew are now working on some highly anticipated releases, building on the strength of their ever popular monthly live session.

Roots Uprising was created as a realisation of the vitality within the UK Roots music industry. Since starting Reggae Roast events in 2007 Exel &amp; Moodie have worked alongside some of the most talented producers, singers, MCs and musicians in this country. The aim of this album is to show that Reggae music is as alive as ever, over 30 years after its creation and continues to grow from strength to strength.
The track list reads like a who’s who of British Reggae and features a selection of well respected artists such as Adrian Sherwood and Brother Culture, alongside emerging talents including Dub Terror and Ramon Judah.

Throughout the 12 carefully selected tracks the piece glides through organic Roots, digital Dancehall, hard hit- ting Dubstep and uplifting Steppers. The album in seamlessly mixed by Exel &amp; Moodie, using authentic sound system techniques and dubbed-out samples.

Roots Uprising is a prime example of the versatility, and distinctly vibrant style that Reggae Roast has become synonymous with; a consistently positive and conscious message combined with earth shattering bass-lines and booty shaking beats. Two major features of the album come from UK Dub pioneer Adrian Sherwood &amp; the new-found kings of digital Roots; Mungo’s Hifi.

Mungo’s Hifi and their outstanding Scotch Bonnet imprint are responsible for a large part of the bestUK releases over the past few years. They have subtly managed to create a perfect blend of authentic Reggae vocal tracks, mixed with the toughest Dubstep bass lines featuring top ranking artists such as: Movado, Buju Banton, Beenie Man, Top Cat, Tippa Irie and many more. The Mungo’s Hifi track ‘Under Arrest’ features Reggae Roast’s very own MC Ishu and is a brilliant example of their dance-rocking style.

Another outstanding feature comes from Adrian Sherwood, a loyal supporter of Reggae Roast and mentor to the group. Adrian Sherwood is best known for his Reggae / Dub productions on his On-U Sound record label. Over the past 20 years he has worked with many of the great Reggae artists, including Jamaican dub pioneer Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry. They produced the classic album ‘Time Boom X De Devil Dead’ and Sherwood's support helped relaunch Perry's career. He has just finished another amazing album with Mr Perry and continues to secure his place among the greatest contributors of British Reggae music.

RIGHTEOUS EP - Featuring : RSD, EVERGREEN, LANDLORD, RUCKSPIN, DANMAN, NUCLEUS ROOTS & DARK ARX

Reggae Roast Records are proud to presents the Righteous EP. This release features a selection of the most exciting artists from the across the UK Reggae / Dubstep scenes. The Righteous EP follows the massively popular ‘Evolution’ single, from Ghetto Priest, released in November 2010, which enjoyed airplay from the likes of Rob The Bank, Don Letts and David Rodigan as well as mass club DJ rotations. This release is set to follow suit with its captivating energy and cross-genre appeal. The 4 track EP uniquely meanders between the 4 sub-genres of Roots Reggae, giving traditional Caribbean practices a distinctly modern, UK reworking. 

The original track - Written by production team; Evergreen, Landlord &amp; Ruckspin features a gritty MC style vocal from Danman over a hard hitting steppers riddim track. Danman has made his name touring the globe over the past 3 decades, chanting on legendary sound systems such as Iration Steppas and Aba Shanti-i. Righteous is a great example of his uplifting lyrical outlook and enchanting rhyming patterns. This track was both inspired by and designed for dancehall culture, with immense low-end energy and a relentless stepping rhythm. Evergreen, Landlord &amp; Ruckspin, in their mid-twenties are destined to be the next generation of bass warriors, paying homage to the likes of Jah Shaka, while adding a very futuristic, London stance to their productions. This mix has already become an underground anthem in Dancehall’s across the UK, building on their ‘Jah Rain’ release of 2009, which was a big hit across Europe.

RSD Dubstep Remix - Rob Smith is as integral to the Bristol sound as any of his mainstream-approved counterparts. After his legendary work under the alias Smith &amp; Mighty Sound System, RSD is once again at Bristol's cutting edge, aligning himself with the city's inventive Dubstep movement. The likes of local Dubstep dons Pinch and Peverelist have backed the RSD cause already, releasing singles via their respective labels, Earwax and Punch Drunk. Since the late 1980s, RSD has played a huge part in the evolution of Bristol's clubbing soundtrack. His eclectic experiments in Dub, Reggae, Drum'n'Bass and beyond set him up as an obvious forefather of Dubstep. RSD’s remix of Righteous is destined for heavy rotation in the clubs, with its pounding drum track and monster sub bass. Expect to hear this one played by the likes of N-TYPE & Scuba over the coming months, as well as multiple rewinds on Rinse Fm and 1Xtra.

Nucleus Roots Dub - Hailing from Manchester, with four classic albums under their belt, Nuclues Roots have become globally recognised for their authentic Dub mixes. They operate in a very traditional King Tubby-esq fashion, using authentic Dub techniques of live Dub mixing. Working with an array of classic effects units, Nucleus Roots have produced a beautifully minimal, Dubwise version of the track, re-balancing elements, using colourful multi-effects to produce an entirely fresh remix of the original, which carries serious bass-weight, while retaining freedom and space.

Dark Arx Remix - Fledgling bass producer Dark Arx has produced a final cutting-edge future bass remix, which builds on his infatuation with Dub Techno pioneers such as Rhythm & Sound and the Basic Channel movement. With 2 highly regarded singles under his belt we are delighted to have this highly original version of Righteous, which brings a forward thinking feel to the EP. Once again exploring the fringes of the Dubstep &amp; Techno, Dark Arx’s mix takes inspiration from Detroit &amp; Berlin, Fans of Scuba, Peverelist and Ramadanman should take notice of this mix.

This release explores the various reincarnations of the Roots Reggae sound, covering classic Dub, digital Steppers, Dubstep and Future Bass. We believe it to be a poignant release as a resurgence of Caribbean music infiltrates all aspects of modern dance music. Our previous single releases have been very well received by national radio stations and DJs alike, with multiple plays on Radio1, 1Xtra and Kiss100, we hope Righteous will follow suit with its cross genre appeal and dance floor energy.
