When Mafia & Fluxy meet Nick Manasseh…
For the occasion Reemah from the island of St. Croix is back on vocal duties for the label - the result: a beautiful tune called ‘What Goes Around’ in a versatile lyrical style. On the flipside then - a ’Trumpet Situation’ - an uplifting instrumental cut featuring Berlin’s own Vale on the instrument. Both on an oldschool-style drum and bass driven riddim recorded in Brixton by the legendary Mafia & Fluxy rhythm section, spiced with some percussion by brother K’boko. The whole project was given to the dubmaster Nick Manasseh for mixing and the right treatment in his The Yard Studio and then mastered from 1/2inch tape at Star Delta in the UK. Now served with dubs and a fitting artwork by Chloé Bernal - ready to be played loud.

Reemah x Mafia & Fluxy meet Manasseh - What Goes Around + What Goes Dub

The next 12inch in the Lion’s Choice series showcases two productions by Val Tribulation from Grenoble, France. One features Haroon Ayyaz on ‘Words Of Wisdom’ - an uplifting 90s style instrumental paired with a praise song to and partly from the holy scriptures including a heavily meditative mandolin cut by the versatile instrumentalist Mandlion from Italy. The other one features ‘Marble Works’-partner in crime Alpha B on ’What’s Left For Me’ - a heavily saxophone (played by Prince François Far I) infused riddim, combined with thought-provoking lyrics questioning the state of todays world and its future. Two powerful vocals and one instrumental cut on two deep riddims, both served with a dub version.
