Dreadsquad’s single sheds new light on the phenomenon commonly known in the reggae world as “versioning’ – different versions of songs and creative recycling of rhythms tracks (riddims). "Reality" is a track originally created by Kasia Malenda with the Krakow-based producer SmokeDaCrackOFF, released on their joint EP and then on "Dub out of Poland Vol. 3", a crucial compilation released in 2009. A few years ago, it was also recorded during one of the rehearsals of the Dreadsquad Live project. Since then, this version has been played at Dreadsquad events as a dubplate. Currently, there is no heavy, slow roots reggae being produced in Poland. I came to such a conclusion when this track piece was so well received during my set at this year's festival in Wolimierz. That is why I decided to finally finish it and put it out as an official release – comments Dreadsquad and adds – I hope that despite the Polish lyrics it will also appeal to my fans around the world, and perhaps this unusual language may attract their attention.

What is “Reality” about? Singer Kasia Malenda recalls: I wrote this at a very difficult moment in my life and I think most of us have had similar experiences in our lives. Two very young people fall in love with each other, but reality creeps into their love over time – routine, adult problems, sacrifices, and compromises. They distance themselves from each other and suddenly it turns out that love alone is not enough for them to be happy together. Persistent clinging to the past shuts them from life lessons and the solace that time brings.

Mastered at Studio AS One in Warsaw, known for their work for the ones as Zion Train or Warsaw Village Band, Dreadsquad’s release also includes an instrumental version.

Interestingly, the author of the artwork is ... artificial intelligence. The illustration is an AI-generated image, created by the Dall*e software within 10 seconds after I typed the phrase "a dark painting of a woman chasing a large shadow" – Dreadsquad reveals.

The best of Italian reggae in one album
produced by Niam & DotVibes Crew and distributed by Bizzarri Records

Available on all digital stores from January 26 th

 

'Stronger Than Ever' is a collection gathering all the best talents of Italian reggae scene in one single album, giving a full dimension of what Reggae music is in our country nowadays.

The album combines the presence of the best bands and Italian producers who, in the past few years, have taken local reggae beyond the national borders such as Lion D, Mellow Mood, Forelock, Raphael, Kg Man, Piero Dread, Mama Marjas & Tahnee, Paolo Baldini, Madaski and Dot Vibes.

The album, made of original tunes and riddims specifically created for each artist, shapes from the idea of Niam (Massimo 'Mina' Minato) to work on a project with a common goal, where each tune is useful and essential to the whole work. “In times where a certain amount of individualism is necessary to achieve results, the chance to feel ourselves as a single movement can be a sign of very strong unity, because only together we can look forward" (Niam)

'Stronger Than Ever' is  absolutely something new as it fully shows the big steps forward made in the last ten years by Italian reggae music; a path that originated more than thirty years ago, allowing us to understand and feel a musical genre born on the other side of the world and making it 'ours' too. 

The album marks the beginning of a new cycle of productions, in which Niam & DotVibes Crew will embrace new projects destined to the whole Italian reggae scene.

'Stronger Than Ever'' means to be the first step of a long journey, a sort of Format to be reproposed with other artists, other ideas, other energies.

More Than Ever Unity!

A la fois éclectique et efficace, cette compilation passe du trip hop au stepper en passant par du digital, du hip hop ou encore de la drum & bass. 
La tortue souhaite remercier l'activisme et la participation de chacun des acteurs qui font de cette compilation une réalité (numérique !!) et compte bien continuer à promouvoir cet élan pour de très longues années encore !

The second release from Sufferah’s Choice is a one-riddim collaboration 12” EP between Dubkasm and Ashanti Selah, the son of the great Aba Shanti-I, and a huge talent in his own right. It opens with a rare guest vocal by the legendary Keety Roots.  A conscious mystic who is renowned for 90s gems like his legendary vocal ‘African Blood’, and for his heavyweight productions on his own Black Legacy label. 

Keety usually only voices his own productions so having his gentle but righteous voice over Dubkasm’s trademark bass and horns and Ashanti Selah’s bubbling keyboards and frenzied drums is a huge and rare honour. A pounding echo filled dub follows.  The b-side is given over to a jubilant horn cut, blending Ashanti Selah’s digital power with Dubkasm’s deep organic sound, and the sparsely melodic instrumental cut.

Dubkasm have known Ashanti Selah since he was a boy, through their friendship with his father, and have watched him grow up in the roots tradition. This collaboration, which has been championed worldwide by the great Aba Shanti-I shows a deep dub connection.

Like all Dubkasm releases, this was mastered on 1/2” tape by Lewis at Stardelta; much requested and highly sought after, this is not a release to sleep on.
