The Imperial Riddim EP features two distinct cuts, each delivering its own unique vibe and message, built around a powerful riddim cre- ated by our friends Dubbing Sun and Bukkha.
The A-side, “Really and Truly,” is a heartfelt One Drop version featuring Haroon Ayaaz, the talented singer of Dubapest HiFi. Haroon’s uplifting Rastafari anthem is a praise song to His Imperial Majesty, carrying deep spiritual significance. This version is enriched by live drum recordings from Karigan, adding an organic warmth and vibrant energy to the track.
On the B-side, “Spoiled Cake” brings a heavier Steppas vibe. Legendary Jamaican singer Jay aka Easton Clarke delivers a profound message about life’s true priorities, using the metaphor of avoiding the “spoiled cake” to encourage mindfulness and gratitude. Vale’s trumpet lines add a melodic dimension to both cuts.
The EP’s visual presentation ties it all together, with cover and label design by Darkwing Dub. The artwork showcases the original Lion of Judah, a historic emblem used during the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie, reflecting the project’s deep connection to Rastafari heritage. From its origins in Jamaica, Italy, Hungary, and Austria, the Imperial Riddim EP is a celebration of collaboration and the universal power of reggae music.

Wicked She Wicked feat Billy Boyo (Remix)

Danubian Dub - Move Dem (Smalltowndubz RMX)

Sub Channels Record is proud to announce their first release, "Epic EP," featuring a collaboration between Belgium-based producer Unlisted Fanatic and Moonshine Horns.

The track "Epic" is a result of the first "post-covid" spontaneous rehearsal session. After Martin just finished building his new fast-driven 90s UK stepper riddim, Jort and Kris came to a studio, and they both felt the vibes instantly. Very quickly this turns into a recording session where they have lay down the powerful, triumphant horn line. With bouncy bass and very clever percussion layering, it's a perfect backing beat for uplifting horns. On the flip side, EchoBoy slows down the tempo of the original recordings, transforming the melodic horns into more rootikal vibes. This, combined with hard-hitting wobs and ground-shaking subs, makes the B-side a more futuristic tune.

The "Epic EP" is coming out on 5th Sept. 2025 on a heavyweight 180g vinyl and digital download.

DAWA HIFI x ROOTS RAID ft. MIGHTY CRICKET – ONE SHEEP

Dawa Hifi and Roots Raid join forces once again after their two previous collaborations:
“Red Light Album” (2024) and “Nexus EP” (2025, with Vixen Sound).

This time, the collective teams up with Mighty Cricket, a singer from New Caledonia, for a brand new single: “ONE SHEEP”.

Dawa Hifi first met Mighty Cricket in 2008 at a party hosted by Coptic Sound in Lille, then Roots Raid met him in 2010 – which led to the track “Get Out” on Roots Raid’s debut album “From The Top”, recorded in Bourges in collaboration with Ondubground.
That same year, Mighty Cricket recorded two songs – “ONE SHEEP” and “JAH KNOW” – written by Humble I (poet and rasta singer – RIP), at the Coptic Sound studio.

The original version of “ONE SHEEP” was recorded that same year at Control Tower Studio in Bordeaux, with Dub Machinist, Sirhill (Control Tower) and I-Tist on production.
Big up Sirhill!

The lyrics are mystical, and Mighty Cricket delivers a deep, heartfelt performance.

After circulating for years as dubplates, the idea of rebuilding the instrumentals of both tracks began to take shape.
Roots Raid reworked “JAH KNOW” (coming later this year), while Dawa Hifi crafted a brand new riddim for “ONE SHEEP”, with Roots Raid’s Natty Bass and Bongo B adding live instrumentation.

Classical guitar, n'goni, percussions, and analog synths enrich a raw electronic pattern, carefully mixed.
This meditative dub piece is built both for the heaviest sound systems and the smallest walkmans.

Big up to Gilou Mighty Cricket, Humble I, Control Tower crew (Dub Machinist, Sirhill, I-Tist), Lille crew (Nic Coptic, Tomaski, Jericho, Agobun, etc.)

Enjoy the vibes!

DAWA HIFI x ROOTS RAID ft. MIGHTY CRICKET – ONE SHEEP

Dawa Hifi et Roots Raid unissent à nouveau leurs forces après leurs deux précédentes collaborations :
« Red Light Album » (2024) et « Nexus EP » (2025, avec Vixen Sound).

Cette fois, c’est avec le chanteur calédonien Mighty Cricket que le collectif s’associe pour un nouveau single : « ONE SHEEP ».

Rencontré par Dawa Hifi en 2008 lors d’une soirée organisée par Coptic Sound à Lille, puis par Roots Raid en 2010 (ce qui donnera naissance au morceau « Get Out » sur le premier album « From The Top » de Roots Raid, enregistré à Bourges en collaboration avec Ondubground), Mighty Cricket enregistre alors deux titres, « ONE SHEEP » et « JAH KNOW », écrits par Humble I (poète et chanteur rasta – RIP), au studio Coptic Sound.

Cette même année, la version originale de « ONE SHEEP » est enregistrée au Control Tower Studio à Bordeaux, avec Dub Machinist, Sirhill (Control Tower) et I-Tist à la production.
Big up Sirhill !

Les lyrics sont mystiques, et l’interprétation de Mighty Cricket est profondément habitée.

Après avoir tourné pendant des années en dubplate, l’idée de revisiter les instrumentales de ces deux morceaux refait surface.
Roots Raid retravaille « JAH KNOW » (à paraître plus tard cette année), tandis que Dawa Hifi propose un nouveau riddim pour « ONE SHEEP », sur lequel Roots Raid (Natty Bass et Bongo B) viennent poser leurs instruments.

Guitare classique, n'goni, percussions et synthétiseurs analogiques viennent enrichir un pattern électronique brut, soigneusement mixé.
Un morceau à haute teneur méditative, taillé aussi bien pour les plus lourds des sound systems que pour les plus petits walkmans.

Big up to Gilou Mighty Cricket, Humble I, Control Tower crew (Dub Machinist, Sirhill, I-Tist), Lille crew (Nic Coptic, Tomaski, Jericho, Agobun, etc.)

Enjoy the vibes!

  California based artist Roommate (Justin McCauley) has a musical career that can be described as prolific and ever changing. His tireless efforts in both production and DJ'ing have currently brought him to the forefront of the worldwide bass music community. With over a decade of solid DJ'ing and countless original production releases, you can be sure Roommate has secured his title on an international scale. 

Beginning his musical quest with guitar lessons at the age of 11, Roommate has since developed his craft to an undeniable style and fashion by integrating both organic and electronic sounds. After self releasing his first solo album (Dubfunk vol1) in 2003, he quickly gained musical notoriety in the U.S. counter culture. When dubstep first hit the U.S. streets, Roommate was quick to find a love and understanding for the music and began production. Joining forces with L.A. based artist and long time friend No Thing, the two formed another key part of electronic music history; Babylon System. Roommate / Babylon System contributed many of the early U.S. dubstep releases such as "50 Blocks Away"," Examination of Time", and "Loaded" to name a few. After a slew of quality releases, Roommate was sky rocketed into the international limelight. Years of global touring followed with undying passion and intensity at every show. 

Co founding the rip roaring label Hollow Point Recordings with friend and artist SPL was another huge step for Roommate. Gaining confidence from consistent releases, Roommate used Hollow Point to push the boundaries of sound and express his musical tastes. Following Hollow Point, Roommate branched out to create two new musical imprints. King Dubbist and Avocaudio are Roommate's latest forward thinking musical label incarnations. Focusing on huge vibes and stellar production, these labels span from Dubstep to Trip-hop to Jungle to Reggae. Fusing and encompassing Roommate's broad and compelling love for musical freshness. 

Currently, Roommate is still touring avidly all over the world and spreading his custom art everywhere he goes. He is focusing on releasing two full length albums in the near future. His labels and projects will continue to grow and influence the music and art communities for years to come. Roommate's live show never disappoints and always reflects his energy and skill. Get inspired by a true rising artist and check out his other projects: Babylon System (with No Thing), OSC (with Antiserum), and Krttyr (with E Pill).
