Dub in Style

Generation Again Dub feat. Akae Beka 

Zion I Kings are in a deep dub dimension on Digital Ancient Dub, the third installment in their dub album series. Pushing the classic reggae dub genre with a unique take on dubbing original tracks without vocal drops as well as some with, featuring a cast of renowned artists from the Zion I Kings vaults. This album infuses, live horns, melodica, instrumental solo’s, trippy synths, psychedelic vocal pieces and heavy filtered drum sections akin to electronic dance music, this album creates a unique listening journey for real dub music fans worldwide. Choc full of heavy weight drum and bass grooves tracked spontaneously in the studio as well as a few programmed drum tracks to keep things current and interesting. 
The album kicks of with an epic steppers rhythm on “King Step Dub”, sailing through a strong melodica melody over a driving kick drum and sweeping bass line. Half way through we get down and dirty with the “Mean Streets Dub” pushing you into a back alley with a dark clavinet line and jazzed out octave guitar licks. Finishing off with the two ton “The System Dub” featuring Akae Beka & Pressure vocal drops along with an insane African drum solo laced into the groove.

Black Ark In Dub and Black Ark Volume 2 are two pieces from master reggae and dub producer Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s seemingly limitless musical puzzle, featuring a bedrock of deep rhythm tracks recorded at his iconic Black Ark studio just before its demise. The albums were originally issued on the Black Ark International label, the imprint of Lee Perry’s wife and co-producer/collaborator Pauline “Aisha” Morrison.

Black Ark In Dub features bass heavy, spooky dub deconstructions of Lacksley Castell’s “Jah Love Is Sweeter,” Carole Cole and Aisha Morrison’s “Ethiopia,” Lee Perry’s “Lion A De Winner,” Watty Burnett’s “Open The Gate,” George Faith’s “Guideline,” and Danny Hensworth’s “Mr. Money Man,” along with an embellished dub version of Ras Keatus I’s “Dreadlocks I” and the much sought “Guidance,” a Jah Shaka Sound System staple, exclusive to this album. 

Black Ark Vol. 2 is more vocal oriented, featuring extended dub mixes of Carol Cole’s “Ethiopia,” The Originals “Got To Be Irie,” Junior Byles “Mumbling & Grumbling” and The Inamans remake of the Bee Gees hit “How Deep Is your Love,” along with an alternate take of the Silvertones roots classic “Give Thanks” (with a flute overdub), as well as a couple of excellent covers from Third World lead vocalist Bunny Rugs. 

The 19 track CD and digital version of the release is expanded with the vocal cut of Lacksley Castell’s “Jah Love,” and the CD deluxe packaging includes a 1,500 word contextual essay from Lee Perry biographer David Katz. This reissue preserves the edits and tape splicing of the original releases.

"Guidance" will be issued on single for the first time on a one-sided 45 r.p.m. picture disc for Record Store Day UK, August 29, 2020.
