Lyrics by Ras Tinny:

Again Again Again Again Again
Again Again I tell Farage and al dem friend
From 100 million miles away they traveling
The foreign lights that keep you vibrating

I say again Nigel Farage and all you friend
Know that your roots ah down ah Africa again
Know that your roots ah down ah Russia and Chechen
Down from the mountains in Romania and then
Just that Romanians could be your origin
Iyah sing
Don't you know migration ah di trend
From the mystic to the poor and suffering 
Inna one agenda all the seafaring
yo mi sing

Again Again Again Again Again
Again Again I tell Farage and al dem friend
From 100 million miles away they traveling
The foreign lights that keep you vibrating

I say again Nigel Farage and all you friend
You can not stop the birds from spreading out their wings
And cross the borders for the over wintering
Cause in the fall I saw the frozen spring
Flow down the mountain down the river travelling
Seeds in the wind I see them free blowing
And every farmer wants his seed sowin
But inna Africa we all foundin
See't deh again

Again Again Again Again Again
Again Again I tell Farage and al dem friend
From 100 million miles away they traveling
The foreign lights that keep you vibrating

They say the photons from the surface of the Sun
travel inna 8 minute and 20 some seconds 
from Sun to Earth.
I seh a thousand some well done
This one to travellers I don't care where your from
cead mile failte means a thousand some welcome in Irielan'
Tinny seh a thousand some welcome a Suriname
All Caribbean we seh we all ah African
Arawak and Taino know we all ah African
Inna Irelan' we know we all ah African
Even in Londan dem know dem all ah African
Sing along if you know that we all ah African

Scotch Bonnet Records revels in the sheer breadth of reggae and dancehall for their second daringly diverse Puffers Choice compilation. Following the success of 2016’s volume 1, the label arm of Glasgow’s Mungo’s HiFi has selected more cream cuts from their globe-trotting link-ups
 
celebrating sound system culture. Once again, each track comes vetted and endorsed by the Scotch Bonnet team as prime examples of their work.
The album starts with the beguiling, mellow tones of late great Rasta singer Bim Sherman. Lightning and Thunder is a Mungo’s remix of a vocal supplied by master producer/engineer Adrian Sherwood. Next up is French collective Subactive’s aquatic dub imagining of Follow Me by UK Garage/Grime project Wolves, featuring the voice of Bo* Johnson.
Another veteran revisits his past when hypnotic Jamaican deejay Supercat straddles Chief Rockas’ update of the classic Gunshot riddim for a reprise of “the Don Dada’s” 1982 hit Dance Inna New York. The vibes then travel bang up to date with a sparse Mungo’s fix of ethereal singer-songwriter Nem’s 2017 eco-breakout Purest Force.
Jamaican chanter Isha Bel pays tribute to her faith and follicles during Locks, given a belly-battering bass blend by Aquarius. The A side closes with a continuation of the Rasta theme. General Jah Mikey, channelling Burning Spear for his own Ites Green and Gold, rides a deft digital riff by bald-head New Zealand-based super-producer Naram.
The B side kicks off with a meeting of reggae’s finest from the city of Leeds. Danny T and Tradesman build an industrial-strength base for anti-violence lament Up Deh: a rare vocal outing from Iration Steppas’ Mark Iration. Then it’s time for Poland’s Dreadsquad to ease the pressure with swinging one- drop vibraphone instrumental Space.
JA meets “Glasgae” for Feel Good, an uplifting collab between Jamaican singer Skari and Scottish producer Escape Roots. Fans of Prince Fatty covering Kraftwork on the previous comp will rate vintage reggae voice Earl Sixteen, wrapping his pristine pipes around Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart, helmed hauntingly by Capitol 1212.
Scotch Bonnet’s own Thomas Stalawa gets everyone marching to a beat inspired by Steely and Clevie’s Dem Bow, as dangerous Spanish emcee Ponchita Peligros demands all in attendance Run the Calypso. The album ends with a request from un-categorisable Israeli collective Trillion featuring General G that puffers choose wisely - via anti-cigarette missive No Nicotine.
The Scotch Bonnet crew think you’ll agree: Puffers Choice volume 2 continues the bass-heavy balance of budding and seasoned performers, from “yard and abroad”. It’s another outer-national reggae and dancehall party you’ll pull up and play, again and again.

Paul Dickow AKA Strategy is a musical polymath with a signature sound derived from his immersion in hardware-based electronic music.  He has spent close to two decades traveling freely through house, techno, rave, noise, ambient, and sounds more difficult to categorize.  Strategy’s sound is inimitable because it is literally built by hand - his hands.  Through all of this sonic journeying, including multiple full length releases, a constant has been his love of reggae and dub, yet somehow a proper dub album has never emerged - until now.  

After two much-loved 7” singles on ZamZam - to say nothing of dubwise excursions on Idle Hands, Shockout, Peak Oil, 100% Silk and more - “Dub Mind Paradigm” is the fulfillment of a clear, simple goal.  "I set out to make a full set of dub tracks good enough to make an album -- something that had always eluded me-- and it worked, finally. A simple exercise in seeing if we could launch the capsule to orbit Planet Reggae and make it home again.”  

Reaching Planet Reggae, the album explores analog caverns of dubwise at all tempos, from the 80s to 140, full of the ghosts of ancient and future technologies, glimmering shards of hope among heaps of folly, ruin and rubble.  Music fans with crates deeper than the contemporary will find shades of Wackies, Firehouse, Unity Sound, Burial Mix and more, but only winks and nods… no one sounds like Strategy, and Strategy sounds like no one.  

Worldwide release 22 June 2018.  Mastered by Sam Precise.  Art & design by Polygon Press.  Distributed by Unearthed Sounds UK.  Limited to 700 vinyl LPs - no repress, no digital.
