Reservoir Dub is happy to release a compilation of tunes composed and mixed by the french dubmaker Gary Clunk. This album is called “Archives of Dub vol.3” and includes 6 tunes + the 6 dub versions. Those Archives of Dub are a picture of a period : the tracks were mixed between 2015 and 2020… 100% stepper style! The first two volumes has been successfully released through the labels “French Dub Released” and “ODG Prod”.

He’s also involved in several projects like The Subvivors and was playing in the band Uptown Rebel a few years ago. His live dub spirit was mostly inspired by Improvisators Dub and Manutension.

Hummingbird & Ras Soto - Better Days - Culture Dub Records CDRNET073

-----------------------------------------------------------

C'est du côté du Japon que vous entraine le label Culture Dub Records pour sa 73ème release en Free Download avec une production made in Tokyo signée Mizuki Akutsu, aka Hummingbird, un pur stepper dynamique sur lequel le chanteur Ras Solo originaire du Mozambique vient louer Jah Rastafari pour de meilleurs lendemains, suivi d'une version Dub taillée pour les Sound Systems puissants... Du Dub mais bien plus encore, une preuve que le mélange est une richesse, qu’il soit musical ou humain !

C’est bien dans le Dub des origines et dans ses techniques de studio que Mizuki Akutsu puise son inspiration pour son projet solo Hummingbird ! Chercheur de son, avec la soif de l’expérimentation, le producteur japonais participe à plusieurs projets du côté de Tokyo au Japon. Il est illustrateur sonore dans le Duo Pers avec Kai Mike et participe entre autres au projet Wardrobes : « Musique x Mode x Culture » !

Mizuki Akutsu délivre des productions avec une touche bien à lui, une touche « Tokyo-style » ! Ses compositions sont à coup sur à base de Dub mais il les fait évoluer dans des contrées Electro Bass Music, percutantes et militantes, tels sa série "Blind For Dub" débuté en 2018 produit sous le nom Hummingbird ! Le producteur Tokyoïte emmène notre style de prédilection vers de nouveaux horizons, décomplexé, armé d’une expérience et d’un talent certain...

Originaire de Maputo au Mozambique mais habitant du côté du Brésil, Ras Soto, petit génie du mic, signe son premier titre à l’age de 9 ans avant de se dévouer à la cause Rasta et de louer Jah sur des versions Reggae, Dancehall, Raggamuffin ou Dub... Artiste versatile, chantant en différentes langues, il a produit plusieurs albums avant de sortir des chansons aux côtés de Hummingbird ou sur le label Fat Bird Recordings entres autres !

Music composed, arranged and mixed by: Hummingbird
Lyrics by: Ras Soto
Mastered by: Dub Machinist

KUNDALINI lyrics

When the serpent it ah climb up my spine I
Make me feel alright
When the serpent it arise and the chakra dem alight I
Make me feel alright
 
Ahhh 2x
Kundalini is African
7 powers African
It’s the dark light African
 
Chango is the first chakra passion of the world
Ruling over the body and the physical world
First man enlightened plant the seeds and make it whirl
Over the world 
Power of intention my desire fire burns
Richness and prosperity in life and in the urn
Goal is to lift up and enlighten all the world
Over the world

Fuel for the fire needs Yemaya
Mother of Orishas I admire 
First rocket blast so we aspire
Yes we respire
And we inspire 
Sexual energy pure fire
Endless combination she inspire
Powerful like when Iman perspire
Iman respire
Iman aspire
 
On to Ogun
Like a dog need a bone
Vital powers gravity and more
To the top ah so we go and never roam
Never roam
Oshun yeah
Big red tank 
Full of love 
Greatest yeah
Is the highest energy 
I can feel as a man
At the top Obatala
Beg we transcend the human form
Once at the apex Eshu Ele Elegba
Looking down there see the Earth way down below ya
See the moon and sun galaxies all out here Iyah
All out here, all out here Iyah 
Now I feel the mids and I feel now the tweeter
Feel the bass and the rumbling of the speaker box Iyah
Perfectly aligned to the music of the spheres
All unno no hear
Rasta hear

Fikir Amlak & King Alpha - Kundalini dub plate cuts

In loving memory of the late great Michael "Prophet" Haynes (1957 - 2017)

The Roots Defender Band had the privilege to work close with Prophet for several stage shows and recording sessions in Italy and Europe; an experience never to be forgotten.

This tribute track was arranged, played and recorded by the Roots Defenders at the Satta Studio, Italy, a few weeks after Prophet's bodily departure. A one-shot live reggae rockers piece as a tribute for one of the greatest reggae artists. 

We later took the tracks to Mad Professor to get the proper Ariwa treatment. Now completed, the tribute has been uploaded today 03/03/2019, which would have been Prophet's 62nd earthday. 

Rest in Power.

This song explains what happened in Nantes when the police comes to stop a party on the dock, and caused the death of Steve Caniço, 24 years old.
That was the 21st of June 2019. His body has been found one month later. The investigation announced that the intervention of the police had nothing to do with the death of the young man.
The song is free, download it if you want and spread the message all around...
