Foresta's debut EP will be released on the 28th of February 2014 and will be available as a free download on  Soundcloud and Bandcamp. Since the release of the „Youth Riddim“, Foresta has been working on his own productions, some of which have been released on the albums of various artists over the past couple of years. This time around, he has not entirely distanced himself from a Reggae sound, but rather has found a way to combine it with Soul, Hiphop and jazzy elements. His instruments of choice are rhodes and piano. A number of musical guests graced his home studio where the programmed beats were enhanced with live instruments.  

We now present to you six exclusive songs that will give you an insight into the producer's musical creativity. Foresta, the youngest member of the Urban Tree family, spent the last four months locked up in his home studio to finish his long awaited EP on time for the release date. A number of videos and small activities surrounding the EP are still to come. 

The EP features a  fusion of Hiphop and beats combining Soul, Jazz, Reggae, Dub and Pop. The vocals to be heard here are from artists that hail from precisely these genres, artists that he has met somewhere along on his musical journey through the years or that made it into his humble home studio.   

For his EP Foresta had the pleasure of working with two of the most successful and promising artists in the Jamaican Reggae scene: Kabaka Pyramid and Protoje; Berge belong to the pick of what the German Pop scene has to offer, Foresta's label colleague Simon Grohé  is currently working on his own release „Mamaoerf“; Danny Ranks and Longfingah have both belonged to the German and Austrian Reggae and Dancehall underground scene for decades and have shared their music with crowds on both small and large stages all across Europe; with Benjie - another Urban Tree colleague - he has a veteran of the German dancehall scene on board; Jaqee from Rootdown Records shares her music with her fanbase from Denmark to Germany to France and Uganda.

Cubiculo Records proudly presents its brand new 7” release featuring Subactive (FR) and the veteran singer Mikey Murka (UK/JA)


After the success of the 12” Vinyl / Digital debut EP of Dub Unit featuring Speng Bond, now comes the first 7” Vinyl with this massive riddim from Subactive with the legendary Mikey Murka singing on top of “The Bad Man Riddim”.


Founded in 2010, Subactive is a Strasbourg (France) based sound-system. Amateurs of sharp skanks and  fat bass lines, they produce modern-sounding riddims influenced by digital reggae of the 80s.


The remix from Dreadsquad & Doubla J.on the Polish label “Superfly studio” is the first official release in 2012. In 2013, Subactive is signed on the famous music label Scotch Bonnet and releases its first EP (Frontline EP) in collaboration with singers El Fata & Ranking Levy. They are also the organisers of “DUB SOUNDZ” nights in Strasbourg where they play diferent styles from reggae to stepper making the crowds move using exclusives, dubplates and home-made productions. Subactive has invited many artists such as OBF, Stand High, Mungo's Hifi, Kenny Knots, Vibronics, Disrupt, Riddim Tuffa, El Fata, Dawa Hifi, The Dub Machinist, Weeding Dub, Idren Reality, for the greatest enjoyment of a faithfully present and ever-increasing local audience.


Mikey Murka first came to the attention of reggae fans worldwide way back in the the early 80′s. Having grown up in Jamaica, Mikey moved to London as a teenager & began singing on the legendary Unity Sound. In the height of Reggae’s ‘digital era’ in the 80′s Mikey worked the dancehalls with fellow Unity Sound artists such as Kenny Knotts, Errol Bellot, Selah Collins, Richie Davis, Peter Bouncer, Demon Rocker & Flinty Rankin (the Ragga Twins) performing regularly alongside the likes of Coxsone, Saxon & other top sounds of the day. On stage Mikey has supported artists including Sugar Minott, Mikey General, Tippa Irie, Daddy Freddy & many more. Following Unity Sound’s sucess in the soundsystem circuit, they began releasing records. With them Mikey recorded a series of hit tunes, including anthems such as ‘Control the Dancehall’, ‘We Try’ & perhaps the most well known ‘Ride Pon the Riddim’ which reached top 3 in the reggae charts, earning Mikey international recognition. Countless Mikey Murka tracks appeared on various compilation albums, the most famous of which include Unity Sound’s ‘Watch How The People Dancing’ LP & John Dread’s ‘Jamaica Affair’ Vol 3, where Mikey appears alongside Big Youth & King Kong. After a long break from the game, Mikey returned in 2002 hotter than ever, this time teaming up Kemist Kris of Reality Shock, who persuaded him to relaunch his singing career.

Over the years Prince Blanco and I have done several cover versions - White Stripes, Elvis, Sex Pistols, Beatles and others - this time we decided to drop some reggae on the Lumineers Ho Hey track for fun. Vision = 80s UB40 production... LOL

BONUS: Acoustic version  - closer to the original, we wanted to strip away the reggae-instrumentation and go with a simple acoustic treatment.
