Tune I wrote with some snippets from a Lee Perry interview.

"Music is the Only Comforter.
I'm telling you the truth man,
From my computer room, room of truth..
The Ark of the Covenant."

Peace, y'all! I led off this week's episode with some dope sounds, including a previously untitled & unreleased track from MF DOOM & MADLIB, f/Mr. Fantasic! Got into some heavy dub from King Tubby and Lee 'Scratch' Perry, RIP to those legends as well. My brother Ahk dropped a dope set as per usual, but also got very personal about his experience at the Erykah Badu/Yaasin Bey show in Detroit last week, so be sure to check this episode out! Be well and spread love, people! - Mela9

Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA. High Pressure aka JTS has been deejaying for almost 25 years now. Playing selections of jungle, drum and bass, dub and roots reggae along with some of his own dub and reggae productions. He used to help run FUZZ, a weekly DNB night in Pittsburgh from 2004 to 2014 where he opened for numerous headliners like LTJ Bukem, LSB, SPY, etc..
Currently operating a Roots Reggae event series in Pittsburgh called "Roots Sessions" playing Roots and Dub from his vast vinyl collection.

I once had a dream that transported me beyond the realms of reality. Imagine soaring through the sky, perched upon a fluffy cloud, engaged in vibrant conversation with Bob Marley. It was in that moment of surreal clarity that I realized something profound—I hadn't yet shared my deepest passion: my music. Thus, I made a resolute decision to unveil the culmination of years of dedication and artistic investment stored within my laptop.

Hailing from the picturesque French Alps, my journey in music began back in 1998, amidst the captivating sounds of Riva Hifi and Reverse Side Sound. Over the years, I've evolved into a versatile artist—a selector with an eclectic collection of records, a DJ adept in the rub-a-dub style, and a skilled dub maker. Beyond music, I express myself as a drawer, a painter, and a digital graphic artist.

Crafting my compositions involves a symphony of talents—I wield the bass and guitar, orchestrate intricate drum sequences, and meticulously refine each track through digital mixing and mastering. My creative palette draws inspiration from a diverse array of musical luminaries including Lee Scratch Perry, Beastie Boys, Mad Professor, Bad Brains, and the legendary Bob Marley. Yet, it's the camaraderie with my peers, such as Soul Doctor and Mineral K, that enriches my musical perspective.

Despite facing the challenge of deafness, my sonic sensibilities remain razor-sharp, infusing each note with palpable intensity and emotion. In live sessions, the essence of Reverse Side productions comes to life, as we unveil a repertoire brimming with original songs, dubs, and bespoke productions.

My journey has intertwined with the trajectories of both modern icons and revered legends in the realms of reggae and hip-hop. Sharing stages with luminaries like Afu Ra, General Levy, and Queen Omega, I've traversed continents, leaving an indelible mark on audiences worldwide. Collaborating with esteemed sound systems, I've embraced the ethos of Words, Sound, Power—ready to ignite hearts and minds with the transcendent force of music.

So, as I continue to dream and manifest my visions into reality, I invite you to join me on this exhilarating voyage—a journey where reverie meets innovation, and where every beat resonates with the promise of boundless possibility.
