The Kif Kif Riddim [West Coast Studios - 2014]

And biggup Saj Moor and his West Coast Studios imprint from out of Morocco for their latest release, the Kif Kif Riddim. WCS is interesting and every time you hear from them they're pushing compelling works and this time, which may be their first riddim compilation (to date I always recall them focusing on singles), is no different. The old-school-ish and very familiar Kif Kif Riddim is outstanding and Moor and co. have turned it over to some truly talented vocalists. Like who???! Check Perfect Giddimani espousing on one of his most dear subjects on 'Just An Ounce Ounce', Belizean dynamo Ras Indio with 'Plant Di Corn', and the woefully under-recorded and underrated Arkaingelle with 'Rastaman Ah Chant'. Luv Fyah, Binghi Ghost and Fikir Amlak (especially Amlak with the infectious 'Hi Grade'). Unsurprisingly, however, to my opinion it is WCS staple, Ras Attitude, who gives the Kif Kif its biggest highlight with 'Green Gold Rush'.

BLACK REDEMPTION - music & mix by Mighty Massa @ DubCreationStudio, JPN - lyrics by F. Miranda (A) - E. Dacres (B) - vox by Sista Zari - executive producer Ras Kush - distributed by Lion’s Den - artwork by Martin Engelbogen - mastered by Star Delta Mastering - All rights reserved. © + ℗ 2019 Kush Art Pub


With this release Black Redemption presents a travel back in time to the year 1977 and offers a fresh take on two roots classics.
Side A holds a roaring relick of the famous anthem ’Prophecy’ by Fabian Miranda, while on side B the needle reveals an uptempo version of the well known Everton Dacres tune ‘Jah Jah Come’. Both come to new life with these unique reinterpretations by Sista Zari from Mexico on vocal duties and Mighty Massa from Japan on production. Classic material reconstructed with a distinctive touch and sound, including some dub excursions to make the musical journey complete…
Both sides were transferred to 1/2inch Tape for extra analogue warmth, and mastered and cut with care by Star Delta / Delta Disc, UK.

“People, heed the call
Our backs are now against the wall
Our backs are now against the wall
There is no redemption in sight
Until we people have our rights
Curfew fever burn through the night
Babylon won't sleep tonight…”

Feedback:

Puuulll UP! More ace sounds coming straight from the heart of Europe via JA! Dreadsquads blends and Radikal Guru's remix of 'Caravan' have been on JSTAR DJ rotation and now comes more wickedness out of the musical fire!!!!
J*Star / London, UK

Dreadsquad brings some nice vibes to the dancefloor with this fresh remake of answer riddim and the collaboration of Ward21 making an ode to the reggae musicality. On B side Lady Chann put reality lyrics over an up-tempo and skanking rhythm proving there is some intelligent life in dancehall still. Well done production by Dreadsquad and remixes by many guests keep the same level. 
Marcus MPC / DigitalDubs / Brazil

Slick as ever productions from the Dreadsquad camp - uplifting vibes that will nice up any dance, with a deadly selection of remixes to boot.
Ben Menter / Mr Benn aka Mr Blennd / Bristol, UK

Many thanks Dreadsquad - heavy sounds!! I think the Turntable Dubbers mix will get the most plays from me - really nice vibe on it. The Pixel mix of the Ward 21 tune is pure Old Skool jungle too - love it!! 
Jon Sheppard / DJ Shepdog / Nice Up! Records / London, UK

It's a bashment skank thing! Lady Chann on fire as ever.  Great to hear Ward 21 in a jungle style. Real jump up party track.

Ward 21 (Kingston / Jamaica)  is a group of four creative, lyrical and multi-talented individuals, consisting of musicians, engineers, sound system operators and producers who had a sound and approach to music unlike anything heard at the time. 

It was legendary music producer King Jammy himself, that had the insight and saw the potential in these young men from Waterhouse. He brought Mark Mean Dog Henry, Andre Suku Gray, Ranaldo Rumblood Evans and Kunley McCarthy together and gave them a platform to express themselves musically. They called the group, Ward 21, subsequently the name of the Psychiatric Ward at The University Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica. 

The group has since gone on to creating many number one hits like Haters , Rhyme, No Apologies, and Garrsion among countless others. They have toured extensively world wide, sold many records, gained thousands of dedicated fans globally and have acclaimed international success and recognition for their work. 


Lady Chann (London / UK) has been part of North West London’s vibrant Suncycle crew since it’s conception, and now she's branching out alone, and bringing her unique talent to a wider audience.

Well schooled in reggae music from an early age by her soundman father, the rhythms of Studio One, Trojan and Treasure Isle soundtracked her childhood. Chanelle’s mother recognised her keen musical interest from an early age and encouraged her to take up piano, flute, trombone, french horn and even the drums, alongside the singing lessons that set her on the path.

Fast forward to 2009 and Chann has been deep in the studio with some of the UK's hottest producers, working on tracks for her debut album. She worked with South Rakkas, Todla T, Warrior One and Sticky.

Live, Lady Chann is a force to be reckoned with. Having served her apprenticeship as part London's premier dancehall crew she is a true microphone controller, her husky voice and trademark flow setting her apart from the pack, and tearing up the hottest clubs across the UK and beyond. 


Dreadsquad (Lodz / Poland) is a project aimed at expanding Jamaican culture. They played hundreds of parties in Poland, all around Europe (Portugal, England, Scotland, Holland, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania) also in USA and Canada (NY, Miami, Chicago, Toronto).

Their sets, mixed on 2 gramophones, are fusion of dancehall, mash ups, ragamuffin, reggae with some electronic influences. Except playing parties they produce music as well. 

As far they have released 4 mixtapes,  2 full-length producers albums, one 12” single (Caravan Remixes)  and two 12” vinyl records with their mash ups and remixes (PLay that Blend) which you can find in record cases of Djs such as J Star, Upstate Rockers, Mr Blennd or Daddy G [Massive Attack]. Two of their mash ups were bootlegged and released as 7” single.
