"Life No Easy" [Pomegranate Sounds] Minimix

Live & direct, vibes in full effect:

From our appearance in support of Bart's Record Shop's 26th Anniversary - a collaboration with KGNU Community Radio - the Pomegranate Hi Fi crew (The Groove Thief & Scotty McD) joined by a mysterious deejay guest run the wicked "Late Night Blues" riddim!

TGT re-styles the killer "Hard Times" before Scotty McD's "Rise Up" sits ever so nicely on the Bass Culture Players relick, "Suffer & Cry Version." Then comes a conscious deejay take, literally direct off the street, by our anonymous guest. The poignant "Perilous Times" wraps up this snapshot from the 5-hour session of rootikal dub on Sept. 17, 2017.

1. Ranking Dread - Hard Times
2. Bass Culture Players - Suffer & Cry Version
3. Scotty McD [@scotty-mcd-1] - Rise Up
4. ? - Rise Up (Freestyle)
5. Bass Culture Players meets Brother Wildman - Perilous Times

"Pomegranate pedicures sadly unavailable..."

Pomegranate Hi Fi - "Rise Up" [Live]

Wanted to share another few tunes from our appearance in support of Bart's Record Shop's 26th Anniversary - a collaboration with KGNU Community Radio! On this three-riddim medley, the Pomegranate Hi Fi crew (The Groove Thief & Scotty McD) control the vibes in an irie style!

In Colorado? We'd love to play your next event - please get in touch!

Scotty McD [@scotty-mcd-1] handles both vocal and melodica duties for a dubby update of the classic "Exodus," before Hunab's "Burn Out" gets re-approached over the Beast Riddim. After TGT drops that original vocal, then the heavyweight Binghi Version arrives to provide a crucial platform for "Bright Fire" - check the lyrics. On the same riddim comes a wicked Daddy Shark tune to wrap up this snapshot from the 5-hour session of rootikal dub on Sept. 17, 2017.

1. Tackhead - Exodus (Victor Rice Dub)
2. Dub Breakah - Beast Riddim
3. Babylonbuster - The Beast (Dub Breakah Remix)
4. Twilight Circus (ft. Skully) - Binghi Version
5. Twilight Circus (ft. Daddy Shark) - Earth Foundation

Pomegranate Hi Fi - "Exodus" -> "Burn Out" -> "Bright Fire" Medley [Live]

When The Groove Thief is joined by Scotty McD [@scotty-mcd-1] for some riddims, it's always in a proper Pomegranate stylee!

From the recent "A Pomegranate Session" (February 25, 2018), presented by Pomegranate Sounds & held at Seventh Circle Music Collective, here's original vocal "No Cure" on a Mungo's Hi Fi re-cut of the Diseases Riddim.

In Colorado? We'd love to play your next event - please get in touch!

Worth The Weight

Under-appreciated cuts abound, with crucial vocals from Barry Biggs and The Viceroys leading into the dub wisdom of "Death To All Racists." A recently unearthed Barry Brown tune and dub follow, before reverences from son (Noel) and father (Alton) Ellis. "Struggle" keeps the combination of a funky groove with a potent message going, before The Viceroys return, setting up the closing number from Stranger Cole - hope you enjoy this sixth installment.
