Now on the seventeenth release of forward thinking UK Reggae & Dub music, Reggae Roast are going from strength to strength with many underground hits under their belt already in 2013. This release definitely follows suit, having already done the rounds on dubplate for many months and set alight dances all over the world. They’ve signed up one of the top up and coming UK producers, Adam Prescott, and one of the top mic men on the scene, Charlie P. On remix duty they’ve drawn for the vanguard of dub, Iration Steppas, and digikal stalwart, Tradesman.

With this double A-side release Reggae Roast have lined up two heavy hitting bubblers built to test any soundsystem. ‘Lazy Man’ is a contemporary steppas reimagining of the stone cold classic ‘My Conversation’ by the late, great Slim Smith which is accentuated by Charlie P’s take on the advantages of being Lazy in modern day Britain. ‘Stand Firm’ on the flipside is a slice of ruff & tuff Rootstep with conscious lyrics from Charlie P alongside weighty bass assault and a hard rhythm section from Adam Prescott it’s a stark contrast to ‘Lazy Man’.

Straight outta Nottingham, Adam Prescott has been mashing up dances for many years now combining a crucial selection of dubplates and his own varied productions, which are always steeped in Roots music and Soundsystem culture. Having remixed some of the biggest names in Reggae & Dub such as Mungo’s Hi-Fi, Iration Steppas, Part2Style, Alpha Steppa, Radikal Guru, Vibration Lab and many, many more over the course of his career he has been finally let loose on a Reggae Roast extended player.

Charlie P hardly needs any introduction, however if you have been living under a rock for the past few years he has worked with pretty much everyone worth their salt within the modern day Dub circuit, such as Mungo’s Hi-Fi, Dubateers, Solo Banton, Part2Style to name but a few. Constantly touring the world and smashing Dancehalls on a regular basis Charlie shows no sign of slowing down, add to that he has just finished his second LP produced by none other than Scotland’s finest, Mungo’s Hi-Fi

In the Soundsystem game for over 20 years Mark Iration, one half of Iration Steppas (with Dennis Rootical), has been instrumental in the massive resurgence of Dub music over the past few years. Having set up the legendary Subdub sessions (alongside Outlook Festival’s Simon Scott) to showcase the mighty Iration Steppas Soundsystem, Mark is one of the most in-demand selectors on the scene. As a supporter of Adam’s work Mark has been playing his ‘Year 3000 Dub’ of ‘Lazy Man’ at nuff sessions across the world to sell out audiences. With another busy year planned hot off the back of their new LP ‘Iration Steppas Meets Tena Stelin in the Dub Arena’ Mark and the rest of the crew deserve their place at the top of the Soundsystem league. 

Hailing from Leeds, Tradesman has been exposed to a hot bed of musical activity, more importantly Soundsystem culture, for a number of years. He is a resident at one of Subdub’s more underground offshoots, Dancehall Science, and regularly supports some of the most exciting artists in Dub music today playing sets where the majority of the tunes are his own productions. This has, in turn, led to Scotch Bonnet (Mungo’s Hi-Fi imprint) snapping up his debut release with Parly B, ‘Inna Competition’ which gained support from some of the scene’s top players and took Tradesman’s ruffneck digital sound international. 

Reggae Roast is building a formidable catalogue featuring some of the most exciting artists in the UK and beyond. Key players in the resurgence of the UK Roots scene over the past 5 years, they are a leading light in the new generation of dub music. Setting them apart from the crowd is their ruff n tuff remixes giving the label a unique cross over appeal. Look out for plenty more releases in the coming months from the likes of Dubmatix, Vibration Lab, Ed West, Parly B and many more.

Born Obey Makamure and popularised as Tocky Vibes. He is a Kambuzuma based upcoming artist in the Zimdancehall genre and in Contemporary Music.

After an initial struggle to get a recording deal, Tocky’s talent was eventually spotted and little had he known that this humble beginning would see him shoot to fame. The single ‘Ngoma Dzonaka‘ on the Zimbo Flavour Riddim is one of the songs to set the tempo and start a trail of chart-making hits. Since then, Tocky has established himself as a force to be reckoned with through recording successive hit singles calminating in a singles collection album.

His other hit songs include ‘Batai Homwe‘ warning people to stay alert of those with sticky fingers or risk getting pick pocketed. Amongst other recordings is ‘Mhai‘ which was mainly influenced by his brother in law and produced by Dj Fydale at Mdada Studios. ‘Mhai‘ is an expression of the deepest gratitude to a mother for good upbringing. The song is filled with utterances of assurance to never forget the motherhood challenges.

‘Ndazokundikana‘ translating to ‘I have given in’ is a controversial song about a sister-in-law who lures her husband’s brother into bed and conscience forces him into a confession. He pleads not to be sent to the village. Controversial because such matters are not discussed openly in the Zimbabwean culture as they are considered ‘dirty laundry’ which must never come out in the public.

Tocky Vibes then went on to record other sensational hits like ‘Chii Nemi‘(What’s Wrong With You), ‘Ndini Ndinorira‘(I am the one who gets playtime) . His most recent tunes include ‘Handityi‘ and the inspirational ‘Usakande mapfumo pasi‘ which translates to ‘never give up’.

Tocky Vibes sings about day to day life issues and his lyrics are hard to resist and uplifting. The height of maturity in his lyrics was undisputed in ‘Dziripo Hama‘, a song which creates a somber atmosphere through contemplation of the fate of the departed kindred. He goes deeper in his lyrics to lighten the plight of the dead by highlighting the predicament faced by the living who are still yet to face their death.

Tocky is promising ‘Tocky fans’ of plans to take Tocky music to a wholly new level by establishing a live playing band which will give fans a real spin for their money.
