After their debut album ”African Step”, promising Reggae and Dub artists Toroki & Isayah present their brand new album ”Symbol of 1000 Thoughts” together with their studio family! It was produced over the last two years – Toroki took his time to make progress instead of recreating something that he has already done – be it musical or sound – and mixing-wise. The album is versatily packed with 18 tunes, of which only two are dub versions. The sound of fat basslines, energetic drums and atmospheric melodies invite to a unique journey: From saturated and rough Roots Reggae over modern HipHop influences to really heavy and deep electronic Steppers Dub. 

”Symbol of 1000 Thoughts” is about reinvention, gaining perspective and making progress towards a positive society. It’s no surprise that Isayah of course did a lot of vocals on the project, but all the artists that Toroki works together with regularly – the studio family – are part of the album: PiyaZawa on flute, Dantey and Ical Ises on vocals. The energetic vocalists Awa Fall, Fitta Warri and Wortfetzen are featured as special guests. Last but not least it also includes instrumental tunes to enjoy some deep dub diving. Toroki, Isayah and all participating artists proof impressively what they are capable of.

Toroki – music producer and internationally touring performer. 
He became a Soundsystem activist from the moment that he discovered the culture with the aim to support the movement of Dub music with all his power. Being a musician since he was a child he now produces heavy Dub music in his own studio in a unique and very versatile style. Just after showing a few of his first productions to the local scene he quickly became part of Stepwise Records, where he is able to manage his own releases. Also, he is working together with many different labels, such as Dandelion Soundsystem’s New Flower Records and Jah Chalice Records.

A big foundation of Toroki’s work is the collaboration with very experienced MC Isayah, who is not only singing on almost every tune he creates but also is an important part of the live shows they perform. He is also working closely together and is playing shows with virtuoso flutist PiyaZawa, singer Dantey and always welcomes other singers and instrumentalists in his productions.

Apart from being a musician with heart and soul, he is part of the organizing team of Rootsbase at world famous Fusion Festival and is running a sound system.
