BSD - You Must Find Strength

Helktram : Sounz  -FreeDL-

SS027: The first 45 in our ltd edition sound system vinyl series specially designed for selectors: “Jah is Coming” is a bass charging 140BPM rootical dubwise UK steppers style cut on Side A inspired by classic Roots Radics and Scientist productions at Channel One in Jamaica in the late 70s. NYC’s Subatomic Sound System & Washington DC’s Thomas Blondet reimagined the vibes for 2014 using a balance of analog and digital production that keeps DJs and global sound system culture in mind, inspired by the high energy spiritual steppers reflips of reggae anthems popularized by conscious sound legends like Jah Shaka. The tune has been a staple dubplate in Subatomic Sound System DJ sets on tours worldwide over the past two years and is sound system tested with subsonic sine wave bass and peak time jackhammer drums guaranteed to smash the dancehall. Though heavy on the reggae, the tempo makes it DJ friendly for roots minded dubstep selectors to easily flip into their sets as well.

“Dubbing on the Moon” on the B side is a pulsing roots dub driven by a thunderous bassline built on Subatomic Sound System’s original reggae rockers riddim “Our Father, Our King” produced and dubbed in a Jamaican style that nods heavily to the masterful Scientist “Curse of the Vampires” era dubs from Channel One Studio. The riddim is the basis for several Subatomic Sound System tunes including “Our Father, Our King (Middle East dub)” (based on the traditional tune Avinu Malkeinu) and their relick of the big tune by The Police “Walking on The Moon”, both of which are incorporated in this version. Amon of Analog Players Society is on percussion & Rhiannon on vocals.

Subatomic Sound System & Thomas Blondet "Jah is Coming" 45 vinyl mix

Happy Halloween!  On "Black Ark Vampires" Lee "Scratch" Perry & Subatomic Sound System have crafted a throbbing sound-man tune propelled by subsonic bass, bubbling skanks, and pulsing beats that balance the murky and mystical vibes of Perry’s classic Jamaican dub reggae recordings with the flammable energy and bass vibrations of current electronic music, fine tuning a recipe that they have slow cooked throughout their last four years of U.S. tours spreading authentic dub to a new generation in places like Coachella, Dub Champions Festival, and Red Bull Music Academy. Lyrically the track features Perry’s most focused lyrics in a decade, a poignant oath of vengeance against the vampires that corrupted the ark of the covenant and forced him to burn down his famed Black Ark studio, told in comical rhymes that echo the cadence of a Dr. Seuss story coupled with the morbidity of Edgar Allan Poe, promising the details of where, when, and how he will kill these vampires, from Kingston to London to New York City and everywhere; vampires beware; he will kill them with his hair, with fire, with electric wire, and even with roast corn. Melodically the tune packs soaring vampire hooks, spiritual vocal choirs, groaning melodica bursts, and even a few lines from dancehall vocalist Jahdan Blakkamoore, produced and recorded by Emch at his Subatomic Sound laboratory in NYC. Scratch’s vocals were recorded in Brooklyn at the Hook Studio after an NYC performance with the production assistance of On-U Sound’s legendary Adrian Sherwood, producer of some of Perry’s finest post-Jamaica recordings. The session was filmed by a Dubspot video crew after a long drive through NYC during which Perry recounted the better part of his life story as a warm up for the session.

At the age of 78, Lee "Scratch" Perry has built a life based as much on his fame as a reggae and dub inventor who exhibited boundless creativity and innovation in music composition and production, as he has on his reputation as a madman with playful wit, a propensity for lighting things on fire, a natural mystical spirituality that he famously introduced to Bob Marley, and his defiant individuality and commitment to personal freedom. "Black Ark Vampires" brilliantly ties together these divergent characteristics to create classic Lee "Scratch" Perry material on all levels.

Perry loves to dance and loves dancehall. His nickname actually comes from the name of dance he invented called Chicken Scratch. During his tours with Subatomic Sound System, Scratch had a voracious appetite for hearing new sounds and was interested in the "Vampires & Informers" dubstep track Subatomic Sound System had produced for dancehall vocalist Elephant Man. Perry began performing on the riddim live which led to developing the lyrics for Black Ark Vampires and Subatomic developing a riddim for Perry that captured his vibes. Though Perry is known for seldom giving straight answers and many have wondered if he really burned down the Black Ark studio, Emch from Subatomic Sound System says that one night after performing a show in California, he and percussionist Larry McDonald, a Black Ark studio veteran, were talking backstage when Scratch told them the reasons for his own longevity: "Stress will kill you. That’s why I had to burn down the Black Ark." He said the popularity of the studio had attracted the vampires who came to suck him dry and corrupted the magic of Black Ark, but rather than let that slowly destroy him like a cancer, he chose to close the book on that chapter of his life and move on by torching the studio and making an exodus to the UK leaving the vampires with nothing but the ashes.

THE ARTISTS: Grammy winning reggae and dub inventor Lee "Scratch" Perry is a living legend, one of Jamaica’s most prolific producers and a true original with a spirit that has defined and influenced countless artists across genres and generation, decades of great Jamaican artists from Bob Marley to Max Romeo, punk rockers The Clash, The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, The Orb, The Beastie Boys, Paul McCartney, Kode9, and the list goes on. At 78 he continues to tour, record, and paint incessantly.

Dope track off our 2nd album "Fresh out the Box"

02 Fresh Out The Box

Our first album, Malditos Bass-Star-Dos! (Which will be released next November 1st under our own label, Mental Machine Muzik), is the work of several months in which we have tried to capture our open minds and our obsession with attractive sounds. To present this project, we have created 10 new tracks, which will be accompanied by another 8 tunes published under iBreaks Records label, forming a compilation full of variety with a predominance of Breaks genre.  

In this album you will find tracks clearly influenced by the purest Elektro-Breaks of the early decade ("EBM", "Elektro-Life"); casual and fresh sounds characteristic of Tech-Funk ("Joe Jacks”, "Overestimate", "Hard 'n' Bass", etc.); Oldskool impressive percussions ("Total Cucumber"); as well as tracks inspired by Bassline and NuSkool Breaks predominant in the UK ("Everybody Scream", "You Must Find Strength").

In addition, we wanted to honor one of our sources of inspiration in this adventure in Breaks music, as in the case of "Party Groove", a production subtitled as "Breaks Phenomenon" honoring the NuSkool Breaks classic "TSUNAMI ONE & BT : Hip Hop Phenomenon [Marine Parade] 1999."

You will also find in "Malditos Bass-Star-Dos!" some of the recent hits of these French masked guys, like "Hypnotizin", "You Must Find Strength", "Compute", "Get Hype On This", "Funkdation", ...

After a successful debut album, here comes the second part of the series “Malditos BONUS TRAXXX!” which includes two totally original tracks that were not included in the album “Malditos BASS-STAR-DOS!”

On this occasion BSD offers, on one side, a very danceable Tech-House tune that grabs you from the first kick. We're talking about “Oojah-Cum-Spiff”. A gripping sub-bass introduces you in a harmonious minimalist universe, a universe of jazz twists, of crazy drums. A universe that doesn’t need any more else to keep you dancing, expressing, feeling, whatever you want. Welcome to a world of music without complexes, full of good vibe, freshness, elegance.

The other track accompanying this release is not Dubstep. It is not even Breaks. It is what you prefer it to be. Meanwhile you can call it “Don’t Do Dat !”. But be warned: It's addictive, unhealthy, intoxicating, unique... This is the music that we hear on our planet. This is music in upper case. Let yourself go, drag, and get lost in a place where you want to evade. But yes, we cannot ensure you that you can return to your previous life after listening to this piece.
