Dance Of The Small Shield (Original Mix)

featured on the 2008 release 
Roots garden records 
“Showcase Part 1”

( issued on 12" vinyl and digital download)

Produced and mixed by Nick Manasseh 
featuring: Johnny Osbourne, Chezidek 
Bob Skeng and Dark Angel

Catalogue number RGR:SC001

Tracks 7 & 8

Reggae veteran Johnny Osbourne is one of Jamaica’s best-loved singers with scores of hit tunes from nearly four decades for the likes of Winston “Bam Bam” Riley, Studio One, King Jammys,
Channel 1, Bobby Digital and countless others. His hits span
over 30 years and include “Truths and Rights”, “Folly Ranking”,
“Buddy Bye-Bye”, “Come Back Darling”, 
“Give a Little Love” and “Water Pumping”.

“Black Starliner” was first heard as a Sound System dubplate special, eventually released by Roots Garden to popular demand on 7inch single in 2005(RGR:001). Quickly selling out, the song gained massive air play on radio stations worldwide and became a much sought-after modern day roots classic on the European sound system circuit.

Manasseh totally reworks the original rhythm track for the remix
with more of a contemporary feel, yet with obvious references
to the early 1980’s Roots Radics era of ‘dancehall’ roots hits
mixed by Scientist. Johnny Osbourne’s baritone vocal takes a
fresh approach to the popular repatriation theme by
addressing the issue from a sharper angle:
”you wait for the Black Starliner, and you never want to
go a Africa, you never want to hear the words of Jah Jah,
you never read up the holy scripture, you never respect
one another, and yet your waiting for the Black Starliner?!”

“Showcase Part 2”

( issued on 12" vinyl and digital download)

Produced and mixed by Nick Manasseh 
featuring: Freddie McGregor, Danny Red, Ras Zacharri, 
Earl 16 and Soothsayers Horns

Catalogue number RGR:SC002

Tracks 1 & 2
Danny Red started his recording career in Kingston Jamaica 1983, but it was not until the early nineties that Danny found success in the UK roots scene. Teaming up with the producer Nick Manasseh together they wrote and voiced the seminal “Be Grateful“. Following the huge success of this and other tracks, Danny was voted the best roots artist 94 & 95 as well as being the first roots artist to be signed to Columbia records for 25 years during 1995.

Fast forward to 2008 and Danny  and Nick are back in the studio together with the musical vibes flowing stronger than ever. Danny wastes no time jumping on board this rootsy and anthemic “steppers” rhythm complete with Nyahbinghi hand drums and live horn section - courtesy of Jonah Dan and Soothsayers Horns. Danny sings words of warning to any conspirators and back biters that claim say they know his business.
Manasseh unleashes an upfull and dance floor friendly dubwise version.

Following the success of Roots Garden records 2019 release 'Pain Killa' by Tiawa we are proud to present the second vocal instalment over this deadly contemporary Reggae riddim track from producer Nick Manasseh.

Making his debut appearance on Roots Garden Skari is a versatile & talented young vocalist hailing from Mandeville in the central hills of Jamaica. His sweet vocal tones and singjay style deliver a heartfelt & militant message as he outlines the injustices of Jamaica's land tax and corrupted socio-political system….."the country down in the wrong hands, take it from them give who it belongs, ay people who unah charge yah man? A we pay them with tax taxation a we run this nation..."

Producer Manasseh transforms the riddim track on 'Wrong Hands Dub' this time the drums and bass taking centre stage, his trademark sophisticated and subtle mixing skills creating a driving and upbeat dubwise version.

Title:Yes Mic
Artist: Manasseh Meets Praise
Label: Roots Garden Records
Cat#: RGRLP005
Formats: Digital
Digital Release: 8th May 2020
 
Description: 
A collaboration between dub producer Manasseh and virtuoso violin-viola player Praise, an audiographic blend of classical and reggae music reflects the calm within the chaos of city living. This visual accompanying the debut single 'Yes Mic' from the forthcoming LP, 'Manasseh Meets Praise', captures the duality and takes it further. The journey from West to South London during lockdown also follows the route that Manasseh took, from where the sound system was built ready for Notting Hill Carnival 1985, to his first studio in Brixton, from 1991-2000. After 10 years in the countryside, Nick is now back in Ladbroke Grove where the sound started and this album was produced.

Title: Nathan The Prophet
Artist: Manasseh Meets Praise (ft, Nathan 'Flutebox' Lee) 
Label: Roots Garden Records

Descripton:
A collaboration between dub producer Manasseh and virtuoso violin-viola player Praise, this is the culmination of their work together over the last ten years and follows the 2011 single 'Matter of Struggle'. An audiographic blend of classical and reggae music, the unique result of the artists' backgrounds, creates a heavy rhythm that carries many layers of feeling and reflects the calm within the chaos of city living. 
The multi talented Nathan 'Flutebox' Lee joins Manasseh & Praise on 'Nathan The Prophet' his majestic flute lines cascading through the echo chamber on 'Dub the Prophet'.

"Manasseh is in my opinion one of the great rub-a-dub producers... all that you would expect, especially as it's on Roots Garden Records"...
David Rodigan BBC 1Xtra

"Manasseh has been at the forefront of dropping baselines, setting up sounds all over the country for many years... Great producer of reggae music' ..
