Whenever Reggae or Dub is coming out on Sonar Kollektiv you can be assured that the release is backed up by – common for this kind of style of music – a version on 7inch vinyl. 

Now then also “King of Illusion” by Jah Wobble presents PJ Higgins is published in the small format most popular in Jamaica, the British Afro-Carribean community and even among Reggae quarters in these parts. The song receives especially on UK radio stations lots of airplay right now; most presumably thanks to its poppy freshness and the catchy lyrics. But even the dub version (only available on the digital release) works perfectly and belongs definitely in the playlist of every self-respecting Reggae DJ. 

The radical cheery “Sista Riddim Mash Up” finds its way into the handy singles record case on the B-side of the physical 7inch – cobbled together by Sonar Kollektiv's label manager and mixing engineer, Oliver Glage and Oliver Haertel. This riddim, based on Vicki Anderson's “Message From A Soul Sister” was originally released on Sonar Kollektiv in 2007 by Extended Spirit. Big up!

Three years on from the release of Rhys Adams aka YesKing's 'Re-Record... Not Fade Away', we are delighted to live up to the album's title by presenting two previously unheard remixes of standout tracks 'Hardground' and 'Overproof'.
Featuring heart-stopping vocals by Mel Uye-Park- er & Rioghnach Connolly, 'Hardground' was the album's lead single and it's easy to see why. Bit- tersweet, understated atmospheres call to mind vintage Massive Attack and Portishead, while Rhys's deft arrangement builds the track into a horn and drum-laden epic. Providing a vintage version in their own unique style, legends in their own bath-time Crazy P are first up on remix du- ties. Surely one of the best live acts on the planet right now, the UK outfit's rework is full of funky guitar licks, classic piano chords and live percus- sion, creating a disco-crossover anthem of size- able proportions. Staying in the disco/house are- na, engineer and producer O. De Lanzac turns in a silky-smooth version, with eerie chords under- pinned by a rock-solid bassline, calling to mind the eclectic, soulful brilliance of her 2012 BBE de- but ‘Uncut’.
Displaying an affectionate tip-of-the-hat to 'Ghost Town' by The Specials, 'Overproof' is surely one of the best loved and most-played cuts on 'Re- Record... Not Fade Away'. DJ and edit maestro Sam Redmore raises the tempo a little whist somehow smoothing the track out at the same time, retaining the blissful dubbed-out vibe of the original version. Listen to Sam's subtle retouch of 'Overproof' and it's clear to see why the Birming- ham native can count Craig Charles and Gilles Pe- terson among his ever-growing number of fans.

Re-Record... Not Fade Away

Yesking - Overproof (Sam Redmore Remix)

Brooklyn's singer/songwriter/force of nature Wolkoff has teamed up with renowned NYC producer Atropolis to share their heavy new track “He’s A Lizard” (SoundCloud). This single is for all you Valentine's Day resistors and survivors of love gone awry.

The two approached the song as a stylistic homage to the spirit of dancehall; with a syncopated 1/16th note rhythm that sets the stage for staccato horns and short stabby chords to accent the mesmerizing kick and bass.

At more intimate moments, Atropolis harnesses the production through dreamlike synths. A fan of using clinking coins and smashing glass for claps in his drum kits, he accents the jam with shattering bottles which carries its own symbolic weight in the context of Wolkoff's uneasy lyrics and composition.

Wolkoff, the eponymous e-pop project from Brooklyn’s own Joanie Wolkoff, is fresh off a prolific 2016, which saw the release of her critically acclaimed debut album Without Shame (SoundCloud + Spotify), along with the release of her second collaborative single “Me & Mine” (SoundCloud) with The Hood Internet, and the long-awaited second GEMOLOGY single, “Come Around” (SoundCloud). She’s already hard at work on the follow-up to Without Shame, which will be out later this year… stay tuned!

This is Wolkoff’s first collaboration with Atropolis, who adeptly balances trained expression in classical piano and jazz guitar in a transcendent blend of ethnomusicology. Having collaborated with international artists like Midival Punditz (India), Dom La Nena (Brazil), Madosini (South Africa), and co-producing a remix for grammy award winning artists Celia Cruzand Willie Colon, Atropolis now joins forces with Wolkoff to bring you this chameleonic track.

He's A LIzard (Wolkoff x Atropolis)

The release of Free from the Dungeons of Dub heralds the end of a particular chapter in International Observer's runnings. 

He was three deep into his sense orientated series of albums (Seen, Heard and Felt) when he was lured back to his previous incarnation as an international pop star. While that has been the Twins fans' pleasure, it has been the dub world's loss, as there has been no significant body of new Observer material for the last 9 years.

It hasn’t been all bad though, as the time out of the dub studio inspired a trawl through the Observer archives where dubs a plenty were found locked away on unmarked discs in the corner of his eyrie. 

This mission into the dub vault inspired two series of releases: the first was the collections Touched and Retouched, which focused on the remixes he had done over the last 25 years of acts including platinum selling pop stars like Bic Runga and Stellar*, underground electron herders such as Pitch Black and Banco de Gaia, as well as modern reggae stars The Black Seeds and even his own post-Twins act Babble. 

The second series began with a selection of Observer originals that had only been released on CD in New Zealand, followed up with a mix of new tunes and some old ones that had been forgotten in the towering pile of master discs, and then delivered some of the big guns from his live show, honed over the years into bass wobbling weapons.

Free from the Dungeons of Dub is a selection of thirteen tracks from this second series, gilded with the addition of three brand new dubs recorded over the last 18 months, one of which is an exclusive remix of the title track of his brand new pop album, Science Fiction.

Now all the archives have been freed, here's hoping  that he can find the time to address the final two senses ……………

Melting Records is pleased to snag and reissue the rare album Five Finger Discount from Budapest-based producer Nándor Kürtössy, known here as Savages. Originally released in 2008 in a limited fashion and only on compact disc, the album has been sought after by hip hop and trip hop heads alike. Melting Records has now issued this classic album for the first time on vinyl and is ready to give these tracks the wide audience they deserve.

Nándor Kürtössy is a prolific producer, behind many projects like Kovacs, Savages y Suefo, and Vega Ass, and is also the founder of his own Hungarian electronic music label, Mana Mana Records. Five Finger Discount was Nándor’s first release, born from the previous few years of sessions creating tracks for himself and his friends. Encouraged to collect these cuts onto an album, Savages was created and this remarkable album revealed. Its legend has grown since the initial release with some considering Five Finger Discount a classic of eastern European hip hop culture. The album track “You’re My Chocolate” has since become quite popular among the Greek downtempo DJ scene.

The melancholic guitars and tranquil atmosphere of “You’re My Chocolate” are indeed special, and its languid beats lead the listener through an evocative journey told through sound. This cut is indicative of Savages’ vibe and is only one of the highlights on this jam-packed album. Cuts like “Lookin’ For You”, “Long Distances”, and “The Blow” also captivate by combining hip hop, vintage lounge, and dance floor appeal into a heady, sample-rich stew. Nándor’s sense of humor is also evident throughout as spoken snippets and spy-crafted rhythms intermingle within the playful arrangements. Savages is on point … and this Five Finger Discount is a hefty bargain.

A very quick track for tonight's beatmaker session, done in 2 1/2 hrs, no proper mixing (only one speaker & lack of time) or mastering. Sorry for that.. maybe there'll be another version!
