Lustre Kings Productions is excited to announce the "Junction Riddim”, produced by the Zion I Kings. This unique riddim boasts a wide-variety of diverse artists from current to veteran talent, while geographically employing Jamaica, US Virgin Islands, Europe and the USA. The composition is exclusive with the use of live instrumentation interspersed with elements of digital programing, dubstep basslines and hip hop production. Performed live in Jamaica at Tuff Gong Recording studio by the Zion I Kings utilizing the drumming from legendary Roots Radics member, Lincoln “Style” Scott. Zion I Kings is a production trio that has been particularly prolific over the last few years, formed from three notable reggae label heads and audio engineers; Zion High Productions, David Goldfine (bass), I Grade Records, Laurent “Tippy” Alfred (keyboards) and Lustre Kings Productions, Andrew “Moon” Bain (guitar).

The first single on the riddim, "For the Children” a combination with LK feature artist, Jahdan Blakkamoore, teamed with rising star, Kabaka Pyramid, was released last spring to great response worldwide. Some intriguing additions to the riddim are present on the full release; the legendary “Dancehall Don-Dada”, Johnny Osbourne among them! It is rare to see Johnny appear on a new release or any riddim compilation and he delivers his classic reggae styling on “We Steppin’”. Another notable combination is crafted by the brilliant Angela Hunte (Jay-Z, Major Lazer) and Holland’s talented Ziggi Recado on “Crazy is as Crazy Does”. Par for the course from Lustre Kings, the mighty Lutan Fyah comes in strong with his Rastafarian anthem “Up in the Hills” urging his community to depart the ways of Babylon and live a more natural existence. Two other names that bring a fresh energy to the riddim are up and comers, Hempress Sativa on “Still Surviving” and Bobby Hustle on “Chatty Mouth”, both making great use of the track. Other noteworthy names that appear are Pressure Busspipe, Midnite. Lloyd Brown and the ever-articulate Mr. Perfect Giddimani.

For almost two decades, Lustre Kings Productions has become synonymous with modern roots reggae music and fostering burgeoning talent. This independent label has carved a name out for itself grounded in conscious dancehall and reggae music. The “Junction Riddim” delivers on all points, once again pushing the envelope of the genre, introducing fresh faces amongst familiar ones while remaining rooted in live musicianship and forward thinking production that resounds thoughtful, creative and evocative messages.

This soulful reggae release hosts 8 tracks featuring veteran artists, Akae Beka (Vaughn Benjamin of Midnite), Pressure, Lutan Fyah, Jahdan Blakkamoore and Danny I, amongst up and coming greats Randy Valentine and Vanessa Bongo. A diverse cast of pan Caribbean artists hailing from the US Virgin Islands, United Kingdom, Barbados, Jamaica and the USA. 

DJ Idren of Cornerstone Sounds crafted this energetic and creative mix for 
your listening pleasure, featuring the full cast of the riddim. Giving you a sneak peak of whats to come!

The composition has a positive feeling about it, instantly setting a mood of introspection, love, warmth and ease. It brilliantly employs a classic fender Rhodes piano amongst organic guitars and organs on top of a solid live drum and bass backbeat. All this moving and grooving with modern production elements of synthesizers, drum loop glitches and dub effects. Performed live in Virtue & Vice Recording Studio in Brooklyn, NY while on tour, the Zion I Kings capture a feeling here that harnesses a nostalgia that allows each artist to perform their own unique style over.

Quickly becoming my favorite purveyors of sound.. Zion I Kings with another massive drop featuring some of the best to have ever done it and some that have yet to get the mass appeal they have earned. Big Up all of the artist on the riddim. Usually I find not enough time to get everyone in.. this riddim is so rough and the artist so clean I couldn't leave anyone out.
