First hour from ZamZam Sounds featuring new bits + some of our favorite Japanese reggae & dub from the vaults, second hour with Undefined featuring a selection of Japanese reggae & dub from 1988 to the present, all celebrating the imminent release of Undefined's "Defined Riddim" LP on Khaliphonic!

Sounds From The Well radio 4.08.22 w/Undefined in the 2nd hour

- Sélection 100% vinyl 100% ZamZam / Khaliphonic - 

Si un label sait faire preuve de consistance sans aucun compromis c'est bel et bien ZamZam sounds. De la production à la sérigraphie, rien ne leur échappe et les plus grands noms de la scène mondiale sont passé par leurs établissement : Gregory Isaac, Alpha & Omega, Ishan Sound, RSD, Badawi, Macka B, Al Wootton, Junior Dread, El Mahdy Jr, Big Youth, Brendon Moeller, Johnny Clarke...
Quality !

Depuis 2012, des sorties strictement vinyls en tirage limité, avec des galettes pressés aux petits oignons, du design à la presse, des pochettes sérigraphiées à la main via Polygon Press gérées par Tracy. Au-delà de ZamZam, ils dirigent également le label Khaliphonic qui explore des sonorités mondiales passées à la moulinette Dub comme Los Gaiteros De San Jacinto et leur cumbia ancestrale, l'ambient avec Sam Binga & Welfare et plus encore. Acteurs incontournable, ils font partie de cette grande famille qui inonde les ondes aux côtés de Bristol avec Dubkasm et Gorgon Sound, depuis Tokyo chez Disc Shop Zero ou Undefined, en France avec Von D et OBF.
C'est à Portland, Oregon que le QG et l'esprit de ce label est ancré. Issu du défunt label BSI (Bucolic Sound Investigations) tenu par Ezra aka E3 qui perpetue cet engagement au service du dub et de ses valeurs avec des artistes cultes tel Muslimgauze, King Jammy, Jah Warrior, Henry & Louis, The Rootsman...Le label s'éteint au milieu des années 2000 et c'est en 2012 il y a maintenant 10 ans que ZamZam est crée par Ezra et Tracy. Depuis, ce label est devenu incontournable, pourrait-on dire même crucial. En 2018, c'est au Telerama Dub Festival de Paris qu'ils se sont produits pour une dance accompagné du Sinaï Sound System. Les présent-e-s s'en rappellent encore !

Le label fêtera 10 ans d'activisme le 30 Juin au Outlook Festival avec un line-up incendiaire : 
Adam Prescott, Al Wootton, Dubkasm, J.Sparrow B2B J:Kenzo, Marcus Anbessa, Maria, Om Unit, Rider shafique, Sun of Selah et bien sûr ZamZam Sounds themselves E3 & TR.

Voici donc un petit mix non-exhaustif de quelques pépites de ma collection. 
Sounds from the well !

DWYCK EP02 ZamZam Sounds Special

It’s been five years since Khaliphonic #8, the various artists collection, “Sounds From The Well: Collection One.” Eight releases later we’re finally able to bring you Khaliphonic 16, “Sounds from the Well: Collection Two,” a next set of outer dubwise from across the diaspora of bass-heavy sound system music. While Collection One focused on a kind of Mediterranean and Near-Eastern dubwise topography, Collection Two explores psychological and emotional spaces instead, with a focus on experimentation and a mood that is decidedly deep and dark.

Titus 12 & MTF open the set with the “Koyla Rhythm,” heavy half-time atmospheric moves underpinned by serious bassweight.

J:Kenzo’s “Kotale” is a neck-snapping nod to the glory days of old school dub-hop with big drums and an even bigger 2-note b-line. 

Undefined deliver mesmerising organic 140 dub techno in fine style with “Signal,” demonstrating once again why they are unrivaled in the experimental dub arena. 

No one sounds like Gulls, and his hardware-centric approach to production and hands-on-desk mixing shine on the emotional “Immolation.”

As big fans of Lakker and his Bedouin Trax releases, we’re thrilled to have Eomac, opening the B-side with “Wildfire,” a genreless beast made of hard drums, swirling spectral flutes, and dark distortion.

Pugilist & Mystik come with “Arbitrary,” a shimmering orb of opalescent dub-techno refracting light from inner and outer realms that almost sounds alive. 

Though touchstones such as Jah Tubbys or African Headcharge might provide a reference, Marcus Anbessa’s soundworld is his own, and “Piros Tribe” is a deep roots missive from the ancients. 

Five-piece dub band Systemwide emerge from a long silence with “Warrior,” a piano and analogue synth bass-led behemoth recorded live in the studio and mixed by the one Alter Echo.

Al Cisneros of Sleep and Om fame closes the set with his inimitable approach to heavy, meditative roots dub with the low-slung “High Concentrate.”

Soundcloud clips always recorded straight from the vinyl with flat EQ so you know what you're getting. 

Releasing mid-October 2022. Vinyl only, no digital. Limited to 650 copies. Art & design by Polygon Press. Email zamzamsounds@gmail.com for more info.

DUBCOM040D - Frenk Dublin ft. Tenor Youthman - Fire Just A Shot + Remixes (Previews) [Digital]

Taka Noda AKA Mystica Tribe has been releasing deep music on vinyl since 2011 on labels including SD Records, Solar Phenomena, Silent Season, and his own Mystica Tribe Records. Working in the dub/techno continuum, he is one of only a handful of artists who creates brilliant tunes at both ends of the spectrum, from heavy, psychedelic warehouse techno to beautifully orthodox reggae-infused dubwise. For his first ZamZam, he leans hard into the latter. 

Noda describes his approach to these tunes as a “virtual live band,” and while “the only real live instrument is the melodica, I wanted to capture the energy of a live band with this song.”

A master of both melody and rhythm, Noda does exactly that with “Ido” (which means a well for water). The mood hits immediately with a loose & confident groove built from impossibly-live sounding drum work, a perfect orthodox bassline, and achingly beautiful interplay between piano, clav, and melodica. Somehow both melancholy and bright, it captures that moment when winter gives way to the first hint of spring, sun finally breaking through clouds after months of rain and darkness. 

Rather than a simple dub of the A side, the version is a complete rebuild of the tune. “Ido - Renren Version” (which means flowing like tears, or a river) drops the tempo down to 120 but goes harder rhythmically in spite of its slower tempo. Opening with a stark, dark, and menacingly driving bassline and warped dub siren, the vibe is completely transformed from above-ground to below. Hard percussion, new melodica parts, and 4-4 hats & kick take it into that full post-punk dub territory that the world needs more of. Much more!!

Strictly limited to 650 copies for the world. No digital, no repress. Art, design & screen print by Polygon Press. Mastered by Sam at Precise, Pressed at Third Man. Shipping end of February, 2023.

BASSCAST 100

BASSCAST #100 by LXC - 45 Roots

For the past few years we’ve been mesmerized by Elijah Minnelli’s output on his own Breadminster County Council label… a handful of hand-crafted 7”s that live at the foggy intersection of dub, outsider folk, and various strands of Eastern European and South/Central American musics. In hindsight it seems inevitable that he would join the ZamZam family. 

Firmly rooted in dub through its mammoth bassline, ‘Gradually’ is a shaggy, unhurried tune framed by melancholy, almost grieving squeezebox and gorgeous ensemble percussion that reverently recalls early cumbias. The tune is unique for Elijah in that it features fully-sung vocals. Themes of loss, despair, tragedy and coping circle and loop, ironically held in a musical matrix that spirals in deliberate repetition. 

In ‘Gradually Verzion’ the introduction of a minimal melodic figure and long echo trails signal a dramatic shift, going full dubwise steppers without compromising its warm center.  Elijah holds back the wheezy melody, deftly forwarding the percussion in time-honored echo chamber mode.

Our soundcloud clips are always recorded straight from the vinyl with flat EQ so you know exactly what you're getting. 

Strictly limited to 700 copies for the world. No digital, no repress. Art, design & screen print by Polygon Press. Mastered by Sam at Precise, Pressed at Third Man. Shipping early November, 2023.
