Before the invention of physical records only elite could enjoy music. Very few people could attend concerts or play music themselves. Sound storages brought good music to more people. Internet was meant to move it further. To let people discover music without major labels and mainstream radio stations. Basically to liberate music. Printing 700 copies only and no digital brings us back to the 19th century. Enjoy serving the elite and not the people.

Khaliphonic 15 is the first full length release from Japanese experimental dub duo Undefined. Well-established as a live act since 2014, and releasing on their own Newdubhall label as well as ZamZam Sounds since 2017, it’s well-past time that their expansive and immersive sound be allowed to span the length of an LP, and this set is nothing short of a triumph. 

The powerhouse duo of keyboardist/programmer Sahara (formerly of Heavymanners) and drummer Ohkuma (formerly of Soul Dimension) create an absolutely unique form of dubwise firmly grounded and rooted in rockstone reggae principles, while focusing intently on expansive spaces, subtle inflections, and exploratory minimalism and abstraction - deep dives into the heart of rootical riddim and space. Luminary vocalists Paul St. Hilaire, Rider Shafique, and Ras Dasher were invited on the journey, and the resulting set is absolutely timeless, a crowning achievement in the rich history of reggae, dub, and dub techno in Japan, and the world. 

With “Defined Riddim” the two-man band has created something ruff & rugged while somehow delicate and utterly elegant throughout. Undefined honors the roots while taking them in an deeply personal, unconventional and unique direction unburdened by cliches, follow-fashion or any other concerns beyond creating an honest music - dub from the heart. Words fail when trying to describe the richly saturated color and tones of Sahara’s keys & bass; Ohkuma’s drumming is muscular, lithe, incredibly tight & subtle. The two together are nothing short of a force, a single spirit of riddim moving through two individuals with a fully-unified vision, the vision magnified by E-Mura’s (Bim One Production) masterfully restrained mix.  

It’s an absolute honor to release this album in physical form, including a bonus 7” featuring the heartfelt vocals of Ras Dasher, who passed away suddenly before he could celebrate the release with us. Undefined and Khaliphonic/ZamZam Sounds dedicate this set to him, and to dearly-departed Naoki E-Jima, whose Disc Shop Zero was the heart of the scene in Japan until he left this plane in 2020. Naoki was also an early, enthusiastic, and steadfast supporter of ZamZam Sounds & Khaliphonic, and we are forever grateful to him and his family for the love they showed us and so many others. 

Releasing at the end of April, 2022. Limited to 700 vinyl bundles for the world. No repress, no digital. Email zamzamsounds@gmail.com for more info or other inquiries. A list of stockists is available at www.zamzamsounds.com

"Chatter / Judgement" [PSI010]

Label: Challenger Deep UK
Format: 300 pcs. 12" - vinyl only
Mastering: Ten Eight Seven
Distribution: Unearthed Sounds

Review by Juno Records:
"Viennese producer Gnischrew's occasional vinyl releases tend to be ultra-limited affairs, with his most recent outings being pressed as dubplates of which less than 50 copies exist. Mercifully, there are far more copies floating around of this Challenger Deep label debut, though as ever with the popular label demand may outstrip supply. A-side 'Chatter' is a bona-fide rib-cage rattler: an echo-laden slab of slow motion digi-dub that blurs the boundaries between authentic 21st century dub and the hazy, mind-altering sonics of deep dubstep. Those looking for a higher tempo and more obvious dancefloor potential should check the pitched-down deep dubstep flex of flipside 'Judgement', whose low-end pressure is undeniably heavy."

Chatter / Judgement

Chatter / Judgement [PSI010] [Clip]

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.
