Grant Phabao Live Soul System - Dubtape Vol.2
Saturday 21 January 2012, 17:28
After producing albums and hit singles with Studio One's legends The Lone Ranger, Carlton Livingston, The Jays, The Silvertones, Parisian dubmeister Grant Phabao was given the Jamaican stamp of approval of "the producer who brings back the original Lee Perry and King Tubby sounds with a modern twist". Phabao expanded his output with roots jamaican remixes for artists such as Alice Russell, Nostalgia 77 or Quantic (Tru Thoughts), Ty (Big Dada), George Clinton… and spectacular mashups & bootlegs: Cee-Lo, Q-Tip, Roots Manuva, Erykah Badu, Jurassic 5, Marvin Gaye, among others, were...

The Bamboos - On The Sly
(12") Tru Thoughts TRU211, 2009-02-08
What do you get when you combine a truly nasty, percussive drum break with massive Hammond and guitar stabs, a loping sly horn line and Kylie Auldist’s velvet rip-saw vocals? On The Sly is the first single from The Bamboos’ upcoming album, 4, and a real statement of intent: a piece of music for 2010 that somehow transcends the boundaries of what we know as the ‘Deep Funk’ scene and pushes The Bamboos up into a world all their own, On The Sly is The Bamboos crystallised, arrived, their own unique sound fully realised.

Lyrics Born - I Like It, I Love It (Grant Phabao Remix)
Thursday 13 August 2009, 14:19 1
When Berkeley hip hop meets Jamaican reggae... Pressure keeps on rising for the upcoming releases of Grant Phabao's three (!) new albums with The Lone Ranger, Carlton Livingston and The Jays (on his own label T.I.M.E.C. co-run with Djouls and Captain Detendu)... The french dubmeister offers here a bouncy reggae rework of I Like It, I Love It, taken from last year's hit album Everywhere At Once (released on Quannum/ANTI). It's kind of a cousin of the N.A.S.A. remix he did earlier this year (featuring David Byrne and Chuck D.!) - all party-style with its rolling drum breaks and hookish...
