Grant Phabao Live Soul System - Dubtape Vol.1
Saturday 21 January 2012, 16:33
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...

Thursday 27 October 2011, 17:10
Down By The River Side's first album on the Colored-Inc. label (colored-inc.com) - launched by Djouls and Doctor L - is what some could call a 'jazz' album. Blending Jamaican harmonies with American Jazz or blaxploitation Funk, European folk & electronics with African percussions, Slam and Jazz with Hip Hop, Afrobeat with Gospel and Poetry, with some hefty doses of Reggae, Psychedelia and Soul in between, this is indeed a kind of a 'New Thing!', entirely produced by Doctor L & Grant Phabao with star guesting Carlton Livingston, The Lone Ranger and The Jays, Allonymous and Tony Allen....

The Drug Store - Hard 2 Find Vol.4
(Download/Limited CD) Colored-Inc. COLI009, 2010-09-06
The Drug Store is the first venture for the Colored-Inc. label into Psychedelic Folk & Rock vibes. Blending Nigerian harmonies with American Folk and Jazz, Reggae chants with Stoner Rock and Hip Hop beats or Nyabinghi percussions, freaky electronics with Afrobeat or deep poetry, James Bond-like arrangements with 21st century Chicago Soul, and inviting some famous Zulu Nation King & MC to a deep garage-blues session, this is indeed a kind of a Multi-Colored Thing, a nearly hallucinatory record pushing the Colored-Inc. label's identity towards more edgy forms of African, Carribean and Afro-American music.
Production duties by Erik Rug (3), Doctor L (1,4,6,8,10), and Grant Phabao (2,5,7,9), with star guesting Amayo from the Fu-Arkist-Ra and Allonymous (USA), Kiala Nzavotunga and Tony Allen (from Nigeria), The Jays (from Jamaica), Le Damn Dog, Kactus Hunters, The Joslyns and The Farell Girls (from Paris)

Friday 09 July 2010, 17:44
Well well well, summer is upon us the hard way in Paris! But that won't slow us from publishing some new and incredible mixes, starting with my own (with the help of Grant Phabao for mixing/mastering) 21st Century Afro Extravaganza, which should be up this WE!! Then we'll have the live mix from Ian Wright recorded at this year's Paris Rare Groove Day, thanks to our friends Pal & Smokey. We should also add to the archives two cool mixes from our friend Faud (Les Mains Noires), who's been diggin' some rare and old African grooves... Two reggae mixes are ready too, two retrospective of Studio One veterans, one is about Carlton Livingston, celebrating his recently released Bridge of Life album, the other is about The Jays (from The Royals, Chantells, Black Uhuru, etc), announcing their upcoming Stepping Up In Time album... Both albums being produced by Grant Phabao and released by our brand new label Colored-Inc.
