Paris DJs Soundsystem - Pomp & Circumstance
Sunday 18 December 2011, 18:15 1
This one is mainly a warm-up mix in black and white (hence the title and artwork), presenting contemporary and international mento, ska, reggae & dub with young blood and legends. Lee Scratch Perry's got the final and mystic word with his under-exposed last release Rise Again (superbly crafted by Bill Laswell, with Steven Bernstein on trumpet and Bernie Worrell on keys), a title which sounds like a symbol of his great renaissance. But it could also fit The Jolly Boys Great Expectation comeback, a band christened by hellraiser Errol Flynn himself while he was living in Jamaica. Both music...
Judah Eskender Tafari & Ticklah - Land Of Confusion - out on Liondub 45

Judah Eskender Tafari & Ticklah - Land Of Confusion
(7 inch/Digital) Liondub 45 LNDB45003, 2011-08-01
Originally released as the B-side to Life on Black Redemption, Land Of Confusion was voiced at Ticklah's studio and released in 2007. Three years later, Ticklah has arranged a new instrumental track around the vocal, adding his own signature out-board effects, percussion and keyboard harmonies to the conscious lyrics of the "Commander". The resulting track and version are a musical gem, melding the dub experimentation of Creation Steppers with the inimitable spirit of Studio 1 and Soul Syndicate. It's no surprise then that Jah Shaka has offered steady support for this track on his soundsystem time and time again! Three years in the making and well worth the wait.
Sugar Minott & Ticklah - Praise His Name - out on Liondub 45

Sugar Minott & Ticklah - Praise His Name
(7"/Digital) Liondub 45 LNDB45002, 2010-12-14
Praise His Name is an uplifting message for the masses; to give hope to the downtrodden and remind us of our need for spiritual wealth. No one could say it better than Sugar Minott, whose own works supported generations, and here he has done so with a bittersweet minor melody that fits perfectly over Ticklah's rolling bass, muffled rimshot and lush organ sound. Minott's erie harmonies ring out with crystal clarity in the mix which is wrapped in spring reverb, chugging organ and punctuated by glistening agogo bells while rippling echos punch holes in the dub verison. A classic like this comes along once in a life time and this one is for the ages. Watch out for more 7"s from Ticklah as well as the likes of Johnny Osbourne, Luciano, Judah Eskender Tafari, Courtney John and other reggae legends.

Jahdan Blakkamoore / Ticklah / Victor Rice - The General b/w Elimination Game
(7 inch) Liondub 45 LNDB45001, 2009-12
Coming from the mind of internationally renowned reggae & drum'n'bass DJ Liondub, Liondub45 is a brand new sub label of the already well established and highly sought after LionDub International imprint, which represents the electronic, reggae influenced worlds of Jungle, Drum'n'Bass, and Dubstep sounds. Liondub45 is intent on releasing a catalog of collectible 7"s focusing on deep, vintage dub and scorching Roots Reggae showcasing the talents of a venerable who's who of modern Dub producers and original foundation vocalists. Things kick off with Ticklah's remix of the red hot Jahdan Blakkamoore, whose debut album Buzzrock Warrior on !k7 subsidiary Gold Dust is currently tearing up the charts. Axelrod flips the The General into a deep and heavy dub workout complete with an otherworldly skank and analog squelching bass. To the B-Side, Elimination Game, a monster slice of dub with a driving Steppers beat, swirling sound effects, deep percussion delays, bubbling organs, and all the studio wizardry we've come to expect.

Grant Phabao and Djouls - 21st Century Roots Dub Vol.2 (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2010-01-19 This speedy dub mix is among my favorites. It's dub, but not the lazy kind, and doesn't venture into techno-dub at all. This is heavy Jamaican high-octane dub and even goes Tropical disco dub at one point in there! Enjoy the vibes!!
