It is also about rewiring the music - changing things, adding new elements and creating new sounds. Dubmatix took his time to work on his new album. Sly \u0026 Robbie meet Dubmatix \"Overdubbed\" was released in 2018. It won the Juno Award for \"Reggae Recording Of The Year 2019\", marking the second time the Canadian producer and multi-instrumentalist from Toronto received this coveted award. \"ReWired\" is his first studio album in years and it is already very clear that the wait was well worth it. Dubmatix used this time to refine and polish the tracks on the album, while exploring new avenues. The first three tracks, \"Ask Me\" feat. Lone Ranger, \"Rub A Dub\" with Spanish singer and MC Sr. Wilson and \"High Life\" feat. Kazam Davis \u0026 Exile Di Brave, are classics for the Canadian. After that, it's as if Dubmatix opened the floodgates of style: \"Champion\", with Joe Publik's brilliant vocals, is a hip-hop-reggae hybrid with a slight grime touch; \"Crazy Days\", with a nice appearance by the Hempolics, incorporates a flexible and bouncy funk, while \"Reign Over Me\", with Duane Stephenson's smooth vocals, strays from the pop path. In addition to the new tracks, two already released 7\" singles are also included: the mystic stepper \"High Life\" with Kazam Davis \u0026 Exile Di Brave (Irie Ites Music) and a fabulous melancholic cover of New Order's \"Blue Monday\" (Cyclone Records), where Dubmatix teams up with Barry Ashworth of the Dub Pistols. It's so good! Other guest vocalists feature on the album, including Lasai, Jman and Rootwords, and there's a host of guest musicians, such as the French Booom Hornz with Romain Pivard and Cedric Munsch aka Tribuman. \"ReWired\" offers a dazzling and masterful kaleidoscope of modern dub-oriented bass music sounds that is a huge pleasure.

The album reflects Bugle's deep commitment to creating music that resonates on multiple levels. Each track is a testament to his versatility and dedication to producing songs that not only entertain but also educate and inspire. With “Apex,” Bugle reaffirms his place as a dominant voice in contemporary reggae, offering a project that is both introspective and forward-looking. The title “Apex” suggests that Bugle has reached a new peak in his career, making this album a declaration of his artistic and spiritual journey. It is distinguished not only by Bugle's lyrical mastery but also by the impressive roster of collaborators and producers who contribute to the album's sonic richness. The album features a dazzling lineup of collaborators who bring unique energy and style to each track, enriching Bugle's already impressive body of work. Notable artists featured on the album include Buju Banton, Damian Marley, Capleton, Maxi Priest, Barrington Levy, and Tifa, each contributing their unique energy. The opening track, “Apex Intro,” featuring Ras Shadai, is an ideal introduction. The composition, writing, and production are entirely handled by Bugle, setting the personal and consistent tone of the album from the outset. Among the album's standout tracks, “Thank You Lord,” a collaboration with reggae giants Buju Banton and Damian Marley, stands out. This track, composed by Jemoi Monteith and Owen Bassy Reynolds, is a powerful anthem of gratitude and faith. The lyricists, including Roy 'Bugle' Thompson, Mark Myrie (Buju Banton), and Damian Marley, create poignant and inspiring lyrics. The production, handled by Bugle, DJ Bambino, and J.

Written has been preparing for this moment almost his entire life. From a very early age, he wrote. One could even say he was obsessed with writing. No matter what he wrote, he just felt compelled to write. Hence the name Written. Born on January 18, 1994 (yes, he gladly accepts birthday wishes!) in the Payne Land area of Kingston, Jamaica, J. Written entered this world as Jason Rasheed Wright. Due to some financial instability, his family moved around the Kingston area quite a bit. His parents, wanting him to be safe, encouraged him to stay home with his two sisters, and to occupy his time at home, he started writing. And writing, and writing. And writing some more. He kept daily journals and even created written newspaper articles on the walls of their home. This creative outlet gave way to writing poems, speeches, and essays as he progressed through high school. At 16, he formed a dance group known as \"ACEZ dancers\", which was very popular in the Kingston area. He then gravitated to music around age 18, and began creating riddims in a studio in Trench Town. He became embedded in the Trench Town community and still keeps in contact with its inhabitants. His urge to write songs became his new vehicle for expression. This led to him being recorded by various producers and to his feature on the song “Fear To Understand” with Albarosie. More songs and music videos followed, and J. Written came to the attention of reggae producer Doctor Dread. “When I first saw a video of J. Written and started listening to more of his songs, I knew this was a unique artist with a special vibe and a gift for writing interesting songs”, says Doctor Dread. So he came to Jamaica and produced a debut album “Kaleidoscope” for J. Written, set for release in late 2024. “My mission is to be active and positive. Not to confirm the norm. To make people sometimes feel uncomfortable about the problems affecting our community and society as a whole. To give food for thought about what is happening in the world and currently around us”. J. Written’s intentions are clear and come through in his music. It is worth noting that J. Written plays a role in the Bob Marley movie “One Love”, that of Junior Braithwaite, an early Wailers member, in the scene where the young Wailers first come to audition for Coxsone Dodd of Studio One. The future looks bright for J. Written. He creates music and lyrics as a constant in his life. And now the world will be able to share in his vision of creative expression.

This album is a profound testament to I-Taweh’s musical odyssey, deeply rooted in his upbringing amidst the hills of St. Ann, Jamaica. Raised in Prickly Pole, just a few miles from Bob Marley's Nine Mile, I-Taweh spent his formative years immersed in the rhythms of farming and music, shaping his authentic sound and narrative prowess. Renowned as a legendary guitarist and bassist, with credits including Sade, Capleton, and Luciano, and as a member of the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari and the global Playing For Change movement, I-Taweh embarks on a solo journey once again with his fourth album. As the pandemic began, I-Taweh sought solace on his farm, dedicating four transformative years to crafting \"Musically Speaking.\" This opus showcases his evolution as a multifaceted artist, featuring collaborations with esteemed Jamaican musicians such as \"Beezy\" Coleman, Courtney \"Bam\" Deidrick, and Dean Frasier. From the evocative, blues-infused \"Long Road Home,\" featuring Mermans Mosengo's vocals and harmonica, to the rhythmic complexities of \"The Capital,\" each song offers a window into I-Taweh’s diverse musical palette and personal journey. As a solo artist, I-Taweh's commitment to social justice and human rights resonates through his lyrics and compositions. His debut album, \"Overload,\" garnered widespread acclaim, reflecting his unique fusion of Jamaican roots and global influences. With \"Musically Speaking,\" I-Taweh continues to be a captivating force on the global stage, blending profound lyricism, a dynamic stage presence, and unparalleled talent. From soul-stirring ballads like \"Sweet Caroline\" to the infectious island rhythms of \"Feel Like\" and \"Higher,\" his music transcends borders, spreading love and unity to all who listen. This album is a testament to I-Taweh's artistry, blending roots reggae with a distinct 70's flavor.","brand":"I-Taweh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55304304722264,"sku":null,"price":20240705.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3760396024567_2bbc1a17-d50c-4347-8e3e-3f647826cbd2.jpg?v=1765822645"},{"product_id":"big-red_blood-victory_2024_pia","title":"Blood \u0026 Victory","description":"Discover the new opus from one of the legends of French Reggae, Big Red from the group Raggasonic.

These artists were held to a high standard of integrity, with no foolishness or bad behavior tolerated. Fatis commanded respect. He was a devout Rasta, and the principles of Rastafari featured prominently in his life and how he carried himself, and his artists knew these ideals must be respected. Artists such as Luciano, Sizzla, Capleton, Mikey General, Sanchez, and many, many more, came under his tutelage and saw their careers rise to great heights. I first met Fatis at a media event hosted by Reggae Report magazine in Miami, Florida, around 1987. He had just finished a Yellowman album called \"Yellow Like Cheese\" and I had the fledgling reggae label RAS Records. We hit it off right away. We talked about my vision to take legitimate reggae artists who had something important to say and spread that music as far and wide as possible internationally. He told me about working with Jamaican artists who also had the integrity to be heard and respected worldwide. He said he didn’t know too many people in the reggae business yet, but he felt he could trust me and would give me a shot. A kind of bond and partnership formed that night. As I was making regular trips to Jamaica, Fatis and I grew closer as friends and bredrin. He asked me to release the first records by Luciano (\"Moving Up\") and Sizzla (\"Burn-ing Up\"). Little did we know at the time that these two artists would go on to become some of the greatest artists in Jamaican music history. And there were many more that Fatis brought to the RAS label for international release and distribution. He created the Exterminator label in the mid-1980s, right around the time RAS was getting off the ground. Exterminator became Xterminator, dropping the E. His label had a reputation for producing tough, yet soulful music. Sly \u0026amp; Robbie, Dean Fraser, Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith, and The Firehouse Crew were the musicians who provided Fatis his riddims and, as I mentioned, the artists had to be righteous in their lyrics. His reputation as a caliber producer continued to grow and many of his artists were signed to larger labels, and Fatis was starting to know the ins and outs of the overall music industry quite well, but he always held fast to his fundamental Rasta beliefs and maintained his integrity with his artists.
