{"product_id":"multi-artistes_fatis-tapes-in-the-oven_2024_pia","title":"Fatis Tapes in the Oven","description":"Philip 'Fatis' Burrell, producer extraordinaire, founder of the iconic Jamaican label Xterminator which began on its path to legendary status in the early 1980s. The label started as Vena Recordings and later changed to Kings \u0026 Lions, which then became Exterminator. It was only later that Exterminator changed its name by dropping the 'E' to become Xterminator. At the time, there were interesting movements in black music all over the world, from Funk to R\u0026B and even Hip Hop, but the digital era of reggae and dancehall was soon to follow with Xterminator playing a major role in its development. Fatis' fundamental philosophy was perhaps what propelled him to the forefront of music and attracted a multitude of talents, who became some of the greatest artists in Jamaican music history, to his label such as Luciano, Sizzla, Mikey General, and Capleton. It was evident that Fatis' sound philosophy would continue to make the music of the time. This vinyl compilation has delved into the Xterminator vaults, featuring tracks that were recorded from 1994 to 2003, and is launched by Fatis' son, Kareem 'Remus' Burrell. Remus has gone through Fatis' 24-track analog tapes, as well as the final mixes on DAT tapes from his father's catalog. The 24-track tapes, in particular, must go through an arduous baking process in an oven before being digitally transferred, hence the name \"Fatis Tapes In The Oven\". This selection features artists like Beres Hammond who recorded \"How Come You Don't Know Me\" in Fatis' studio located in Stony Hill, around 2003. The Xterminator label has nurtured many artists over the decades, including Luciano who is featured on this release with \"Give Thanks\" and Sizzla performing \"Distance Way\". Both tracks were recorded in 1994 and 1995 at Gussie Clarke's Music Works Studio, located on Slipe Road before moving to 7 Windsor Ave and being renamed Anchor Recording Studios. Other members of the Xterminator family included in this compilation are Ini Kamoze also known as \"Hot Stepper\" with \"They Don't Know This\", Marcia Griffiths, the queen of reggae, who gives us \"Jah Is\", Charlie Chaplin and Josey Wales, the dynamic duo of dancehall music, with \"Only Jah\" and one of Jamaica's wonders, Wayne Wonder, with \"The Way I Am\". Much of the quality Xterminator became known for is due to Fatis' penchant for live instrumentation. Although his name is built on the digital era of dancehall music, the label worked alongside many musicians who became members of the Xterminator family. From Dean Fraser who later became the chief musical arranger, to the legendary drum and bass duo Sly Dunbar \u0026 Robbie Shakespeare, to bassist","brand":"Multi-artistes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55304309473624,"sku":null,"price":20240119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3760370268239.jpg?v=1766429446","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/multi-artistes_fatis-tapes-in-the-oven_2024_pia","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
