Last week The Elephantsounds crew did their second radioshow for the Zion Highness community. Two hours of reggae, the first part classics, the second new roots, and ending with a couple of dub tunes. Remember the next show can be heard live on wednesday july 9th from 20:00 till 22:00 on @ http://www.zionhighness.com/ ....... listen down here and enjoy!
The folks at Pressure Sounds drop another dub bomb, check out this classic set! Duke Reid died from cancer in 1974 and his nephew, Errol Brown, who had been a junior engineer at Treasure Isle and who would go on to become one of the key engineers at Bob Marley's Tuff Gong Studio, took over the studio controls. He mixed three dub albums at Treasure Isle that dressed down and dubbed up some of the best of the Bond Street catalogue. Snatches of the original vocals were woven in and out of mixes that sound as fresh and as vital today as they did when they were first released both in their original sixties incarnations and their seventies counteractions. Treasure Dub Volume One and Treasure Dub Volume Two have been available in various incarnations ever since. However, Pleasure Dub, the best of the set featuring Errol Brown's cuts to rock steady classics such as The Right Track by Phyllis Dillon, The Tide Is High and Riding On A High & Windy Way from The Paragons and Things You Say You Love by The Jamaicans has never been re-pressed since its initial release. In addition to the incredible music, re-mastered to the usual exacting standards, Pressure Sounds have retained the original artwork for the front cover and added an array of fabulous Treasure Isle photographs and graphics assembled alongside detailed sleeve notes that place the music in its proper context. This exciting release, takes you straight to the real roots of the music back to Bond Street and those very first versions.
Greensleeves is re-releasing the first and long lost dub set by one of our alltime favourite producers Joe Gibbs. Originally issued circa 1973 alongside other classic early dub sets including Lee Perry’s Black Board Jungle and Rhythm Shower, Herman Chin-Loy's Aquarius Dub, Randy's Java Dub (mixed by Errol Thompson), Prince Buster’s The Message Dubwise and others. Virtually unheard since that time, it’s a dubhead’s dream come true, with early raw drum and bass cuts to Gibbs’s cut to Satta Massagana, Love Me Girl, Money In My Pocket and the killer cut to He Prayed used by Big Youth for his Foreman Vs Frasier. Spare on the effects, just a bit of echo and reverb and a couple of vicious tape rewinds. If you dig Joe's African Dub chapters, you'll need this album too. Dub Serial can also be found on cd in the boxset Evolution Of Dub Vol.1, also on Greensleeves.

Al meer dan drie decennia zijn The Gladiators een drijvende kracht in de Jamaicaanse muziekscene. Deze legendarische band rondom Albert Griffiths werd geformeerd in 1967. Alle grootheden uit de Jamaicaanse scene hebben ze zien gaan en zien komen. Zelf blijven ze waar ze zijn, in wisselende bezettingen weliswaar, in het hart van de reggaescene van Jamaica. The Gladiators staat voor onvervalste en onversneden rootsreggae van het zuiverste water. Elephant Soundsystem zal de tunes voor en na het concert gaan verzorgen! Dit is je kans om de nieuwe zaal Luxor in Arnhem te zien......

Bugbrein Kevin Martin is bepaald geen groentje en staat bekend als muzikale allesvreter.
Eigenlijk moeten we hem maar eens Jim Cliff gaan noemen, want Jimmy Cliff is dit jaar zestig geworden. Gelukkig gaat deze beroemdste nog levende reggaezanger niet met de VUT, integendeel, hij gaat op tournee! Voor een reggaezanger heeft Jimmy Cliff veel hits gehad: tien keer haalde hij de Top-40, met als bekendste nummers Reggae Night, Wild World en Sunshine In The Music. Ook als acteur had hij succes - de oudere muziekliefhebber herinnert zich nog de film (en het nummer) The Harder They Come. Met Cliffs fluwelen stem en zijn grote repertoire wordt dit het ideale zomeravondconcert!
