New Pressure Sounds release: Treasure Isle's Pleasure Dub 1974

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.

Joe Gibbs Early Dub Classic: Dub Serial 1973

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.

Side One:
1. Satta Amassa Gana Version
2. More Dub Version
3. More Dub Version Two
4. Love Me Girl Version
5. Turn Back The Hands Of Time Version
6. Money In My Pocket Version
Side Two:
1. Rainy Night In Georgia Version
2. God Bless The Children Version
3. Love Ja Ja Children Version
4. Without Love Version
5. Be The One Version
6. He Prayed Version

DEZE ZATERDAG!

Deze zaterdag is het weer dik aan! Naast uw vertrouwde leveranciers van dikke roots, vlammende dancehall, opruiende jungle en alles wat zich ertussen begeeft, hebben we weer een aantal internationale gasten voor je in petto.

Uit Italie afkomstig, maar al tijden rondzwervend door Europa komt Manjah Fyah. Een selecter met, net als de Elephants, een voorliefde voor de ouderwetse 7" single en juggling. Manjah is de drijvende kracht achter 90 Degree (het soundsystem en het label.)

Op de mic wordt hij bijgestaan door de uit Roemenie afkomstige mc General Trix, die de meest diverse flows van topkwaliteit uit zijn mouw schudt alsof het niets is. Denk aan een kruising tussen Gentleman en TopCat..zoiets. Lekker!

Ook op de mic: de uit Ghana afkomstige Osagyefo, die met zijn rootsy en laidback manier van zingen voor die heerlijke afrikaanse saus zorgt.

Samen vormen ze 90 Degree Sound en dat, dat is dik aan! We schreven het al..

Tot zaterdag!

THE SOUND OF THE ELEPHANT @ LATIN AMERICAN FILM FESTIVAL

ELEPHANT SOUNDSYSTEM is dit jaar uitgenodigd om te komen draaien op het LAFF. Wij zullen op zaterdag 9 mei vanaf 22.00 uur draaien in de cocktailbar van het Louis Hartlooper Compplex in Utrecht. Diezelfde avond draait er een film waarbij een carribische soundtrack goed leek te passen, daarom leek het de organisatie een goed plan om ons te vragen om van die overheerlijke jamaicaanse reggae muziek te komen draaien! :-)

Vanaf 22.00 uur tot 02.00 uur vette vibez, irie visuals (malu sin) & overheerlijke cocktails aan de bar!!!

BOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBO!!!!

LATIN AMERICAN FILM FESTIVAL:
Het Latin American Film Festival (LAFF) introduceert en presenteert jaarlijks het werk van (nieuwe) filmmakers uit Latijns-Amerika. Naast het bieden van een overzicht van de beste films en documentaires van het afgelopen jaar, biedt het LAFF een overzicht van de culturele en maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen van dit continent in een uitgebreid verdiepingsprogramma.

Het LAFF is in 2005 opgericht door Judith van den Burg en Jessica de Jaeger. In de afgelopen vijf jaar is het LAFF uitgegroeid van een klein overzichtsfestival tot een succesvol middelgroot festival en kennisnetwerk op het gebied van Latijns-Amerikaanse film en cultuur. Het programma van het LAFF werd in de loop der jaren uitgebreid met een educatieprogramma.
