Ja-Man All Stars - Rasta Feeling [1977]. The instrumental used for Bim Sherman’s ever popular Mighty Ruler, but here in a dub mix without Bim’s voice. Tripe Girl riddim, originally a Heptones classic.



Printesa de Aur - Cand sunt langa tine [2019]. Apparently a new release, but sounds older too, no? I consider her as a most amazing singer, but somehow her voice sounds in most releases muffled, masked by unwanted frequencies. Saw a video recently from a live gig in Italy where her voice sounded as impressive as expected. Maybe they’re using improper mics, preamps or postprocessing tech in the studio?



Kuchek Optika. Kuchek with a off the hook clarinet sound. And likewise playing. Judging from the backing track, this is at least 10 years old. Very enjoyable.



Stalawa ft Blessed San - Traitor Stalawa ft Blessed San - Traitor [2019]. Another East-African/Scottish link in this release by Scotch Bonnet Records. And it’s a most amazing tune. Surprises me that this gets so little attention on Youtube. (YT link)



Thermovibe - Are You Ready [2003]. Nice and relaxed mood, right in the middle between dub and a roots tune.



jeffrevolucion: ‘Though we are oceans away, you whisper to me, and I hear what you say.’

Tatyana - Samo S Teb [2019]. More new good chalga



Novo Kuchek Baraban 2019. A well wicked mix with these solo drums.



Dillinger - Freshly / Prophets All Stars - Flour Blow (2 cuts) [1976] … and the radical deconstruction of the Jah Vengeance instrumental, to just drums & some bass. Sounding most spectacular in the dubs (starting at 3:12 & 6:11). Mixed by King Tubby or Pat Kelly
