Ashanti Selah -- musician and dub producer hailing from the UK -- is the eldest son of the world-renowned soundman, Aba Shanti-I. Ashanti's musical journey began at a tender young age, during his formative years of soundsystem exposure through his father's musical infrastructure he learned the art of the dub. His education continued as he attended his father's long-standing annual sessions at the Notting Hill Carnival and traveled the globe as a crew member and diligent student. Via his Steppas Records imprint, Alpha Steppa, son and nephew of pioneering dub-duo Alpha & Omega presents a unique collaboration between two second generation dub/reggae producers.

Eliseo Pech was a saxophonist born into a family from Yucatán, Mexico, with deep musical roots. He later settled in Quintana Roo, in southern Mexico, close to the border with Belize. From there came the strong influence of ska and reggae. In the early 1970s, he formed the band Ely Combo, which was soon joined by Belizean singer Anthony Jones. Together they recorded only a couple of albums, packed with covers of reggae and funk hits. This single brings together two of those tracks: Isaac Hayes' classic "Shaft," and the dancefloor favorite "Express Yourself," originally recorded by Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band.

King Tubby and producer Bunny "Striker" Lee are intertwined in the birth of dub music. Tubby's vast knowledge of electronics and Bunny's vast catalogue of rhythms would lay the foundations of what today is taken as a standard: the remix/version cuts to an existing vocal tune. Lee's propensity for hit making was unprecedented. In 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 he was awarded the title of Jamaica's Top Producer. In 1971 he won Jamaica's first Gold Record for Eric Donaldson's "Cherry Oh Baby" which was the runaway winner in that year's Festival Song Competition. Alternative instrumental or vocal versions of popular songs had by now become a prevalent part of the musical scene. As a creator of musical trends Striker was second to none and, for the best part of a decade, the rest of the business hung on his every word and tried to copy his every move. Over the years Striker has been one of the few enduring constants in an ever changing cast of characters and, although he rarely records nowadays, he is still one of the most important people in the Jamaican music business.

First LP release on Real Rock Records now repressed! Initially released on a small run pressing, this is a fine style dubwise selection from the Fashion Records catalogue. The rhythms contained in this album were recorded in the 1980s for various projects, some of which never saw an official release. The tracks were all mixed at the A-Class Studio by Chris "Dub Organiser" Lane, and were initially shared to a select circle of sound system operators to be played as exclusive dubs. Now the time is right for the music to be made available to all dub addicts and music lovers.

They say you've got to take your ups with your downs, but that's only because "they" haven't heard Ups, the second LP by The Flying Hats, which is all ups and no downs whatsoever. The album arrives little more than a year after debut long player The Return of the Flying Hats and mere months after the release of an instant classic 45 single featuring non-album tracks "The Blender" and "Hot Cakes." So it's fair to say that Ups finds the band riding the crest of an extremely funky Hammond-infused retro-reggae wave. Indeed, it's tempting to say not just "riding the crest of" but "increasing said wave's actual mass" -- for the new set delivers a second floor-shaking helping of a sound that joins the dots between Aggrovators-style reggae and Meters-style funk. Opener "Lightning Bottle" kicks off with an introductory drum-fill that briefly nods to a certain Dawn Penn classic before settling into a heavy, mid-tempo, Hammond-led riddim providing instant appeal for those who lean more towards the Bunny Lee/'70s side of things. The same can be said of a trio of easy-rolling bubblers consisting of "Pinball" -- a brisk number near the start of the album's second half -- along with the wistful beauty of "So Long" and "Step Up," which close the album. Those who prefer reggae that evokes the Kingston "Sound of '69," however, will salivate over the balance of tracks which deliver no fewer than five such cuts tempered with a fat slice of New Orleans sass, reveling in deliriously joyful Hammond melodies and funky backbeats, while maintaining that offbeat reggae rhythm. "Kick About," "Double Up," and "Market Day" provide up-tempo bounce, while the clattery syncopated drums on the stripped-back skank of "Stout" and the absolutely gorgeous Hammond-funky/ boss-reggae groove of "Traffic Light" provide something a little more loose-limbed. If Allen Toussaint and The Meters had upped sticks and relocated to Kingston (or Bunny Lee and Jackie Mittoo had moved to the Big Easy) in the early '70s, it would have sounded like this.

Produced by Bunny Lee at Channel One, Dynamics, Harry J's, Joe Gibbs & Randy's. Mixed at King Tubby's by King Tubby, Prince Jammy & Phillip Smart. Horace Andy's work with Massive Attack has made him an international star and his work at Studio One has become an essential of the Great Jamaican Songbook. However it is Horace Andy's work with Bunny Lee that is considered to be his 'most successful association with a producer' and in the 1970's they would create a broad catalogue composed of nothing but certified classics."
