Puppa Scal - Puppa Sleng Teng - Paul Rootical 

Reggae music, lifestyle & ideals made a bigger global impact than ever before in the 2010s with artists emerging from all corners chanting down the system. Its also been the era of mass participation & live streams. In other ways it has been less remarkable time with only a few truly exceptional fresh talents coming through (Chronixx, Jah9, Kabaka Pyramid, Samory-I) but so many shoddy productions & weak riddims on release. Fingers crossed, let's see what the new decade has in store for reggae music!

Siamrootsical Roots & Culture Mix 2015

Siamrootsical Roots & Culture Mix 2015

 

 

 

Fifth annual end-of-year new roots collection, bringing together some of the seasons bigger conscious releases. Strictly positive, ital roots selections a play... Exco levi broke new ground with his brilliant Country Man LP for Penthouse, as well as voicing  high energy sides for several producers, while musical obeah man King Mas has really turned up the heat with a series of devastating reality songs - looking forward to a new LP from him.  Micah Shemaiah also made waves with his deeply rooted Original Dread set for Decadent Records. All three artists feature heavily here. Protoje hit big with the excellent Ancient Future. Producers @Jamrockvybz put out some fine roots tunes in 2015 with Kazam Davis, Luciano, kIing ITal and Chezidek - check Marijuana: Real Green Gold.- the real Ganjaella... @nowtimesound created a finely textured modern roots soundtrack for Mark Wonder's Scrolls Of The Levite LP, for me the production of the year

Longtime riddim mix it with some wicked new originals. Will Tee's rocking remake of the Shank I Sheck runs with the Dub Specialist cut (Studio 1) beautifully. The Green Lion Crew's Ganja Morning is a relick of Desi Roots' Weed Fields. Disobey (Rebelmadiaq) is reminiscent of the Promise Land. Junior Gong reissued the On The Corner with new vocals from Chronixx, Jesse Royal & Iba Mahr. The Gunshot is back with fresh cuts by Overstand & Flava McGregor. Penhouse revisit two classics - Since I Throw The Comb Away and El Shaddai. More excursions on the  Hungry Dayz (LTL), The Empire (Riddim Wize), Freedom Fire (Independent Works) and the Go with Jah (Taitu)

Strictly roots set. Conscious mic from Bradford sound system veteran Dan-I & Marius MC. Rhythm track old and new like the Slavemaster (Volcano), Disobey (Rebelmadiaq) and the Ganja Morning (Green Lion) - an inventive relick of Desi Roots' classic Weedfields (also played here). Taxi Gang hit Baltimore also gets a dusting off as the Lion Inna Den (Iron Gate Sound). More excursions on the Rope In (Clive Hunt & Xterminator), I Know Myself + Praise Ye Jah (Xterminator), Jah Love/Warn the Nation (Prophet/Massive B), Truth & Rights (Studio1/Massive B), General Penitentiary (Penthouse/Sly&Robbie) and finishing up with the Twinkle Brothers' thunderous Faith Can Move Mountains + dub.
