LITTLE PEPE & SHABU – hailing from the Andalucían Málaga – two of the most original and promising voices of Spanish Reggae, announce their first official album release. It comes as a a split album called “Compartiendo” (“Sharing”). All 15 tracks were produced by also Málaga-based RAS JOUQMAHI and edited by GERMAICA IBERIA, the recently created Spanish sub-branch of the prestigious European Reggae label GERMAICAN RECORDS from Leipzig/Saxony. The distribution will be handled by the Spanish No.1 in Urban music BOA.
Apart from being the first release for both artists, whose success was rooted until now in a particular good response from the internet fan-community, we find ourselves in front of the very first work with the characteristics of a split album in Spain: two melodic voices singing conscious lyrics with deep messages upon musical compositions from a producer “multi-instrumentalist” who after years of experience has created a fresh and distinctive sound.
“Compartiendo” counts with a well balanced and symmetric structure, regarding both format as well as content. The opening intro is also the only combination of both singers, followed by 14 more tracks, 7 of each singer (sometimes on the same rhythm track), in an alternate order.
This appearently rigid frame blurs away once inside the organic and polichromatic universe of the album, listening to it as an undividable unit, charged with countless subtile decorative ornaments.
90ies Dancehall Legend Alley Cat will be released on August 14th.
Alley Cat the Imperial - Artist Mix by Upliftment / Germaica
All dubplates on this mix where mixed and mastered by dubplaterescue.com
Dancehall artiste/producer Alley Cat’s new MIX CD will be released this Friday, August 14, in Germany. The MIX CD was compiled by Upliftment International Sound out of Liepezeek in Germany, a sound system that, Alley Cat has been working with over the years.
The compilation is laced with hit songs from the 90s, along with songs from his Imperial Level album (released 2003), and songs from his current “Dancehall Knowledge-Vol. 1” album. The idea of releasing the mix CD is the thought of Upliftment and Germaica Records as they saw where it would be benefiting for all parties involved especially the fact that Alley Catsongs are well appreciated by the growing dancehall market.
Upliftment Int’l released their second artist mix – “Teflon The Iva Burning”.
The upcomming jamaican artist Teflon is intruducing his skills to the European massive. He stands in the tradition of early Sizzla by forwarding rightjustness in his lyrics and a voice full of engergy. All dubplate specials where mixed and mastered by dubplaterescue.com.
