Grant Phabao & The Lone Ranger - Sweet Talking
(Digital/Limited CD) Colored-Inc. COLI008, 2010-08-10

The Lone Ranger is one of Jamaica's most influential early dancehall DJs. He was twice voted N°1 deejay on the island, in 1979 and 1980. He helped pioneer a newly rhythmic, on-the-beat rhyming style that led DJ toasting into the modern age, and punctuated his lyrics with bizarre exclamations and sound effects ("bim" and "ribbit" were his favorites) that made him perhaps the most imaginative stylist of his time. Without Lone Ranger, no Yellowman, no Shabba Ranks, no Sean Paul...

Thanks to the incredible production skills of French dubmeister Grant Phabao, who crafted for him a splendid album in 2005 (Kulchaklash / to be pronounced "Culture Clash"), and a hit single in 2006 making waves all over the irie globe, with rub-a-dub partner Carlton Livingston and their cover of Dandy Livingston's Message To You Rudie, The Lone Ranger is now back with his 12th album, Sweet Talking, and another big step towards bringing back the golden age of rub-a-dub!

Grant Phabao plays all instruments (with the help of keyboard wizard Soul Sugar, formerly from Seven Dub). He produced, polished and mastered himself the 13 tracks, along with three other full length albums (!), for respectively Carlton Livingston, The Silvertones and The Jays...

Djouls in Trax magazine - summer 2010 - 20 Years of Ninja Tune

Published on Monday 09 August 2010 · 17:17 · By Djouls

Djouls heavily featured in Trax Magazine magazinetrax.com) Hors Série - Ninja Tune 20 Ans... (summer 2010)

20 ANS DE REMIXES

20 ans de tracks de DJ's c'est forcément aussi 20 ans de remixes en tout genre. Djouls vous offre son classement perso, avec uniquement la crème de la crème...

20 ANS DE COLLECTORS

Être fan de Ninja Tune, c'est du boulot. Depuis ses débuts, le label adore en effet sortir des versions jouant sur la fibre collectionneuse de ses adeptes. D'où cette sélection spéciale 20 ans réalisée avec Djouls dans le rôle de l'expert du label

NINJA PSYCHÉDÉLIQUE - LA FACE CACHÉE DE NINJA TUNE

Label estampillé électro, on ne se doute pas forcément que Ninja Tune a également sorti un certain nombre de disques plus psychédéliques, dans des genres musicaux très variés. Petit récapitulatif, pour ceux qui seraient passés à côté. Par Djouls.

La réputation du label Ninja Tune a toujours été ancrée dans une culture hip hop, jazz et cinématographique. L'étiquette "musique électronique" du label provient surtout de musiques qui émanent de cette culture: breakbeat, jungle, drum'n'bass, downtempo... On en oublie rapidement les latineries de Up, Bustle & Out, l'afrobeat d'Antibalas, le post-rock de Spokes ou Cougar, le glam de Pop Levi, etc., et la liste est plutôt longue. Et on ne parle que rarement de la face cachée de ses 20 années d'activisme musical, le côté psychédélique du label, dans lequel nous allons nous plonger ici à travers 20 disques à (re)découvrir, pour les amateurs de musique cérébrante!

Doctor L in StarWaxMag #13 - summer 2010

Doctor L feature article in StarWax magazine (France, summer 2010)

Artisan-bâtisseur d'un hip hop Français qu'il a fui dès les prémices de la variétisation, Liam Farrell, producteur, musicien, réalisateur, vidéaste et bidouilleur est si actif que l'on pourrait faire fonctionner toute l'industrie musicale avec seulement quatre ou cinq spécimens de son espèce. Toujours les mains dans le cambouis, le doc trouve tout de même le temps d'évoquer avec nous ses divers projets, entre un son à faire écouter, une anecdote à raconter et un truc qui n'a rien à voir...

Kiala - Motherless Child / Sorrow, Tears and Blood 1

Published on Saturday 07 August 2010 · 16:20 · By Djouls

From Lagos' blazing smoky clubs to the Seine's piers, through New York and Los Angeles, persistent memories remain. A founding member of the band Ghetto Blaster (1984-2006) and Fela's loyal partner in arms (1981-1983), Kiala has kept the fire going and sparkling. Full of impertinent innovative energy, Kiala blows the afrobeat burning breath. Alive and kicking! Here are acoustic takes on a traditional American gospel and a Fela classic...

Pursuing their productive collaboration with the Colored-Inc. label, this is yet another release from Franck Biyong & Massak. This collection of moods and athmospheres explores a more relaxed and spiritual dimension of their music.
"We try use sounds and tension/release effects in our musical narratives the same way an archeologist would do with words while relating the lost treasures he encounters in his private diary" says Franck about these haunting athmospheres that are real "conceptual continuity" clues to be found in each of Massak's instrumental releases.
Remixed,remastered, with a different running order of songs this new edition of Realms Of Atlantis features the underground hit B.L.A. that got it all started for Massak on the international level.

Tracklisting :
01. B.L.A. 4:11
