THE ROCKING VIBRATION EXPERIENCE

Having recently produced a live studio Set, that was recorded & mixed at Goldmasters studio's in Essex, a EP/LP set entitled "Rocking Vibrations" that is a strong support, in the engineering and drumming duties By Zac Dorne, Drummer/Engineer & Producer who has amazing qualities.

The release links on YouTube with the artist solo/band  projects/works, with some of UK/Europe's roots reggae promotions links, that the artist has collectively worked on various collaborations, and constantly building new groundations to strengthen the good foundation music, that we proudly present globally, 

We have never tried to lower the credibility of Jah Positive music focus, thinking we have to go commercially wise, thus it's always a great karma, making reality tune for the good overs, "Walk Of Life" a debut release tune in joint co-production with KarnaTone Records, and  MoonWaveMusic in a collaboration set, the session was voiced in Bournemouth,  Record & Mixed by Gavin Sant as the track was pressed and release on a 7' 45rpm single, on Gavin new roots reggae label

ARTIST MUSIC LABEL FORMITIVE YEARS

The artist first release on MoonWave Music label was July 1987, he voiced a song "Good That You Do" at Mad Professor Ariwa studio, a rhythm build with Black Steel the multitasks musician who is still good & playing Jah Music for the works is never done, the production at Ariwa Studio has a prestige hi-fidelity sound, that has become Ariwa hallmark reggae sounds

When the singer/producer saw that he like the idea of recording music, he brought a 8 track recorder to do his own label production,
this project was a learning process as the reality of making music is not as simple as plugging and press the buttons, this with his analogue technique engineering background, the artist manage to get some levels and eventually put a tune out on the label, entitled "Never Gonna Give It Up" this was a mellow mid tempo drop, he created the rhythm via the early midi/digital drums programmers, so it was primitive reggae beats, that's date from the late 80's beats box styles

The following release was a 12" single "Special Request" was press in 1989 after joining forces with 2 reggae souljahs, Renny Lalite on Bass & Stafford Sims on Guitar from Hitchin Herts, two very good spirited musicians with good music ideas to create vibes and make it into a tune, the single did fairly well as a signature tune celebrating the joy of the street reggae music life, as it was then when the purpose and focus was more about working for a better community, rather than the selfish ways that's seems to be the trendy, with some of social media habits today

The vocal group was form with the brothers became known as the Natural Elements, a meaning of good pure  sonic energy, we decide to get some tracks recorded for a album recordings, the tracks "Natural Forces"/"Universal Harmony" were added to "Special Request" that become part of the album setlist, but "Universal Harmony" became the album lead title

With the two brothers taking on new directions, the artist carried on with the project to finish the album, in the changing of times there was further recordings with Renny Lalite, on "Sure Won't Be Sorry" also with John Deps Clarke on bass and rhythm guitars, a very gifted reggae soul/funk musicians, who springs from a family of brothers in Luton who played nuff shows and dances for the reggae community

Deps Clarke also played a deep roots set on the said album, on a track name "Jah Is The Only Way" a track Joey Jay featured on his roots reggae show on Kiss FM early 90's, the Album/LP was put out in 1991, when the nature of dancehall was going bishbash ragga mania,

The music in me is the truths & rights of the facts of life, as fantasy is never the energy for too much at stake in life realities, the waxing of lyrical chants is straight to the weak-hearts, for that cause we don't stay on pause, being hung up by the besotted clauses of wars and hatred, that is distasteful even on a sad day, bad-mind it will never get us anywhere, like the kettle calling the pot black, Babylon taught us these hateful and narrow mindless thoughts, that are vanities with no real comparison to help us further our arts

ROOTS COMBINATION @ BLAKAMIX PRODUCTION

Following the early 90's releases was intertwined with some combination studio releases, the works happened with some  collaborations sessions with various record label, such as Dennis Blackamix hails outta Bedford where we did some recordings that featured on his Ragga Culture album, a various artists compilation set that include the track, "Sweet Contender" a rootsman dancehall style tune that was cool for that era, as the techno started to go more into the midi/digi mode sounds, the Blakamix crisp mixes came out sounding fresh, and round solid bassline with tuff keys/strings filled pattern, stocking up his label with phat roots music works for the Mixman productions, as the next project we worked on was a Jah man singjay style, track called "Culture Fa Real" that came out on the "Psalms Of Solomon" Compilation LP various artists set, with a progressive amount of good works that Dennis Blakamix has embarked upon in his production releases, that is promoted internationally over the decades for the originalists 

The collective mergers via Blakamix is all good as pioneers, in UK roots & culture reggae music, that has not drop off the music scales, more keeping to the core essence of why we entered into the music from the outset, to produce word sound message in the music of culture, with a deep seated reason for all generations, without creating gaps or traps for the future man of tomorrow, at least give them something to remember, where they're coming from to where they know they're going onward forward never looking backwards, as Jah Man see, so Jah Man knows the ways of men mentality, so we stay far from Babylon folly and live the life naturally, 

The Orator says Jah Music today and Jah Music always and forever, as the truth reins in the hearts of the righteousness, that abides in the hearts of man woman & children, it's only that people need to know themselves before hating anyone else, with the pinch of sense take warning and do no one no harm, judge not as you will be judge such is the revelations inna realisation, as the next title that was recorded and issued from Blakamix, is the track "Cradle Of Civilisation" and the fruits of the African nations these are the real situations, to unite and get I&I economically flowing more steady, and growing right progressively strength to strengths, and not what they have us to believe as being deceive

ENCOUNTERS WITH THE BSL SOUND OF DISCIPLES

About mid 96' after getting involved with the Jah Works sound system Dub Cup Sessions, the time was more for collective works in the views to get the music into better operations, for more unity and diversity for the music works & coordination, via a conversation that got me thinking, that it's time to meet new producers, that the artist would work on with, and this happen when he link up with Russ Disciple of B.S.L sound system, who was doing good works in his studio developments, and had recorded various roots reggae artists including Sister Rasheeda, on a Album titled "HAIL H.I.M" that is a roots & culture anthem from mid 90's

The introduction tracks we did were tunes like, "GIVE WE JAH" also a majestic double sided 12" singles "DANCING ON A RAINBOW"/"REVELATION 2,000" and a 10" single entitled "WHEN WILL THERE BE PEACE" the positive vibes did quite a few releases, from Russ Disciples BackYardMovements production sound, and releases on the artist MoonWaveMusic Label, this about 97/98 era what later become part of the label next album LP release, on MoonWaveMusic "Love Faith & Belief" is a set that combine both live and midi/digital recordings elements, to produced a sterling B.S.L sound of music recording nurtured by the invigorated Russ Disciple, loaded attacking rhythms as he stretch the dub effects within the music quest of innovation and creations, in real heavy & solid sounds of his music chambers sounds, even into the crisp steppers for the sound system cultural dances, this we delivered the goods for the music artical vibrations

These tracks also featured on the Love Faith & Belief album "Poorman's Prayer"/"Road Of Life"/"Artical Sounds" plus "Universal Harmony" track in a rework that delivered a very punchy spongy roots reggae sound, that has embalm the phat stems riddim, to give soundman a good level vibes, in the roots music sessions by ongoing tasks of the works for the raw music materials at large

So more titles have made it to the street and dances form the recent years, since the "Love Faith & Belief" LP surface around 2,000, with titles such as 12" singles "Sunrise"/"Travelling" - 12" singles "Jah Love Is The Reasons Why"/Self Realisation" - 12" single 10' "Old Kingston Road...A 12' single "Glory To The King" a disco dubwise tune from Don Goliath from Cologne who has a infusion of roots dubwise and dubstep music and "We Love Music" is a track that is produced by the talented Dubwisers Band crew, Spider And Jonas who put some serious Upsetters sound, into the production making it sounded near Black Ark sounds

A recent 7" single 2016 see a debut release song, entitled "Earth & Fire" recorded and mixed at the Disciple studio, by Russ D is sang by Esther McArthur, the artist daughter on S&E records label, that is co-produced by her and her elder sister Sarah Zebulan, who plays bass in the Universal Players band, the track has done well in the roots circle, as the works Russ has treated into the structure of the music layers, is reaching out with Esther message holding the tones, in soulful delivery into area's near and further afield, with their projection doing good in view of the younger roots soul sisters and brothers, taking their roles towards making the new foundation, in roots reggae market as strong in strength to strengths, thru out the recent and new decade as the songstress, has since had a new releases on the MoonWaveMusic label, a 12" EP/LP "ALL NATIONS"/"I BELIEVE" in 2018, a soulful melodic and lyrical song reassuring us, that "Love Is The Way To Zion"

 HERE WE STAND ONE LOVE/ALL NATIONS
