Back in 2012 Resonators released their debut LP ‘The Constant’, a perfect five-star album of dub reggae stamping both the roots of Jamaica with the best additives of England, with even Sir David Rodigan proudly boasting about its authenticity of sound. With four years having past, the big question was, how would Resonators’ sophomore attempt pair up with the first? The answer...very well. ‘Imaginary People’ is a proper continuation from where they left off years back, with an even bolder confidence reflecting that they are indeed one of the best bands of today recording dub reggae.
London band The Milk have announced the release of their second LP 'Favourite Worry'. With a release date scheduled for October 16th on Wah Wah 45, the new record is produced by Paul Butler of The Bees fame. The album will reflect the group's love of 1970s soul and r&b, with the album containing 10 songs in total. Favourite Worry will get released on CD, vinyl and digital format.
Addressing the topic of drug culture, Lea Lea drops brow-raising imagery in her latest video …
In the midst of singers twerking, rappers still boosting about themselves and DJ’s reminding everyone to throw their hands in the air, listening to music often times feel like a bombardment of constant advertising and commercials , with only 15 minutes of an actual show. Yet every now and then, an artist has the courage to push through the filler and deliver true substance. London based singer Lea Lea has taken the ambitious step to do just that. Using dark electronica, soul, ragga, bass and dub as the backdrop to add impact to often critical topics, Lea Lea’s self-titled album is an impressive debut that slices through much of the madness and mediocrity of the current state of music.
A true musician will aim at making a recording that qualifies as a timeless work of art and in the process, touches our hearts and soul. Artist, producer and Wah Wah 45 label head Adam Scrimshire humbly took that position by drawing from his eclectic canvas of musical inspirations, successfully bridging them into carefully woven pieces that escaped the suicidal title of “fusion” and instead flaunted that of “finely executed sounds”.
