The Return Of Rudy Nacho

The very first limited pre-release vinyl copies of Capitol 1212's "The Return Of Rucy Nacho" hit Dublin today at Ireland's one and only dedicated reggae store, "In Dub".

Excitement is building in advance of this debut by Edinburgh's dopest duet and if you're diligent/cheeky/pushy enough, there are a few early copies to be had on wax, but the rest of the world will have to wait until March 30th when "The Return Of Rudy Nacho" will be available digitally from Juno Download, and on vinyl online from Kudos, and from selected record stores....

Irish Moss Records Sessionwith special guest Mowty Mahlyka aka Dark Angel
The Bernard Shaw, 
Richmond Street South, Dublin 2, IE
21.03.14

BOOM! Here we come again with a big night of reggae inspired goodness as the IMR Crew return to The Bernard Shaw for the monthly session... The response to the Feb session was huge, so we thought the only way to top it was to introduce a brand new label signing to y'all. Very special guest for this month's Bernard Shaw session will be MC Mowty Mahlyka (aka Dark Angel). With a couple of releases due this year on Irish Moss, this might be a good time to get yourselves acquainted with Dark Angel.  All the usual crew will be in attendance, Dirty Dubsters, Ancient Alien, and of course, your faithful blogger! It's an early-doors show (8:30) and admission is free, so get yourselves along. Join up on the Facebook Event Page to stay in the loop (and see below for free afterparty info)...I could write you a few lines on what to expect, but it might be best if I let the star turn do the talking...



Dj Carlos Irie (IMR) & DJ Pipes (Boneyard Junkies)
Pacino's
Suffolk Street, Dublin 2, IE
21.03.14

Afterparty time for the IMR Session...and where better than at late night venue Pacino's. It's a link up with DJ Pipes of The Boneyard Junkies, where vinyl goes head to head (or hand in hand) with newfangled digital in what promises to be a great top-off for the night. Pipes has more badges on his jacket than any man we know, and suitcases full of Jamaica's finest wax (nuff said), while your blog writer will be trying to fuse the reggae/hip-hop/bass music universes in a complementary stylee, with a microphone or two free for whatever happens to kick off. Hit up the FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE HERE to check the ins and outs, and bear in mind that while it's FREE ADMISSION at the door, you would be well advised to be there in advance of 2am before the shutters go down and you get locked out in the cold. Brrrr ;)

Remix Fever Dirty Dubster Style

Massive tune in from our Fam in NYC, Liondub International, with the release of Reds ft. Delhi Sultanate "Fever", with Dirty Dubsters on the remix crew.

REDS, a recently-minted East London drum-and-bass duo are dropping their solo vinyl debut featuring vocals from India's Delhi Sultanate and remixes from Canada's jungle don Marcus Visionary, the inimitable Mungos Hi Fi out of Scotland, Irish Moss Records artists Dublin's Dirty Dubsters and one of France's dubstep legends, Von D. The bouncy original from the pair falls close to a dancehall feeling, with understated and low-mixed drums dropping away to accentuate the bounding bass rhythm and the center-stage vocal performance.

The old-school jungle style of Marcus Visionary comes through strongly in his rolling remix, which revels in the rush of tumbling drums and blasts of mid-range bass. Mungos Hi Fi give this release a solid reggae re-lick with new sound clash style vocals from Delhi Sultanate and sweet choruses from longtime collaborator Begum X out of India. This particular Mungos riddim released earlier in 2013 to great acclaim featuring vocals from none other than Soom-T on her "Bong Bong" anthem. The Dirty Dusters offer up a unique, Euro dancehall twist on their high energy remix. Full vocals and simple, yet, catchy grooves wind up the track in a unique style. From his rich past on labels like Argon, Black Acre, and Boka, it would be expected that Von D give an altogether more contemporary treatment, and fittingly he reduces the tempo, ups the atmospherics, and brings in brutal walls of battering bass in half-step time for the smokers in the room while leaving most of the vocals, which were so present in the other mixes, on the cutting room floor. The transformative ending to this widely-varied EP gives balance and range to the release and presents a strong debut offering for REDS and Delhi Sultanate as Liondub International continues its charge towards new territory for 2014.

REDS ft. Dehli Sultanate "Fever" is available exclusively HERE from Juno Download until it's general digital release on March 7th, following a limited vinyl release on the 1st.
Check out the music video for the original cut, and below that it's the Dirty Dubsters Remix on the Soundcloud Player.

Something for the weekend from the Champian Lovah

Dublin Crew!

The "Champian Lovah" that is Dirty Dubster Bazza Ranks (aka. DJ Obese) is on da loose in the streets of our fair city again this weekend, flying the flag for Irish Moss Records and ready to serve up the badman tunes to the town...

On Friday night Bazza hits The Bernard Shaw with Scribble Soundsystem's Tom Beary for a night of "Island Sounds". Place rocked for the last IMR session so we can't imagine this being any different, especially with Tom at the helm...nuff respect sah! For directions check out the Facebook Event Page, where we're told to expect dancehall, reggae, calypso, cumbia, reggaeton and sounds influenced by the Caribbean. Gate pressure is a big fat zero...yes it's a free event, with 8pm doors, so get down early!

Saturday it's off to Sweeney's Underbelly with Mr. Ranks, for the weekly Worries Outernational dance...a fine Dublin institution. The Dubster joins the Worries Crew as this weeks special guest for Reggae Fever in the basement venue at Sweeney's, where the crowd are always assured a top quality mix of roots, dancehall and a champion dub plate selection. Another free event and big favourite with all local crews, so again, get there early people. Don't forget to pay Worries Outernational a visit on Facebook to keep up with their gwannin's...

On Sunday our best guess that the Champian Lovah will take the day off, do his laundry...whatever it takes to stay champion. Man must be fighting fit for the next Irish Moss Records session with The Energy Collective on March 1st. It's back to a full live show for Dirty Dubsters and promises to be a huge night.

Catch you on the dancefloor Massive.

Peace!
