ALBUMS / LP / 33T

Produced by Sonya Pottinger.

1963-1965 recordings

With El Vuelo del Babrik, Los Babriks present a fascinating debut album – a blend of Colombian, Peruvian and other South American musical influences. Deeply rooted in the guitar-heavy Chicha style and enriched with Reggae elements, especially evident in the distinctive organ melodies, the band led by Mauricio-Joran Ceseña creates a unique sound that transports listeners to the golden era of Cumbia and Chicha.
Mixed by aDUBta (aka Andreas Bauer) the Attic Roots Studio.

Remastered Edition.

Originally released on the Sally B label in 1986, You’ve Changed was produced between Jamaica and Canada. Recorded and mixed at Channel One Recording Studio, the riddims were laid in heart of Jamaica and digitally enhanced in Canada, synthesizing old school reggae with new electronic music into a digi roots overdrive. Styles, languages, ancient history, politics and day-to-day living seamlessly intertwine in what could be described as an avant-garde science fiction album, incredibly modern, even more so today.

"Rob Smith, RSD is not only a successful dubstep producer and pioneer of the Bristol sound, but also a very popular deejay travelling the world sharing his music. Coming from a reggae background and well-versed in sound system culture, Rob kept some of his best productions for his exclusive use when deejaying, the only way you would hear these gems was being played in one of Rob's sets. Fortunately, we've managed to persuade Rob to let Reggae Archive Records share these dubplate specials with a wider audience on a limited-edition vinyl LP. Compiled and sequenced in conjunction with Rob, the LP features nine tracks newly edited and mastered by Rob to enhance the bass playback on vinyl, it's cut heavy! The tracks were recorded between 2006 and 2011, a time when one strand of dubstep heavily embraced reggae and dub. Rob calls these tracks reggae infused dubstep and that's what they are, but Reggae Archive Records is a reggae label and this selection of dubstep tracks will most certainly appeal just as much to reggae and dub fans. Fusing dubstep beats, reggae samples, and seriously heavy basslines, this is a joyous celebration of musical cross fertilisation that has been tried and tested in clubs worldwide. In keeping with the dubplate origins of the tracks, we have designed the labels to replicate an old school acetate, while the sleeve pays tribute to seventies pre-releases albums with a replica stamp giving just the artist and title on a plain white sleeve with aged effect"

Earth Running, originally released in 1979 on the Tappa’s Stars label, can be considered the Jamaican’s toaster’s maturity album. Lyrics here are rooted in the “ghetto life” as always. A work with an international flavour: On Side B, two convincing dance tracks, the anthemic funkfest “Freak” and “One More Chance”, often championed by DJs in the following years. A work that explored new territories, a mandatory re-issue for all authentic reggae lovers.
