Don Hickey - Dancehall Rock

Harmodio / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US

N/A

"Dancehall Rock" is on a killer one-away riddim that sounds tempo influenced, and no surprise then that Don popularly sung over the tune for Star Trail in the 1990s on their killer lick of tempo.

Midnight Riders - Raise Again / Gifted Roots Band - Version

Tasha / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1987

Rise Again

"Raise Again" originally came out in 1987 on Tasha's one-away Under Pressure label. Another fantastic mid '80s rhythm from the Gifted Roots Band, this one infuses digital vibes with the live Channel 1 sound.

Anthony Selassie - Variety

Rythem Track / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US

¥1180 (US$7.80)

round this time Selassie was a young artist hanging with the Youth Promotion crew as well as Callo's Rythem Track crew. This rugged live-digital (played, not programmed) tune was cut at Music Mountain studios, and to us has a similar vibe as the great live-digital Leggo Sounds releases we put out a while back. "Variety" was until recently very obscure, being released only in NY, on a 12" on the Genesis Music label, operated by a former Bronx record shop.

Junior Khadaffy - Rampers Music / Version

Stereo Uprising / Deeper Knowledge US 1989

N/A

A mythical tune for all serious digital reggae collectors, finally reissued. The obscure Junior Khadaffy (various spellings!) released only a handful of tunes in the mid-late '80s, but all are fantastic. This one was cut for E&F Studios in the Bronx, ran by the late artist I-Plee. Stereo Fletcher happens to be family to I-Plee, producing several records by the artist for his own labels. But the works went both ways, and Stereo produced this one for release on E&F's in-house label. Slick but killer digital reggae, this one has always reminded us of the production style of Little Kirk's "Weed Them Out", a fantastic arrangement, great vocals and a complex head-nodding rhythm. The original press is extremely rare and the tune is simply too good to remain that way, so here it is, top top top shelf '80s digital, now available for all.

Nitty Gritty - Turn Them Back / Turn Them Back Dub

Prince Jammys Dub / Dub Store Records JPN 1986

Tempo

¥1980 (US$13.09)

You might have seen Jammy playing this devastating sound killer in sessions lately, although before that this Nitty Gritty on Jammy’s ‘Tempo’ has only been heard on dubplates. No one knows why it never came out – is it because it was a counteraction to Tubby? Or tune that was the lethal weapon of Jammy? There is nothing we can do but imagine those pictures when listening to the intense energy and impact of this tune.

Don Hickey - Let Us Co-Oprate

Harmodio / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US

¥1180 (US$7.80)

"Let Us Co-Operate", pure heat in a one-away riddim style, and the original cut of the tune which Don sung over a few years later for the Chopper label.

Suru Board - Serious Thing

Jam Rock / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1987

N/A

From 1987, a piece of one-away digital fire, "Serious Thing" by Suru Board. Originally released on Tuff Gong studio's 56 Hope Road label, and produced by Tuff Gong mainstay and Jam Rock label boss Denzel Bowford, alongside the late Wailers' associate Trevor Bow. This is prime digital reggae, a scorching riddim with killer synths, and fantastic vocal from the young Suru Board (please note, the spelling of "Surn" Board on the original label was a typo!) Like the lyrics say, "serious mi serious, and me nah mek no joke!", serious digital reggae, deservedly available again.

Tony Tuff - Ram Dance Style

Vena / Dub Store Records JPN 1987

Tonight

¥1980 (US$13.09)

A very well-acquainted Dancehall classic rhythm "Tonight". Vena's version is without a doubt one of the top rated remakes alongside Jammys'. Melodious and melancholic arrangement meets Tonny Tuff's gourgeous singing - it's the true charm of Dancehall music.

Tony Tuff - Careless People / Careless People Version

Redman / Dub Store Records JPN 1989

¥1280 (US$8.46)

Tony Tuff, who was one of predominant figures in the 80’s dancehall scene, showcases his low-keyed performance and sings about careless people who cannot wash, cook, iron, clean, he warns them to learn something. This speedy bouncy rhythm, which is very similar to Redman’s classic rhythm “Koloko”, symbolizes astonishing sound works of Redman’s rhythm building.

Straight from Maxfield Avenue, 1989, Castro Brown's New Name Muzik outfit produced some of the best of the first wave of digital roots. Here are a couple of their finest outings. Andrew Bees has two of his finest tunes in "Struggle & Strive" and "Life in the Ghetto", both re-released here for the first time ever. These stand right beside his classic "Militant" on Music Lion as early classics of the emerging style.

¥1100 (US$7.27)

Courtney Melody jumped on it, a rare outing for the artist on a full live-band Channel 1-cut riddim! But "Watching You" shows how Mr. Melody can ride this kind of riddim just as well as ever.

Mystic - Youths Get Tricked

Leggo Sounds / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1986

N/A

As a long-time Orange Street producer, record store owner and then studio owner, Leggo has built a solid catalog of both wicked roots and dancehall, from the 1970's all the way thru the 1990's. For some time we've been huge fans of Leggo's productions, but as collectors we've found many of them inexplicably hard to find.

Hax - Duppy

Leggo Sounds / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1986

N/A

From 1986, "Duppy" by The Hax. A tune which blew us away from first listen with its amazingly advanced digital riddim, played live and arranged by Leggo's longtime spar Flabba Holt of the Roots Radics. The Hax, another unsung DKR favorite singer who did most of his recording for Leggo, sings "Duppy", delivering a warning with a killer Waterhouse-style vocal…."nuh go dung deh!"
