Jamaican artist Exile Di Brave has teamed up with Swedish music producer
Bassic Division for the past months releasing already few singles from
their upcoming project.The latest of these releases is "RING DONG
DING", which brings awareness about crime and violence that’s spreads in
the inner-city streets of Jamaica and cities worldwide, where a large
majority of the population or the have nots who are sometimes force or
pressured into illegal activities because of financial strain, which
leads to a lot of potential geniuses becoming lost statistics in the
system.
Rain A Fall returns with more of its lovely roots goodness on a new and
crucial 45rpm that pairs General Soria with Brother Wildman. The latter
kicks off with 'Too Many Worries & Problems' which is a heavy,
hard-hitting digital roots tune with tough lyrics that do not pull any
punches. It's perfect for all roots and sound system enthusiasts, as is
the flipside dub from General Soria which rewires it with extra heavy
low ends and cavernous kicks for summer fun.

Ein Wahnsinns-Tune, der unter die Haut geht und mit bedingungsloser
Liebe nicht viel zu tun hat. Hier wird dem oder der Verflossenen mächtig
zugesetzt. Viele Interpret*Innen haben sich in der nachfolgenden Zeit
diesem Tune angenommen, u.a. Creedence Clearwater Revival, Nina Simone
und Annie Lennox. Das spanische Label Cool Up Records hat sich nun an
eine Reggae-Version des Liedes gemacht und eine feine 7 Inch auf den
Markt gebracht.
Die spanische Sängerin Sailor Smile legt sich auf einem äußerst
angenehmen Reggae-Riddim mit ihrer tollen Stimme mächtig ins Zeug. Die
ursprüngliche Wahnhaftigkeit des Originals dringt dabei durch und macht
diese 7 Inch zu einem angenehmen Release, das gut produziert ist und
Freude macht. Das gilt ebenfalls für die mitgelieferte Dubversion auf
der B-Seite. An der Leadgitarre zaubert Javibi Martin Boix einen feinen
Gegenpart zu dem kräftigen Gesang von Sailor Smile.
