fine cuts from Reggae 7"s and dubplates for ‘NU SHOOTS

both fresh young talents such as Danny Vibes
and Bobo BlackStar as well as classic tracks
from respected elders of the scene, Junior Murvin, Prince
Allah, Anthony Johnson, Devon Russell, Wayne McArthur and
Mike Brooks. The Nu Shoots inna Roots - Dub Versions partner album
shines a light on the dub riddims which were the version sides on the original

ANTHONY JOHNSON / JAH WARRIOR
Anthony Johnson first emerged from the Channel One stable in the mid
70's with the classic ‘Gunshot’ track, which has become an international
plea to put down the gun. It was recently revived, re-worked and re-released
on the Free Radical Sounds ‘Garage Dubs’ compilation. ‘Africa’, Anthony’s
recent collaboration with Jah Warrior, sees the revisiting of a classic
riddim and a classic track.

'DANGERMAN'
Steve Ital
'Danger
Man' is a streetwise tale of warning to all those "flexing for fussing
and fighting". This crucial cut was produced by Phillip Gadd in collaboration
with Martin Campbell of High Tech Roots Dynamics who record both in
the U.K and Jamaica. Campbell is known both as a producer and vocalist
and worked closely with the Jah Works label before establishing The
High Tech Roots Dynamics in the 90's. Steve Ital is perhaps the newest
vocal talent to have been spotted by the Dynamics team.
'JAH DON'T LET ME DOWN'
Gary
James The Goldmaster All - Stars
The
infectious horn driven skank of ‘Jah Don’t Let Me Down’ comes from Gary James
and The Goldmaster All-Stars. The All-Stars are proud to carry on the 'live'
playing tradition in their music - the majority of Goldmaster productions
are made without sequencers or midi. Strictly live playing, not programming,
is the order of the day.
'UNDERGROUND'
Devon
Russell / Manasseh
Originally
a singer with the vocal group the ‘Tams’, Devon Russell worked alongside
such luminary figures as Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry. Here his soulful vocals
complement the Curtis Mayfield cover version championing the musical
underground. Devon Russell's works continue, despite his passing on
- stored in the digital domain both as reissue and revival.

Factory in Jamaica, recording the tracks ‘Too Much War’, ‘Stride’ and

in the 80s when he served as a regular on the King Jammy's sound.
'WISEMAN'
Junior
Murvin

since his big hit, ‘Police And Thieves’ in the 70s, Junior Murvin's falsetto
delivery has become instantly recognisable. His most recent UK release comes

at his home in Jamaica where he continues to record to this day.
