Yes good people. Three new reviews up containing Abassi All Stars "Edutainment EP", Spanish reggae compilation "Reggaespañol Consciente Vol 1" and a review of probably the first Swedish sound system dance featuring two full sound systems. Just check in the Media section under Reviews for them.

Jakob just come home from a weekend in London where he linked up with the talented and very good hearted woman Christine Miller for an interview which will soon feature on the site. Unfortunatly interviews with Danny Vibes, I Natural and Wayne McArthur had to be cancelled due to the fact that time isn't always on our side. Respect still for the opportunity. Also big respect and thanks to Dougie Conscious for all the promos and dubs handed our way.

Check further down for info regarding new releases, the dub documentary Dub Stories and more. Yet first some words of wisdom.

Upcoming & New Releases:
Loads of new stuff coming these days. The following is just the tip of the iceberg. Go seek further and you'll find x-amounts of tunes coming from all over.

Asaiah Records out of Holland got a 10:inch coming soon featuring two fresh tunes from King Shiloh singer Lyrical Benjie. Production by Dubcreator. A crucial combination having in mind that their earlier works contain the classic "Ten Plagues". Tunes on the vinyl will be the stepper "Jah Meekness" and the one drop "Who's Gonna Help?".

Dubcreator also got another 10:inch on the way featuring his productions with vocal contribution from Lyrical Benjie, in "Sign Of The Conquering Lion", and Kenny Knots, in "Babylon City". Should be out late summer on Lion Roots Music.

Swedish dub producer Finn The Giant have plans for a full length album by the end of this year. There's also a 7:inch in progress featuring Swedish singers Lancy Rankin and Elijah. This one shall hopefully be available by august. For those unfamilair with Finn The Giant I recommend you check the net releases on his website which you'll reach HERE

After a endless output of releases its been quit from Barry Isaac for a while. Though not long ago a 7:inch appeared featuring the self produced "Warmongers" on his Reggae On Top label. Good tune going straight to the warmongers head.

Dutch based producer Ryan Moore of Twilight Circus another fresh 10:inch out featuring foundation singer Fred Locks and veteran deejay Ranking Joe on the version. Tunes entitled "Wisdom" and "Don't Be Ungreatful". B-side holds two dub versions for the dub heads. Right now available on M Records.

Lovedub Music label who's been releasing dubplate material from the Conscious Sounds early period has their best release out at the moment. It's non other than the mega wicked King General dubplate "Health, Strength & Power". Best tune I ever heard by King General. B-side holds another previously unreleased tune with East Meets West's "Militant Style". Early Conscious Sounds vibes. Buy without hesitation.

The Dubateers seems to have enough material in their vaults. Out now is their second 10:inch in a short time featuring Singer Blue on vocals on two steppers rhythms. THe first being "Broken Arrow" and the second "Jah Jah Riddim". Both with dubs. Mixed and voiced in Conscious Sounds Studio. Out now on Dubateers Records.

UK deejay Dubdadda has teamed up with female singer Judy Green on Deep Root's latest 7:inch release. Dubdadda is the man behind the production and Judy Green is in charge of the singing on "So Much Confusion". A good tune not to be missed. I hope to hear more from Judy Green since good female vocalists aren't exactly over represented in reggae music.

The French Education label, which previously have been releasing reissues of old JA tunes, has two new releases out. First a 7:inch with Ranking Joe's "Me No Love Wa Gwan" and second a 10:inch with Ras Daniel Ras and Ken Boothe delivers a tune each, "Princess" and "Show Me That Love". Both releases features rhythms provided by the Tu Shung Peng band out of France. Quality reggae music for sure. Mixed at Conscious Sounds.

"Sligoville Tobacco" is a instrumental roots tune while "Are We Really Free" features spoken words by Squire Jon on a different rhythm. Mixed by Russ D at Disciples Studio. Out now on 10:inch vinyl.

More dubplate material is emerging since Gussie P is finally releasing the wicked "Jah Jah Judge" by Rick Wayne which rides the same rhythm as Anthony Bryan's "Son Of The Almighty". Serious roots music. Released on 10:inch vinyl with a instrumental dub, "Cedar Of Lebanon Dub", on the flip. Backing by Mafia & Fluxy as it always is when Gussie P's producing. Out now on Sip A Cup.

Sip A Cup also released a good Michael Prophet 10:inch not so long ago which passed by quite unnoticed but nevertheless it's good modern roots signed Gussie P all over it, "Pressure We Feel". Flipside got stepper pressure with "Dub For Joana".

The Manila Jeepney label who gave us the "Guide Us" rhythm got a new 7:inch coming featuring Tony Roots with "Good People" which is a mellow kind of tune with upfull vibes. Produced by Russ D and Tony Roots at Discples Studio London England. Soon out of Manila Jeepney.

It's been a while but now Lionpaw from Cultural Warriors has a new release in progress featuring Kenny Knots with "Seek Jah The Creator" on the Step It Up rhythm which most definently know from the Barry Brown anthem with same name.

A-side contains "ID Chip" which is a relick of Wailing Souls anthemic "Kingdom Rise Kingdom Fall". B-side contains "Intelligent Design" which rides one of Tena's own original Dub Corner rhythms. Comes with dub counterparts as well. Soon to drop on Dub Corner label.

Idren Natural's work together with French dub producer Munky Lee is finally out. The 10:inch features "Farover", which rides the classic "Kunte Kinte" rhythm, and "A Letter From LIDJ". Comes with dubs. Released on the Black Wheat Sounds label. Well dread!

Irie Ites Records, who lately gained success with their "Zion" rhythm, got a fresh 7:inch out with Spectacular and Turbulence in combination on a modern relick of Burning Spears "Rocking Time" entitled "High Grade". The flipside contains same rhythm with Spectacular running solo on "Chant". Rhythm is built by Mafia & Fluxy and mixed by mixmaster Gussie P. Out now on Irie Ites Records.

Vocalists are Ras Charmer, Murray Man, Prince Livijah and Marga. Ras Charmers "Songs Of Zion" is a real stand out among these. Wicked tune! More info and soundclips HERE

Russ Disciples and Backyard Movements who's dropped some serious 45's in the last 6 months has yet another release ready to be pressed. This time it's a rougher than rough recut of the classic "Drum Song" rhythm featuring UK vocalists Christine Miller with wicked "Run To The Rock" and Anthony Que (originally from JA but now residing in the UK) with "Take Me Away". Make sure to pick this up quick since these will be gone in a flash! Release is set for late June on two seperate 7:inches. Listen to Russ D dropping these live in the dance HERE

Russ Disciples also announces that there's more dubwise Disciples music coming your way although he's currently concentrating on the large amount of vocal pieces he's been working on the past year. "but me nah forget the dubwise bredren, just testing some tune out now, fairly raw and completely new, so just seeing how the feedback for `em is !" to use his own words.

UK label Seek Jah First got two box fresh 10:inches out. One featuring Kenny Knots with "Give I Power" which rides a relick of the classic "Money Money" rhythm. Comes with two dubs and a melodica cut. Second got Singer Blue on vocals and features "The Hills" over another relick which is no other then Desi Roots "Weed fields" rhythm. Again with dubs. Well heavy tunes! A vocal/dub album from Ghetto Priest is also in progress on the Seek Jah First label. More info and news on these later on.

Another Singer Blue release is due as well on the new Dubateers label out of Southend UK. Dubateers is also the name of the production crew behind it. The tune is named "Get Up" and is a furious stepper where Singer Blue urges all to get up and sing Rasta song. "Get Up" alongside the dub tune "The Royal Dub" by The Dubateers will soon be available on a 10:inch. Both tunes comes with dub. Mixed and arranged at Conscious Sounds studio. Loads of releases to come from this new label so watch out.

General D & Deep Roots Music from France has teamed up with Bush Chemist Dougie Wardrop on their latest release which will feature on the Diop Side label. The rhythm provided by Bush Chemist is entitled "Rain & Thunder" and features a digital style with a early ninties feel.

Press HERE for soundclips and further info. Serious rhythm full of vibes!

UK roots label Roots Garden, who recently release the powerful "Black Starliner" by Johnny Osbourne, should have their second 7:inch out right about now. Just like the J.Osbourne piece this one is also produced by Nick Manasseh but features vocals from deejay Brother Culture this time around. Brother Culture shows a different side of himself as he sings instead of delivering fast chat deejaying. You can catch a promoclip of this beautiful roots entitled "Darker Side Of Town" HERE

Manasseh and Brother Culture also have an album in progress on the French Hammar Bass label. From what I've heard this is going to be a versatile album representing four years of work between the two. Album will be entitled "Brother Culture Meets Manasseh" and hopefully it won't be too long before its release.

The Zulu Warrior Jah Shaka has loads of new releases soon to be released. From what I've understood it's going to be individual vocal albums coming with Johnny Clarke, Tony Tuff, Winston Jarret, Strang Jah (Stranger) Cole and Roger Robin. Plus dub albums to follow. Hopefully some of these works will include those crucial tunes Jah Shaka's been running as dubplates over the years. More info and news on these later on. All due for release on Jah Shaka label.

More info and soundclips HERE

About a year or so ago the Rootspirit label released a 10:inch featuring Murry Man over a steppers rhythm very similar to those coming from Jamaica in the mid ninties. Jumpy and upfull. That same rhythm can be found on their new 7:inch release "Me Home" with Ras Alan on vocals. So if you liked that first one this one might do it for you as well.

Makasound has just launched their underlabel Makafresh which will be dedicated to release current Jamaican artists and music. First out is a full album by sweet singing Doniki who used to run with Steady Ranks (check their album "Give Thanks & Praises") as a duo years ago. Personally this is the kind of thing I've been waiting for, a somewhat underated and under recorded artist like Doniki getting the chance and funds to make a whole album by working with Jamaicans top musicans. Massive respect to the Makafresh crew for this one! You can find more info on this release HERE

St. Croix roots outfit Bambu Station will have a new album out in June named "Break The Soil". The album features new St. Croix empress, Reema, on the their hit single "Chance To Grow". Somehing to sooth the souls of all St. Croix massive until Bambu Station's guitarist and vocalist Tuff Lion drops his much awaited solo album. Soon come on Mt Nebo Records.

Revive & Reissue Releases:
French Education label comes back with yet another 12:inch revive release after recent collector gems like Leroy Brown's "Colour Barrier" and Mighty Threes "Rasta Business". Winston McAnuff's classic "What A Man Sow" and "Unchained" are in spotlight this time. The first comes with dub version and the second in extended version with Trinity on DJ chat. Get educated!

German revive label Basic Replay has yet again dug into their mid 80:s collection of English reggae. This time they've reissued a King Culture prodution of the infamous "Cuss Cuss" rhythm. It got a raw and very rootsy sound with its dubby engineering and cheap keyboard sounds. Good cuts by Rod Taylor ("Lonely Girl"), Barry Brown ("Nice Up The Session") and deejay Stamina Ranks ("Taurus Special").

Revival label Cooking Vinyl got another cooking dub piece out on the market with Skin Flesh & Bones meet The Revolutionaries "Fighting Dub 1975-79". This is late seventies dub produced by Lloyd Campbell. On it you'll find some nice dub counterparts to The Itals classics "In A Dis Ya Time" ("Slavery Dub") and "Time Will Tell" ("Scotch Dub") among others.

The Cultural Roots classic "Mr Boss Man" has seen light on a 7:inch once again with Penthouse's newly done repress. Comes with version on the flip. Penthouse repressed Cultural Roots "Devil Ites" not too long ago as well and hopefully this repress won't include the hizz that the previous did. Time will tell.

On one we got Dave Robinson with one tune on each side follow by its dub piece, "Jah Know" and "My Homeland". On the second we got Neville Tate with "Lightning Clap" and "See A Man's Face". Same set up there as well. What makes the Ja Man label a stand out when coming to represses is their good and crisp sound which so many labels who represses their old material seem to careless about.

It has just been announced that Eek A Mouse will license his early back catalogue before his breakthrough over Roots Radics rhythms. "Wicked Shall Not Reign", "Creation" and "My Fathers Land" are the tunes to feature Ripton Hilton aka Eek A Mouse as well as the Barry Brown killer "Mouth A Talk". Four 45s to look forward to.

Lacksley Castell's much sort after "Morning Glory" has now been repressed on LP by the Negus Roots label. Personally I favour this one over "Princess Lady" which also was repressed some time ago. While you at it make sure to check out Horace Martin's LP "King Fe Them" also on Negus Roots repress.

Another much sort after LP which has just found its way to repress is Fredlocks and The Creations Steppers classic LP "Love And Only Love". Contains the crucial classics "Voice Of The Poor", "Homeward Bound" among others. Tribesman label.

After the release of their wicked "The Heat" rhythm earlier this year comes yet another quality roots rhythm named "Solid Ground". It's a mellow one drop which surely will make an impact on release.

All original mixes from back in the days of the seventies when they first were released. Clean sound and good press! The ones releases are: Jr Byles & Rupert Reid with "Chant Down Babylon", Blazing Fire with "Blood Dunza", Hortense Ellis with "Super Star" and Rod Taylor with "Love Jah Always". All to be found on the Ja-Man Records label.

More crucial 7:inch releases comes from the Pressure Sounds label with the obscure "Close The Gate Dread" and "South Africa" by the The (Mighty) Travellers. The Travellers were a vocal trio similar to the style of Earh & Stone and the early works of Black Uhuru. Both releases comes with dubwise cuts on the flipside. Get before gone! If these tunes catches your attention you might also check The Travellers album "Black Black Minds" also on Pressure Sounds. Just released as well. Produced by King Jammy including dubs and deejays versions to many cuts. Read more about these releases HERE

The old time classic of Fredlocks entitled "Love and Harmony" has been repressed once more for our listening plessure. First released in 1975 on the much sought after Jahmikmusic label. Produced by H. Boothe. A heartical Rastaman chant of love and harmony. This 12:inch vinyl comes with Fredlocks vocal and Brigadier Jerry deejays version plus two dub version on the flipdside. The Kingston Connection who's revealed this classic got many more releases out as well as coming ones. Ones that's still to emerge from the pressing plant are Abdulkareem, more Fredlocks, more Creation Steppers, more cuts on the Big Sax label and some wonderful cuts of the hornsman David Madden as well.

The French Makasound label have unleashed probably the best reissue of the year with the obscure Leroy Brown album "Color Barrier". This is deep deep roots music at its best. Comes as good sounding double vinyl for the vinylists. Once again Makasound have dug out a beautiful sounding album from the deep crates of Jamaican music. A limited edition promo 12:inch has also been released featuring the title track and "Gone Gone" on the flipside. Both tracks with deejay versions following.

Teachings/Some words to reflect on before entering the new year of 2006:
If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.
And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.
(Corinthians 13:1-2)

Current top-tunes most likely to hear at a Guidelight Movement session:
1. Malijah - Rasta Pickney (7-inch)
- Great tune by new singjay artist Malijah on a real rootical one drop rhythm. Just heartical vibes all through with a good and easy chorus for the massive to sing along to. Great cut by Lutan Fyah on the B-side as well. Large up Old Capital Records for this one!
2. Kenny Knots - Babylon Fall Down (dubplate)
- Good steppers with Kenny Knots intensively declaring the fall of Babylon is soon to come. Dougie Wardrop production in top form with the Bush Chemists letting off a whole heap of steam on the dub versions. Soon to be released on the Jah Tubbys label
3. Lion - Bun Them Out (10-inch)
- Absolutely wicked rhythm with tuff vocal contribution by the ever militant Lion on the mic. Lion's rock solid flow and the march-like rhythm with its picking guitar and heavy bass is due get any dance kicking. It's getting redder, mount Zion we got to go. It's getting dreader, mount Zion we got to go!
