The Klagenfurt based label GERMAICA AUSTRIA is back with yet another release, the somewhat unusual ‘Alpine Rock’ Riddim! Like an avalanche from the top of the Austrian Alps into the valley, the heavy Roots-Rock-Riddim rolls downhill. It features well established as well as promosing newcomers of the genre, namely CHUCK FENDA, ZAGGA, DARRIO & NUNI, LAVISH and KENNY SMYTH!

The ‘Alpine Rock’ Riddim selection is available from September 20 2019 on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Google Play and all other digital outlets.

Exactly 20 years ago on 09/09/1999 GERMAICA was founded. We like to take the opportunity to thank everybody involved, all colleagues, artistes and producers who contributed, all people who supported the label and all sounds, DJs and Selectors who played and pushed our releases.

To celebrate label style we decided to re-release the complete back catalogue of MESSER BANZANI – the pioneering Ska & Reggae band from East Germany and predecessor of GERMAICA. It was this band where cousins and then vocalists PIONEAR & TOM started producing riddims and evolved the idea of building a platform for fellow artistes like GENTLEMAN to make their first steps and to support SEEED soon after. In case u never know it was MESSER BANZANI – renamed THE FAR EAST BAND – serving as backing band for the “Journey to Jah” years of the Cologne SingJay.

The MESSER BANZANI ANTHOLOGY consists of all 5 studio albums of the band plus a sixth volume with remixes, edits and bonus tracks. Enjoy this authentic piece of German Reggae history for the first time available in digital format for streaming and download!
