DR. RING DING – BOMBOKLAATÓWKA

Here we go with the second of 4 more singles on the UPLIFTMENT INT’L/DREADSQUAD produced QUESTION? RIDDIM. Everybody – especially in Poland – remembers DR. RING DINGs 2011 smash hit POLISH VODKA and its video which was shot in Warsaw… Like for Hawkey the QUESTION? RIDDIM fits perfectly for „The one & only real German Dancehall veteran“. And it fits that much that he voiced a self-counteraction to POLISH VODKA!

BOMBOKLAATÓWKA was „invented“ as an imaginary drink at the incredible release party for the QUESTION? RIDDIM at „Dancehall Masak-Rah“ – the best Dance in Eastern Europe. When PIONEAR premiering POLISH VODKA telling the people to get some „Żubrówka“, „Wyborowa“, „Wisniówka“,  Cytrnówka and … get some „Bloodklaatówka“… A verbal forward turned into the idea by MALIK from SINGLE DREAD SOUND (Węgorzewo/Mazury) to do a song… And here we go with the recipe for the drink that „make your brain melt“. Of course with the trade mark ironic lyrics of RYSIEK but not missing the advise of THE DOCTOR to not exaggerate the drinking. This one is destined to be a next hit for DR. RING DING. And maybe not only in Polska like the one before…

Bomboklaatówka is set for an April 19 release. In the meantime you can grab 1 of just 100 Pre Release digital copies at our SoundCloud:

ROLL IT! – NEW HAWKEYE SINGLE

There’s no QUESTION?… This Riddim is getting the best out of HAWKEYE again!

This Artiste was already voicing the first international GERMAICAN RECORDS Riddim BITCH back in 2000… Extraordinary skillz, a murder flow and catchy hook lines are the trade mark of Kingstonian DeeJay HAWKEYE. Shot to stardom with hits like ARREST MI OFFICER, WHICH FASSY, DAMN IT or MONEY MAKING GUY, HAWKEYE run the Dancehall in the late 90s with the „Main Street“ camp and Artistes like General Degree, Red Rat and Goofy. At the turn of the Millenium he formed the IN THE STREETZ family with Mr. Vegas and Alozade…

Now HAWKEYE is back with his krazy weed anthem ROLL IT! – showing a different side of his songwriting skillz and starting the next chapter of his career releasing on his long time friend PIONEARs new label GERMAICA DIGITAL. The instrumental base for the song is last year’s UPLIFTMENT INT’L/DREADSQUAD produced QUESTION? RIDDIM and ROLL IT! the first of 4 more separate singles on it, which will be released monthly from now on… So stay alert to find out who else voiced the QUESTION? RIDDIM…

ROLL IT! is set for a March 13 release. In the meantime you can grab 1 of just 100 Pre Release digital copies at our SoundCloud:

DR. RING DING – POLSKA WÓDKA DOBRA BARDZO JEST/POLISH VODKA IS THE BEST – SINGLE & VIDEO

English version below… Numer DR. RING DINGa wydany przez GERMAICA oznacza najlepszy tjun z potencjałem hitu. Począwszy od bezcelny „Vom Vatter“ który wyznaczył standard dla niemieckiego Dancehallu w 2001, ostatnia dekada zaowocowała takimi kawałkami jak „Doctor’s Darling“ (Doctor’s Darling Riddim), „Bombs Over Baghdad“ (Pharaoh Riddim), „Mafia“ (Typhoon Riddim“), „Dancehallfieber – Wer kennt die Frau?“ (Messer Banzani Riddim) czy „Dancehall Nice Again“ (Money Bag Riddim). Teraz prawdziwy weteran niemieckiego Dancehallu ponownie nawiązał współpracę z Lipską wytwórnią, by nagrać swój niesławny numer „Polish Vodka“ na riddimie „Question“ wyprodukowanym przez UPLIFTMENT INT’L i DREADSQUAD. Utwór jest hołdem złożonym najlepszej na świecie polskiej wódce i Polakom.

Klip został nakręcony w zeszłym miesiącu w Warszawie. Produkcję zakończyła oficjalnie najlepsza polska impreza Dancehallowa – „DANCEHALL MASAK-RAH! DR. RING DING, GERMAICA i UPLIFTMENT INT’L pragną podziękować wszystkim zaangażowanym w to niezapomniane przeżycie!

Sprawdźcie klip Dr. Ring Dinga – „Polish Vodka“!

English version: DR. RING DING releasing on GERMAICA means quality tunes with hit potential… Starting with the notorius „Vom Vatter“ which set the standard for German language Dancehall back in 2001, the last decade saw great songs like „Doctor’s Darling“ (Doctor’s Darling Riddim), „Bombs Over Baghdad“ (Pharaoh Riddim), „Mafia“ (Typhoon Riddim“), „Dancehallfieber (Wer kennt die Frau?)“ (Messer Banzani Riddim) or „Dancehall Nice Again“ (Money Bag Riddim). Now the only real German Dancehall veteran teamed up again with the Leipzig-based label to record his infamous „Polish Vodka“ over the UPLIFTMENT INT’L/DREADSQUAD produced „Question? Riddim“. The song is a hommage to the best Vodka in the world, the people and the country of Poland!

The video was shot last month at locations of the Polish capital Warsaw culminating in the official video shoot party at Poland’s most important Dancehall regular DANCEHALL MASAK-RAH! DR. RING DING, GERMAICA and UPLIFTMENT INT’L like to thank all the people involved for making this an unforgettable experience!

GERMAICA AUSTRIA – TOM HYPE – EUROS -SINGLE & VIDEO

German version below… 2011 sees the start of our latest European division GERMAICA AUSTRIA with TOM HYPE being the first Artiste to represent the „Dancehall from the Alps“. His debut single „Euros“ on the UPLIFTMENT INT’L/DREADSQUAD produced brand new „Question? Riddim“ is gaining momentum in TOMs home country and so the next logical step is to release a video for the tune.

Check out this new talent from Europe!

German version: 2011 startet unsere neueste europäische Filiale GERMAICA AUSTRIA mit TOM HYPE als erstem Artiste der „Dancehall from the Alps“ repräsentiert.

Riddim“ nimmte gerade Fahrt in TOMs Heimatland Österreich auf, und so ist der nächste logische Schritt ein Video für den Tune zu veröffentlichen. Es wurde im Jänner/Januar in der GERMAICA Hauptstadt Leipzig gedreht, wo er sich zu Studioaufnahmen für UPLIFTMENT INT’L aufhielt. Checkt das neueste Dancehall Talent aus Europa aus!

QUESTION? – THE FIRST UPLIFTMENT INT’L RIDDIM

With this one Leipzig’s premier Sound UPLIFTMENT INT’L enters the producers arena! Gaining experience in the studio by producing their Mixes and Dubs it was just a matter of time until the crew would start releasing their very own voicings…. And here we go with their debut the „Question? Riddim“! The instrumental is provided by DREADSQUAD from Lodz/Poland but some „Questions?“ are left:

1st Question?: Why JAH MASON records his 1999 smash hit „Fire“ again as FIRE 2011?

2nd Question?: Why the WARD 21 tune JUMP & SKIP was released previously already on a different label?

3rd Question?: Why DR. RING DING with German/French origin is biggin‘ up POLISH VODKA?

4th Question?: Why two Muslims like SHABU & REBELLION recorded KEEP ME ORIGINAL their combination with lyrics about God in a city the Pope blessed not too long ago?

5th Question?: Why JR. BANTON & MANDINGO sound like they recorded their tune DAGGADANG back in 1992?

6th Question?: Why TOM HYPE – first Artiste on our newest local division „Germaica Austria“ sings all the lyrics of his tune in Patois except for the word EUROS?

7th Question?: Why LAS BALKANIERAS‘ song was renamed from „Marin“ to MLADEN?

8th Question?: Is it just coincidence that CHEEBA of EastWest Rockers from Wroclaw calls his contribution to the riddim WYSOKI LOT which means „Fly High“ just like the dance of Upliftment Int’l?

9th Question?: Are SANJIN & YOUTHMAN signed to „Germaica Balkans“ now and is their tune VADIM PISTOLJ supporting the violence in the Dancehall??

10th Question?: Why the DREADSQUAD relick of the classic „Answer“ Riddim was re-named to QUESTION? ?

You can listen and download the QUESTION? RIDDIM MegaMix here.

FLY HIGH! CHEMNITZ

Gegründet im November 2002, ist das Soundsystem UPLIFTMENT INTERNATIONAL rasch zu einem der drei führenden Sounds der sächsischen Dancehall-Szene avanciert. Sound Boss DJ FLO und DIDI RANKS haben innerhalb der letzten 2 Jahre gemeinsam mit Deutschlands Dancehall Entrepreneur und GERMAICA Frontrunner PIONEAR einen brandneuen Dance als monatliche Veranstaltung für die Fans der Jamaican Bass Music etabliert, das „Fly High!“. Das musikalische Profil reicht von Dancehall über Hip Hop & R’n’B bis hin zu Tropical. Nach Leipzig wird in Zusammenarbeit mit dem „N’dorphin Club“ das „Fly High!“ nun regelmäßig die zweite deutsche Stadt besuchen: Chemnitz!

Der Hostsound UPLIFTMENT INT’L wird heute seine erste eigene Produktion den „Question? Riddim“ vorstellen. In wahrer internationaler Zusammenarbeit mit DREADSQUAD aus dem polnischen Łódź, die das blitzsaubere Instrumental lieferten, enstand ein Re-Lick des klassischen „Answer“ Riddims. Als Label fungiert der Präsentator des „Fly High!“ GERMAICA DIGITAL. Die Songs kommen von u.a. JAH MASON, WARD 21, Dr. RING-DING, SHABU & REBELLION, oder Jr. BANTON & MANDINGO.
Ein besonders hitverdächtiger Beitrag stammt aus dem österreichischen Kärnten – „Euros“ von TOM HYPE, der der erste Artist auf der neuen GERMAICA AUSTRIA Dependance ist und zur Feier der Veröffentlichung des „Question? Riddim“ als Live-Gast zum ersten Mal überhaupt in Chemnitz performen wird.

Komplettiert wird das Line Up des ersten „Fly High! Chemnitz“ von der lokalen SUNOMONTO CREW, bekannt für ihr abwechlungsreiches Juggling. Wer sich an das UPLIFTMENT INT’L Gastspiel letztes Jahr im „N’dorphin“ erinnert, weiß wie gut beide Crews zusammen agieren können. Es ist also alles bereitet für ein erstklassiges Debut von Chemnitz’ neuestem Dance! So all Fly High!-, and Chemnitz-Party Crew line up for the start of a brand new Bass Experience, line up for Fly High! Chemnitz!
