V.A. – DE LA M RIDDIM OUT NOW

The new wave of Latin Reggae is here: GERMAICA LATINA presents it’s debut „De La M Riddim“! Produced by HEAVY ROOTS and JEFE DE LA M out of Spain, this one-drop scorcher aims straight at the dancefloor, with a rolling bassline that keeps your head nodding from start to end.

The Riddim features an impressive line up of artists from across Latin America. Venezuelan-based Rototom Reggae Contest Latino winner ADELKING kicks things off with a militant cry for peace in „Mi Cañón“, while Colombia’s hottest Ragga MC AFAZ NATURAL keeps the energy elevated with „Souljah del Ghetto“. Argentina’s freshest new voice FRANCO VERÓN hits hard with his big tune „Killa,“ as does the Dominican Republic’s veteran NEWTON with „Traigo Plena“. The Riddim is rounded out with the smooth voices of two North American Latin Reggae greats: latin-fusion band BAYONICS from San Francisco, California gives a warning about the „Batalla en Babylon“, while LENGUALERTA from Mexico sings one for the ladies with „Mujer (Tu Poder)“.

Uniting Latin America one tune at a time, the „De La M Riddim“ is available now on iTunes, Spotify and various other digital outlets!

WARD 21 – STILL DISTURBED – OUT NOW

It’s #RealDancehall for #RealPeople, it’s a #RealAlbum with #RealMusic! WARD 21’s fifth studio record „Still Disturbed“ is here!

What started with the monster single „Mic Magician“ late last year and continued with the pre release of the second single „Spot The J“ one week ago comes to it’s birth today. A new chapter in the history of Waterhouse’s MAD FAMBILI kicks off!

Unlike the usual compilation of already released 45s which are common for Dancehall albums, WARD 21’s „Still Disturbed“ is well laid out and constructed. Respect to the forefathers of Dancehall is shown with relicks of the classic „Stalag“, „Heavenless“ and „Far East“ Riddims. Short Skits introduce to the different segments of the album. Brand new Gangsta tunes, Girls tunes and of course the obligatory WARD 21 weed anthem is not missing as well.

Productions mainly come from group members KUNLEY and SUKU with KING JAMMYS sons JAM 2 and BABY G contributing one production each. Features are few but exclusive: SEAN PAUL, KONSHENS and “Bada Bada Gang” members MARCY CHIN and DEWUNN.

„Still Disturbed“ is a course in the history of the last 15 years of Dancehall, it’s the essence of Dancehall and nothing less than saving the integrity of the genre. WARD 21 might modernize and update their music, but „always keep the roots of the music alive so that  Dancehall can survive“. WARD 21 do what they love, they don’t plan songs because music comes natural to them! Real raw Dancehall is what WARD 21 deals with, what that is? If u stand infront of the speaker boxes and the Kick and the Bass just thump in ur tummy! Dem kinda Dancehall WARD 21 is talking about!

XLERATION – THE 20TH GERMAICA RIDDIM – OUT NOW

After almost 15 years of label history and global smashs like the “Doctor’s Darling” and the “Cure” Riddim, and TANYA STEPHENS monster hit “It’s A Pity“ or T.O.K.s „Shining Star“, today we release the 20th GERMAICA Riddim!

For the „Xleration Riddim“ Leipzig based Dancehall Soundsystem UPLIFTMENT INT’L and upcoming producer TINY DAWSON joint forces to deliver a firmly Reggae rooted Instrumental which as well easily bridges the gap to nowadays sound aesthetics and arrangements.

Label chief PIONEAR digged deep in the label vaults and came back with a 2003 VYBZ KARTELL called “Marihuana Gone To Bed” to contribute to this jubilee release. AGENT SASCO sounds really “Michael Jackson-ish” on his “Universal Language (Love)” while the pre release single “High Grade” is another Ganja anthem by Dancehall Veteran MR. G aka GOOFY alongside Jamaican newcomer VERSHON and Ugandan Superstar BOBI WINE. The last song represents the growing European Dancehall fraternity with Bosno-Suedes SANJIN & YOUTHMAN and their entertaining “For A While” which is as well part of their debut EP “Balkan Dancehall (GERMAICA DIGITAL).

LAS BALKANIERAS are back with a brand nju single and video. This time they hijacked MILLION STYLEZ‘ signature song MISS FATTY and turned it into a propper „Balkan Dancehall“ anthem.

But don’t mess around with FATIMA!

LAS BALKANIERAS currently preparing a string of singles to be released throughout this year and just started to go on the road again with upcoming shows in Germany, the UK, Sweden.

YU GO! JAPAN RIDDIM

Here YU go with the first official Riddim release on our latest sub-division GERMAICA JAPAN. In co-operation with our local partner SUNNYSIDE RECORDS we’d like to introduce the YU GO! JAPAN RIDDIM! – on 2 singles, 4 Artistes from 4 different cities are to check…

First up is J.T.C. FEAT. T. from Tokyo. They are one of the hottest Dancehall Reggae groups from Japan with leader CHOP STICK and the young star DeeJays J-REXXX & TANAKEN. Eventhough they are a new group, they have already some hit tunes under their belt and over 60 songs recorded. The lyrics are about their love to an international sweet originating from the „Sachsen-Anhalt“ region in Germany: BAUMKUCHEN! Japan knows the deal!

Next is a track called BURNING MAN the debut of AIKYO – a new voice from Izu/Shizuoka. He is an upcoming DeeJay known for his country soldier style and variations of melodical Ragga flows. Positive vibration and straight lyrics with a rebel message are his musical weapons to fight against the evil. AIKYOs lyrics are about the current social problems of Japan such as nukes and the corrupted political system.

ARARE from Yokohama/Kanagawa is an artist who is deeply addicted to writing lyrics and producing riddim tracks. He writes lyrics rooted in his quite unique way of thinking. The goal he wants to achieve is going out to the World with localism. MUSIC SALESMAN is about how he enjoys shaking hands with Germany to fight against English speakers.

The fourth track comes from 4X4 and called SHAMPOO IS LIMITED ONCE AGAIN. 4×4 – originating from Sayama/Saitama – is the No. 1 slackness DeeJay from Japan. He is a member of the well-known Reggae group SHOWRENTAI. The lyrics are about his daily practice to wash pubic hair with shampoo to attract girls…

The YU GO! JAPAN RIDDIM is our first step into the Japanese Dancehall business and we’re proud to represent for those talented Artistes from Nippon! Single No. 1 is available from now on. The second one will be released on Sep26.
