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:

RAGGABALDER RIDDIM REBELS BACK FOR GOOD

Nicknamed the GERMAICA VIKINGZ by us JODDSKI, JAN STEEZY and DRAHPAA are RAGGABALDER RIDDIM REBELS, the Dancehall Soundsystem started by JODDSKI and STEEZY in 2001, out of frustration over Oslos lack of Dancehall clubs. JODDSKI is credited with making the Norwegian language credible for rapping in, and the 2 of them have toured Norway since 2000, up to 2007 with POPPA LARS, making up legendary hiphop band TUNGTVANN. Included JODDSKIs current solo career we are at sometething like 6 albums, 4 eps and countles mixtapes, singles and colloborations.

RAGGABALDER have since 2001 shared stage with everyone from BEENIE MAN to LEE “SCRATCH” PERRY, played all over Europe, won the Oslo club award, held regular clubs all over Norway and dropped a handful of mixtapes. RAGGABALDER favor cutting edge Dancehall over Rastafari and Rub-a-Dub – though playing those styles when in the mood. This time around they include Grime and Hip Hop as well in their selection. RAGGABALDER take their genre deadly serious, but unpretentious, and are known for creative and unexpected Dubplates and Bashment Vibes, as well as putting their Hip Hop background to full use.

Today sees their return from the hiatus they started in 2009. A break they have used to DJ seperately, explored other genres as well as touring and releasing albums with JODDSKIs solo act. “Blå” has held quite a few classic RAGGABALDER sessions, so the Oslo club is a no-brainer as far as where the comeback will be held. Euphoric through the whole comeback, JODDSKI has compiled and mixed 2 Mixtapes with a total of 2 hrs 45 min of his favourite Dancehall, Reggae, Rap and Grime tunes from 2011. Everything done in classic RAGGABALDER fashion. He presents world premieres from WARD 21 and GENERAL DEGREE, as well as a combination from JODDSKI himself and SIRKUS ELIASSEN on the infectious “Yu Go! Riddim”, built by Swedish Bosnian EMIR “YOUTHMAN” KOBILIC, and released by GERMAICA DIGITAL. Dubplates/Exclusives from Norwegian rappers JAA9 & ONKL P, PUMBA & DON MARTIN, SON OF LIGHT, GIRSON and PETE (VÅGSBYGD HANDY) as well as, MR. EVIL,  LOYAL FLAMES, STYLO G, MILLION STYLEZ and SANJIN & YOUTHMAN.

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.

LITTLE PEPE – DE MÁLAGA HACIA EL MUNDO

GERMAICA IBERIA está de vuelta con una nueva referencia del más elegante Reggae bajo el brazo. Tras la indudable buena acogida de sus dos anteriores referencias, este sello sigue apostando por la música jamaicana facturada en Málaga. En esta ocasión, hablamos del álbum debut de LITTLE PEPE: “De Málaga hacia el mundo”, un disco muy completo que demuestra una vez más la versatilidad de este artista Malagüeño.
El titulo alude al sentido y espíritu internacional que late en este trabajo, con colaboraciones que cruzan fronteras y continentes. Ello da como resultado una mezcla exquisita que deviene una gran riqueza musical, del Reggae, Roots al Hip Hop, pasando por el Dancehall, con incluso algunos matices electrónicos.
Este trabajo marcará un punto de inflexión en la escena Reggae nacional, ya que la frescura musical que desprende atrapa desde el primer hasta el último tema. Su primer sencillo es “A trabajar”, una producción noruega de Basmo Family en la que LITTLE PEPE explica desde lo más hondo de su ser la cruda realidad del mundo de la musica.
La vertiente más Dancehall del disco cruza 3 de los 5 continentes. Así, desde Europa, llega el inglés General Levy (UK) en “Baila Cruel” y el francés Daddy Mory en “Make Money”. Desde África, concretamente desde Gambia, llega Rebellion The Recaller en “Tiempos Duros” y desde América… Daddy Banton en “A los manes del control” representando Costa Rica.
Parte del éxito de estos tracks se debe a las talentosas producciones de Bassrunner (Austria), que aporta la fuerza instrumental. Por su parte, el el groove más electrónico viene de la mano de Baymont Bross en “Baila Cruel”.

El Hip Hop se queda mayoritariamente en tierras andaluzas de la mano de dos pesos pesados de la escena: Jefe de la M y Gordomaster (Triple X) en el himno “More Fyah”, además de Juho y sus compañeros de viaje Pinnacle Rockers en “Push” y Dj Pera en las producciones y los scractches de “Producto del Barrio” o “El guiso”. El tema que representa el Hip Hop en estado puro viene directamente de Detroit de la mano de Black Milk, uno de los nombres más relevantes en las listas norteamericanas, con dos versiones de “Champion Sound”: diferentes aromas de la mano de dos grandes productores alemanes: Soulforce desde Krefeld y D-Fekt/Pionear desde Leipzig.
El Reggae Roots tiene marca austriaca gracias a la gran aportación de la banda House of Riddim, con dos producciones que enamorarán a los amantes de los sonidos más Reggae con “Descansen en Paz” y “Rising Up” en colaboración con New Kingston (banda y trío vocal de New York, conocidos por ser la banda de Collie Buddz aunque en esta vez su aportación sea como vocalistas). Desde Alemania llega Jr Blender y Silly Walks, quienes ponen su granito de arena en el éxito “Lo tengo que dar”. Sin olvidar que también en nuestro país se hace buen Roots, muestra de ello son las producciones de Ras Kuko en “Quiere lo tuyo” y “Sigue tu vida”, asi como Black Akadehmy en “Que no te enteras”.

FICHA TÉCNICA

GERMAICA IBERIA: El Reggae en España esta de enhorabuena, el sello alemán GERMAICAN RECORDS (GERMAICA DIGITAL) ha abierto una filial en el estado español bajo el nombre GERMAICA IBERIA, con ella se pretende potenciar el Reggae y Dancehall hecho en nuestro país.

Germaican Records es la discográfica de Reggae-Dancehall pionera en Europa. Con más de 10 años de carrera musical han editado mas de 17 riddims, mas de 100 singles de 45″ y 12 discos (CD/LP). A parte han sido el primer y único sello alemán que ha colocado un single y una canción en los prestigiosas series americanas “Riddim Driven” y “Reggae Gold” editadas por VP Records . Paralelamente han sido los primeros en entrar en el mercado de Polonia (de la mano de Warner Music) y Japón (de la mano de P-Vine Records).

LITTLE PEPE:
Con este disco se consagra una de las nuevas promesas del Reggae de nuestro pais. Despues de un duro trabajo LITTLE PEPE ha encontrado su propio estilo, claramente diferenciado de sus compañeros de gremio. Reggae con sentimiento que habla de las realidades de su barrio, siempre con un mensaje positivo.

Después de la buena acogida que tuvo su anterior trabajo acompañado de Shabu: “Compartiendo” (GERMAICA IBERIA 2009) y de una larga gira con mas de 25 fechas por nuestro pais actuando en festivales como Viñarock 2010 LITTLE PEPE se ha ganado un hueco mas que merecido dentro de la escena Hip Hop y Reggae. Destacables las colaboraciones con Black Milk, SFDK, Triple X, Jefe de la M, El Capaz y Sicario (HP Squad).

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!

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!

Wenn es Euch um Partyvibes der Extraklasse und musikalische Qualität geht, kann es dieses Jahr zu Silvester nur eine Adresse für Euch geben – das WERK 2! Auf zwei Floors gibt es für einen Preis alles was der versierte Clubgänger für den Start ins neue Jahr begehrt, denn zwei der profiliertesten Crews der Stadt sind am Start…

Präsentiert von VELOCITY SOUNDS REC. werden THE SONIC BOOM FOUNDATION die Nacht headlinen. Mastermind JOEY A. VAISING hat einige der wichtigsten Bands Leipzigs aus der Taufe gehoben: THE LEGENDARY TISHVAISING, ((T.A.M.)) und eben jüngst den heutigen Live Act, den ihr in der Halle A ebenso wie die DJs LITTLE ANNE, ROLEX und DRUM C und JOEYs Alter Ego KRTECH sehen könnt. Auf diesem Floor wird es alle Spielarten der Electromusik geben.

SHABU – EL ROMÁNTICO – SINGLE & VIDEO

Spanish version below… „El Romántico“ is the first official solo single of SHABU a gifted Reggae & Dancehall singer from Málaga/España and latest signing to the GERMAICA roster. Let’s hear what the Artiste himself has to say about the song…

SHABU: This song is a new and different attempt to express a higher state of love, a true unconditional and eternal love that would be called idealistic by some. And I say attempt because eventhough I keep saying “I love you like this”, I’ve never found a proper lyrical comparison, so it’s more about letting the soul talk through my voice….

„El real romántico pa’ lo bueno y pa’ lo malo – the real romantic one for the good and the bad.“

Check the video for “El Romántico” here.

The single was produced by BLACK AKADEHMY a young but experienced team of producers from Barcelona/Catalunya doing primarily Reggae music but also Hip Hop beats.

SHABU, GERMAICA DIGITAL and his management company RHYTHM & FLOW are currently working on more single releases which will hit the streets in the course of the next months…

Spanish version: “El Romántico“ es el primer single en solitario de SHABU un promotedor cantante de Reggae & Dancehall desde Málaga/España y la ultima adquisición de GERMAICA. Dejemos expresar al artista para oír lo que tiene que decir sobre esta canción:

SHABU: Esta canción es un nuevo intento de expresar un estado de amor elevado, un amor incondicional y eterno, que algunos llamarán idealista. Y digo intento porque la canción nunca termina de illustrar ese amor con palabras, sino que es la voz la que transmite directamente desde el corazón.

“El real romántico pa’ lo bueno y pa’ lo malo”

Chequea el video “El Romantico” aqui.

Este single ha sido producido por BLACK AKADEHMY un joven pero experimentado equipo de productores de Barcelona/Catalunya haciendo mayoritariamente Reggae music pero tambien algunos beats de Hip Hop.
