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.

“YU GO! RIDDIM” OUT NOW – BALKAN DANCEHALL TAKIN’ OVA

“YUGO”: … a person of YUGO-slavian origin who sometimes immigrate to western European countries (such as Germany, Sweden, Italy, Austria or Switzerland) and is often discriminated by natives of those countries who think that all YUGOs are criminals…”

GERMAICA is in full gear again when Riddim No.19 of Europe’s Dancehall machine is ready to enter the clubs! And once again the label is introducing a brand new trend: “Balkan Dancehall”!

… Dancehall culture saw an enormous growth within the last decade and the music has spread all over of the globe. Like MILLION STYLEZ in “Dancehall Takeover” – the lead tune of the release – says: “Dancehall a world-wide ting right now!”… The instrumental of the “Yu Go! Riddim” is a good example for that. It’s a perfect blend of an authentic sample from the Bosnian 80s music and an up-to-the-time Dancehall beat. It was produced by EMIR “YOUTHMAN” KOBILIC, Bosnian immigrant to Sweden and one half of the dynamic “Balkan Dancehall” duo SANJIN & YOUTHMAN”, who provided the first single on the riddim called “Runnin’ Dis Town”. Carrying an unique vibe his debut Riddim is destined to make all girls swing and the rudies salute!

Further contributions come from a new and hungry generation of young European Artistes like LAS BALKANIERAS (HR/BiH/RUS), SEROCEE (UK), GNUCCI BANANA (S), TOM HYPE (A) or RIGO (S), as well as established forces like the mentioned MILLION STYLEZ (S), RED FOX & MR. EASY (JA) or JOEY FEVER (S).

The “Yu Go! Riddim is available digitally from today…

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!

WHO IS THE SENSIMILLIONAIRE?

Spanish version below: Looks like once again PIONEAR the A&R monster is in full effect…. SHABU – latest signing to the his new GERMAICA DIGITAL label – shows his versatility with the third single for the Leipzig based outlet. After the lovers flavoured single debut „El romántico“ and the Bashment anthem „Keep Me Original“ with Gambian SingJay REBELLION which carried a still heavy rotating video, now the Malagüenian crooner is bussin’ a tune for all the Weed Smokers world wide!

Austrian One Drop Killers HOUSE OF RIDDIM deliver the heavy intrumental on which SHABU delivers a „Black-Uhuru-Style-Sponji-Reggae“ anthem showing off once more his extraordinary songwriting skills and fine delivery.

Who is the „Sensimillionaire“? SHABU – „the Spanish bwoy from a likkle Spanish town“!

Spanish version: Parece que una vez mas el monstruo A&R PIONEAR esta en buena forma…. SHABU – la ultima adquisión en su nueva discográfica GERMAICA DIGITAL– nos enseña su versatilidad en su tercer single para esta disquera establecida en Leipzig (Alemania). Despues del single “El romantico”, amor y sentimiento en estado puro, y el hit de baile “Keep Me Original” con el gambiano REBELLION THE RECALLER, con videoclip en continua rotación, ahora el solista malagueño ha cosechado otra canción esta vez para todos los fumadores de Ganja del mundo entero!

El demoledor equipo de productores HOUSE OF RIDDIM suministra una potente instrumental sobre la que SHABU nos proporciona, con un registro al mas puro “estilo Black Uhuru” otro hit con su extraodinaria destreza y habilidad componiendo y escribiendo canciones.

Quien es el Sensimillionario?? SHABU – el malaguito desde la likkle Spanish town!

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. It was shot in January at locations of the GERMAICA capital Leipzig where TOM HYPE recorded further material for UPLIFTMENT INT’L to be released in the course of the next months. Check out this new talent from Europe!

UPLIFTMENT INT’L will leave Leipzig/Germaica today to play 3 release parties in Poland where the instrumental of the Riddim was created by DREADSQUAD. The shows gonna be: Feb03 Wroclaw/Plan Bashment w/EASTWEST SOUND and CHEEBA (live!), Feb04 Kraków/Bledne Kolo w/REVOLDA SOUND and Feb05 Warszawa/Klub Mandala w/DANCEHALL MASAK-RAH.

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? ?

RIGHTEOUSNESS – EL PRIMERO RIDDIM DE GERMAICA IBERIA

Despues de la buena acogida que tuvo el primero release de GERMAICA IBERIA (Little Pepe & Shabu – “Compartiendo” 2010), el sello esta de vuelta en este 2011 con su segunda referencia.

Ahora presentamos una producción de BLACK AKADEHMY RECORDS, el “Righteousness Riddim”, 2º y nuevo proyecto, de esta discográfica catalana, que esta vez colaboran con la filial iberica de GERMAICA DIGITAL para editar digitalmente este nuevo one riddim. “Righteousness Riddim”, que en castellano significa “la rectitud riddim”, esta inspirado en el Rub-A-Dub de los ‘80 con una melodía pegadiza y una percusiones a tono “Nyahbingi”. El nombre del riddim fue también un guiño al legendario sello Jamaicano “Exterminator”, quien fue uno de los pioneros en promocionar el “New Roots Reggae”. Los artistas elegidos en esta serie han sabido hacer resurgir el estilo Toaster y SingJay de la época.

En este disco, podemos encontrar artistas consagrados de nuestro país como son SHABU, LITTLE PEPE o ZURI, así como artistas internacionales como: REBELLION THE RECALLER, MANDINGO WARRIOR o CLAPPA PRIEST. Sin duda alguna, estamos delante de un nuevo album que demuestra el buen estado de salud que goza el Reggae en nuestro país. Canciones cantadas con humildad y serenidad para tratar los temas más nobles.

“Rightousness” es el nuevo ritmo de BLACK AKADEHMY, sin lugar a dudas uno de los equipos de productores con un sonido Reggae mas fresco en todo el Estado. Este joven talentoso equipo ya nos sorprendió hace un par de años con el “La Nature Riddim” , y recientemente con la instrumental del último single de SHABU “El Romantico” (Germaica Digital 2010), un auténtico hit. Desde aquí os recomendamos que sigáis muy de cerca el trabajo de este prometedor equipo de productores asentados en Barcelona.

Die Crew veröffentlicht regelmäßig Mixe, hat mittlerweile eine Radio-Show und betreibt einen eigenen Blog.

Der Leipziger Sound UPLIFTMENT INT’L wird heute seine erste eigene Produktion den „Question? Riddim“ vorstellen. In wahrer internationaler Zusammenarbeit mit DREADSQUAD aus dem polnischen Lodz, die das blitzsaubere Instrumental lieferten,
