Many of the tracks you know and love from the 1970's Reggae scene probably featured this group of musicians in some shape or form. The band were put together by Bunny 'Striker' Lee one of Jamaica's formidable producers, who with no studio of his own had to rely on buying studio time from the existing establishments, such as Randy's Studio 17 and the Hookim brothers Channel 1. This was an expensive task and he needed a pool of top musicians who could cut tracks quickly and efficiently. Built around the cream of Jamaica's musicians namely; Carlton 'Santa' Davis, Carlton Barrett [Drums], Robbie Shakespeare, Aston 'Family man' Barrett, Lloyd Parks [Bass], Earl 'Chinna' Smith [ lead guitar ], Tony Chin, Winston 'Bo Beep' Bowen [Rhythm Guitar] Ansel Collins [Piano], Bernard ' touter' Harvey, Winston Wright [ Organ ], Bobby Ellis [Trumpet], Vin Gordon [Trombone], Tommy McCook [Tenor Saxophone ] and Lennox Brown [ Alto Saxophone ]. Vocal duties would usually feature two of Bunny Lee's favourite singers Johnny Clarke and Cornell Campbell who would also fill in if the need arise on Piano and rhythm guitar respectively. The forward looking Mr Lee was inspired by the English music scenes interest in reggae especially the skinhead cultures adoption of all things ska-ish. So much so that he called his reggae shop \/ label 'Agro Sounds' after the skinhead term for fighting \/ trouble..'Agro'. Later when looking for a suitable name for his group what else could it be....THE AGGROVATORS were born. Mr Coxsone Dodd's STUDIO ONE opened its doors in 1963 at 13 Brenford Road Kingston, Jamaica, it would become the name for all his future productions. Coxsone Dodd started out with one of the first Sound Systems in Jamaica, called Sir Coxsone The Downbeat, importing American R \u0026amp; B records to fill his dances. A lack of supply of new \/ original material which is very important to sound system supremacy would lead him during the 1950's to produce Jamaican hits of his own. The Studio One set up would allow the opportunity to experiment and fine tune these recordings. It became a hit factory releasing songs like Alton Ellis's 'I'm just a guy', ' live and learn', Delroy Wilson's 'Dancing mood', 'Riding for a fall', 'Rain from the skies' and Larry Marshall's 'Mean Girl' to name but a few. Versions of which feature on this collection. The updating of Studio One classics which in some cases were reworkings of American R \u0026amp; B tunes [ 'foreign tunes' as they were known in Jamaica ], was common practice. The rhythms were much loved favourites and with the added incentive that the musicians knew the tracks inside out. This set of dubs are straight from the master tapes of such sessions orchestrated by the man Bunny Lee himself, no one knew better ...you can't keep a good tune down never mind a great one. So sit back and enjoy The Aggrovators in fine Studio One style........ \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRESPECT.....

Bunny started his musical career in 1962 working for Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label and soon moved into the world of production gaining his first hit in 1967 with 'Musical Field' by Roy Shirley for the WIRL label. The 1970's was a very productive time for Bunny Lee and saw the launch of his LEE'S label which was producing hits in Jamaica. Not having a studio of his own and renting studio time from the existing establishments like Randy's Studio 17 and Channel One he had to have a crack team of session players to carry out this task, fast and efficiently.

Lung’s latest album. “We didn’t want it to sound live but we wanted to capture the excitement of the live performances.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is something that has become paramount to the group in recent years as they have undeniably blossomed into one of the most joyous and arresting live bands in the country. “The reason I’m in a band is to play live music,” says singer Joe Evans. “For me, music is live music. That’s what it’s for, to be played with people.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five-piece band, also featuring Chris Mulligan, Hannah Peace, and Alex Mercer-Main, decided to try something new on their third album after two incredibly successful collaborations with previous producer Matt Peel. In order to capture the energy, spirit and dynamism of their live shows, they relocated to Sheffield to work with Ross Orton (MIA, Arctic Monkeys, Working Men’s Club) who was able to harness this side of the band to remarkable effect. “Ross is the Sheffield Steve Albini,” says Evans. “He’s the king of not overthinking it and trusting the process of the art of recording songs. He was always there to stop us fucking around with cerebral stuff and get it down.” Sharkett echoes this too: “He was the exact producer we needed without us even realising. His productions and mixes are bombastic, lively and in your face and that’s exactly what we wanted.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, while this album is rooted in a sense of capturing a moment and a sparky liveness, that’s not to say it’s a raw or ragged record. It is still a meticulously composed, delicately layered and pristinely produced piece of work that, in true W.H. Lung style, runs the gauntlet from dance to pop to indie while still capturing that distinctly unique quality that is unquestionably their own. “It was a really big thing for me to realise what made us sound like us on this record,” says Sharkett. “I think the album sounds a lot more confident and self assured because of it. Some songs sound just so much like Lung and I’m really proud of that. I’m not sure we’ve done that as consistently across the other records.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the band have drilled deeper into finding their own singular identity, it’s not a record resting on its laurels. It’s a significant leap forward, expanding on their solid foundations while also breaking new ground. “The big difference with this record is its directness in every sense,” says Sharkett. “The songwriting is more upfront. Previously we’d focused a lot on vibe and production as opposed to just writing songs. The overall mission here was to revert to a classic songwriting structure and for the production to come afterwards.” And so what you have on this record are deeply considered and well-crafted songs, then recorded with blistering intensity in the moment, and then given a touch of experimentation afterwards. Then throw in Orton’s contributions to the band and it’s proven to be a real winning formula. “He brought a real dose of magic to the songs we’d written,” says Sharkett. “And brought an extra bit of wonk and quirkiness each time.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band’s ability to write more traditional and conventional songs is clearly a skill they’ve taken to with ease, at times there’s an almost Springsteen-like quality – but if he'd ever had an ecstasy period – to tracks such as ‘Thinner Wine’ and ‘Bloom and Fade’. While ‘How to Walk’ was constructed with one thing only in mind: that it would absolutely slay on stage. “I can’t wait to play this live,” says Evans. “We wanted a song to represent our live set, a new big one, and this is it.” Once again it leans towards the anthemic, with its driving, propulsive charge complete with incandescent synths and vocal melodies so irresistible you can already hear them being sung in unison by a crowd.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt’s an incredibly difficult feat to pull off a record that is more rooted in traditional songcraft while also capturing the power of a live performance, as well as pushing sonics into experimental new directions while working with a brand new collaborator. But here the band has managed to do just that.  And the album’s closing song ‘I Will Set Fire To The House’ is a perfect example of such a thing. It’s a song that feels immaculately constructed but also very much alive and of the moment as its radiating synths engulf from the off, and Evans’ vocal is silky but powerful and in perfect symbiosis with Peace’s. It’s a song that captures the endless joys of music playing long into the night. “It may be a bit of a bloody bombastic way to end an album saying ‘and we’ll dance into the sunrise’,” says Evans. “But fuck it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMORE PRESS ON ‘VANITIES’ (MELO131)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Vanities artily refines an exhilarating brand of up-front electro-dance\" MOJO ⅘\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Idiosyncratic yet euphoric electronic pop on triumphant second LP' 9\/10 Uncut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e''One of the most effective alternative pop albums of the year'' 4\/5 Record Collector\u003cbr\u003e'Dance music for the modern age' - The Times (4*)\u003cbr\u003e https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/article\/the-best-new-music-albums-records-singles-tpwn520g5\u003cbr\u003eTOUR DATES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e16\/11\/24 - New Century Hall, Manchester 17\/11\/24 - Mono, Glasgow 19\/11\/24 - Cluny 2, Newcastle 20\/11\/24 - Strange Brew, Bristol\u003cbr\u003e21\/11\/24 - Islington Assembly Hall, London 22\/11\/24 - Voodoo Daddys, Norwich 23\/11\/24 - Bodega, Nottingham 24\/11\/24 - Hare \u0026amp; Hounds, Birmingham\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting 1.

Born in Irving and raised on a 12-acre farm in Commerce, Texas, Don Louis learned the meaning of work early on. He grew up tending to livestock, singing along to George Strait and Al Green, and playing football. Done was an All-District defensive end for Commerce High School and played on scholarship at Ouachita Baptist and Southern Arkansas. He performed well at NFL combines, but an injury in 2020 changed everything and Don son found himself chasing his other childhood dream - being a professional singer. Don’s mix of Country, Rock, and Rhythm and Blues has been winning over loyal fans from the start. He’s shared the stage with acts such as Dylan Wheeler, and Don’s personality and gritty voice have also earned him a healthy following on Spotify and social media. Ask Don how he’s doing and he’ll often reply, \"I'm blessed and highly favored!” That attitude says it all. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey MarketingSelling:\u003cbr\u003e-    Debut studio album from Don Louis\u003cbr\u003e-    Don Louis’ music is a blend of traditional country and rhythm-heavy hip hop\u003cbr\u003e-    The single, Liquor Talkin’ peaked at #2 on the Apple iTunes Chart\u003cbr\u003e-    Received early cosign from Tina Knowles, Shaquille O’Neal, Jimmy Butler \u0026amp; Jelly Roll\u003cbr\u003e-    Over 500k monthly listeners on Spotify alone\u003cbr\u003e-    CMT’s June Next Up Artist (Liquor Talkin’ music video aired three times daily on the CMT Music channel\u003cbr\u003e-    Performed at BET Experience Fan Fest, alongside Shaboozey and Reyna Roberts\u003cbr\u003e-    “Don Louis’ latest feels like a natural candidate for the next global country-tinged smash.” --BILLBOARD\u003cbr\u003e-    \"The sultry fusion of country-meets-R\u0026amp;B quickly marked him as a country upstart to pay attention to.\" --TODAY\u003cbr\u003e-    \"He is worthy of this fight for country music stardom\" -- PEOPLE\u003cbr\u003e-    “10 Country and Americana Artists you need to know.” -- Holler\u003cbr\u003e-    \"An artist worth watching\"-- The Tennessean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eA1\/1.

The thunderous pop of their banger \"She's Gone\" even carved out a place for itself in the high-end fashion world, becoming the soundtrack to Yves Saint Laurent's 2016 show. Becoming favourites in the European festival circuit, PYPY offers crazy oddball performances that break the standards of the traditional rock show. Their new album “Sacred Times” will be released this fall 2024 on the legendary company GONER RECORDS, stay tuned!\u003cbr\u003e\"Lonely Striped Sock\" grooves along like \"Earthbeat\"-era Slits\/ESG until the chorus transforms PYPY into something else entirely. Something huge. Something with monster riffs and wah wah that pins you to the back wall. So there is clearly a brilliance with dynamics here, and it proves to be a not-so-secret-weapon that repays the \"ear-vestment\" in dividends throughout. \"Ear-vestment\"? Yikes. Then it's time for \"She's Back,\" a sort of part 2\/continuation (maybe a trilogy is in the works?) of Pagan Day's best-known gem (the aforementioned \"She's Gone\"). This one packs a hook that'll make your brain take out a restraining order. Looking for lost keys? Jury duty? Underwater welding? Negotiating a hostage situation? It doesn't matter...nothing will stop it from invading your thoughts. They say the only way to get a song unstuck from the noodle is to listen to it from start to finish, but you'll be doing that anyway. A lot. \u003cbr\u003e\"Erase\" is a (synth) noise-punk nugget; revealing a need for Brainiac-meets-Blondie we didn't know we had...deceptively kicking off with a no-fi drum machine that is immediately lost in the massive pop din that seemingly includes everything within reach. \"Poodle Escape\" is two minutes of perfect (and perfectly distorted) synth-punk and \"I Am A Simulation\" – with lead vox from Vucino – is yet another hit that deviates from the noise a bit and pays homage to both Devo and classic late-70's (big) power-pop (ex: the first Cars LP), but with a manic nature that is 150% circa right now. \"15 Sec\" (actually 3:38 in duration, thankfully) serves up a stanky-brown bass line, Deschênes' gorgeous vocals, wonderfully combative white hot, pin-the-meters Oh Sees\/early Comets on Fire guitar rips, and a stunning coda that seems to utilize everything great about this band over its final minute. The album's title track is a love letter to Hawkwind in the musical language already established here. \"Vanishing Blinds\" is like being chased through the rain-soaked streets in an unknown dystopian nightmare from 40+ years ago. The album closes with the brooding if not playful menace of \"Poodle Escape,” which, like its predecessors, is completely unlike every track before it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

Their self-titled debut mini album , a hopeful collection of musings, out October 18, 2024 on Carpark Records, is a testament to the distinctive musical style of Auckland jazz-school-trained pianist and songwriter Crystal Choi. Across six tracks, the EP is a love letter to some of the band’s influences: Studio Ghibli films, Zelda and Stardew soundtracks, Bossa Nova, Stereolab, and 90’s Korean ballads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2020, the band played their first gig in a ‘funny side room’ during a festival at Auckland Town Hall. Choi’s songwriting was brought to life with Alex Freer on drums, Simeon Kavanagh-Vincent on guitar and synths, and Benjamin Locke on bass. Choi says she knew the tracks had to be recorded after the band played the songs better than she could ever imagine. And so, remotely through the COVID-19 lockdowns, the band started recording the Mini Album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Daisy” is the vibrant leading single, with the shimmery refrain “Ooh-wee-a-waa” and the uplifting mantra: “When you’re next to me, the world’s full of daisies.” The swirling synths fizz on the skin like warm sun, promising growth and new starts. “Cheshire” is an Alice in Wonderland-inspired trip through the rabbit hole, pacing in anticipation. “Like a Cheshire cat, it grins and disappears in moments when you accept yourself,” explains Choi. Locke and Choi finished the lyrics one evening, huddled in the corner of a local underground music venue, with references to Murakami’s book Dance Dance Dance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoi grew up in Seoul, developing a palette for K-pop and retro sounds. The city-pop influence of “January Blues” shines through, with Choi crediting one of her favourite songs from the ’80s: “연극이 끝난 후 [After Play]”. The track explores her disconnect with the summer break. “In the Northern Hemisphere, January is winter,” says Choi. “I missed that a lot, and I don’t vibe with the beach.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Spissky,” chimes in with Choi’s lilting vocals reminiscent of childhood lullabies, inspired by a lonely-looking castle she saw on tour with Princess Chelsea in Slovakia. While “Ocean” leans into its mumble-core roots, taking a leaf from the Cocteau Twins. There’s an external shift in the EP, with “Lazy Universe” being the most energetic track, evolving with the band’s chaotic sci-fi experimentation. Asking, “Are you still waiting for a kiss?” Choi is self-critical and urgently speaks up from being passive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe members of Phoebe Rings are cemented in the musical ecosystem, balancing other projects and full-time work. Yet Sundays will always be carved out for Phoebe Rings to dream up imaginative, world-building tunes — often with a Nintendo game soundtrack in the background as inspiration. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting Side A 1.

I love the loud neon colours and fashion and the kinetic energy of the music. It’s uplifting and bittersweet with a ton of keyboards, what’s not to like?” reasons Morgane when asked what it is she likes about the decade. This exuberance is brightly reflected in the mirror ball synthpop of her third album released at the end of September. It is her second long player to appear on vinyl after the release of Between The Funk And The Fear debut on the Polytechnic Youth label. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorgane was the keyboard player in Stereolab between 1995 and 2001 during which time they released Emperor Tomato Ketchup (her favourite) and Dots And Loops. As a teenager though she first played the drums, then guitar and bass. She only learnt the keyboards one month before joining the group. “They gave me 40 songs to learn, it was a baptism of fire”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter leaving Stereolab, Morgane first moved to New York for nine years; she’d always planned to move to America having spent a lot of time there with her parents and of course those space-pop pioneers. The warmer weather of LA enticed her though and you can hear its pulse in Day-Glo Chaos. The album’s thumping heart is pumped by the city’s night sky and when asked she cites three particular albums as her favourites: the oddball analogue electro of Jacno’s 1979 debut; John Carpenter’s ‘Escape From New York’ and The B-52’s ‘Cosmic Thing’. There’s also a strong nod to the playful computerised harmonies of Yellow Magic Orchestra whilst she’s somewhat partial to the synth prog of Yes and Soft Machine. “I actually created a synth on Ableton Live named after Rick Wakeman’. I should create one after Mike Ratledge next!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout her work (but especially on this record) you can hear the influence of computer games. “I’m an avid gamer and have been one since I was a teenager and fell in love with my Commodore 64”. Though not a fan of Hotline Miami or the GTA series (“too violent”) she liked Hang On and loved Outrun which she used to play a lot on her Sega Master System. “I just got the soundtrack reissue from Data Disc and it is beautiful” she enthuses. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll see and hear such influences on the lead single from the album ‘Midnite Rogue’ the video to which pays (im)perfect juddering homage to such arcade culture. Car tyres glued to sticky tarmac, French pop music lost in the air. The title was inspired by a Fighting Fantasy book which she adored as a kid. “I love the idea of this entity causing mischief during night time”, she beams. It’s not hard to see why. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist: 1) Teen Beats Highway 2) Theme From Don Henley 3) Yum Yum Yellow 4) Valley Nights (Burnin’) 5) Mid-Temp Neophyte 6) Radio Staccato 7) Diamond Boombox 8) Abstract Daddy Vol 1 9) Allison In Neon 10) Midnite Rogue 11) VHS Nemesis 12) Magic Ears 13) Floppy Disk Symphony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch the video for Midnite Rogue made by Alyssa Borrelli here:\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cWizwfEqFZ8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead an interview here:\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/torchedmagazine.com\/2017\/11\/11\/stereolabs-morgane-lhote-on-becoming-hologram-teen\/\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/weird-sister.com\/2018\/04\/24\/morgane-lhote-hologram-teen\/\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dell’Orso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44506082443420,"sku":"EDDA71CD","price":10.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/2_4174ce0f-6c64-4647-bbdf-0f529b43157f.jpg?v=1728401691"},{"product_id":"shack-h-m-s-fable-blue-lp-1","title":"Shack - H.M.S.

Fable’ encompasses many musical styles, from orchestral guitar pop to psychedelic-tinged folk and even elements of Britpop, nicely summed up by the editor of NME Steve Sutherland in a 9\/10 review, in June 1999:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘’Not since Liam Gallagher howled his early indolent disdain has this music sounded so alive. 'Pull Together' is an anthem easily the equal of Oasis at their most loved-up and huge. ‘Comedy' tender and uplifting, like the missing track from 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'Daniella' a haunted and exhausted homage to Head's hero Arthur Lee, and 'Lend Some Dough' a rollicking Scouse Play For Today with a chorus that goes, \"I've got a sore back and I'm itching’’ ”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shack story is one of music’s greatest legends. It incorporates hardship, bereavement and chaotic misadventure, but above all it tells the tale of beautiful music triumphing over trouble and tragedy.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 80s, the two brothers from the notorious Kensington estate in north Liverpool were singer and guitarist with The Pale Fountains, an effervescent pop group which imploded under the weight of two albums in 1986. The Heads returned in ‘88 as Shack and a debut album ‘Zilch’. In 1991, Shack made ‘Waterpistol’, an inspirational guitar jewel that would have proved just as influential as any British album in that era had the studio not burned down, taking the master tapes with it. Four more years passed, but by the time it was finally released on Marina it had developed ‘lost classic’ status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Heads battled on. They toured as their hero Arthur Lee (RIP) of Love’s backing band.
