Bok Bok's new mix for the LuckyMe family:

"Bok Bok - Manara's Golden Fleece Mix.

About 3 years ago I was dredging a vintage shop and in a coffin amongst a bunch of the tweed I found a polyester vision in gold that you see on the left. The shit was kinda show-y to wear in public too often so I gave it to homeboy Joe Ballers. Then when this dope, dope mix landed in my inbox from Bok Bok I found out the full story that Joe had got drunk last week and had gifted it to Bok Bok in return for this mix. The stuff of legend - this jacket is like the littlest hobo of streetwear. Straight up, this tape is banging. Thank you to Bok Bok.

Peace to Manara, you wear it well. But for how long before it leaves you?"

Army of Dub- Alton Ellis vs. Kromestar (Luisao bootleg)


via the BBC:

"12 October 2008 - Reggae singer Alton Ellis died of cancer in a London hospital at the age of 70 on Friday 9 October 2008.

Tributes have been pouring into the Jamaican singer's MySpace site, many commenting on how Ellis' music will 'live forever'.

Alton Ellis moved to Britain in the 1970s and became known as the 'Godfather of rocksteady' with a string of hits including I'm Still In Love, Dance Crasher and I'm Just A Guy.

His manager and agent Trish De Rosa, of Roots-Rockers Promotions, said he was a prolific artist and a key figure in the history of Jamaican music: "He has been my guiding star and my inspiration from the moment I met him," she said.

"His life was the music and the stage. He was getting a tremendous amount of work right up to the end - it was very difficult to get him to slow down. He wanted to do as much as he could and leave a strong legacy."

De Rosa added that the Jamaican authorities were considering giving Ellis a state funeral.

Ellis was diagnosed with multiple myeloma last year, underwent chemotherapy and returned to the stage before he collapsed during his final performance in central London in August.

Laurence Cane-Honeysett, Jamaican music consultant for Trojan Records, said the label had been associated with Ellis throughout his career and that he was a pleasure to deal with: "He was a genuinely lovely man and his songs were heartfelt," he said.

"He was a seminal figure in terms of popularising Jamaican reggae music. His death is a terrible loss."

The sweetest in the reggae world - Delroy Williams


Jamaican reggae singer Delroy Williams, who had been friends with Ellis and worked with him since the 1960s said, described his voice as "the sweetest in the reggae world".

Ellis began his career in the late 1950s, before Jamaican music had earned a worldwide following, and recorded for many local producers before launching his own All-tone label.

He had several hits while fronting the vocal group The Flames and many more as a solo artist. Ellis moved to Canada and then to London in the 1970s as his career went into decline.

He enjoyed renewed popularity in the last 15 years thanks to a rocksteady trend in Jamaica and Europe.

Ellis, who lived in Northolt, Middlesex, leaves more than 20 children."

Argon Records presents
Matty G - Take You Back
The debut album, featuring Juakali, Luv Fyah, Ugene and Audio Angel.

It's a peaceful, foggy night in Santa Cruz. Waves are crashing on the beach and Matty G is up late, working on his latest beat. Some of the most celebrated and beloved dubstep music has emerged from Matty G's Beach Hill studio in Santa Cruz, California. The story continues with his first album, built from a lifetime of diverse musical influences.

Matty G grew up playing the baritone saxophone (where his love of bass was found), while listening to hip hop, reggae and soul. He moved to Santa Cruz in 1998, where friends introduced him to DJ culture through house music, and later drum and bass. Unsatisfied with the direction music was taking, and tired of searching for records he could identify with, Matty switched to production to get the sounds in his head onto vinyl.

His early music consisted of bass-heavy hip hop beats with reggae and soul vibes. These proto-dubstep tunes were the foundation for his modern dubstep classics - Bitter Love, 50,000 Watts and West Coast Rocks. Take You Back spans the full spectrum of Matty G's style, taking the listener on a journey through musical history with tunes influenced by funk, soul, hip hop, reggae and lover's rock. Vocal and production collaborations with respected artists Juakali, Audio Angel, Luv Fyah and Ugene complement the theme by allowing Matty the opportunity to work with his friends.
