Survivor preview

Here’s a live preview of a new track in progress with strong vocals by Paul Fox called Survivor. The riddim is an uptempo binghi driven one drop type a thing. I made it during a day off from work meditation vibes. The preview is from the KINGKOP festival where Paul Fox, Saimn-I and me played at the end of April. The track was recorded a couple days prior. We made a quick mix of the riddim to drop it at the festival as we were all excited about it. Saimn dropped a lethal part 2. the plan is now to have saimn do an mc-part at the second part of the song. A bit like in the clip. This however still needs to be recorded. Shouldn’t take to long I hope

Paul Fox – Survivor part 1

Saimn-I ounteraction part 2

Big up to the KINGKOP festival for the nice set up, Ion Youth for letting us play on there soundsystem and the crowd for the nice vibes.

Who dem a Fool / Take I Home

I added a preview of my 2009 12 inch release with Carlton Livingston & Jah Melodie on my soundcloud for all to listen too. The riddim track was one of the first real riddims I created. Basicly a collage of couple of loops and a tuff bassline on top. It was one of the first glimpses of studio magic I guess. All pieces just came together and it fitted. As I wasn’t at home as much behind the sliders and knobs back then and didn’t have the gear I have now the tracks where mixed by Dougie Conscious (Carlton side) and Shiloh Ites (Jah Melodie side). The end product is pretty hardcore 12 inch which 3 mixes on each side. The 12 inch is pretty much sold out in most shops but looking it issuing them as a digital release. Stay tuned for more news on that.

Clive Chin @ the UFO

unlisted fanatic — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:02:18 +0000

At the end of March, legendary producer Clive Chin came to visit the UFO. I met Clive briefly when he did a dj-set at Reggae Geel in 2011 and subsequently in the summer 2012 during a quick stop over in Belgium to visit our mutual friends of the Dukes of Skazzard. When he got word of the pending release of ‘Farmerman Life’ he was thoroughly impressed with Collieman’s singing. In view of Clive’s lost archives project, where he wants to revive both released and unreleased material out of the Randys studio with original vocals as well as new talent, Clive came to visit the UFO (he was on tour in EU with the Dukes of Skazzard) with a bag of riddims transferred of the original tapes. We spent a day listening to some amazing music and Collieman worked out a tune on a classic Wailers riddim which was originally released in 1975 with vocals by Ta-Teasha called ‘Oh Jah Come’. A true roots classic. Nonetheless Collieman was able to put down a great version for himself that stands on his own right. When Clive get’s back to NY he will transfer the multi-track from the original tapes so that yours truely can arrange the riddim to Collieman’s needs and run some versions of the desk. Great stuff, to touch the music that was layed down by legends. Thanks for this oppertunity Mr Chin !!! Check out the youtube preview and stay tuned for more news to come.

More to the picture than meets the Eye

My good friend and partner in crime for many thing Saimn-I has recently released a self-produced album, titled ‘More to the picture than meets the Eye’. Versatile as he is Saimn is not bound to one style and thus dropped a wide selection of styles and influences (roots reggae, hip hop, early dancehall …) are present. On top he invited plenty of guests and friends to drop in for some nice collaborations. Yours truly provided a drumline/break that was the backbone for ‘Somewhere’. A digital roots track in which Saimn-I and Collieman team up for a nice melodic track of heart ship and a message of hope.

Check it out !!!

The album is available as a free download. Go and grab it !!!
