Led by producer, engineer, and percussionist Amon (Turntables on the Hudson / Afrokinetic), the Analog Players Society (APS) is a collective and community of musicians rooted at The Hook Studio in Brooklyn, NY. This digital DJ promo features songs from both of APS’s forthcoming 7″ releases on Redbud Records, out on 12/13. APS Vol. 1 consists of two dubbed out covers of well-known tracks: “Let The Music Play” (Version) originally recorded in 1983 by Shannon, and “Dance Hall Days” (Version) also recorded in 1983 by Wang Chung. APS Vol. 2 is a stellar re-working of the 1986 hit song “I Can’t Wait” by Nu Shooz, which features the radiant vocals of Cecilia Stalin (Koop) over a full horn section and infectious keys. The instrumental version not included in this promo is available exclusively on Bandcamp. As a holiday bonus, there’s also a funked out steppers remix of Vince Guaraldi’s classic “Christmas Time Is Here.”

Inspired by the burgeoning dub step scene and dub visionaries such as On-U Sound’s Adrian Sherwood and Mad Professor, the Easy Star All-Stars have compiled Dubber Side of the Moon (out October 26), the ultimate remix collection of their much lauded reggae smash Dub Side of The Moon. Each track features a unique dub producer exploring spaced-out reggae and bass-heavy remixes of the original Dub Side of the Moon, a reggae tribute to Pink Floyd’s iconic Dark Side of the Moon. In this digital DJ promo, the All-Stars’ resident soundman The Alchemist’s interpretation of “Money” is a dub step bass bleeder. Kalbata’s might be the most innovative mix on the album. Israeli born and signed to Soul Jazz Records, his mix merges the tech sound into dub-step. Boston’s mysterious 10 Ft Ganja Plant, Groove Corporation and Border Crossing also provide roots heavy remixes to the album.

The Dubber Side full-length also includes 4 bonus remixes (as well as 2 additional bonus tracks exclusive to the iTunes release).

Dr. Martens is celebrating its 50th anniversary by enlisting ten contemporary bands and ten film directors to cover ten cult classic songs. The seventh and latest track in the series is N.A.S.A.’s re-interpretation of Max Romeo and The Upsetters classic reggae anthem “I Chase the Devil.” Having collaborated with heads as diverse as M.I.A., Karen O and Tom Waits on their masterful debut LP The Spirit of Apollo, it was anyone’s guess as to what direction N.A.S.A. would take. After hours spent crunching real tape loops and experimenting with the dubbing to get exactly the right “stoned, spacey feel,” the production on the track sparkles. The animated video that accompanies is every inch as virtuoso with humor and imagination in excess. Don Letts has broken boundaries left, right and center in his film work and this video continues that spirit of exploration with extra-powerful visuals.

In anticipation of their upcoming debut album to be released later this year on Sustainable Recordings, Agape featuring Nadia Harris unveils EP1. The four tracks are open, soulful and diverse with an element of dub that ties it all together. “She Really Likes It” (watch the video) has echos of funk, soul, ska, drum & bass and Brazilian rhythms, which come together to create a mood that is fun and uptempo. “I And I” is a soulful broken beat track that is acoustic as well as electronic, and “If Love” is a Reggae/Dub song with a one love message. In addition to producer/DJ Erick Paredes and Jamaican singer/songwriter Nadia Harris, the EP features an all-star cast of musicians that make up the live band. Stay tuned for the remixes and EP2 coming soon!
