Riddim Conference - Tokyo Struggle
Riddim Conference aka Nobuhiro Suzuki is a japanese dubber from Tokyo. He is the original bass player from Cultivator band and plays other instruments, his style is a mixture of live instruments and computarised music, very innovative in his own style !
That tune (Struggle) was out of stock one week after it was released and played by the greatest selectors and soundsystems on earth. A disco version with an other mix and mastering is scheduled for very soon with an other instrumental on B side called Hilhim, which is a very mediatative King David style riddim dubbed with asian flutes.

Blood in the Streets - Leroy Sibbles
Famous lead vocal of the Heptones and very prolific solo artist too, Leroy Sibbles is also a bass player for the best studios in jamaica from the early times of reggae and rock steady to nowadays. That song has something special with its peaceful lyrics but also with the fact that it was an autoprod on his own label and that he plays the bass himself. It was recorded at Tuff Gong late seventies and released on Jam Rock label in 1979. An awesome roots soundystem tune.

Abdulkareem - Peace in the City
This is the first Kingston Connexion Release. Limited Edition. A side is "Peace In The City", B side is the instrmental. This one was never released yet and only those who buy that record will know it. The master and mix on B side is very tuff and that instrumental has percussions and organ lines that were not used on the vocal and dub. More than 4 minutes ! Pure sly and robbie 70's stuff ! Art directed by Abdulkareem whom you'll hear the voice talking with musicians in the studio for 5 sec before the music starts. Check by yourself :
