Dub Terminator and High Freequency proudly present Soul Island Vol. 1 - a selection of the freshest Jah heavy roots and dubstep recorded
for their new label, Soul Island.
Initially available as a digital promo release in mid 2010, due to a
huge amount of downloads and interest, in October 2010 the album will be
released in-store throughout Aotearoa.
Soul Island creates tunes with the aim of bringing a new,
conscious sound to the people, blending the unique styles and cultures
brought together by their varied artists and projects.
Dub Terminator is New Zealand-based producer Chris McLay, who is widely
known for his unique blend of mashed up reggae, dub, dance hall and
hip-hop. Producing and remixing tracks for Jamaican MCs from abroad over
the past year, Dub Terminator worked with some of the innovators of the
music scene including John Holt, Yellow Man, Sizzla, Jim Nastic aka Jim
Brown, Rhombus and Rodney P, Reality Chant and Natty King, as well as
an army of newly recruited Jamaican MCs from Jamaica and Europe.
Touring New Zealand with Rhombus both as a guest MC and also showcasing
the Dub Terminator sound-system set, he mashes up tunes direct from the
studio to the stage, enabling him to bring live electronic bass-weight
straight to the dance, pure and heavy.
In 2009, Dub Terminator met Spanish producer, High Freequency (Jacobo
Miquel) and began creating remixes for his vocal dubplate recordings
with a host of well-established Jamaican artists. As their work
progressed, the Soul Island label was created.
After continued success with their remixes, the duo took things a step
further and began sending fresh riddims to other vocalists around the
globe, with Dub Terminator producing the riddims and High Freequency
linking and booking artists and studios for the tracks to be recorded
in. Over the next few months tracks from artists from Jamaica to Canada,
UK to Africa flooded in and Soul Island Vol. 1 was born.
A follow-up release, Babylon Dubstep Annihilation, is also now
available for free download, bringing a futuristic urbanized Soul Island
flavour.
