How is good music being created? That's the question, the documentary web series Studio Chronicles follows. In its 5 episodes for the moment, it paints a picture of Jamaican music production history and culture. To achieve this, the producers visited several studios in Kingston and talked to artists and producers about what makes a good production and which influence the chosen studio has on the final product.

The series offers insight into the daily work of producers, the historical development of recording technology, as well as different approaches to recording music in times of digitalisation. The producers want to draw attention to interesting hotspots in music history. Jamaica, with its rich musical heritage was the perfect choice for the pilot season considering the musical background of the producers. The two brothers Syrix and Professa (Iriepathie) met producers like Gussie Clarke, King Jammy, Don Corleone or Dean Fraser, who gave an insight into the specific qualities of the individual studios and tell stories from decades of experience as producers.

The first season has been shot in Kingston in December 2013 over a period of four weeks. The series will be accompanied by a producers album, which will be released on Irievibrations Records, and displays the soundtrack to the show. It contains the title track „The Journey“ by Konshens.

Alpha Steppa Meets Don Fe featuring Reality SoulJahs. After the success of Steppas Records' previous collaboration with Don Fe it was inevitable a second instalment would surface. This time with musical and lyrical support from label head Alpha Steppa and long time UK Roots vocal duo Reality SoulJahs, respectively. A heavy steppers riddim from Don Fe featuring the conscious militant lyrics of Reality SoulJahs accompanied by an earth-shattering Alpha Steppa version and dub mixes from both camps. Mastered with maximum clarity and bass pressure and housed in the brand new reverse-board 300gsm Steppas Records house-bag.

The Reality duo initiated their musical kinship in 1990 with the launch of their Reality Sound System. From the early days of lifting boxes and recording dubplates, this North London duo have gone on to forge a powerful relationship and have established themselves as intelligent and instantly recognisable vocal and lyrical talents. An integral part of today's UK roots reggae scene.

UK born musician and producer based in Spain for over 20 years, Don Fe’s passion since the age of five has been music, classically trained in piano, flute and theory and as from sixteen reggae. From his humble beginnings in the 80s with a 4 track and a TDK D90 his riddims and productions are now being played by the world’s most respected sounds – Channel One, Jah Shaka, Aba Shanti, Iration Steppas and many more all over the world.

Jamaican Dancehall Reggae music from 2014 performed by the artist Vybz Kartel x Russian

After causing shockwaves throughout the world of reggae and beyond, Dubkasm’s seminal instrumental smash ‘Victory’ has travelled from Bristol to Jamaica and back again. This new version is voiced by Luciano, arguably the greatest roots reggae singer of the modern era, and veteran deejay Turbulence, who steps up with a fiery, righteous counteraction.

With its tough, unstoppable rolling bass, unique percussion and crisp, driving horns, the original version was the bestselling roots release of the decade. The exclusive dubplate of Luciano’s incredible performance has been a fixture at soundsystem stalwart Aba Shanti’s dances for the past year, and is finally available on 12-inch, backed with Turbulence’s all-new deejay militancy.

Both performers stay true to the spirit of the original, bringing out different sides of the Dubkasm ethos: Luciano is soaring and jubilant, while Turbulence chats pure and unflinching reality, delivering his most unforgettable chorus since breakout hit, ‘Notorious’, in the process.

Each vocal is followed by an uncompromising, deep, old-skool dub, with crackling delays and thunderous spring reverb. Mastered on ½” tape at the world-famous Stardelta studio and cut to 180g vinyl, the pressing does full justice to the depth of the music; you can hear every hi-hat and every last vocal inflection. This is an unmissable release.

No-Maddz "Shotta" (Lyrics)

Chorus

From him get up in the morning
Haffi pop it off
Top shotta nuh laugh, people scream and bawling
Haffi pop it off
All station staff
(Repeat)

Verse 1

Just a little squeeze off the trigger
Love tot hear the sound of the gun when it fires
Love to see people get flat and scatter
Change their good, good names, now they are shottas
Whole heap of things them youths yah don't remember
Like when their mothers used to change their diapers
Take them to school, pay all the teacher
Evening comes, daddy provide the dinner
When they're sick, their mothers bleach with them at doctor
Now them a walk, rape, rob and murder
AK 47 in a hand over shoulder
Daddy got a glimpse and him pants full a water
Wee Wee, Mr bad to the bone

Chorus

From him get up in the morning
Haffi pop it off
Top shotta nuh laugh, people scream and bawling
Haffi pop it off
All station staff
(Repeat)

Verse 2

Bap, man dead out a street
Daddy hear on the news say him one boy do it
Mama belly ban, head in a hand
Asking Lord, what me do wrong
Why fi mi one boy turn gunman
A wonder if a the company weh him keep
A wonder if a true, him used to love roam the street
Used to love roam the street (times 4)

Bridge 1

Shotta beat it till a morning
Nah hear when mama calling
Him full a tough chat and talking
And a run when big dogs barking

Chorus

From him get up in the morning
Haffi pop it off
Top shotta nuh laugh, people scream and bawling
Haffi pop it off
All station staff
(Repeat)

Bridge 2
Mama, Babylon a carry me in a jeep
Them a box and a kick me, mama don't make them do it
Mama, from mi little and a grow, me afraid a soldier and me don't like police
(Repeat)

Ghetto Youths International, the record label owned and operated by Bob Marley's sons Damian, Julian and Stephen, will release the brand new compilation Ghetto Youths International Presents Set Up Shop Volume 2 on December 23, 2014. The 15-track compilation follows Volume 1 that was released in February 2013 and peaked at #1 on U.S. Billboard Reggae Album chart.

The latest installment is produced primarily by the Grammy-winning brothers Stephen and Damian Marley. The album features new material from the entire Ghetto Youths roster, including Jo Mersa, Black-Am-I, Christopher Ellis, Wayne Marshall and the label's founders, along with dancehall artist Cham.

The compilation's lead single Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley's "Is It Worth It? (Gunman World)", which contemplates a killer's conscience, will be accompanied by short film music video directed by acclaimed visionary Nabil Elderkin (Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Frank Ocean, Bon Iver and Seal). Set in Morocco, actor Saai Taghmaoui (American Hustle, La Haine and Three Kings) takes on the role of a hitman-for-hire in Elderkin's latest visual opus.

In addition to "Is It Worth It? (Gunman World)," Ghetto Youths International Presents Set Up Shop Volume 2 features a variety of thought-provoking material. Damian's motivational opener "Hard Work" is lauded as "a pulsing blueprint for flipping funds" according to The FADER, while his collaborative effort "The Living Breed" featuring Black-Am-I, Jo Mersa, Illestr8 & Biggz General rallies for social change, boasting a powerful hook stating "we are the last of dying breed and the first of a new generation..."

Dancehall's multi-faceted singjay Wayne Marshall talks about life choices on "On The Corner" (inspired by REM's "Losing My Religion") and proclaims to "Nah Give Up" on his single featuring Tarrus Riley. Carrying a similar sentiment, Julian Marley alongside Junior Reid encourages to push forward when times are tough on the uplifting anthem "Never Too Ruff", while the culturally-driven singer Black-Am-I contemplates the beauty and struggle of life back home on "In The Ghetto".

Christopher Ellis, the son of Jamaican music icon Alton Ellis, "takes classic rocksteady/first wave reggae and gives it a new look" (Vice Noisey) on "Roller Coaster" and gives a fresh take on "Better Than Love" with the remix featuring Irie Love. Jo Mersa (the eldest son Stephen Marley and grandson of Bob Marley) represents a new generation too with his contemporary sound that blends dancehall, pop, and EDM - evident on "Sunshine" and the hypnotic "Rock and Swing".

The set also features dancehall artist Cham showing how he rolls on "Sh@t" and Stephen "Ragga" Marley's hard-hitting anthem "Bongo Nyah" with Damian and Spragga Benz. Then, Stephen and Damian team up again on the mesmerizing track "Strike Hard".

With poignant lyrics matched with top-notch modern production, the genre-bending compilation is sure to reach reggae's core contingent along with a new generation of fans.
