Im Jubiläumsjahr 2010 blickt man bei Rootdown Records auf eine ansehnliche Historie zurück. In den vergangenen 10 Jahren konnten diverse Artists durch hochwertige Produktionen, inhaltliche Qualität und konsequente Livebetreuung zu etablierten Künstlern aufgebaut werden.Um dem bestehenden Gütesiegel als “die nachhaltige Talentschmiede” innerhalb der deutschen Reggaeszene und einem Eckpfeiler der Rootdown Philosophie: Weitsicht ! gerecht zu werden, beschloss man im auslaufenden Jahrzehnt neue Talente die Möglichkeit zu bieten sich zu beweisen und zu entwickeln. Fündig wurde man in “Rojah Phad Full” aus Bayreuth und dem Badener “Slonesta”, welche bereits im vergangenen Winter auf der Rootdown Selection “Tek A Train” erste Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen konnten.

Mit “Wer zum?” wählte man nun als Debüt der beiden Solokünstler das außergewöhnliche Format eines “Toe- To- Toe” Langspielers, bei dem sich “Rojah & Slonesta” im wahrsten Sinne “die Klinke in die Hand gegeben”. Abwechselnd spielen die “Rootdown Rookies” hier gekonnt musikalische Doppelpässe und decken dabei das komplette Reggaespektrum von Dancehall bis Roots ab.
Die musikalische Basis für “Wer zum?” liefern u.a., neben dem auch als Executive zuständigen TEKA, namenhafte Produzenten wie Soundquake, Soulforce, Respectaz und SWS.

Rojah & Slonesta Live:

08.05.2010 – Aurich, Schlag Alarm gegen Rechts

23.05.2010 – Ferropolis/Gräfenhainichen, spash! KICK OFF

Dreadzone – Eye on the horizon

April 30th 2010 sees the release of the much anticipated DREADZONE album “EYE ON THE HORIZON”. Reflecting the band illustrious past and innovative releases , “Eye on the horizon” firmly picks up where the band popular top 20 chart hit “Little Britain” left off. It reinvents the band with ten tracks that signify the move into fully formed songwriting against a backdrop of dubwise dancabilty. This style helped them to become one of UK´s original dance pioneers, with a style that has since spawned many sub genres. MCing and reggae vocals partner the mix of live guitars, electronic beats and dub bass to perfection. The album features iconic samples (notably, the legendary theme from Long Good Friday on Gangstar, a spoken word piece from Woody Guthrie and Dennis Browns Greensleeves classic Whip Them Jah on Amerivan Dread) all of which compliment the bass and beat heavy Dreadzone style perfectly.

The Dreadzone Story …

began with Alan McGee`s Creation Records and their first groundbreaking album 360, continuing with major waves their seminal 1995 album SECOND LIGHT picking up support from John Peel (who included the album in his top ten favorite albums of all time)The top 20 hit from that critically acclaimed albums later they are set to remind people why the Dread sound is still very much a part of the musical landscape of the UK. The coremembers Greg Dread, original Bassmaster Leo Williams, the unmistakable Mc Spee, legendary Studio One vocalist Earl 16 alongside Chris Compton on guitar and Chris Oldfield on technology make up the new line up. The bands influence extends not only out into the current, but rewinding to back in the day as the rhythm section of Mick Jones´Big Audio Dynamite in the 80s. Their roots are embedded in the history of West London sound clash and with a drum and bass partnership of 25 years this year Leo and Greg are still rolling strong and rocking the nation with their distinctive rhythms.

Dreadzone are set to roll like thunder again with a string of live dates alraedy announced in 2010 bringing the music and ingenuity of this unique British group to the people.
