about

Dreadsquad, AKA Marek Bogdanski, returns to the scene with the second and third instalments of his Riddim Machine
series. As part of a collaboration consisting of Dreadsquad’s own Superfly Studio and the renowned Moonshine
Recordings, listeners are in for a treat, courtesy of Poland’s most prolific reggae dancehall producer. As ever,
Dreadsquad manage to encapsulate all evolutions of reggae – from rocksteady , roots and rub-a-dub to dancehall and
dub – all with a present-day twist to keep the bass bins rumbling and the people skanking. Both volumes will be available
in both vinyl and digital format, so there’s no excuse to miss out!
Volume 2 is laced with an amalgamation of characters from the Reggae/Hiphop/Soul scene, featuring the likes of Kojo
Neatness , Gardna, El Fata, Dub Princess, Tenor Youthman, Takeyce-Ti, Monkey Jhayam, ManeceLive or Greg Blackman in
his soulful roots tune Clean Up. Among a plethora of sublime productions, with throwbacks to the old sounds of early
reggae, roots and rub-a-dub, there’s the highly anticipated anthem Issues (previously released on Bun Dem Riddim), with
none other than the mighty YT on microphone duties . Keep an ear out for the remix of Chainska Brassika’s Knowledge Is
King (featuring Tom Spirals); there’s some serious stepping to be done to this riddim. The closing track for this volume is
more than worthy of a mention, as ‘Space’ manages to deliver a transcendentally meditative dub vibe to bring the record
to a close in a suitable fashion.
Volume 3 serves to retain Dreadsquad’s core values – their attitude towards mash-ups and remixes, their roots in all that
is reggae – whilst also providing a sound that is refreshing, original, and showcases some of the finest up & coming talent.
Whereas Volume 2 remains much more true to its roots, Volume 3 turns up the heat and brings the fire to the dance.
Once again, the LP is littered with artists who are soon to be on everyone’s radar. Skarra Mucci, Zico MC, Jman, Charlie P,
Million Stylez, need we say more? Riddim Machine Vol. 3 is chocked full of edits and remixes guaranteed to start a fire in
any venue. The legendary Papa Michigan’s Nice Up The Dance is flipped on its head, with just the right amount of amen
breaks and Reese bass to keep any junglist’s gun fingers in the air. Get Away revolves around a display of lyrical wizardry
from MenaceLive, Jman and Zico MC in true cypher style. Charlie P makes a special appearance for the digi-dancehall
smasher That Is Life, complete with classic 80s orchestral hits reminiscent of the foundation fashion. This one’s a
dubplate; you should feel blessed to hear it!
Both volume of Riddim Machine feature artwork illustrated by Kasia Wilk. The releases will be available digitally, via most
online download stores (iTunes, Juno, Bandcamp, Amazon, etc.), as well as a physical vinyl release, available at most usual
vendors.
