Break Down The Walls
Cat: DKR 228. Rel: 08 Jun 23
 
Roots/Lovers Rock
Abbashantie - "Break Down The Walls" (6:01)
Jerry & Neville - "Abbashantie Rock" (with Wackie's Rhythm Force) (7:13)
Review: Here's a precious reissue of a 12" single by Abbashantie (not to be confused with UK sound system giant Aba Shanti) and Neville & Jerry. Both were Jamaican reggae vocal duos who recorded for Wackie's, a still-going-strong US label and studio founded by Lloyd Barnes aka Wackie's or Bullwackie. The single was originally released in 1980 and features two utter groundshakers: 'Break Down The Walls' by Abbashantie and 'Abbashantie Rock' (with Wackie's Rhythm Force).

Big Leg Mary
Cat: DKR 220. Rel: 16 Aug 19
 
Roots/Lovers Rock
Big Leg Mary (6:39)
Wasn't It You (7:23)
Review: Another carefully considered reissue from Wackie's tackles two of Kingston born John Clarke's tracks from 1978. They first landed on the Jumbo Caribbean Disco label (which was actually based in Brooklyn) and here are just some of the tens of gems he recorded for the imprint. Both tracks are super hazy dubs with the clipped rhythms of "Big Leg Mary" and burrowing lead coming on heavy, while "Wasn't It You" is a smooth and deadly jam. This one has been known to fetch upwards of 100 quid on second hand markets, so move fast to secure yourself a sure fire winner.

Rise Up (Discomix)
Cat: DKR 261. Rel: 15 Feb 23
 
Dub
Tyrone Evans - "Rise Up" (6:07)
Bullwackie - "Rise Up" (version) (5:26)
Review: The rather infamous Wackies label was the first to release Tyrone Evans' 1983 long player For Lovers Only. One of the standout tunes on that record was 'Rise Up', recorded at the label's own studio. The Disco Mix here is a cover of a 1982 tune by Max Romeo with a baseline that sounds a lot like The Police. On the flip is a different version of the same tune but picking a favourite here is silly - both are compelling and quirky collisions of dub, disco, reggae and soul with a Latin injection.

Sunshine Love
Cat: DKR 221. Rel: 15 Apr 21
 
Roots/Lovers Rock
Sunshine Love (9:20)
Keep A Rocking (4:02)
Get Over (4:13)
Review: The original 1981 12" of Itopia's 'Sunshine Love' is one of the most sought-after cuts in the Wackie's catalogue, with copies regularly changing hands for three-figure sums online. This 12" includes the two key cuts from that 12", the synth-sporting, electrofunk-era vocal reggae gem original mix of 'Sunshine Love' - all super-sweet group vocals, hybrid live/electronic grooves and colourful electronics - and the dub style 'Version', which boasts some seriously squelchy synth-bass. Over on the flip there's a chance to cop Itopia's upbeat 1984 reggae club-rocker, the similarly synth-splashed 'Keep a Rockin', plus one of the original 'Sunshine Love' flipsides, the NYC synth-skank that is 'Get Over'. In a word: essential.

Moses
Moses (7")
Cat: DKR 269. Rel: 08 Jun 23
 
Roots/Lovers Rock
Wayne Jarrett - "Moses" (2:58)
Soul Syndicate - "Raw Rhythm" (3:02)
Review: A fresh crock of reissued Wackie's material springs forth from the not-so-wacky US dub label, all in mixed sizes from 7" to 12". Complementing the latest reissue by Abbashantie and Neville & Jerry, this one's a 12" by Wayne Jarrett and Soul Syndicate, a deft Jamaican reggae singer and slick backing band respectively. First released in 1979, it's got two songs laid to groove: 'Moses' by Jarrett and its 'Version' by Soul Syndicate. Both are stomping roots reggae bits that praise the biblical prophet and leader of the Israelites in equally weighty fashion.

Chris Wayne - "Wild Goose Race" (3:38)
Chosen Brothers - "Majority Rule" (3:52)
Milton Henry - "Now You See The Scene" (3:38)
Review: Wackies impress upon us their latest compilation; this time, it's another (sixth) edition added to their Jah Children Invasion series, which charts the critical juncture at which dub reggae shifted from live-drummed beats and into drum-machine led, steppers' embraces. The result was a welcoming of 8-bit themes and pixelations, leading to the infamous coinage, digidub. Jah Children Invasion harks back to this not-so-small step for mankind, compiling scene contributions from such legends as Horace Andy ('Drop Off'), Jackie Mittoo ('Majority Rule'), Milton Henry ('Now You See The Scene'), and Chris Wayne ('Streets Of Africa'). The resulting sound is not one of total fascination with the 'digi' aspect of the sound, but a prototypical, melting-pot point at which the leap into increasingly sequenced progressions lent dub a cruder, but more driven development of the sound. A sonic Faustian bargain with a machinic devil, if you will.
