Africa Unite is a reggae band from Pinerolo, Turin, Italy, founded in 1981 by Bunna (Vitale Bonino) & Madaski (Franco Caudullo). They were originally Africa United but they removed the ‘d’ in 1992 just before releasing their Cantè EP. The name was taken from a song by Bob Marley, one of their biggest influences.

They have released 13 highly acclaimed albums since starting out, establishing themselves as one of the most prestigious & popular Italian reggae bands. They are still going strong today, doing live gigs throughout the world. Here they hit the Beach with their own reggae-drenched Dub (with some help from crazy Mad Professor along the way)...

I've shared The Rootsman before here & here as well as numerous links in comments that you'd have to follow the trail & pick out the links for yourself if you're interested. 

 

 

The Rootsman is Edinburgh, Scotland born John Leo Bolloten, musician & DJ based out of Bradford, England. The Rootsman is a radio host, Razor X Productions Sound System wizard, founder of Third Eye Misic, former Muslimgauze collaborator, & all around musical genius. 

He has recently announced on his Bookface page that he is retiring from music at the end of this year, so if you get a chance to see him do his thing before then, I highly advise you do so.

On this one, all tracks The Rootsman except track 1 - Oochi, track 5 with Monument, track 9 with Dayjah & the Disciples, track 11 with the Disciples, track 15 - Strongpoint, & track 16 - Dub Chandra. Produced by the Rootsman.

In a comment on April 10: This is Not a Noisething, Frenz of NSS Marky D sez:
       "Vielen Dank NØ. Been a big, big fan of Echo Beach since 96. Ruts DC, Keith LeBlanc, King Size Dub, On-U... these crazy Germans have been pushing Dub boundaries forever. Word is a new Noiseshaper single coming very soon! How about an Echo Beach "dump" in the future??!!! (Hint, hint!!)
PS this ain't no dump - it's a goldmine!
All best my friend
MarkyD"

Well what a perfect time sez Nothin' to hit the beach, the Echo Beach, for the last hazy, lazy, crazy daze of Summer. I'll drop those heavy-weight King Size Dub volumes, mix'em with some other tasty EB releases, shake 'em (don't stir 'em) & pour out a month of Dubalicious libations.

Kicking things off, of course, with Vol. 1

Not Canadian at all, but somehow showing up on Iron Music, Govinda is a famous Indian / Italian band out of Florence, Italy. Govinda included Satya Mana, Pandit Ananda, Yasodanandana, Maureen Fernando, Luigi Gabaldi, Mario Leonelli, Chandra & DJ Om formed in the 1990s with the aim of combining the then popular ambient techno sound with ethnic Indian influences. They have toured & collaborated with other artists such as Transglobal Underground, Loop Guru, Lovecalò, Farfa, & Stefano Noferini.

They created a style of world music, sometimes called ethnic electronica, mixing ethnic with electronic sounds & dance or chillout beats. Their sound has been labeled "ethno-introspective ambient world music".

The long "Atom Heart Madras Suite" that closes this, their 1998 disc, is a truly progressive work with many different sections, mostly ambient or EBM-based, with a few trancey injections.

Well, I've finished with the Cup of Tea Records shares for this month. I have a couple related posts to finish out the month, then it's off to the beach for Dubtember. 

Cup of Tea made a deal with Canada's Iron Music label to release licensed editions of assorted Cup of Tea music. Iron Music was founded in 1994 by Aubrey Winfield. They released many items from original Canadian artists as well as Cup of Tea music. 

 

What could be more Canadian to start off this CoTR adjacent label than The Pursuit of Happiness with their alt-rock classic(???) "Gretsky Rocks".

Led by Edmonton, Alberta, frontman Moe Berg, The Pursuit of Happiness formed in 1985 when Berg & drummer Dave Gilby moved to Toronto, Ontario. There they soon teamed up with bassist Johnny Sinclair. They added sisters Tamara & Natasha Amabile as backing vocalists to round out the roster.

 In March 2006, they were inducted into the Canadian Indies Hall of Fame.

Receiver is a project of A(lan). Burnham Richards (Ratman) & Rich Beale. I've shared Ratman earlier on this month. Rich Beale (as Clevedon Pier) was a long-time member of NSS fave Gareth Sager's Head & he's been Pregnant with Sager as well. Ratman & Beale teamed up because it seemed like a cool thing to do. Lately Beale has been busy as Don Mandarin & Rastu / Om Shanti.

Ratman sez:
         "I started out in about 1985 messing about with drum machines from lack of ability to play the drums. Sequencers, midi, & eventually computers landed & I’ve been at it ever since. I have had the pleasure of working with the likes of Smith & Mighty, Alpha, Mr. Scruff among many others.My different monikers & projects over the years have been Ratman & B: Alanrat; Rat; Ratman; & Receiver."
