Weekly Digest 10

After almost a year-long break, LionDub45 returns with a stellar new release from Brooklyn based producer Ticklah featuring stand-out vocals from Jamaica’s Courtney John.

Both artists should need no introduction – as a founding member of the Dap Kings, Antibalas, and the Easy Star All-Stars,Victor Axelrod spreads his work across funk, soul, and African rhythms, but his more rootical vibrations are saved for his Ticklah productions.

Courtney John is a celebrated Jamaican vocalist who has worked extensively with Sly & Robbie on their Silent River label and the UK based Peckings camp. Courtney’s sweet falsetto style evokes the classic era of lover’s rock and early dancehall.

Ticklah and Courtney John provide two perfect sides for lovers of classic roots reggae and dub with a strictly conscious and positive message. LionDub45 is proud to bring New York and Jamaica together once again for it’s fourth release.
