Run Run Riddim - Stingray Records

Stingray Records has released the 'Run Run Riddim' which is certified bad!  Before we get to you hearing the riddim, here's some information about Stingray Records!

Stingray Records is a UK based Reggae recording studio and label that emerged as one of the leaders in the music field since it was founded in 1994 by the McLeod brother's.  Based in the West London suburb of Perivale, Stingray own a fully equipped and advanced 24-track professional recording studio.

Carlton "Dillie" McLeod and his younger brother Raymond "Sting" McLeod have steadily built a reputation for producing unique "Yard Style" mixing technique outside Jamaica.

Stingray has worked and produced some of the best and finest UK performers such as Peter Hunningale, Sylvia Tella, Lloyd Brown and many more.  On the other side of the globe Stingray have also worked and produced high profile artist from Jamaica such as Dennis Brown, Luciano, Freddie McGregor, Bushman, Morgan Heritage, Mykal Rose, Sanchez, Tony Curtis, Lukie D just to name a few! Dillie, as an ex soundman (Lord Koos, Savannah, Love Injection and Intimate Connection) and a radio DJ (Time Radio, WLR, Skyline) as well as a drummer with the I-lects band, Dillie contributed to the recent success of Saxon Records, where he worked closely with the renowned Saxon selector "Musclehead" to record gems like Peter Hunningale's Genuine album etc etc.  Under Stingray label, the production with Don Campbell (I-lects guitarist & lead singer) Never Burn Your Bridges, was the first LP released and Luciano's album Visions stands out as one of Dillie's finest engineered production.

The characteristic sound on Stingray's production is fairly traditional and filled with classic 70s Reggae feel, but built with all the advantages of modern studio technology.  Besides the production and engineering talents of Dillie, Stingray use musicians of the finest calibre such as Mafia & Fluxy, Sly & Robbie, Computer Paul, Firehouse Crew, Gumption Band, Jazzwad, Carlton Bubblers Ogilvie (another former member of the I-lects band), Ernie Wilks, Daltone Browne, Dean Fraser and Tan Tan, with the mixing expertise from Dillie which provides the very important finishing touch.

♠ HOTTT New Reggae! ♠ Avaran - Sunday Morning!

Greetings!

 

Today is Monday, but musically, I needto take you back to Sunday ... "Sunday Morning" to be exact!

 

Bahamian artist Avaran is new to some,and not new to others, and is the singer of the beautiful song "Sunday Morning."

 

Performed on an acoustic based one drop riddim, the song contains words from the heart of a man singing the praises of his girl and her beauty, and his desire to put a smile on her face.  Wowow!  Talk about scoring major points with the misses!

 

Avaran has been performing since 1995,and has shared the stage with incredible artists such as Capleton, Luciano, Lucky Dube and Yami Bolo (to name a few).  He was the background vocalist of the Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Brown, and has toured and traveled extensively through his infectious Reggae.

►►► Throwback Thursday! ►►► This is a Priority!

Greetings!

 

I received an e-mail from a friend this week

who said words that have resonated with me.

She said "Natasha, this is a priority..."

 

Me being the wordy nerd that I am, focused

on the word 'priority' which means to give

special attention, which is what I'm hoping

you will do for me today.

 

Luciano, great Reggae singer of songs that has

consistently uplifted listeners, the man who is

behind closed doors as he is in music; the healer

of many, the player of an instrument, he, will be

releasing his album 'United States  of Africa'

on August 3rd, 2010, and he is the priority.

 

The chune "Moving On" is the first release from

the album, and an instant classic.  My guess is

that the riddim is a Peckings original riddim, and

the introductory voice is from Shorty the President,

a well known DJ from President Sound System

from August Town, Jamaica.  I know some of you

will let me know if I'm close with my guess, or way

off!

 

With these uplifting words:  "As I travel on Life's

road / making my way home / with no one to

lend a hand / I often trod alone / and though it

seems so hard / I'll travel on / I've already come

this far / so I'll journey on...  Jah he holds me by

my hand / guide me on my way / Angel's light

each step I take / cause me not to stray..."

 

Combine those words with Luciano's voice, and

the melodic instrumentation of the riddim, and

we have the recipe for a HIT record!

 

Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Luciano's

"Moving On" from his album 'United States of

Africa' which will be released on August 3rd,

2010 here:

 

P.S.  After you've listened to the chune, please

send me your feedback so I can pass it on!
