7" / 45RPM / tune+dub version
&
DIGIKALLY (MP3 / WAV / etc.)

Here comes another brand new Lion’s Den release. This time in the 7” format in collaboration with our good friends from Digitron Records from Zagreb, Croatia.

A tuff steppas tune with ‘Balkan Dub Defender’ Vrx on production and well known Italian dub activist Dan I on vocal duties. Well versatile, approaching the riddim with a unique ruff voice. The outcome is a powerful chant to Jah, a praise song called “Hail Up”. Firmly Rastafari inspired lyrics wholly merge with a pumping riddim, ready to shake any Sound System near and far. Digitron Sound prove again: they do not know any boundaries of craziness on using elements and sounds of the (dirty) electronic vault.

On the flip-side a ‘part 2 style’ dub version awaits the needle. Stepping into bass meditation terrain.

Of course a whole heap of work has again gone into an adequate presentation with an absolutely stunning comic style sleeve and label artwork - this time by the great graphic artist ohoroho from Slovenia - and as always the material was transferred to 1/2inch Tape for extra analogue warmth, mastered with care and pressed on high quality vinyl by Star Delta / Delta Disc, UK. It is also digitally available.

Digitron Sound [Zagreb / HR]
http://digitronsoundsystem.net

Digitron Sound System, pioneer dub sound outta Croatia, balkan dub defenders! Since 2007 based on members of 2 live dub bands (Radikal Dub Kolektiv and Bamwise), piled up and led with the intention of making the first Croatian sound system, in a country where there was no culture of its kind. Musicwise closest to UK sound of digital dub with influences of different musical directions, from electronic music, to more organic. Usual suspects in Croatian and European underground scene: festivals, clubs, autonomous zones etc...
Digitron runs many nights in the biggest Croatian and only alternative cultural centre, former squat called Medika. A monthly program is paired with organizing and running many dub stages on different festivals (Modem, Lost Theory, Seasplash etc…). Apart from being active as an act that has been performing all across Europe on some of the leading festivals and club nights (Fusion, Reggaebus, Hadra, Lusine etc…), Digitron also has a label called Digitron Records and is an active production force - always ruff and tuff.
