VA • Studio One Djs

 

 

For this Studio One release we return to the roots of Reggae music-The Soundsystem - Throughout the late 1950s and 1960s Soundsystems played throughout the city of Kingston, Jamaica - As well as Sir Coxsone's Downbeat Soundsystem other famous Soundsystem operators included Duke Reid (the Trojan), Prince Buster, Tom the Great and King Edwards -

These Soundystems were the birthplace of much of Jamaica's musical culture  Soundclashes, Dancehall and the idea of the Toaster who sang over records- theDJ - As ever Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd led the field and so for this release the focus is on DJ's at Studio One and features legendary toasters such as Denis Alcapone, Dillinger and Prince Far I as well as a host of rare material by lesser known artists - Also included is Count Machuki  the original DJ- the first man ever to speak over the mic-at Sir Coxsone¹s Downbeat Sound System- from where it all began.

As Steve Barrow (author of The Rough Guide to Reggae/Blood and Fire Records) writes in the sleevenotes, Jamaican deejay music is the source for all Rap music: From Count Machuki talking over records on Sir Coxsone's legendary Downbeat Sound System this style would eventually travel to America when the Jamaican-born Kool Herc began playing at Block parties (a version of the Kingston Soundsystem parties) in the Bronx - Cutting up rare-groove classics for the first B-Boys to rap over, Hip-Hop was born and theDJ music that had started on the early Soundsystems of Kingston would go on to conquer the world!

Studio One Records is the original Jamaican record label - Studio One Records started the career of hundreds of Jamaican artists from Bob Marley to The Skatalites, from Horace Andy to The Heptones - Studio One DJs (compiled by Mark Ainley) is the next in the series of releases where Soul Jazz Records are showcasing the music of Studio One, the label that literally defines Reggae.

Para este lanzamiento de Studio One volvemos a las raíces de la música reggae: el Soundsystem - A finales de los años 50 y 60, los Soundsystems actuaban por toda la ciudad de Kingston, Jamaica - Además del Downbeat Soundsystem de Sir Coxsone, también actuaron Duke Reid (el Troyano), Prince Buster, Tom the Great y King Edwards -

Estos Soundystems fueron la cuna de gran parte de la cultura musical jamaicana Soundclashes, Dancehall y la idea de la tostadora que cantaba sobre los discos- theDJ - Como siempre, Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd dirigió el campo y, por ello, en esta edición, la atención se centra en los DJ de Studio One y se incluyen tostadores legendarios como Denis Alcapone, Dillinger y Prince Far I, así como una gran cantidad de material poco común de artistas menos conocidos - También se incluye a Count Machuki, el DJ original -el primer hombre que habló por el micrófono- de Sir Coxsone¹s Downbeat Sound System, donde empezó todo.

Como escribe Steve Barrow (autor de The Rough Guide to Reggae/Blood and Fire Records) en las notas de presentación, la música de los deejays jamaicanos es la fuente de toda la música rap: Desde que Count Machuki pinchaba discos en el legendario Downbeat Sound System de Sir Coxsone, este estilo acabaría viajando a América cuando el jamaicano Kool Herc empezó a tocar en las fiestas Block (una versión de las fiestas Kingston Soundsystem) en el Bronx - Cortando clásicos del rare-groove para que los primeros B-Boys rapearan sobre ellos, nació el Hip-Hop y la músicaDJ que había comenzado en los primeros Soundsystems de Kingston ¡pasaría a conquistar el mundo!

Studio One Records es el sello discográfico original de Jamaica - Studio One Records inició la carrera de cientos de artistas jamaicanos, de Bob Marley a The Skatalites, de Horace Andy a The Heptones - Studio One DJs (compilado por Mark Ainley) es el siguiente de una serie de lanzamientos en los que Soul Jazz Records presenta la música de Studio One, el sello que define literalmente el Reggae.
