In 1979, Neil Fraser (artistically known as Mad Professor) founded Ariwa Sounds, the longest-serving and one of the most influential independently owned Reggae studios and record labels in the UK. From humble beginnings set up in the front room of Neil's home in South London recording on 4-track and homemade equipment, Ariwa would go on to record and release over 300 albums including works from some of the most impactful and storied artists of their time in the genres of Reggae, Dub, and Lovers Rock. Whilst our previous release in collaboration with Ariwa captured the label's early sound, a shared performance with Neil in Osaka and regular visits to his South London studio inspired us to assemble this 15-track compilation, showcasing the label's output across 45 years. Our release emphasizes some of the label's greatest vocalists: Johnny Clarke, Sandra Cross, Kofi, U Roy, Sister Nancy, Queen Omega, Aisha, Garnett Cross, Abel Miller, Horace Andy and more - presenting the Motown and Stax influences in the Lovers Rock, but also provides a glimpse into the dubbier and more experimental side of the label, showcasing Ariwa's commitment to quality but also their personality, philosophy and their humour. Love songs, break-up songs, socially engaged songs, dub experimentations - this compilation is not a "best of" Ariwa but a diverse and honest celebration of the label through the lens of Melodies International. The compilation will be out in July in vinyl 2xLP, CD, digital formats, mastered from the original tapes by Frank Merritt (the Carvery), pressed at Optimal, artwork created by Jason Evans with design and assembly contributions from Nevil Bernard and Will Sweeney, animated teaser by Nevil Bernard and Melozine designed by Mafalda Meireles.

Shaggy's upcoming album, Lottery, takes it's name from a personal philosophy that has guided his three decade career: always bet on yourself. Largely self produced alongside longtime collaborator Shane Hoosong, the 13 track project reflects Shaggy's enduring identity as the self described king of hybrid music, freely moving between dancehall, reggae, pop, R&B, and hip hop while staying unmistakably Jamaican. The album opens with the faith driven "God Is Amazing," followed by the brooding title track featuring Jeremih, and continues with highlights such as "Boom Body" with Akon and Aidonia, and "Til A Mawnin," a tribute to legendary dancehall producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes that reached the Top 40 on Billboard's Rhythmic chart in late 2025. Lottery blends a host of veterans like Sting, Beres Hammond, Robin Thicke, and Anthony Hamilton with emerging voices like 450, Noah Powa, and Olaf Blackwood. The album presents a portrait of an artist still defining success on his own terms, staying true to self, and the conviction that trusting the work remains the ultimate winning ticket.
