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.

As 1978 drew to a close, an exciting young artist with a lilting, mellifluous voice burst onto the British music scene, as her single, 'Walk Away', made it's swift journey to the top of the nation's reggae charts. And yet few or any of those who bought the sweetly-rendered record at the time could have been aware that despite her tender age, Marie Pierre was in fact already something of a seasoned professional whose experience both in the recording studio and on the live scene stretched back years. In time, her hit record, produced by the UK's premier reggae producer, Dennis 'Blackbeard' Bovell, would become a staple of the lovers rock sound and when, over the months that immediately followed it's release, a number of similarly impressive singles further demonstrated the extent of her talent. This expanded version of Marie's Love Affair - her one and only album to date- presents her entire Trojan output along with a further two Dennis Bovell-produced tracks, released shortly before and after her all-too-brief spell with the company. This long overdue deluxe version is now available as limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on red translucent colored vinylLISTEN: https://youtu.

International reggae band Meta and The Cornerstones release their fifth studio album, Echoes of Time, recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, Wiltshire, UK. This thoughtful and reflective project brings together the stories and sounds from their recent singles into one cohesive body of work. At it's core, Echoes of Time is about awareness. The album does not attempt to resolve the contradictions of the world, but instead sits with them - examining the tension between past and present, memory and reality, connection and disconnection. Lead singer and songwriter Meta Dia writes about deeply personal moments of love, identity, and belonging, while also looking at the bigger picture of humanity and the world we live in. Musically, the album is built on the steady, heavy rhythms of classic roots reggae. However, it also branches out into a global sound. You will hear elements of Afrobeat, soul, and hip-hop woven naturally throughout the tracks. Some tracks lean into warmth and openness, while others carry a sharper, more urgent edge. Together, they create a dynamic listening experience that feels fluid, layered, and intentional.

Limited edition of 3000 numbered copies on orange coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Peter Tosh was a reggae multi-instrumentalist from Jamaica who was one of the founders of the legendary band The Wailers, together with Bunny Wailer and of course Bob Marley. Equal Rights is his second studio album and the one that propelled him to the top of reggae, cementing him as a potential rival to Marley. That wouldn't quite happen, but Equal Rights is still one of the most influential reggae albums ever recorded. Tosh was a big human rights advocate and the track listing reflects this. Of course there is a version of "Get Up, Stand Up" written together with Bob Marley but "I Am That I Am", "Downpressor Man" (a version of Sinnerman, made famous by Nina Simone), "Stepping Razor" and "Apartheid" all became human rights anthems in their own right. In 1987 Tosh was killed during robbery, leaving reggae fans all over the world wondering what could have been. Equal Rights is available as an expanded 2LP edition including a bonus disc containing rare and unreleased songs previously only available on dubplates.

The Lost Sound of Augustus PabloAvailable for the first time ever on vinyl, Roots Vibes returns in a newly remastered 30th Anniversary Edition, unveiling a rare collection of recordings from reggae pioneer Bunny ""Striker"" Lee, shaped by Augustus Pablo's unmistakable Far East sound.A deep excursion into fourteen heavyweight instrumental and dub recordings spanning 1972 to 1992, the album is anchored by timeless Jamaican riddims and Pablo's haunting melodica melodies, carried by the rock-solid pulse of The Aggrovators and masterfully mixed by King Tubby, Prince Jammy, Phillip Smart and Pat Kelly.Cut at Kingston's most revered studios-Randy's Studio 17, Treasure Isle, Dynamic Sounds, Channel One and Harry J Studios-these recordings embody the golden age of reggae and dub. Built on classic rhythms first immortalised by artists including The Eternals, Prince Buster, John Holt, Ken Boothe and Don Drummond, Bunny Lee's signature approach of reinventing proven riddims is transformed by Pablo's deeply spiritual playing into something entirely his own.More than three decades after it's original release, Roots Vibes remains a compelling showcase of Augustus Pablo's singular artistry and a lasting testament to one of reggae's most visionary musicians.

The Cats made a small stack of records in London at the end of the 1960s, and most of them have been difficult to find ever since. This LP gathers twelve of those sides, from the group's rocksteady version of "Swan Lake" to tough R&B instrumentals and the funkier recordings they made with singer Ray Pereira. Most were originally released as 7-inch singles on the band's own BAF Records label. With clean copies becoming increasingly expensive, The Cats are finally getting their own compilation, and it is limited to 500 copies.Formed in East London in 1967, The Cats were Jamaican expat Tyrone Patterson on keyboards, John Kpiaye on guitar, Richard Archer on bass, and Michael Okoro on drums. Their music sat right where Jamaican ska and rocksteady were rubbing up against American soul, R&B, and funk. You can hear the influence of Booker T. & the M.G.'s and James Brown, but The Cats never sound like they're simply copying anybody. The playing is lean, mean, and always built on a groove. Their biggest record, "Swan Lake," was released independently and still managed to reach No. 48 on the national chart. By most accounts, it was the first UK reggae single to make the charts at all.The rest of the story is scattered across dusty singles kept alive by DJs and collectors worldwide. Finally heard together, the range of the band comes through: reggae, rocksteady, soul, R&B, and funk, all played with the same stripped-down feel.
