Liondub International

Liondub International, born on the foundations of original reggae music, primarily hones in on roaring jungle and drum and bass but occasionally swerves into 140 bpm and dancehall territories. The label was founded by DJs and producers DJ Liondub and Marcus Visionary in 2008. Over the years Liondub International operated from Brooklyn, Toronto, London and Kingston (Jamaica) but is now run solely by Liondub in New York City. The label joins the dots between sub-labels Blacklion Movements, Liondub Street Series, Liondub-ODT Muzik and Liondub45. Liondub International has seen releases from artists including: Bladerunner, DJ Hybrid, Serial Killaz, Aries, Bou, Macky Gee, Euphonique, Jayline, Sub Killaz and Riko Dan.

Conrad Subs & Speaker Louis - "Shots Fired" - (4:36) 58 BPM
Played by: MR ALF-E
Review: Next up from the ever-ready Liondub International, a throwback filled to the brim with lethal flavours as Conrad Subs touches down to deliver four tracks of pure dancefloor fire. We open up with the unpredictable synthetic twitches and reesey rumbles of 'Rave Report', setting the tone of the project nicely before 'Dough' gives us a more minimal fusion of growling bass notes and sharpened drum designs. Next, 'Big Chungus' opens up the roof for an even harder hitting sub-line, upping the ante even further as we move forward, with Speaker Louis providing some additional work on the well thought out rhythmic arrangements of 'Shots Fired'. Another tidy collection from the Liondub dynasty.

Review: Doctor, doctor, I feel like a firework. Put some bangers on then, pal. Doctor, doctor I feel like a reload. Come again? Doctor doctor I can't stop spitting bars. Then stop eating nightclubs. All jokes aside, Doctor Roberts is not actually your typical healthcare professional. He'll cure you but it'll be with dutty bass and high energy tear-ups rather than medicines or modern science. The toxic waste electro thrills of the title track will have you doing dancefloor surgery, cutting up the place with your sharp moves. The groaning filthy reese of 'Wheel & Come' will have you sweating out your fever in a jiffy and 'Nice Guy' will clear any migraine thanks to its precision drum clarity. Pull yourselves together!

Artillery - (4:24) 175 BPM

Power Of Mind - (4:24) 175 BPM
Review: Last spotted on various Liondub International VA collections, the currently unstoppable B-Plexx makes his full EP debut on the US label with these four fiery bruisers. 'Voodoo' stirs up some serious black magic to set the scene. Tight drums, groaning basses and an ice cold sample, it leaves us under no illusion as to what's next... 'Artillery' is all about those buzzy high frequency licks, 'Displacement' is a wonky old affair that you could imagine someone like Tyke or Hazard dropping at 6am and twisting minds while 'Power Of Mind' closes on a dark, demonic tip. Feel the burn!

Rolla Joint - (4:05) 174 BPM
Review: Following their epic JNGL MAPS opus in 22, Lost City return to Liondub International with another wedge of wallopers. As always, fusion and versions are aplenty as the duo roll their sleeves up and get super vibrant. 'The Chase' is a firm statement as Mozaia gets dramatic with her topline and the boy get busy on some epic Camo & Krooked style flavours and 'Can't Breathe' follows suit as Mozaia stays on board for the more theatrical fire but this time in more of a Latin mode. Both main tracks come complete with JNGL variations while 'Check' and 'Rolla Joint' close the EP with heavyweight dancefloor energy. Time, once again, to get Lost.

Review: Bangers to behold; LO! makes his debut on Liondub International with this very impressive collection of timeless breakbeat workouts. Flexing across the whole spectrum with an eye for the subtleties and groove, vibes range from the classic hardcore rinsery of 'DR8' to the more interplanetary jazz feels of 'Hint Hint' and the urgent futuristic funk and urgency of 'Redux'. And that's not even the whole EP; this one kicks hard in all directions.

Freedom - (4:26) 175 BPM
Review: Turn on your GPS and get seeking! Sam Pyro is 'Lost In The Rave' and we need to find him before his mum gets worried! 'Lost In The Rave' is a great place to commence the hunt. Classic detuned synth stabs and a pitched up vocal tells us he's front left. With its gritty, twisted bassline 'Something' tell us he's skanking hard with the massive while the ultra rave dynamics of 'Pull It' suggest he might be climbing up onto the stage and doing an unsoliciated rewind for the DJ. Finally we hit the final clue 'Freedom' and all is clear. With its breezy pads, urgent vocal and rasping bassline there's no other place he's likely to be... in the smokers chatting nonsense. Found him! Tell his mum he'll be home before breakfast... but probably won't be eating much due to the tastiness of this EP!

Review: From New Zealand to New York, Aukland's Willy Mav gets real on Liondub International with this sublime five tracker. 'Followers' hits you with 10000 heart reacts before 'Pretty Thing' gets all cosmic upside your cheeky chops and 'Memento' goes on a wildly wonky jazz vibe that hits with a really sweet off-beat edge. 'Four Million' gets a little UK vibe on the go while 'Hearing Light' closes on a big stern booming bass roll-out. This really is an exceptional EP. Big Willy manoeuvres.

Review: One of the most iconic voices in dancehall and jungle, Blackout JA continues to demonstrate his mic craft with his brand new album on Liondub International. Written in collaboration with the label bossman Liondub and boasting a truly epic rollcall of collaborators from Top Cat to Congo Natty, Daddy Freddy to Ricky T, the album flexes the full soundsystem spectrum featuring all flavours of dubwise and dancehall influences. Laced together with Blackout's signature smoky storytelling, highlights include the dramatic skanks of 'Love You Want Stop', the feel good swagger and switchy breaks of 'Mama Nature' and the real-talking finale romp 'Son Of Nanny' which brings the album together with pure fire. 10,000 feet and still rising, Blackout JA knows no limits.

Review: Longstanding jungle merchant and graffiti artist Sikka comes crashing into Liondub International HQ with this powerful body of work that is his debut album - 'Junglist Code'. A homage to the foundations and fundamental ingredients of this culture, the UK producer goes in on the breaks and rave references to create a knock-out brew of rootsical ruffage. Highlights include the time-stretched flavours and dizzying amen action of 'Time To Kill', the euphoric chimes of 'Out Of My Mind' and the pure soul uplift of 'Share The Load'. What an album!

Review: After years of singles, specials, EPs and features on a wide array of respected reggae and dancehall imprints, long time Liondub International soldier Capital D serves up his debut studio album A To Zed. Working closely with producers Rumble and Ricky Trooper, the Latin American MC goes in deep covering a number of topics and an even wider range of riddims. Highlights across this accomplished body of work include the big swing sizzles of 'War Time' the lavish skanks of 'Dem Bumbo' and a brand new twist on his tried and tested party tune 'Never Test VIP'. Full flavours.
