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.
Review: When you see a lineup of this quality coming together, especially at the pleasure of Liondub International, you know you are in for a bit of a treat to say the least. The ferocious combination of Badda General & P Skinna are out in full force for the fiery sounds of 'Kickers', a bundle of asian-inspired melodies and dancehall drum slaps, tied together with potent bassline progressions and intricate rhythms. The stuttering string plucks are even more potent when we then take in the official instrumental version, making this another very strong addition to the Liondub International catalogue.
Review: Sliding into 2022 with a little dancehall sweetness, Liondub International continue to celebrate all system styles with this wonderful Busy Signal collaboration. Smooth and moody with a little sensual twist, the in-demand Jamaican singer gets busy over a stripped back and subtle riddim from P Skinna and label bossman Liondub. Complete with a radio version and instrumental, this is a high grade way to start the year!
Review: Jahdan Blakkamoore and Metric Man have some serious fiscal fears. So they decided to team up with leading bass-smith Liondub to get their message out there. Thanks to the rich warm skank, gargling bass licks and sprightly synths, their thoughts about the evil paper are made loud and clear. With remixes from Noah D and Marcus Visionary, their broadcast is galvanised furthermore. The former adds a cool, funky west coast synth slides to the vibe while the latter gets slap happy with a cheeky dancehall riddim. Heavy.
