"Greetings from the Fat City Camp where we have lots of quality tracks for you this week. Upfront to Fat City Mark Rae and his new A.R.P. project get our vote as record of the week with their brilliant hip hop dance hall outing. Other highlights in the Beats chart are the new Elektrons (Unabombers) track, the brilliant under the counter Radiohead label edit by a famous NY Producer, and the huge Harry J edit on the Hexstatic Pick n Mix sampler. In the Soul chart the Spirit Catcher track has been causing waves with the Southport people and the T Pain remix has been played all over 1xtra, we will also be receiving the new Amp Fiddler track later this week, so keep you eyes peeled on the site. Dabrye and MF Doom head up the Hop Hop chart with their great collaboration and Aceyalone releases a digital funk style track from his recent album. More dancefloor bombs head the re issue chart with The Lone Ranger and their version of A Message To You (Rudie), the TM Juke remix of Lee McDonald and a great edit of a Larry Levan track. Its been such a good week we have had to put the great Breakestra and Rewind 5 tracks in a Overflow chart alongside Osunlade and Jstar. At Friends and Family London this week there is the Trojan vs Fat City Sound Systems which will be massive, and in Manchester we have UK hero and Mercury Prize nominee TY with the great DJ Bizznizz, this is selling fast so purchase your tickets quick!"

The Lone Ranger - Dub Salvador - A Grant Phabao Mix
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C. TIMEC078, 2006-04-07

Info :
The Lone Ranger is one of Jamaica's most influential early dancehall DJs. He was twice voted N°1 deejay on the island, in 1979 and 1980. He helped pioneer a newly rhythmic, on-the-beat rhyming style that led DJ toasting into the modern age, and punctuated his lyrics with bizarre exclamations and sound effects ("bim" and "ribbit" were his favorites) that made him perhaps the most imaginative stylist of his time. Without Lone Ranger, no Yellowman, no Shabba Ranks, no Sean Paul...
Thanks to the incredible production skills of French dubmeister Grant Phabao, who crafted for him a splendid album last year ("Kulchaklash" / to be pronounced "Culture Clash"), The Lone Ranger is now back on the charts, with rub-a-dub partner Carlton Livingston and their cover of Dandy Livingston's hit "(A Message To You) Rudie". This new single is making waves all over the irie globe on a strictly limited edition 12 inch (500 copies only!), issued on T.I.M.E.C./The Pusher in Europe (with both extended and dub remixes), and on an already out-of-print 7 inch, issued on Silver Bullet in Jamaica. This marvelous slice of pure jamaican spice is a winning crowd-pleaser sure to hit the spot every time, we couldn't let it out of this exclusive mix of oldies, rarities & classics, so... enjoy!
