BANDCAMP

Experimental Deephouse Afro-futurism album by Dub poetry free spirit Jasmine Tutum and OG Jahtari crew disrupt & Rootah as The Other Others, oscillating between spaced out soundscapes, floaty hoovers and heavy movers.

Tokyo-born, grown up in Jamaica and living in Germany (with various stops in-between) Jasmine’s wild biography translates into sonic territory with this LP, drawing inspiration from Grace Jones and Theo Parrish, newworldaquarium and Roger Robinson alike.

Coming on vinyl LP and as limited glow-in-the-dark tapes edition!

Supported by Initiative Musik gGmbH with project funds from the Federal Government Commisioner for Culture and Media.

Rootah – Strasse E – Vol. 1 (mixtape)











ROOTAH
“Strasse E – Vol. 1”

release date: 19.10.2023
(cassette tape)



ADD TAPE TO CART




Volume 1 of the Strasse E mixtape series by Rootah, who was a resident DJ at a local Leipzig techno club and obsessive record digger in the 1990s before starting Jahtari.

Lost & re-discovered, this first cassette was recorded in the early 2000s, mostly focusing on what was happening between Berlin, Detroit, Munich, Vienna and Chicago.

Great energy in this mix with lots of bangers that aged remarkably well, from a time before Discogs, Youtube or Shazam.

Comes with artwork by David Farris, with added hand-drawn Neon vibes. Limited copies!

Sonic Fiction tape by disrupt on Zonedog, giving nods to tales like Fallout, Wasteland or Mad Max.

Gritty loops and eroded synth-scapes tell the story of a trip across a world without water: a journey through parched and wind-swept lands, dried-out riverbeds, past vast garbage dumps, following the hydrogen fuel veins across the Big White, in search for that crucial part to fix your communities’ water pump: ‘The Water Chip’.

Each tape comes with hand-painted cover art by Ltd. Candy, each with a unique color scheme – photos can’t fully capture it.

Only 77 tapes for the world! Don’t sleep or you’ll weep!

Incl free Bandcamp download code!

“Meanwhile Deep Beneath the Island”

release date: 07.10.2021
cassette tape, digital (free download)



ADD TAPE TO CART
DIGITAL (free download!)



Nerdcore Dub versions from ‘The Secret of Monkey Island I & II’ adventure game soundtracks (1990 / 91), the forgotten Voodoo-Reggae classics from the floppy disc age.

The original game soundtracks by Michael Z. Land, in all their uncanny 16bit-Soundblaster FM-synth glory, were a massive influence for Jahtari (weird computer game reggae!) – but could those soothing and somewhat wimpy tracks be translated into a Heavyweight Dub context, something that might work on a sound system?

Well, here are our attempts from around 2005 / 06: Meanwhile Deep Beneath the Island. Sixteen haunting tracks, optimized for guzzling grog, by Gamle Harlev Orchestra & Bo Marley, John Frum, Volfoniq and disrupt. Finished cuts, various dubs and plain demos, raised from the Undead, just for the torment of your ears!

OG artwork by Kristian Nordentoft. Available as FREE download on Bandcamp – and as limited tape run with alternate ‘Head of the Navigator’ cover!

WaqWaq Kingdom’s intense shamanic live performance, recorded to honor the local gods “kami-sama” at Leipzig’s legendary bass head party Bassmæssage on 26.January 2019.

Captured with a battered Zoom recorder through a thick veil of incense smoke, sweat and bass this hypnotic time warp experience re-connects our animistic roots with the future of urban neon colors.

Stunning artwork by Kiki Hitomi, heaps of new bangers from the upcoming WaqWaq Kingdom album – this limited edition pink cassette is raw live energy directly baked onto tape.

BO MARLEY
“Masters Of The Universe”

JTRTAPE02
release date: 24.03.2017
cassette (€8,00), digital



ADD TAPE TO CART
BUY DIGITAL



Re-issue of the highly collectable Bo Marley tape from 2009, seeing the Gl. Harlev homeboys once again power up their Chariot Of Fire (aka. the Bo mobil) to drop a floor-devastating cassette that effortlessly rolls up electrifying beats, short-wired robo-funk and a voltage drenched low-rider bass into one genre-defying reel of heavy goodness.

The patented Bo space-lyrics in German/Danish warp mode are again dealing with the big timeless themes of our age: rocking it on stage (Wir Setzt Den Trend), rolling along with the Bo mobil (Rollen Vorbei), the joys of driving a scooter (Mofa Fahren) and Robot Cars (“with volt power – yeah!”).

Watch out for the extended space funk instrumentals!
