WAQWAQ KINGDOM
“WaqWaq Kingdom EP”
JTR19
release date: 27. Apr 2018
12″ vinyl (33 rpm), digital
The Science Ninja team WaqWaq Kingdom is returning to our solar system with this brain melting five tracker, continuing their space exploration program where they left off with the 2017 epic “Shinsekai“.
DJ Scotchegg and Kiki Hitomi are setting out to time-warp input from African electronic pioneers like Francis Bebe, eerie Super Nintendo soundtracks and low-end nanotech into a highly hypnotic shamanic experience that’s not to be misssed. Gravity- and genre-defying disc, including a mystical appearance of dub poetry sensei Roger Robinson!
Mastered and cut to wax by Pole / Scape Mastering Berlin, with artwork by Miles “Bokeh versions” Opland.
Limited edition of 300!

Hot off the press comes the vinyl version of Roger Robinson‘s epic “Dog Heart City“, originally out last January on (now hard to find) cassette.
Re-mastered and cut by Pole for extra analogue goodness and coming with hand-drawn cover art by Kiki Hitomi, this crucial document of the Brexit era shouldn’t miss in any collectors crate.

After his highly acclaimed album “Dis Side Ah Town” Roger Robinson returns with a reel full of new tales about survival in a Dog Heart City. These stories, delivered in Robinson’s full vocal spectrum between low-end dub poetry tremors and haunting falsetto singing, are trying to make the invisible lives visible: giving people affected by gentrification, racism, unemployment and low wage work a sense of authority and aesthetic nobility.
Each song on this tape became a story in that city, while the tape itself is like the city holding these stories. “Nightshift” tells about the workers who clean the buildings where power is held, and the contrast between their lives and where they clean. “Flowers” comments on the rate of young black men getting killed, where another victim dies even before the last mourning flowers have dried. There are stories about tower block life, the claiming of a postcode or how the city wears a Swastika like a proud badge in Post-Brexit UK.
This beautiful cassette collects a pile of special riddim cuts from the Jahtari vaults, from re-edited classics by Bo Marley, unreleased gems by John Frum, to completely new experiments, all lovingly dubbed live and soaked in analogue goodness.
Stunning hand-painted cover art by Kiki Hitomi.
