SPEAKEASY SUNDAYS @ PULQUERIA: CHINATOWN, NYC


LionDub International in association with Mark & Maine Present: 


SpeakEasy Sundays: 9pm
"Easily spoken but hard to find"
@ 11 Doyers street, New York, NY


Where are the secret places in New York? Where is the quiet aesthetic appeal? The feeling of experiencing something that is unique and authentic to being a New Yorker, whether you were born here or not. It used to be in Times Square before the light bills gave way to the commercialism of 'mad men'. There is still a hint of it in the Meat Packing district, only at 4am where the produce is chopped by 7am so that pretension can brunch with opportunism. Before marketing turned neighbourhoods into acronyms, where SAMO tatted his heart on a city, before his art was hung by Jay-Z's verses. We know it isn't on Fri or Sat with the B&T, we saw it on Sundays at Lotus, Mondays with the Goodspot, Tuesdays at Sweet 16, Wednesdays at APT, and Thursdays with Mark & Maine, so this Sunday we champion those same party souls, not to duplicate, but to try and bring back the fun New York naivety. So we invite you: to a street that's hard to find, to a locale with no name written, to an address you might walk by. Join Us! We Speak Easy on Sundays within a cul-de-sac of Chinatown. 


Music by LionDub & Guests
Reggae, HipHop, House, World & Latin Flavas
Hosted by Mark & Maine

Limited Edition of 700 7" Vinyl copies.

Helmed by world-renowned drum & bass and reggae DJ Liondub, the Liondub Internatonal imprint has made massive strides since it's inception. Releasing a steady stream of top-shelf material from a growing stable of producers and vocalists, it has become a go-to source for emerging, top-notch music at the nexus of reggae, dubstep and drum & bass sounds. Last year saw the christening of the
Liondub45 sub label, which specializes in collectible, deep, vintage dub and scorching Roots Reggae 7”s and showcases the talents of a veritable whoʼs who of modern Dub producers and original foundation vocalists.

Sugar Minott is a hard act to follow, but there could be none better than Judah Eskender Tafari. Coming up at the height of roots reggae music, Judah first performed as a musician at 12 Tribes shows in Jamaica and later recorded his first big releases at Studio 1. Beginning with "Jah Light", he went on to record other hit songs like "Rastafari Tell You", "Always Trying" and "Just Another Day". These tracks and many more have gained him international notoriety in the past 30 years and lead up to his work with Ras Kush's Black Redemption label. In all of his music Ras Kush delivers a positive message of Faith, Hope and Charity. NYC based keyboardist, engineer, and producer Victor Axelrod, aka Ticklah, has been a continual and integral part of the NYC music scene for over a decade. He is a founding member of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Antibalas and the Easy Star All-Stars with whom he continues to record and perform. In the past several years he has recorded keys for Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse and many more notable artists. In addition to Liondub45, he has released his own work on the NYC reggae label Easy Star. Wether its a dubbed-out Sharon Jones remix or an original groove built form the ground up, Ticklah's tracks are always captivating and rich with
sonic detail.

Originally released as the b-side to "Life" on Black Redemption, Land Of Confusion was voiced at Ticklah's studio and released in 2007. Three years later, Ticklah has arranged a new instrumental track around the vocal, adding his own signature out-board effects, percussion and keyboard harmonies to the conscious lyrics of the "Commander". The resulting track and version are a musical gem; melding the dub experimentation of Creation Steppers with the inimitable spirit of Studio 1 and Soul Syndicate. It's no surprise then that Jah Shaka has offered steady support for this track on his soundsystem time and time again! Three years in the making and well worth the wait, Land of Confusion is a must have for all fans of dub reggae and roots music worldwide.

LNDB45-002 FT. SUGAR MINOTT AND TICKLAH AVAILABLE ON VINYL & DIGITAL

Liondub International Proudly Presents:

LIONDUB45-002
SUGAR MINOTT & TICKLAH : 'PRAISE HIS NAME'

AVAILABLE AT JUNO RECORDS AND JUNO DOWNLOAD HERE: http://goo.gl/N7Tal

Artist: Sugar Minott / Ticklah
Title:  “Praise His Name” / "Dub His Name"
Label: Liondub45
Catalog : LNDB45-002
Format: 7” Vinyl / Digital
Release Date: September 2010
File Under: Vintage Dub / Roots Reggae

After the runaway success of it's premier release, featuring Jahdan Blakkamoore's vivid anthem "The General", Liondub45 hits with another winning 7" pairing New York City dub master Ticklah with the sweet sounds of  Lincoln "Sugar" Minott. As a singer, producer and soundsystem organizer Sugar Minott's career chronicles the transformation of reggae music from lovers rock and rub-a-dub to the rise of ragga dancehall and the computerized riddims of today. Mr. Minott launched his solo career at Coxsone Dodd's Studio One where he spearheaded the popular practice of "versioning" existing riddims. He went on to form his own Black Roots label and Youth Promotion sound system which together fostered the careers of a huge number of Jamaica's greatest reggae dancehall artists. Sugar Minott's enormous creative spirit survives him in these beautiful words laid down over a jubilant dub from Ticklah.

NYC based keyboardist, engineer, and producer Victor Axelrod, aka Ticklah, has been an integral part of the NYC music scene for over a decade. He is a founding member of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Antibalas and the Easy Star All-Stars with whom he continues to record and perform. In the past several years he has recorded keys for Mark Ronson, appearing on Version as well as contributing heavily to the Grammy Winning Amy Winehouse album 'Back To Black.' He has released his own Ticklah VS Axelrod LP on NYC reggae label Easy Star, for whom he also co-produced and engineered several roots compilations including the Pink Floyd cover album Dub Side Of The Moon. A longtime fan of Sugar Minot, Mr. Axelrod was thrilled to have the opportunity to record with such a talented and influential artist. The two together have produced a momentous recording.

Praise His Name is an uplifting message for the masses; to give hope to the downtrodden and remind us of our need for spiritual wealth. No one could say it better than Sugar Minott, whose own works supported generations, and here he has done so with a bittersweet minor melody that fits perfectly over Ticklah's rolling bass, muffled rimshot and lush organ sound. Minott's erie harmonies ring out with crystal clarity in the mix which is wrapped in spring reverb, chugging organ and punctuated by glistening agogo bells while rippling echos punch holes in the dub verison. A classic like this comes along once in a life time and this one is for the ages.

LIONDUB EXCLUSIVE ALL VINYL MIX & INTERVIEW FOR DUBSPOT

Liondub has been active in New York for a couple decades. Whether it be through deejaying, making beats, running a label, or writing graffiti, he’s certainly left his mark. As a label boss, he has dropped important releases such as the forward thinking “subsoca” of Marcus Visionary’s Carib to some of the final work of the late Sugar Minott with Ticklah. Behind the decks you might catch him spinning dancehall, like at his recent appearance with Poirier, but you could also hear a jungle set if you attended, say, Konkrete Jungle or one of the Brooklyn hippie raves. When producing the beats, he often flips steppy dub styles, though wobblers and dnb with ragga vocals are not unheard of. Liondub sat down with us to offer some tips about running a label in New York, and it’s some valuable info, since – like he says below – the city lacks a well-oiled electronic music infrastructure. He also put together this exclusive mixtape for us. The tracklist is available at the bottom of the interview, or on our Soundcloud page.
