Following the footsteps of original Dub culture and celebrating great Reggae productions from the 70s, Barcelona-based austrian DJ & producer Max Powa and Jamaica-based german music manager Lenny Roots have put their love and effort in founding a brand-new label called POWA CUTS.
"POWA CUTS collaborates with veteran reggae singers and transforms classic material into crisp, powerful 7 inch vinyl cuts!"
Today, the first 7'' vinyl single was released including a vocal and dub version of Max Powa's reinterpretation of Horace Andy's "Do You Love My Music", originally recorded by Everton Da Silva in Canada, 1977.
Now tune in and watch out for the next releases and the upcoming remix EP of "Do You Love":
The Austrian art collective BACKLAB created a remix audio/video mashup edit strictly showing Youtube samples. Being part of the Servus operetta and screened at Stadtwerkstatt Linz, it is kind of a love confession to the holy Internet and Backlab wants to give back what it did to them - in the words of F*** ("shorty without from delay")...
LET THE MADNESS BEGIN:
WANTED!! As you can see on the pictures below: MAJOR LAZER exists for real and he was spotted on a so-called "faschingsgschnasment" close to the riverbanks of Linz:
There are no doubts about that the ORIGINAL DON aka MAJOR LAZER is not a futuristic character invented by Diplo and Switch but really exists in flesh and blood. Here is the proof where he is hanging around with his jungle buddy at the carnival:
If you want to meet him... he might be coming to the post-carnival ARRÓZ CON POLLO tonite or at last at the Notting Hill Carnival this year... watch out!!
