Irie Ites started in 1995 as a radio show on the Freies Radio Kassel station. From these relatively humble roots it soon grew to include a sound system and an online magazine. One of Irie Ites's aims has always been to forge a tight worldwide network, and this has now culminated in the label.
Dubmatix feat. Ranking Joe “War Inna Corner“ was the first 7 inch-release on the new Irie Ites label in 2008. The tune is shaped by the stepper tradition and unites vintage elements with a crisp modern sound. The fat horn section and melodious organ conjure smiles onto faces, while the driving rhythm and Ranking Joe's toasting will sweep people onto the dancefloor. The B-side is a Raw Version“, the ideal backdrop for soundsystem MC performances. The Irie Ites passion for roots, vintage, dub stepper and danceability is irresistibly united in this single. And from there it went on and on....

Dubmatix meets Howie Smart - „Rough Out A Road“ & Dubmatix - „Rough Out Riddim“
"Canadian vocalist Howie Smart delivers a commentary in time honoured tradition on the hard times we seem to be facing upon a lively Dubmatix riddim which harks back to 1978 Jamaica (which many of his productions do). Not a heavy sound system piece but a melodic pleasure...“ Neil Perch (GER/UK)
Dubmatix meets Fitta Warri - „Honourable And Devine“ & Dubmatix meets AlDubb - „Devine Dub“
"Aldubb has produced a fine uptempo dub reminiscent of the riddim twins with a Joe Gibbs/Errol Thompson sound that harks back to the golden age of jamaican music.“ Neil Perch (GER/UK)
„'Honorable & Devine' features musical messenger Fitta Warri who instantly updates the 'Rough Out' riddim with his own inimitable vocal style. Aldubb takes over the controls and rubs the riddim dubwise on the flipside!“ Terry C., WLUW Chicago (USA)
Digital Release: Dubmatix meets Fitta Warri - „Honourable And Devine“ (Remix)
„Irie Ites Music presesents an exclusive Remix of "Honourable & Devine“ by canadian producer Jesse King a.k.a. Dubmatix. Fitta Warri is featured on the mic.
