Since 1991 DJ LionDub has carved out a reputation as one of the top selectors in New York City. Showcasing everything from reggae dancehall and hip-hop to jungle/drum & bass, LionDub has become renowned for his soulful selection and precise skills behind the decks. Having toured with, opened for, and worked in the studio to create an extensive catalogue of original music and dubplates with the likes of Damian Marley, Sizzla, Buju Banton, The Wailers, DJ Krush, Smith and Mighty and many more, this man is ideally placed to create a record label which will offer its audience a unique and outstanding sound.
LIONDUB INTERNATIONAL is that label, intended as an outlet for a wide range of musical styles and producers all under one universal banner. Primarily focusing on jungle/drum & bass and dubwize tracks, built on the foundations of original reggae music rather than previously rinsed samples and accapellas, LIONDUB INTERNATIONAL will also feature a selection of dubstep remixes and original tracks, essentially celebrating all that is good about bass-heavy music.
Stepping up for the first slew of releases are a fine assortment of the hottest producers in this style, including Visionary, Noah D and LionDub himself, while many other acclaimed producers wait in the wings ready to drop some aural love for your ears.
LionDub:
“Over the years I have built a very strong catalogue of reggae music with hits from artists like Johnny Osbourne, Terry Ganzie, Lutan Fyah, Luciano, JahDan, Capleton, Jigsy King, Pinchers and Bass Nacho to name a few. These songs will be remixed and released on vinyl together in a unique format that reflects the culture and diverse tastes of the producers involved. We are striving to release unique vocal reggae, dubwise / dubstep / jungle / dnb tunes alongside their respective remixes on a single label. So consumers should come to expect a very unique compilation of songs on each of our releases but with a strong dose of jungle dubwise dnb on every one.”
