Sounds Like
MY-LORD & Ranking Joe inna Israel
MY LORD WILL NOT PLAY AT LOW VOL
My-lord sound was founded in 2003, After the return of Sister Ellen an Ranking Levy from Jamaica, the Idea to set up a sound was in there minds, until the final decision came up in one bright day at st. Elizabeth JA, and then the name My-Lord sound was chosen.
The sound was formed with a mission to play a wide variety of Jamaican music, which at the time was not played what so ever at Tel-Aviv's/ Israel's night clubs and bars.
Sister Ellen started spinning Levy's selection of old Jamaican 45"s & LP's from 17th north parade- Randy's JA. The first test appearance was at "Sofa-Beat" night- club on a Tuesday night (Geemel was the promoter), that was a night when Sister Ellen played the music alone, and the crowed excepted and embraced the music with great interest, due to the success of the first night, on the second night Ranking Levy roped in, in a Unique DJ style, that seasoned the music in a traditional Jamaican patios presentation.
The style: mainly good old Jamaican music played from vinyl alone (no cd!), starting from Mento, Ska, Rock-Steady, Roots all the way to foundation Dancehall and everything presented in a Rub a Dub style.
So My-lord sound duo was formed, the first couple in Israel to form a sound, with a choice to focus in the old and not the new, in an ambition to introduce the people: the
deep roots and sources of nowadays dancehall, and to expose the hidden and rare sides of Jamaican music. On a mission to expose the beauty and magic within the music.
Since the sound was formed the couple had the chance to perform on the same stage, with a fine list of some great foundation artist, such as: Lone Ranger, U Brown, Carlton Livingston, Eak a Mouse, Soul Stereo and more.
In their last visit to J.A (2k6) Ranking Levy had the chance to DJ for the legendary
U- Roy's King Stur- Gav- alongside Little Twich, Poddy Roots, General Trees and Al Pancho.
And as well to cut some rare metal dub plate specials in Kingston.
In April 2K7, Original Ranking Joe appeared Live on My-Lord sound show case, it's important to mention the fact that Sister Ellen was the only female selecta in Reggae history to select for Ranking Joe.
In August-september 2k7 We had the previlege to host Brother Culture for an exisiting Israel tour that shook Israel like an earthquake.
Also in Septmber 2k7 we toured Spain and had the honor to open the Spanish Clash, and also to Rock it in the magical Isle of Sardinia.
In August 2008, at Sardinia international Reggae festival, My-Lord sound had a "mentor Congregation", when we finaly met the mighty Brigadier "General" Jerry- For a Live Session on the sound, Ranking Joe & Al Campbell also Roped in- and history was made. at the same night on the microphone stand was: Eroll Belott, Chanter & Brother Culture. One night to remember.
