After Musical Riot (see previous review), another French sound system launch is own label this autumn. This time is the tour of Roots Revelation. To start its catalogue, the sound propose a maxi 12" composed of a riddim by face plus, of course, their dub versions. Good sounds are proposed there.

The first face is squatted by Holyjah from the Reunion island and Downtown Sound. A riddim in the pure style of the Jamaican tradition with a perfect roots sound. In the tradition of bands such as The Abyssinians or song as "Jah No Dead" of Burning Spear... and actually, it's not dead: "Jah Live" is the name this excellent production. A rhythm calm and melancholic, a flow in the same nature. This side is a treasure.
On the second side, it's a riddim by Dawa Hi-Fi which is proposed with a sung version performed by Doctor B. It's "The Right Side" of the record for sound system and other selectors. After the meditation, it's the time to move on the dance floor with a riddim totally inna stepper style. Power, weight, steadily: all the good ingredients to bring fire are on this riddim. Also there, the result is surprising good.

The record will be available starting the next month, the 2nd of October precisely. About the distribution, this one is at he moment "home made". If you are interested, you should contact directly the label by email. The address is rootsrevelationsound[at]hotmail.fr (replace the [at] by the good one).
