MARCH
2007
Sorry about
the delay in getting new info on this site. We got hacked late last year
and lost the whole thing. We have been busy trying to get album number
2 finished so our website took a backseat for a while. Anyway, here is
the latest.
“THE
LOST DUB TAPES” is
available for DIGITAL DOWNLOAD NOW. Go to our LINKS
PAGE for the iTUNES LINK.
To
all Dub/Reggae fans eagerly awaiting the next
Secret Masters release,
fear not. It is on the way and it is loaded with a heavyweight selection
of original riddims and guests.
This time around we went to the source
- Jamaica - to record some hot talent, new and established.
In Kingston we linked up with Kulcha
Knox and Shanti Reblah. In
Mo’Bay we had Mad Doggy Dog on
the mic for a killa Weed anthem for all the Herbalists dem. We
also had Tippa Irie in
the studio while he was on tour in Melbourne as well as having the UK's
Mad Professor do a crazy
dub remix of
a brand new Tippa tune. Kylie
Auldist is back with 2
huge tracks as well as local legend Bunny
Wallace (ex Lion) and uk
singer Natty “original
bubbler” Wailer with
some soulful vibes. It is packed full of Irie surprises and should be
out soon.

We
have put out a couple of new tracks in the meantime though.
Look
out for "Melbourne Yard",
a Radio 3PBS FM compilation that
showcases the strength of the Melbourne Dub/Reggae scene in 2006. We’ve
collaborated with fellow dubsmith, I-Sonic
Selecta, on a tune called
"Hot Love" featuring
the vocals of Lee Perry.
Other artists on the disc include The Red
Eyes, Beam Up, Peyote Soundsystem, Mista Savona and more. You
won’t be able to buy this release though. The only way to get a
copy is by subscribing to 3PBS. www.pbsfm.org.au
The
"Not Drowning Waving" remix
album containing our version of "Blackwater"
is also out now. It’s called
"Maps for Sonic Adventurers",
released by Liberation Music, and contains 17 reinterpretations of songs
from NDW’s vast back catalogue. We’ve given their track a
stripped back dub
makeover and NDW drummer Russel Bradley said it’s
his favourite remix out of them all.www.notdrowningwaving.com.
Bless, laters.

SECRET MASTERS ARE PLANNING A TRIP TO JAMAICA PRIOR TO COMMENCING RECORDING THEIR NEXT ALBUM. DONNIE DUB SAYS “ Melbourne is a wikid city but it does not have quite the same vibes as JA. We need to get some of those real vibes b4 we get deep into the next one. Whaddaya say Dokta Congo?” On that tip, lets hope hurricane Ivan didn’t do too much damage recently.
