Nazamba & Dubsetters kicked off this new Finnish Dub & Sound label in a superb style recently and what better way to follow that up than with the reggae master, smoking king and weed aficionado Linval Thompson. This might sound like one of his classic lost cuts from the 70s but it is actually an all new tune from the Jamaican reggae icon. Dubsetters provide the gentle, percussive rhythms which are organic and deep, with Linval's smooth mic work up top adding to the global conversation about the decriminalization of cannabis. Flip it over for an even more mellow and dubbed out sound on the B-side.

Unreleased material from the lost tapes of the album that Avi Matos recorded in 1986. First seeing the light of day nearly 40 years in excile! One of the first ever reggae and dub records to be made in Israel it's produced by the legendary Dennis Bovell and Yossi Fine."Ish I'm Neshama" (man with soul) was featured on Matos' iconic "Lokeach Et Hayom Leat" album that was released in 1986 - but this dub version, wrapped in a deep hypnosis and stripped right back to its core riddim, has never before been placed on vinyl!A true mystic roots track, with strong Nyabinghi flavours and a sunny groove that Sly & Robbie might themselves have conjured up. It's a true dub classic that few (even the heads) will know about. Proper presha!
