.
A great event with smooth people in a friendly mood, that's what I got from the Telerama Dub Festival last week-end !

Big up to the people in the place that really got into my liveset, we had an sort of communion I enjoyed a lot.
I got this nice video from Mr34Dubwise on youtube if you want to get a peep :

The track I play is one from my upcoming album to be out spring 2011 so it's a surprise preview ! It's featuring : Benjamin Leska (Denmark) on the Organ, Tribuman (France) on the trumpet, and Control Tower (France) on the trombone.

We should make a medley-teaser of this live set to introduce the album, so stay tuned on the usual channels ;)

Some nice Volfoniq remix(ed) in LCL composition contest !

2010-11-28T14:08:00.006+01:00

Hey everybody,

Some time ago, I put several of my track sources on LibreCommeLair (LCL, my "home" label) free sound bank (check here : http://www.lclweb.org/free_soundbank.htm )

There are already some nice reworks that come from various countries, so I'd like to share them with you....

- The latest was from Tony Dubshot, a dub producer from the Lowlands, based on my Drumsong version :

Drumsong riddim dubshot's boombastic redub (By Tony Dubshot - Lowlands) by La boite a sons

- A few weeks earlier, there was a rework of "Mystic Riddim" by Uffe from Sweden :

Henri Martin Affair (by Uffe - Sweden) by La boite a sons

- From a south american producer named "Caballo" came this funny version of "Skango" :

Skango remix (by Caballo & The Mothafu Kings - Canada) by La boite a sons

- And last but not least, three sung versions of "Mystic Riddim" straight from Jamaica by Money Pallet, Jah Henchman and Triple D :

Live much longer (by Money Pallet - Jamaica) by La boite a sons

Real Avatar (by Jah Henchman - Jamaica) by La boite a sons

Live to raze again (by Triple D - Jamaica) by La boite a sons

Hope you enjoyed the travel ! If you feel like bowsing the free sound bank and produce track, you still have until december the 31st to submit your work. Learn everything here : http://www.lclweb.org/free_soundbank.htm

That should be enough to make you wait until next week : I'll release a new 3 tracks EP riddiming on the Mystic Riddim with great featurings from France, Mexico and Germany. Stay tuned on LibreCommeLair !
