About Me



ZEBRAS IN THE DANCEHALL 7" AVAILABLE NOW!

'Zebras in the Dancehall' is Habitat Sound's take on the classic 'Diseases' rhythm complete with carnaval whistles, hand percussion, and ecstatic dubbed out vocals. HSS takes this dancehall anthem and turns it on its head with a fresh twist.

'Zebras in the Dubhall' is Dub Traffik Control's fresh and grimy B-side re-fix of the tune with a hard-edged dancefloor beat and irresistible flavor turned out by General Poeta and Captain Turbo. Prince Zohar gives it 2 big spliffs up!

The whole package is designed in a popping old-skool style with deluxe artwork on thick jackets by RE:UP magazine creative director Joshua Lynne; check the big hole 45rpm vinyl with the largest sound!
