okada

in germanys reggae scene the okada supersound is now around for 6 years and about 50 gigs a year throughout germany, austria, switzerland, italy and poland. 2002 originally formed as DON ABIs backing band (top 5 Brothers Keepers Artist, V2 records) the okada supersound is now working for different national artists between reggae, hip-hop and soul. as they started as DON ABIs personal backing band in 2005 they mainly backed top-20 Artist ZOE (www.zoeciety.de). For 2006 they continue conquering also with germany’s most reggae newcomer MAXIM (www.maximmusic.net) whose record was already voted as 2005’s 2nd best german reggae-artist behind ’seeed’. after reaching so many people and after getting so much positive reactions it is 2008 now time for their own record which is produced by okada keyboarder guido craveiro (who already did remixes and productions for chaka khan/de la soul, moloko, bootsy collins, ricky martin, moni love, umoya, zoe ect). as at least a guest-vocal record is now an obligation okada postponed it for the first moment - as okada’s passion is the pure dub-massacre they decided to throw away all commercial bullshit and to follow their idealistic mission. even if the record shall be mainly instrumental they could not command theirself and invited their personal faves dub-dj legend BIG YOUTH and street-poet, author and tv host DR BENJAMIN ZEPHANIA to join. Aswell as the timeless voice of legend EARL 16, the punky attitude of Birmingham’s RANKING ROGER (THE BEAT) or probably germany’s best reggae singer EASED (SEEED). So beware of the tough-minded dub explosion which you could follow so often during their live-shows - recording is already in process & the whole will be pressed in late may 08 on COLISSION / ECHO BEACH, word. check out www.myspace.com/policeindub
