From their cover of \"Hung Up On My Baby\" done in a Reggae style, to the general sound and approach that permeates Leon's production style. While recording Bailey's 2020 Ekundayo album, they did some straight forward reggae tunes inspired by different eras alongside some modern R\u0026amp;B tracks that would fit more comfortably next to Frank Ocean than Jacob Miller. It is this same notion that old and new can live so comfortably together that birthed the idea of Ekundayo Inversions.\n\nTraditional dub came out of reggae in the late 60s and early 70s when pioneers like King Tubby and Lee Perry started taking the multi track recordings of songs and running them back through the board adding effects and additional instrumentation. These recordings are called \"dubs\" or \"versions\" and are typically instrumentals with flourishes of vocals from the original tracks. \n\nEl Michels decided to use the blueprints left behind and make something using the influences of today. He wound up straying so far from the traditional format that it didn't seem right to use the word 'Dub', hence Ekundayo Inversions. All the songs are tied together by WhatsApp messages between Leon and Liam that perfectly narrate the story of this record and their working relationship. \n\nOne of the highlights of Ekundayo Inversions is a guest appearance from the legendary Lee \"Scratch\" Perry on the \"Ugly Truth\" version. L$P switches between singing and talking, proclaiming his powers one minute and playing with the track's title the next. On \"Awkward Pt.2\" Leon takes one of the most experimental songs from Ekundayo and actually straightens it out. A track that once seemed to be floating in space has now been anchored by the addition of drums and bass. \"Faded\", a version of \"Paper Tiger\", is given the full EMA treatment with the addition of emotive horns over an uncomfortably sparse rhythm track peppered with Liam's voice drenched in delay and echo. \"Champions\" features a verse from Black Thought of The Roots and halfway through, El Michels sends the rhythm section 50 years back.\n\nAt the end of the day, Ekundayo Inversions is a testament to how strong the original songs are. Whether they're in a R\u0026amp;B style, reggae style, stripped down to their bare bones, or loaded with production, the songs will move you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Conquer ; Divide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Amazing Women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Angel Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Walk with Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No One Else\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ugly Truths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Love NY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Superstar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Awkward (Take 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lucky Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Faded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Crown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45006310146269,"sku":"349223011951","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3979571-2715659.jpg?v=1727223141"},{"product_id":"liam-bailey-champion-remix-feat-black-thought-ugly-truth-remix","title":"Liam Bailey- Champion (Remix) feat.

The rough and tough drum break intro catches you from the first beat before the track gives way to an infectious and uplifting reggae-dis- co number. Liam's instantly recognizable voice showers his muse with praise over deep round bass lines and a four on the floor beat. The combination of Leon Michels' crushing production and Bailey's lyrics like \"You love yourself, you're so exciting, like no one else\"... is sure to make this a staple in dj sets around the globe. The B side \"Cold \u0026amp; Clear\" is a proper lighters in the air, slap the wall, top ranking tune. The track struts in the door with a natural and undeniable confidence. Liam weaves a heavy metacognitive story over the one drop drums, perfect basslines, and organ stabs that will have people stepping in rhythm. The lo-fi production weaves elements from the finest early rocksteady era with touches from the late 70s \/ early 80s digital era and takes the entire vibe into the present with unorthodox arrangements and vocal treatments. Bailey has a tune here that will hold up next to the classics in the dancehalls from the yards of Jamaica to the discotheques in his homeland of England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cold ; Clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Crown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45006542995677,"sku":"349223009415","price":10.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3841112-2584350.jpg?v=1727216277"},{"product_id":"liam-bailey-ekundayo","title":"Liam Bailey- Ekundayo (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBig Crown Records is proud to present Ekundayo, Liam Bailey's debut record on the label.

Liam flew out to New York and those first sessions together produced the now classic tunes \"When Will They Learn\" and \"I'm Gonna Miss You\" which still get spins at reggae spots around the globe.

Set to release in November 2020, the album is called Ekundayo. And the word's meaning may be all you need to know to get to the essence of this project. It means \"sorrow becomes joy\" in Yoruba, a language spoken mostly in Western Africa. On the surface, Ekundayo is a weighty Reggae record, full of new and old textured riddims. But listen more in-depth, and you'll find subject matter that's more recognizable from a modern-day R\u0026amp;B record. An example of the former is the first single off the album. Sung to the most beautiful woman at the nightspot, \"Champion\" is a joyous anthem powered by a silly-thick Juno-bass throb and 808-proof drums. In short, \"Champion\" is dancehall-ready. But then there's a song like \"Don't Blame NY.\" Moody and sparse with a somber drive, you might have to resist the urge to compare it to a Frank Ocean-ish type vibe. Liam's voice is in a different but fitting element here, showing stripped-back emotion and soulful restraint. Anyone who has lived and tried to thrive in New York won't have a hard time relating to the lyrics but they may join the masses who blame the city, while Liam points the finger at himself and sings praises to The Big Apple.\n\nCredit to Leon's hand, elements of Jamaican production are everywhere, peppered throughout the record.

Some evidence: \"Ugly Truth\" is about reconnecting with his biological father, a subject he once thought would be too personal to address. The journey from conforming to major labels to this latest record has been a long one for Liam, and a bit of a struggle. But struggle may be the only way we truly grow and evolve.

Liam is an English singer and songwriter from Nottingham with Jamaican roots but a style and sound completely his own. The first 7\" is taken from his upcoming album and was produced by long time collaborator, Leon Michels. The pair fist worked together 10 years ago on the song, \"When Will They Learn\" which has since become a club favorite at reggae nights around the globe. Side A, Champion, is a song that is in a class all by itself and certainly a slight departure for Liam and Leon. Thumping Juno bass and drums fortified with an 808, this reggae tinged banger is designed to bust up woofers and blow out dance floors. While Liam waxes poetic about a type of girl that is as prodigious as she is pulchritudinous, the rhythm is a hypnotic groove that begs to be played over and over again. Side B, Please Love Me Again, finds Liam in a place that most people might know him for. A beautiful written song with nothing more than stunning vocals and acoustic guitar.

From their cover of \"Hung Up On My Baby\" done in a Reggae style, to the general sound and approach that permeates Leon's production style. While recording Bailey's 2020 Ekundayo album, they did some straight forward reggae tunes inspired by different eras alongside some modern R\u0026amp;B tracks that would fit more comfortably next to Frank Ocean than Jacob Miller. It is this same notion that old and new can live so comfortably together that birthed the idea of Ekundayo Inversions.Traditional dub came out of reggae in the late 60s and early 70s when pioneers like King Tubby and Lee Perry started taking the multi track recordings of songs and running them back through the board adding effects and additional instrumentation. These recordings are called \"dubs\" or \"versions\" and are typically instrumentals with flourishes of vocals from the original tracks. El Michels decided to use the blueprints left behind and make something using the influences of today. He wound up straying so far from the traditional format that it didn't seem right to use the word 'Dub', hence Ekundayo Inversions. All the songs are tied together by WhatsApp messages between Leon and Liam that perfectly narrate the story of this record and their working relationship. One of the highlights of Ekundayo Inversions is a guest appearance from the legendary Lee \"Scratch\" Perry on the \"Ugly Truth\" version. L$P switches between singing and talking, proclaiming his powers one minute and playing with the track's title the next. On \"Awkward Pt.2\" Leon takes one of the most experimental songs from Ekundayo and actually straightens it out. A track that once seemed to be floating in space has now been anchored by the addition of drums and bass. \"Faded\", a version of \"Paper Tiger\", is given the full EMA treatment with the addition of emotive horns over an uncomfortably sparse rhythm track peppered with Liam's voice drenched in delay and echo. \"Champions\" features a verse from Black Thought of The Roots and halfway through, El Michels sends the rhythm section 50 years back.At the end of the day, Ekundayo Inversions is a testament to how strong the original songs are. Whether they're in a R\u0026amp;B style, reggae style, stripped down to their bare bones, or loaded with production, the songs will move you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConquer ; Divide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmazing Women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngel Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalk with Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo One Else\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUgly Truths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Love NY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperstar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAwkward (Take 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLucky Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaded ^14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46986118398173,"sku":"349223011920","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3979570-2715658.jpg?v=1762930464"},{"product_id":"liam-bailey-flesh-armor","title":"Liam Bailey- Flesh + Armor (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince moving to Lopez Island in Puget Sound last year, Liam Bailey has learned to simplify. \"I want to sing about the mystery of our brief and beautiful time on earth together. It's not that I want to understand it or define it for anybody else, but I need my listeners to know that I am in awe of our earthly circumstances and that they should be too. There's a party going on and we're all invited.\" Sometimes Bailey's dissection of the mystery can come across as religious examination, or at least flirting with those concepts, but really it's just more evidence of the way that bluegrass, blues and other American music has seeped under his skin. While Bailey has always been comfortable playing a range of styles, he's now loose enough in his interpretive abilities to experiment with instruments he's not proficient in. He has abandoned the electric guitar for the mandolin, and has been playing the three-string tres in a Cuban band on Lopez. After attending high school in Holland and the USA, Bailey attended college in Boston. \" I was shamed out of my heavy metal passion and my tastes changed very quickly,\" Bailey recounts. \"I got right into jazz and then bluegrass after that.\" His biggest influence has been guitarist Bill Frisell. \"He wasn't ashamed of his roots in rock and roll. He incorporated them into his jazz playing and melded them with bluegrass and Americana. He has a unique approach and so do I.\" Like Frisell, Bailey didn't want to be limited to one genre of music. \"I became passionate about everything I heard,\" Bailey admits. \"If I listened to Django then I wanted to play swing, if I listened to Dave Douglas I wanted to play jazz and if I listened to Jeff Buckley then I wanted to play rock. It's still that way.\" In addition to guitar, he took on the fiddle as well as the mandolin. He also began to sing. His first label-released album, \"Flesh and Armor\" was released in early 2006 on Mad River Records in Connecticut. \"The record is literally that,\" Bailey says, \"A record of that week. I always wanted to make a live recording and I feel that the magic of music is in the moment that you create with a live performance.\" Bailey formed a band from musicians he'd played with in various guises previously and went into the studio after two days of rehearsal. \"I'm so into performing now,\" he says. \"Music is a real-time art form and my relationship with my audience is where the magic happens. I want everyone to feel this on my recordings.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen the Feeling Is Done\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Never Been So Lonesome (With Someone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Keep Track of Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Don't Walk Through the Valley All Alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSixes \u0026amp; Sevens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlesh \u0026amp; Armor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandful of Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCastle for a Home, A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's a Mystery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-Over-Snow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrying to Remember You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46986676699357,"sku":"856843001014","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/916341.jpg?v=1762931422"}],"url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/collections\/liam-bailey.oembed","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
