DREADZONE (UK)

Albumi I ri I dread zone vetëm sa ska dalë dhe si gjithherave është edhe një document se ky bend po shkon gjithnjë e më lart drejt majave me vetëbesim. Këta djelmosha kanë qenë duke performuar nëpër festival gjatë gjithë veres si dhe kanë bërë turne nëpër tërë Evropën dhe me hitin e tyre Tomorrow never comes kanë pushtuar zemrat e të gjithë dëgjuesve.

Kombinimi I vokaleve të MC Space dhe Earl 16 është I paparashikueshëm. Kitara e përcjell Beyond a Rock përderisa For a Reason tregon sa shumë energji ka ky bend të përkrah paqen dashurinë dhe unitetin.
Historia e Dreadzone filloi me Creation Records të Alan McGee më saktësisht me albumit e tyre të parë “360” I cli theu rekordet, duke vazhduar valën me albumin e tyre vendimtar në 1995 që u quajt SECOND LIGHT dhe u mbështet nga John Peel (I cili përfshiu albumin në top 10 e tij favorit të të gjitha kohërave). His singli I atij albumi I cili u gjind në top 20, Little Britain ka filluar të cilësohet si klasikë.

Me 26 Prill, 2010 pritet lancimi I shumëpritur I albumit EYE ON THE HORIZON. Duke reflektuar një të kaluar illustrative të bendit dhe numrat e të ardhmes, albumi EYE ON THE HORIZON vetëm po vazhdon aty ku ka mbetur me top 20 hitin Little Britain.

Ai do ta reprezenton bendin me 10 kangë të cilat kryesisht janë shkruar në kundërshtim me dancekredibilitetin në muzikën dub. Ky zhanër/stil bëri që ata me qenë një ndër pionierët original të muzikës dance.
MC-ing dhe reggae vokalet I shoqërojnë live kitarat, bitet elektronike dhe dub basin deri në perfeksion.

Albumi përfshinë sempla simbolik (intron legjendar të Long Good Friday on Gangster, një pjesë tekstuale prej Ëhip them Jah për Dread-sat Amerikan të Ëoody Guthire dhe Dennis Broëns) ku që të gjitha harmonizohen aq mirë me bass dhe beat të Dreadzone.
New Dreadzone studio album ‘EYE ON THE HORIZON’ out April 26th 2010

(DUBWISER RECORDS)
“A welcome return for the defenders of bass! Dreadzone are back with their new album 'Eye on the Horizon' and as usual they draw fast and shoot straight to the heart of the matter: music to move you mind and your feet.” Don Letts, Culture Clash Radio BBC 6 Music

“The new Dreadzone album is about to drop, and if this sampler is anything to go by they’re as on-point, uplifting and conscious as ever. These guys have been rocking festivals all summer and touring Europe ever since, and sweet reggae-tinged lilt ‘Tomorrow Never Comes’ is sure to have been a new live fave in their set. The vocal interplay between Earl 16 and MC Spee is super. A huge guitar riff carries Beyond A Rock, and then dub steppa ‘For A Reason’ shows that these guys have the will and wherewithal to spread vibes of peace, love and unity for a long time yet” DJ Mag

April 26th 2010 sees the release of the much anticipated Dreadzone album EYE ON THE HORIZON. Reflecting the band illustrious past and innovative releases, EYE ON THE HORIZON firmly picks up where the bands popular top 20 chart hit LITTLE BRITAIN left off. It reinvents the band with ten tracks that signify the move into fully formed songwriting against a backdrop of dubwise dancabilty. This style helped them to become one of the UK's original dance music pioneers , with a style that has since spawned many sub genres. MCing and reggae vocals partner the mix of live guitars, electronic beats and dub bass to perfection. The album features iconic samples (notably, the legendary theme from Long Good Friday on Gangster, a spoken word piece from Woody Guthrie and Dennis Browns Greensleeves classic Whip Them Jah on American Dread) all of which compliment the bass and beat heavy Dreadzone style perfectly.

The Dreadzone story began with Alan McGee‘s Creation Records and their first groundbreaking album 360, continuing with major waves their seminal 1995 album SECOND LIGHT picking up support from John Peel (who included the album in his top ten favourite albums of all time). The top 20 hit from that album LITTLE BRITAIN has since gone on to acquire classic status. Five critically acclaimed albums later they are set to remind people why the Dread sound is still very much a part of the musical landscape of this country.

The core members Greg Dread, original bassmaster Leo Williams, the unmistakable MC Spee, legendary Studio One vocalist Earl 16 alongside Chris Compton on guitar and Chris Oldfield on technology make up the new line up. The bands influence extends not only out into the current scene as one of the pioneers of dub based music in this country, but rewinding to back in the day as the rhythm section of Mick Jones’ Big Audio Dynamite in the 80s . Their roots are embedded in the history of West London sound clash and with a drum and bass partnership of 25 years this year Leo and Greg are still rolling strong and rocking the nation with their distinctive rhythms.

Dreadzone are set to roll like thunder again with a string of live dates already announced in 2010 bringing the music and ingenuity of this unique British group to the people.
