What happened to Lacksley Castell ?

15 Upvotes

Wikipedia is saying he died at the age of 24 after illness but the saddest part is that he was in an unmarked grave until 2020.
Anyone have more info. I love the artist and I’m sure I’m not the only one. For such a young man, I find his tracks are amazing and he would deserve to be mentioned way more often than he is.

New Release New EP: three instrumental reggae/dub tracks

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've been making dub as Illegal State Of Mind for a while, and my earlier releases wandered quite a bit: dub mixed with psy, dubstep and downtempo, lots of electronics, synth basslines, gear experiments. For this one I put all of that aside.

Strings, Springs, Keys & Sticks is a 3-track instrumental EP (about 10:40), out today. It's built on improvisation, live instruments and classic sounds: bass guitar, organ, piano, melodica, offbeat guitar chops, roots drums, and spring reverb treated as an instrument rather than just a room. Mostly major keys, warm rather than dark, no detours into other genres.

The title is the line-up: strings (bass and guitar), springs (the reverb tank), keys (organ, piano, melodica) and sticks (drums).

  1. Tonewheel Driver – upbeat roots reggae led by the keys

  2. Preamp Heater – the heavy one: dark bass softened by improvised piano

  3. Reverb Trigger – spacious, laid-back dub built on drums and bass

The mixes are all about space and sound, with very little processing on top of it. It's inspired by the classics, King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry in the studio, Jackie Mittoo on the organ, and the mellow reggae of Mikey Dread and The Clash, with a nod to the modern weight of Zion Train.

Your mobile phone was placed inside a locked pouch before you entered the room; so you couldn’t take photos or videos during the performance. This is his set up; taken prior to the start of his performance.

Had the pleasure of bumping into Chronixx in Bath Town Centre prior to his performance at Fairfield House, the home to HIM Haile Selassie 1 when in exile. Chronixx was gracious enough to pose for a photograph with my wife. We were fortunate to get tickets for the performance where he sang and played guitar to a small, very appreciative, audience before we left with an autographed copy of the Exile album. The guided tour of the house was enlightening and a worthwhile addition to the event.

Echo Lyah is it AI

6 Upvotes

https://open.spotify.com/album/4TTpUF0GoToapEGc7l69iR

I have come across this album that i thought was pretty good, but after some afterthought i really think is an AI project.

Cannot really find any info about this artist, except its social media who look like AI generated posts with non-organic thousands of likes and comments.

Also the album is nice but is quite repetitive.

Can someone please confirm my suspicions?

Thanks

So I created these 2 playlists specifically for this subreddit.

I tried as best I could to get every Dennis Brown song I could find on Spotify.

So there's two playlists

1 is all the songs by album in order from the 70s to current

The other is all the singles & EPs I could find on Spotify

Please feel free to have a listen
