Browse by Label: SHOCKOUT


Artist: TIMEBLIND/OVE NAXX/DJ C/WAYNE LONESOME
Title: Come Back Wicked
Label: SHOCKOUT
Format: 12"
Price: $8.50
Catalog #: SHOCK 004EP
"This installment of Shockout's 12-inch series pits a dancehall MC of serious weight and lyrical force against innovative and capable electronic musicians. Come Back Wicked is a tuff bad-boy salute to vengeance and confrontation voiced by Jamaican-born MC Wayne Lonesome (The Bug, Razor X). Music is provided by esteemed techno/electronica innovator Timeblind. Also stepping up to the international soundclash scene are Ove-Naxx and DJ C."


Artist: TEAM SHADETEK/DROP THE LIME/RED DRAGON
Title: Gal Yu Nuh Beg
Label: SHOCKOUT
Format: 12"
Price: $8.50
Catalog #: SHOCK 006EP
"Two of New York's hot new electronic acts, Team Shadetek and Drop The Lime, join true dancehall classic Red Dragon (aka Kingston-born Leroy May, one of Jamaica's most consistently popular DJs who has worked with King Tubby, King Jammy's, Steely And Clevie, Bobby Digital, Danny Browne, Winston Riley, Fashion Records, VP, and Sly and Robbie's Taxi label). Teasing the dance floor found link is Drop The Lime's evolving direction. The beats are raw but steady; broken dancehall rhythms swarm in all directions, catching an organized structure by the swollen bass and pinsharp vocal delivery of Red Dragon's sexually provocative toasting."


Artist: DJ RUPTURE/COM.A/WICKED ACT
Title: No Heathen
Label: SHOCKOUT
Format: 12"
Price: $8.50
Catalog #: SHOCK 007EP
"No Heathen has a dynamite vocal delivered with apocalyptic fervor by Jamaican dancehall MC Wicked Act, an aptly named friend and collaborator of Wayne Lonesome. Renegade global turntablist DJ/Rupture takes a break from nonstop touring for studio production; the blazing 'Blacksmith Riddim' is the first fruit of his work. Rupture joins Wicked Act's strident ragga vocals to a dancefloor-ready, post-Neptunes beat. The instrumental version allows the bad-ass bassline and uncategorizable, funky hiphop-reggae riddim structure to shine. Another Rupture banger, perfectly timed for a summer soundsystem meltdown."


Artist: POIRIER/EIGHT FROZEN MODULES/DADDY SCREW, GHISLAIN
Title: Be Strong
Label: SHOCKOUT
Format: 12"
Price: $8.50
Catalog #: SHOCK 009EP
"Critically acclaimed for ultra-minimal explorations of the techno sound, Montrealer Ghislain Poirier recently converted to the religion of head-bobbing with his punishing ragga-style beats and deconstructed, abstract hip hop. Eight Frozen Modules explore the boundaries of sonic bliss, scaling and shaping sounds, creating an erratically cohesive stream of audio data. No sound is left unchanged, and rhythms are sculpted to the point where time signatures are indistinguishable and irrelevant. A by-product of EFM's dedication to the re-engineering of sound is self-imposed cabin fever that bounces from giggling mania to panicked oblivion. A love of dub and ragga production led to work with Shockout, laying tracks and producing for topnotch DJs such as Wayne Lonesome and Daddy Screw."


Artist: VA

Label: SHOCKOUT
Format: CD
Price: $15.00

Inspired by the leftfield dancehall of Ward 21, Vybez Kartel, Lenky, Remarc, Congo Natty and Bad Company's best releases, the excitement of DJ Rupture's early ragga / IDM / breakcore mashups, and Razor X (the seminal pairing of Kevin Martin's Bug project and the Rootsman's Third Eye label), Shockout specializes in strictly original music and exclusive vocals, hot, vital electronic producers and maverick MCs."
