AFRO FUNKE’
WEEKLY FUNK INVOCATION
------------------:~0~:---------------------

CELEBRATING THE RELEASE OF
Bob Marley & The Wailers
“Roots, Rock, Remixed”
Bob Marley is one of the most celebrated and beloved figures on the planet. The term reggae is synonymous
with the musical legacy he left behind. Digging deeply into that sacred catalog, the dozen remixes of legendary
songs on Roots, Rock, Remixed (Quango/rockr music) are taking the familiar and cherished and reintroducing it
to sound systems worldwide.

Featuring a crop of today’s hottest producers – including Jimpster (a.k.a. Jamie Odell), Yes King (Rhys Adams
& Mark Rae,)Trio Elétrico (Boozoo Bajou), Fort Knox Five and DJ Spooky – Roots, Rock, Remixed balances
that fine line of being respectful to the inimitable artist Nesta was, and using the bass-heavy, digital technologies
available to us today. Nothing of the gorgeous, crackly analog originals (including classics like “One Love,”
“Trenchtown Rock,” and “Lively Up Yourself”) is lost in translation.

"Retains the songs and the spirit of the original Wailers... a great dance party record."
- Chris Blackwell (Founder, Island Records)

guest deejay:
YES KING
(AKA MARK RAE)
Mark Rae’s name has become synonymous with the Rae & Christian tag that is totemic in the club world.
His latest production alongside Rhys Adams, Yes King, grew out of a trip to Jamaica to record local vocalists.
While the duo swings from ska to skank to ragga and dancehall in their rhythmic assaults, their reworking of
“Sun is Shining” adds a bass-heavy foundation to this classic melodica-driven track.
