Man With A Mission by Big Youth / The 18th ParallelAnother scorcher for DJ superstar BIG YOUTH! Earlier this year, The 18th Parallel teamed up with Big Youth on the rockers one drop ‘Long Road’ released on Skankin’ Society Records. Now they are back together with a second single called ‘MAN WITH A MISSION’. Super heavy rub a dub riddim driven by a powerful bassline and none other than legendary Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace on drums. Horns blowing like the trumpets of Jericho, moog synthesizer lurking like a haunting ghost and thunderstorm spring reverbs create an apocalyptic atmosphere perfectly suited to Big Youth’s poignant vocals. The power of this song comes from the way it was recorded. March 2013, downtown Kingston, 45 Charles Street at night. Gunshot in the neighborhood, police in the streets. Big Youth was outside the studio. He went right through the recording booth, never gave a listen to the riddim, ask the engineer to roll and put his heart and soul into the song: no filter, no second thought, just pure inspiration and message in the lyrics. One take. This is the most spontaneous and genuine testimony you can get from the magic of studio vibes in Kingston. Another masterpiece from Master Jah Youth!‘MAN WITH A MISSION’ is part of the upcoming 18th Parallel album ‘DOWNTOWN SESSIONS’ to be released November 18th on Fruits Records.créditsparu le 23 septembre 2022Music played by Horsemouth & The 18th ParallelDrums, percussion: Leroy “Horsemouth” WallaceBass: Primo VivianiPiano, organ, moog: Mathias LiengmeRhythm guitar: Léo MarinLead guitar: AB MerlinTrumpet: Thomas FlorinTrombone: Anthony Dietrich BuclinBacking vocals: Brother Wildman, Maga LionLead vocals: Big YouthRecorded at Small World Studio, Kingston, by Gaylard Bravo and Perry Hendricks, at Bridge Studio, Geneva, by Mathias Liengme and at Nations Studio, Geneva, by Jimmy Tubb.Additional recordings at at Evidence Music Studio, Geneva, by Mathias Liengme and Nicolas Meury.Mixed at A-Lone Ark Muzik Studio, Santander, by Roberto Sánchez.Mastered at Precise Mastering, Hawick, by Sam John.Music composed and arranged by Mathias Liengme, Primo Viviani and Leroy Wallace.Produced by Mathias Liengme.Executive producers: Mathias Liengme, Primo Viviani and Fruits Records.
