"Rob Smith, RSD is not only a successful dubstep producer and pioneer of the Bristol sound, but also a very popular deejay travelling the world sharing his music. Coming from a reggae background and well-versed in sound system culture, Rob kept some of his best productions for his exclusive use when deejaying, the only way you would hear these gems was being played in one of Rob's sets.

Fortunately, we've managed to persuade Rob to let Reggae Archive Records share these dubplate specials with a wider audience on a limited-edition vinyl LP. Compiled and sequenced in conjunction with Rob, the LP features nine tracks newly edited and mastered by Rob to enhance the bass playback on vinyl, it's cut heavy!

The tracks were recorded between 2006 and 2011, a time when one strand of dubstep heavily embraced reggae and dub. Rob calls these tracks reggae infused dubstep and that's what they are, but Reggae Archive Records is a reggae label and this selection of dubstep tracks will most certainly appeal just as much to reggae and dub fans.

Fusing dubstep beats, reggae samples, and seriously heavy basslines, this is a joyous celebration of musical cross fertilisation that has been tried and tested in clubs worldwide. In keeping with the dubplate origins of the tracks, we have designed the labels to replicate an old school acetate, while the sleeve pays tribute to seventies pre-releases albums with a replica stamp giving just the artist and title on a plain white sleeve with aged effect"

The force is strong in Bristol as the Peng Sound operation surface in style with a second release helmed by Young Echo member Ishan Sound. Arriving roughly a year after the debut, hand stamped release from Gorgon Sound and Dubkasm, the dedication to soundsystem culture and bassweight has very much been maintained on Clash Of The Titans. Soundsystem veteran Ras Addis looms large, his portrait adorning the cover and his voice offering some commanding, authoritative words on justice and equality atop the unforgiving rhythmic work of Ishan Sound. Dubkasm maintain their Peng Sound 100% appearance record with a B Side re/version that coats proceedings in a tough digidub sheen. Lovingly mastered via 1/2inch tape, pressed onto hand-stamped, heavyweight 180g vinyl and presented in a hand numbered special edition of 500 printed sleeves designed by Tape-Echo.
