Publicado el por Fran

Digital downloads / streaming

“Dem fi Know” is the fifth single from Cool Up Records, this time with the powerful voice of Virtus, one of the most prolific artists in the Reggae scene in Italy. The song is a “killer tune” with shades of Rub a Dub and Dancehall of the 90s, in which Virtus shows us an impeccable style using his vocal versatility and talent. This track is a proof of the freshness that characterize the sound of Cool Up Records. About the name and the topic of the song, Virtus insists us on “letting them know what his lifestyle is, his passion for Dancehall music and encourages people who think twice to shout loudly and dance”.

This song is just a sneak peek of what would be the Virtus’ new EP alongside Cool Up Records. How it is fequent, the illustration has been made by the authentic and original Mr John Vanilla.

“What a Vibe” (2018) is Payoh SoulRebel‘s first solo album under the exclusive production of Cool Up Records, a young record label from Seville (Spain), formed by Alameda Sound & Legalize Sound. The album is a tribute to the Jamaican deep/pure music, what we have grown with, enjoying so. The main style is Reggae Roots, with Rocksteady shapes and Early Digital from the 80’s. The album name is about all the energy that it gives off, from the creation process to the final message that it transmits. The love to the music, the happiness and the positivity are some of the topics that Payoh SoulRebel sings demonstrating mastery and elegance, through his excellent voice..

The album includes two songs featuring some of the most appealing singers in the Seville’s reggae scene,Tunelon Iration and Burian Fyah. Another artist from Seville who appears in the album is Variedub, a reggae producer who has made a unique dub version for the album. In this way, they want to keep and share all the human and musical quality from their hometown.

As usual, in every Cool Up Records work the art has been made by the original and creative Mr John Vanilla, the label’s official art director. Who always convey with his illustrations his particular point of view on the project, in this occasion with the assistance of Delvina Mckinson.
