Badmood Recordings presents the debut release by Lisbon based producer Skalator.
“Once Upon A Dub Tale” is an experiment in Dub territories, on a more traditional roots vibe. The 3 tracks on the EP are backed up with a remix by one of the Balcan’s big references in reggae sound systems RIS (Roots In Sessions) on a collaboration with Bosnian vocalist Moonia (Baga Sound). A reflection on how sound system culture is, as ever, heavily present around Europe’s club scene and street parties, this work takes you back as far as King Tubby and Augustus Pablo’s sessions with 2012 pressure.
Baga Sound from Tuzla is a Reggae/Jungle branch of Fm Jam, a Hip Hop movement from Bosnia. Members are Moonjah – DJ and vocalist, and Dj Soul. Their long time love and enjoyment for Reggae music, since 2006. converted into the first Reggae sound from Bosnia & Herzegovina. Their sets always have a Roots Reggae for the base, and styles vary from the Roots, Nu Roots and Dub, all the way to the Jungle, Dubstep and Ragga Breaks. Their sets are known to be highly danceable, full of positive energy and excellent quality music.
This approach to music brought Baga Sound numerous appearances throughout the region. In addition to Bosnia, they are frequent and welcome guests in Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia, often alongside some of the most popular Europe DJs. Along most of the Balkan DJs there are names like Benny Page, Big Bud, Danny Wheeler, MC Tali, Aries, Dj Vadim…
Baga Sound has a reputation to be one of the best sounds in the region, and this is also confirmed by the popularity of production in which they are involved. Tracks, remixes and mixes by Baga Sound are extremely popular and have been recognized on many speakers and dance floors across Europe.
