MATIC HORNS release "INCREASE THE PEACE"
Coptic Lion CD
Matic Horns has powered his way to the forefront of the world of new roots and reggae music in recent years. His sound distills 30 years of reggae history into a cutting edge modern music that is both powerful and melodic. Henry "Buttons" Tenyue is an extremely talented trombonist who has worked with the cream of Jamaican talent, from Gregory Isaacs and Freddie McGregor to John Holt and Luciano, and alongside the biggest names in the UK, from Aswad and Maxi Priest to UB40 and Soul II Soul. Matic Horns are also closely associated with the new wave of roots movement that has gripped Europe and America, inspired by the sound system culture of the legendary Jah Shaka.
This collection finds him teaming up with top roots vocalist and producer Mike Brooks to blow over a classic selection of rhythms. Classic Bunny Lee productions like Mr Chatterbox and Beat Down Babylon rub shoulders with Keith Hudson’s Old Fashioned Way, as Jamaica’s finest musicians, including Sly and Robbie and the Roots Radics, brew up the heaviest sounds for Buttons to blow his magic over. The album also features some classic Mike Brooks productions like Soldier On The Corner, as well as a sparkling new track mixed by Gussie P featuring Mafia and Fluxy. Every one is a solid gold classic.
Inspired by the spirit of the Skatalites’ Don Drummond, Matic Horns are blasting reggae music into the next century.
