NEWS, UPDATES AND INFO

As 2005 draws to a chilly end in the UK, we find ourselves taking sanctuary in the studio and working on new material for a planned third album. We have linked up with some old friends from back in the day including Dennis “D-Ranks” Wint and Bruno from the Burnin Sound HiFi and continue on our musical exploration. Expect some pre release flavaz soon.....

The Roots Reality stable of collaborators and artists continues to grow and after a summer of hip hop fusion with The Decker Gives Chase crew featuring Jonathon Swift, Marcus & DJ Seamless, we are pleased to announce the arrival  of Slim “Snips” Walker into our collective. Snips is close to finishing his eagerly awaited debut album with a current working title of Disney Drive. His accoustical approach and songwriting craftsmanship is a joy to behold in this current political climate of turmoil and war.

Stephen “Marli” Wright (Lead guitarist for Ijahman Levi, Culture and Lee Scratch Perry) is close to finishing off his Loyal Souls album. Having already mastered the majority of the album for him, I can already confirm that this album is a killa with no filla! His attention to detail on every single track has to be respected as he sets out to present a rock solid album from start to finish. Superb vocals and harmonies set against some seriously sweet reggae music with an edge.

SAD TO HEAR OF THE PASSING OF JUNIOR DELGADO. ANOTHER GREAT SINGER & ARTIST WHO INSPIRED US OVER THE YEARS. LONG MAY HIS MEMORY AND MUSIC LIVE ON.

CHECK OUT THE NEW UPDATED MERCHANDISE PAGE FROM THE SHOP MENU. NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE SOME SERIOUSLY FUNKY GEAR, BUT YOU WILL
HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH THE VIRTUAL DRESSING ROOM......... Its sick!!!!!
 

Both albums are now long over due which we can only put down to ruff red tape business and sample clearances taking longer than expected. However, the delay has enabled us to add some additional tweaks for your musical pleasure.........
PRE RELEASE FEEDBACK HAS BEEN TOTALLY POSITIVE WITH PEOPLE LOVING THE NEW STYLE AND FLAVA

live shows & DJ sets.

In the meantime....... Having spent the past few years locked away in several studios working on various projects, collaborations and remixes, The Urban Roots and The Urban Rockers are more than ready to step out and are definately coming “outta the wilderness” with two new albums to showcase in sight & sound.

ITS OFFICIAL - Top thespian, blagger and funny man Paul Kaye, aka Dennis Pennis, says of The Urban Roots, “They’re fuckin’ alright as it happens”.

Nuff respect for “Two thousand Acres and Its all gone Pete Tong” and a whole heap of laughs.

We are currently working on a whole new live showcase and mind blowing visual backdrops
whilst still getting requests to supply and fit studios.........
 

Actually took some time out this summer to get out of the studio and into the broad light of day by helping friend and collaborator Mikey Dread out with some of his UK tour. Naturally a lot of fun was had along the way with plenty nice people too. To find out more about Mikeys dates & tour, click on “LIVE DATES”
