HEAVYWEIGHT DUB CHAMPION set to release Rise of the Champion Nation on May 5th, 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HEAVYWEIGHT DUB CHAMPION set to release Rise of the Champion Nation on May 5th, 2009

"Heavyweight Dub Champion restores all hope." - KRS-ONE

Founded in a log cabin at 9,000 feet in the mountains of Colorado, and now based in San Francisco, California, Heavyweight Dub Champion is a movement of interdimensional warriors representing the Army of the Last Champion. Firmly rooted in hip hop, dancehall, dub and electronic music, founder and Last Champion Manifesto author Resurrector transcends space and time wielding an arsenal of deep revolutionary audio with support from a evolving crew of co-conspirators that include co-founder Patch, Totter Todd, Dr. Israel, A.P.O.S.T.L.E, Jillian Ann and Stero-Lion. At the collective's core is the universal intention of inspiration, mind expansion and transformation through creative expression - all of which manifests in their collective artistic performance known as The Liberation Process.

Their award-winning debut album Survival Guide for the End of Time is a hard-hitting slab of revolutionary consciousness that continues to galvanize a growing legion of followers across the globe. Their unique sound, powerful presence and evolutionary message of self-determination have attracted the attention of many notable artists, critics and international festivals. Their music has been remixed by the legendary FreQ Nasty who included his mix of "Snared" on the recent FabricLive 42 compilation and, by rising star Bassnectar, whose mix of "Arrival" was released by the seminal San Francisco electronic label, OM Records. 2009 is poised to be a landmark year for Heavyweight Dub Champion with the global release of their new album Rise of the Champion Nation and their continued success on the international touring circuit.

Heavyweight Dub Champion - Rise of the Champion Nation

Rise of the Champion Nation is the highly anticipated, genre-bending new album from Heavyweight Dub Champion. Produced by Resurrector and Patch and recorded over the span of five years on multiple continents, Rise features collaborations with some of contemporary music's most incendiary vocalists, including Killah Priest, Dr. Israel, A.P.O.S.T.L.E. and three tracks with the legendary KRS ONE. More than 25 artists contributed to the album with additional production from Totter Todd. Building on the foundations of hip hop, dub, electronic music and ancient trance ritual - Heavyweight Dub Champion is breaking new ground and blazing new paths in what they term Sonic Shamanistic Alchemy.

Picking up where their debut album Survival Guide for the End of Time and its included 60 page Last Champion Manifesto left off, Rise of the Champion Nation is a "conceptual" album that follows the inner battle of the "Warrior," from the Arrival (of the Last Champion), through Warrior Divination One, Two and Three, to his emergence as the King Of The Mountain and the journey's end with the entrance to the Promised Land. Throughout the album Emcee VILL is again beckoned by "N.A.F. Agents" while on his quest to infiltrate Champion Nation and assassinate the Last Champion. Heavyweight Dub Champion's mission is simple: "The Unconditional Liberation of the Human Race."

"An ill-bent mix of apocalyptic hip hop dubtronica." - Westword Magazine

"Some of the hottest dub hop on the planet." - Marquee Magazine

"Their genius is the great virtue of 70's dub - never overdoing it." - L.A. Weekly

Rise of the Champion Nation features contributions from KRS ONE, Killah Priest, A.P.O.S.T.L.E., Dr. Israel, Totter Todd, Stero-Lion, Elf Tranzporter, Ganga Giri, Lady K, Emcee Vill, Lady K, J Criminology, Wailer B, Lynelle Moran, Dan West, Ivan "Choi" Khatchoyan, Hector Becerra, Emcee Vill, Vida-Sunshyne and DJ Illnaughty.

Mix Engineered by Oz Fritz
Mastered by Brian "Big Bass" Gardner

INTERVIEW: PHILIPPE PETIT A Better House

"Twenty five years in the music industry is a long time, but that's exactly how long Philippe Petit, head of French imprint BiP_HOp Records, has been involved with music-related projects. Journalist, record label owner, musician, it all comes under the umbrella of music activism for him. As he celebrates the first ten years of BiP_HOp and his twenty five years of musical activism, Philippe Petit talks to us about the political aspect of his work, how meeting with some of the biggest alternative acts of the early nineties shaped up his vision of what music should be,  giving his artists complete freedom while being available for guidance and help,  and sexual piercings."

Welcome to the March Newsletter, so much going on right now.
We had the pleasure of The Master Musicians of Jajouka here in the States for a tour, while on tour they were able to stay with me for 10 days (daze) filled with jammin, food, laughs and well, more jammin!
They did 4 shows at Yoshi's and an instore at Amoeba which I had the pleasure of joining them for the final track.

Back at the house we did tons of recording and had  David J from Bauhaus/Love & Rockets joining in on some great Bass Lines.
I also was able to get David to lay down some bass lines on a track I am working on with U Roy to, so I can't wait to mix down both tracks.

After the guys left a last min job came in for VH1, which I was happy to do.

Next week, I will be going back to New York, No gigs, this time I will be going back in the studio with Michael Stipe, film director Tom Gilroy and Hahn Rowe (Hugo Largo/Glenn Branca)
it will be for a tribute album that will also feature Thom Yorke, Dinosaur Jr, The Decemberists, Frank Black, David Thomas (Pere Ubu), Syd Straw, Clap your Hands Say Yeah, Joseph Arthur, more info to come!

After I get back then I will be going into Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto) studio to do a remix for Laya Project (http://www.layaproject.com) a great double cd and dvd dedicated to the 2004 Asian tsunami victims.

No doubt Bley has learned a thing or two from her dad, free jazz piano legend Paul Bley, but she's clearly employing her skills in service of the almighty Pop Song, which is an art form few folks even bother to attempt anymore."

Lindsey Brier reviewed in Jazz Weekly!

Lindsey Brier, on his debut release, shows that he's a throwback to the 70s-a singer/songwriter/pianist who has something to say. Sort of a Jimmy Buffett type set on the jazz scene, his beachcomber voice is backed by a 40 piece orchestra on this set of originals that covers topics ranging from family life ("No Time Better") to confronting one's personal demons ("Cold In June") and alienation ("Dreamland"), as well as the general odes to love ("Life Came Pouring In"). His warm and friendly tone has a James Taylor mellowness to it, and he uses it well. Extra points for avoiding the Great American Songbook, and using the classic singers format with his own material. Let's keep an eye on this guy. - George Harris
