“Blessed with a devotion to dub and roots culture and politicised by the inequalities that haunt a world of plenty, Red Star Martyrs have arrived as the latest incarnation of musician and producer Stanley Wood. As a member of cult Birmingham reggae outfit Route 81, Stanley learnt his trade as a guitarist and gigging musician before becoming part of guerrilla graffiti specialists and urban raconteurs Echo Base. Here he encountered for the first time the mystical world of the recording studio and within it, the wonders of the Roland Space Echo – a love affair was born.
The romance bloomed with the arrival of affordable technology, enabling those that dared to dream the chance to create their own Channel One studio. The logical outcome for Stanley was Shotgun Rockers. From producing original dubs for the Dub Nation sound system, Shotgun Rockers became recording artists for Zip Dog, Nubian and Tanty records at the moment when a new breed of dub was being formed, introducing the energy of European dance music to inspiration from the legends of the Jamaican dub.
Fast forward to the now and Red Star Martyrs exist as an open collective where roots and dub artists from all over the world are invited to contribute and collaborate, bringing a message of love, unity and political consciousness. Oh yeah, and to have fun too, because roots dub music is what makes us all smile, right?
Their first EP includes two tracks, ‘Insurrection’ & ‘Independence’, accompanied by the appropriate dubs for your personal recreation. ‘Insurrection’ is a heavy stepper tune, followed by two exclusive mixes in one drop and breakbeat style. First appearance of Mrs Boo La La aka Bec Crispin on ‘Independence’ spreading the rootical vibrations all the way.”

“Over the past couple years, C-Doc has brought with him an incredible group of releases that he’s been involved with. Mported Flows’ new album is no exception. Originally set for release back in 2007, for whatever reason it never officially saw the light of day. It’s a shame, too, because it deserves an audience.
It’s truly a pleasure for me to finally be the one who brings you Three Pronged Fork. Unlike what mainstream rap fans have come to expect, Mported Flows is an MC with plenty to say. Whether it’s about the state of Hip-Hop in ‘Gangstas, Guns, Liquor’ and ‘Mic Drones’, providing advice in ‘Advice’, speaking about the love for his son in ‘Sonny Morning’ or getting deeply introspective on ‘Last Track’, there’s no question about whether his lyrics spring from his soul or not. Add to that the solid production throughout and you’ve got a must hear album.
Hip-Hop never went away… I know that… but still… Hip-Hop IS back. Bump this.
Thanks to Mported, C-Doc and everyone else involved in the making of this album. Incredible work.
Of course, thanks again to you for downloading and listening. I hope we continue to deliver the music you love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it! We don’t stop.”
