Rhoda Dakar

Version Girl In Dub

    Following the success of her critically acclaimed 2023 album 'Version Girl', Rhoda Dakar returns with ‘Version Girl In Dub’ a deep, immersive journey into the heart of her signature interpretations, stripped down and reconstructed in classic dub style. Reworking the tracks from ‘Version Girl’, this album shifts the spotlight from the lead vocals to the intricate musical details that often sit just beneath the surface. In Rhoda’s words: “A dub mix affords an opportunity to highlight parts of a track integral to the overall sound, but which remain in the background, in deference to the lead vocal. Performances that are stellar, yet brief are here thrust into the limelight. Dub is where the mix is the performance.” Each track is deconstructed and rebuilt with hypnotic basslines, spacious echoes, and reverb-drenched instrumental flourishes, shining a new light on the musicianship that shaped 'Version Girl'. From classic ska and reggae foundations to adventurous sonic landscapes, 'Version Girl In Dub' is a masterclass in the art of the remix, staying true to the tradition of dub while bringing Rhoda’s unmistakable style to the forefront.

    Rhoda Dakar Sings The Bodysnatchers - 45 Year Edition

      It has been 45 years since the world was first introduced to all-female 2Tone trailblazers The Bodysnatchers. Despite only releasing two official 7" singles, their influence on UK culture and music continues to inspire to this day. To celebrate 45 years of The Bodysnatchers, founding member Rhoda Dakar has revisited some of their glorious tracks and recorded them with a band including Specials mates Horace Panter and Lynval Golding, festival favourites Intensified, plus members of Pama International and the Sidewalk Doctors. This 45 year edition also arrives with three extra tracks, including a re-record of ‘Let's Do Rocksteady’ featuring The Interrupters’ very own Aimee Allen. “Firstly, it’s brilliant to see this album get a proper, all-format release! And secondly, to feature one of the genre’s star vocalists of today feels like the torch is well and truly passed!”
