Their releases offer listeners an opportunity to discover captivating rhythms and melodies that transcend borders and celebrate the power of music as a universal language.

"It can't be much of a surprise that Glitterbeat would eventually assemble a collection of dubs and versions of songs by our artists. Our very first release in the spring of 2013 was a 500-piece limited edition 12" where two tracks from the Malian Afro-rock newcomer Ben Zabo were given an inspired dub treatment by legendary Berlin producer Mark Ernestus (Rhythm and Sound, Jeri Jeri). Those two tracks are included here as well as eight other reinterpretations from our growing catalog. Having had the privilege of working with each of the Malian artists remixed for this album (Tamikrest, Ben Zabo, Samba Toure, Aminata Wassidje Traore and Lobi Traore) we can safely say that this project will not seem as strange to them as one might assume. In contemporary Malian music, reggae plays a fundamental role and nearly every electric based band wehave encountered in Bamako and beyond incorporates at least some reggae elements into their sound. - Chris Eckman and Peter Weber: Glitterbeat Records.
