CHANNEL 1 - no introduction needed. With reverence, we present the first batch in a series of mainly never-before-reissued selections from the Channel 1 catalog, to be distributed by DKR. Round one: Stephanie Samuels 'Africa We Want to Go', beautiful one-away deep roots with birdsong, truly mystical tune. Carlton Livingston 'Tale of Two Cities', not only his first released tune, but one of his best. A tough riddim by the Revolutionaries, with wicked horns. Midnight Riders 'Posse Form a Line', a special request to the Channel 1 crew of the day. This is one of the best tunes from the Riders, who are one our all-time personal favorite artists, so this one is a special joy for us to bring out. A simply amazing late era Channel 1 riddim, proving that Channel ruled from beginning to end.

FOR WHOLESALE ORDERING INFORMATION, please email digikillerrecords at gmail dot com. the minimum for a wholesale order is 15 total pieces, any combination of titles. for retail/individual sales, please visit any of the online shops linked on this page, who should be stocking these titles shortly.

AKSUMITES

We just wanted to share these rare photos of the Aksumites from the late 1970's/early 1980's. The first photo was used as the picture cover for their second 12" single, "Afrika Fede Afrikan." Second, check out the Aksumites on this flyer for a 1979 stage show in Connecticut...what a lineup!





thanks to sax man Jerry Johnson for the flyer!

Look out for more Aksumites music available thru DKR in the future! For now, their "Ark of the Covenant/Covenant Rock" 12" is still available - click here for more info.
