New Release: MediSun – Babylon Bomb

From the Mafia & Fluxy camp comes a brand new 7″ vinyl, and if you know their track record, you already know this one is built on serious foundation.

The A-side, Babylon Bomb, has MediSun gliding across the riddim with ease. His delivery is relaxed but focused. Just a voice locked into the groove the way roots reggae should feel. On the flip, you get Babylon Dub from The Pharmacist, stripping things down and letting the track breathe in true dub fashion.

There’s plenty of good musicianship to hear. Mafia on bass and keys, Fluxy on drums. Guitar duties come from Stephen “Marley” Wright, while the brass section is handled by sax player Megumi Mesaku and trombonist Henry “Buttons” Tenyue. All bringing that rich, live feel that digital-era productions often miss.

And then there’s that killer bassline. Leroy Mafia delivers one of those lines that thumps without overplaying. It’s deep, steady, and impossible to ignore. Exactly what you want when the riddim is carrying a message tune like this. The riddim itself was built at Iguana Studios in Brixton, London, while MediSun voiced it in Jamaica.

This is one of those releases that reminds us how reggae works best: real players, real studio energy, and a riddim you feel in your chest before anything else. Proper sound system material.
