The More Fire label has at its heart, a philosophy of fostering the relationship between artist and producer, which is essential in making good reggae and dancehall music. It is a testament to the endurance and strength of purpose that exists in reggae in Aotearoa, with every contributing sound-system bringing energy, innovation and vision to the music and the movement.Ĭrate Killaz was compiled and mixed at More Fire Studios in Wellington, NZ by Jnr Ranks – original Dancehall Dons founder and longtime player in the NZ scene. Beginning with a dub recorded in 1995, and ending with one recorded in 2007, this release brings together key sound-systems, highlights the history and development of the music and signals the way forward for an ever-growing scene. Traditionally they have been used by sound-systems to compete against each other in sound clashes.Ĭrate Killaz reflects the diversity that exists in sound-system culture throughout New Zealand. Originally a one-off acetate version of a tune, voiced or mixed exclusively for a particular sound-system, now dubplates are usually burnt to CD or encoded as mp3, but are still exclusive voicings or mixes. In dancehall culture, Dubplates are exclusive versions of a song. Crate Killaz is the first release of its kind in Aotearoa – a collection of dubplates from New Zealand reggae crews that spans a generation of sound-system culture from the North to the South.
