/in

Ancient Future is the title of Protoje’s third studio album, that has the singer gracing the cover of Riddim magazine once more. On 11 Tracks the young talent fuses vintage styles with new school, as he explains in a detailled report. The No-Maddz united with veterans of the business for their debut longplayer. For the article about Sly and Robbie Presents No-Maddz I spoke to both the dub poets and drummer Sly Dunbar and got some interesting insights on the production. Eventually even TJ White, head of TJ Records, disclosed some of his anecdotes for my series on producers.
