Jahtari label compilation full of all-new Outsider Dubs, Dancehall bangers and lots of cosmic low end, marking twenty years of Reggae oddness from Leipzig.
Vol. 5 is the first addition to the Jahtarian Dubbers series in over ten years, starting off with ‘The Loop Jerk’ by DJ and activist Dave Watts aka KingLMan (who sadly passed away in 2024).
Kiki Hitomi turns up the heat with ‘Red Mustang’, a raw but sweet PG 18-rated Japanese lofi Reggae gem, followed by ‘Casio HipHop’, an addictive synth & drum machine session by UK bedrock producer Kris Kemist (Reality Shock Records).
Singjay miracle El Fata brings the positive energy with ‘Boom Sound’, a synthie dancehall scorcher hot off the tape reels at Naram’s studio in the New Zealand bush, while Jura Soundsystem’s hypnotizing ‘On My Way (Dub)’ easily shifts gears into Sly & Robbie-mode.
Side B starts off with Pupajim’s prophetic ‘Tidal Wave’, produced by digi-reggae specialist Raggattack and coming in an epic extended Disco Dub version.
Melodica wizard Taka Noda (Mystica Tribe) and synth shaman Danny Wolfers (Legowelt) enter into deep magnetic communion with their Sacred Tascam tape deck on ‘Cabal of Puppeteers’, followed by DJ veteran Speng Bond chanting ‘Wha Mek’ over a spaced out depth charge by Jahtari co-founder Rootah.
Gameboy-whisperer DJ Scotch Egg (WaqWaq Kingdom, Seefeel) joins forces with disrupt and Dub trumpet black belt Pablo Volt (STA) for a mindbending journey going all the way from synth heavy Roots to Acid Jazz, on Namahage‘s ‘Voidout Dub’.
The voyage ends with a hazy and mystical Ambient Dub version of ‘Muuri’ by Finish singer Tiiu Helinä, with Tapes on keys – not to be missed!
All lovingly mixed by disrupt, coming with iconic artwork by Disko 69 (Doppeldenk).

Led by Disrupt, the Leipzig-based digital reggae hub “Jahtari” presents its latest release in the 2025 series—a distillation of two decades of unconventional dub exploration. Opening with a track by DJ and activist Dave Watts (KingLMan), who passed away in 2024, the album features Kiki Hitomi’s 18+ rated lo-fi reggae, Kris Kemist’s meditative synth jams, El Fata’s digital dancehall, and Pupajim’s disco dub—all of which blend digital experimentation with basslines straight from the sound system tradition. Furthermore, the album delivers exhilarating, unpredictable moments—from the tape-deck-mediated interplay between Legowelt and Taka Noda, to DJ Scotch Egg and Pablo Volt’s foray into free jazz, and singer Tiiu Helinä’s ambient dub featuring Tapes. The entire compilation is mixed by organizer Disrupt, unifying it under the Jahtari aesthetic. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
