Encompassing celebrated artists such as George Clinton, Lee âScratchâ Perry, Alfred Pee Wee Ellis and many more, star-studded funk collective, Smudge All Stars will release their remix ep âOur Livesâ via Violent Drum Recordings on April 18, 2026.
With renowned session musician Richie Stevens at the helm, Smudge All Stars is a sprawling intelligence network reflecting Londonâs cultural melting pot â itâs ever-revolving door policy deep-rooted by some of musicâs most esteemed innovators.
The groupâs debut single, âOur Livesâ marries funk and reggaeâs vintage relationship and is a ray of sunshine reminding all to get the most out of life, even in these increasingly testing times.
Richie Stevens: âReggae has a big place in our hearts by virtue of the cultural history of the UK.
It was common for funk bands to put one, reggae-flavoured, tune on their album, so we thought we would keep up the tradition. It has come to our attention that the lyrics of reggae from the 60âs and 70âs, especially the âconsciousâ tunes, were spot on! So here is a continuation of a golden tradition.â Delivering an intricate dub, âOur Livesâ is a revivalist anthem.
Showcasing instrumentation from Dennis Bovell and pronounced vocals from the late great legendary Lee âScratchâ Perry and Leftfield/Dreadzone collaborator Earl Sixteen, the track is a resonant beckon call to the forever distinctive sound of Jamaica.
Its breezy lyrics drift through consciously delivered preaching for carefree enlightenment and stands up as a timeless restoration of the genres intrinsically good-natured temperament.
âOur Livesâ marks the first release from the self-titled Smudge All Stars debut album, which is available on vinyl.
This limited-edition remix ep comes loaded with the rootsy original mix, plus three killer reworks from Jamiroquaiâs DJ D-Zire, Richieâs dub alias Dubversive, and heavyweight dub machine scientist Fletcher Fathoms.
