Worship Recordings has always been about representing the city that bred us. So much influential music has been created here in Philadelphia in the last 100 years, including the roots of disco that Gamble & Huff created through their The Sound Of Philadelphia۪ style, which was the predecessor to the house music we love. We are very proud of our city and the artists that it continues to produce. Keeping the musical ecosystem moving forward by supporting artist through our events is just one part of our duty. Another is to use our Worship Recordings label, this platform we created over 20 years ago to promote and share Philadelphia۪s thriving artist community to the rest of the world. We hope you enjoy our little contribution to this musical mecca of a city called Philadelphia.

Worship Wednesday is here and we celebrate by highlighting Army Of One۪s Revelation Dub E.P. This would mark the 20th release from the label, which saw distribution approximately August of 2004. Army of One aka Ethan Calman at the time of the release was doing well with productions on his own label Stupendous and surely made his mark with his EP on Worship Recordings. The title track "Revelation dub" is aimed directly at the dance floor with detrimental effects. The track is a deep tribal, dub wise burner that without a doubt mesmerized its listeners. Solomonic Sound was gracious enough to add a remix to this EP giving the track more depth and spaced out dimensions. Please enjoy the original track below!

Huge Thank You to A.D Amorosi of the Daily News for blessing up Solomonic Sound in his wonderful piece about Dub music. The article was featured in the Philadelphia Inquire along with a post on Philly.com. You can view the article Here
Worship Wednesday is back and we celebrate with one of the most pivotal releases from the label. Not to say that every release isn۪t special, but Solomonic Sound۪s Beating Heart EP is what shaped the early sound of Worship Recordings. Solomonic Sound is label head Rob Paine and long time friend Zack Eberz, together they created the Beating Heart EP back in January of 2000. With Reggae being at the heart of both producers creatively, it was a no brainer for them to create a track with this sort of influence.
Both gentlemen are well versed in the culture of Reggae and it۪s music, which certainly shines through in the title track of the EP. Rob has explained to us that this production was extra important because it was created at the label۪s first studio on Christian street in South Philadelphia. Though a great distance separated Rob and Zack, their love for the music allowed them to consistently link to create this Dub House masterpiece. Beating Heart thumps away with a circadian rhythm of dub vocal samples and Reggae elements, appearing as if they will beat on forever.
Now based out of Hawaii, you can catch Eberz pushing that classic Solomonic Sound in dancehalls around the island. Rob on the other hand is holding down Solomonic in Philadelphia with shows every last Sunday of the summer at South Bowl located on 19 E Oregon Ave. Also Rob is holding a weekly vibe every Thursday at Saint Lazarus Bar on 102 W Girard. Both events boast the best of Reggae with fine drink specials. Come celebrate with us as Worship Recordings carries on the legacy of Dub inspired music.

Through the years many prolific artists have passed through the doors of Worship Recordings and Hakan Lidbo is without a doubt one of them. For this Worship Wednesday we exam Lidbo۪s track Trinity and it۪s Solomonic re-blessing. The track was apart of the Natty Roots EP (Wor.09) and was released back in 2000. Hailing from Sweden, Hakan Lidbo has released 100s of records on a variety of labels spread across the electronic landscape. The Swede۪s true talent lies in his versatility as a producerwith many styles developed over the years.
These multiple styles articulate Lidbo۪s passion for music production as he has yielded deep moody house with SCC Move (Underground House Foundation) all the way to the minimalism of Yellow Fingers which was released on Steve Bug۪s Poker Flat Recordings. You can also find Hakan۪s music on labels such as Tommy Boy, Moody Recordings, Skam, Ministry of Sound, and Moon Harbour. His acidic Saxophone laden track, Overnight, would find itself on Moon Harbour۪s 10 year anniversary compilation in 2010. Outside of remixing House music artists, Hankan has remixed well known rock stars Depeche Mode on their track Peace back in 2009.
With an assortment of genres on his production repertoire it۪s not a surprise that Hakan۪s approach to reggae was executed so elegantly on his release for Worship. The track fires off with a reverb۪ed high hat giving way to many sounds scattered nicely across an island riddim. Solomonic Sound, comprised of Worship Recordings label boss Rob Paine and his roots counterpart Zack Eberz, two true connoisseurs of roots and culture music, were able to bless up the track with a remix in their signature style. The true beauty behind the Solomonic boys is their ability to splice the best of house with the unadulterated rudiments of reggae. The Solomonic re-blessing is a clear picture of this truly ground breaking production style. Worship Recordings is proud to have Hakan Lidbo as part of the Worship team, and is thankful for Solomonic Sound to have had the opportunity to touchhis track.
