    Kalbata & Mixmonster went into their home studio ago in Tel Aviv, Israel with the purpose of recording a 100% analogue dub album in the spirit of the late King Tubby and the early dancehall era of the late 70's and early 80's. A 16-track tape machine and an old analogue mixing desk were their main instruments, with musicians playing live all throughout the album.

    A year after recording the instrumental backing tracks, they travelled to Kingston, Jamaica and started tracking down their favourite singers and deejays from days gone by.

    The highlights include the beautiful & mellow 'Prisoner In Love' ft Little John, though the utterly original, drum driven title track 'Congo Beat The Drum' on which Major Mackerel displays his amazing vocal talents as the earth shattering rhythm shakes the floor. JA legends Trinity & Jah Thomas join forces over a dub style rhythm on Trouble In The Dance, as reverberating rimshots and analogue synths bubble and squeal on this dark dance floor destroyer. Echo Minott worked with luminary King Jammy at the tender age of just 17, and his dreader than dread vocal performance on 'Out A Road', and the fully analogue production of this album really rings true on this track. The final cut features multi talented genius Kutiman on the CRB organ - adding his keyboard skills to an instrumental version of 'Prisoner In Love'.
