[Machine Translation] In the mid-to-late 2000s, the dancehall scene was in a period of chaos and acceleration, with Bounty Killer's Alliance at its peak and the sudden departure of its core member, Vybz Kartel. The "Gully vs. Gaza" structure that began there became a huge swell that split the reggae scene in two, and developed into the fatal confrontation of Mavado vs. Kartel. In addition, a new generation of artists specializing in melodious flows with auto-tune emerged one after another, producing numerous hit songs. Meanwhile, the Japanese reggae scene continued to expand, with reggae festivals taking place all over the country, drawing crowds that were once unthinkable. In the midst of all this, RED SPIDER began "Emergency," a one-man dance that would become the "mainstream" of their subsequent activities. They also released "Bakusan Angel," which was an unprecedentedly big hit as a sound piece, and grew to become a prominent presence in the sound scene. This time, we have reconstructed the music released from 2006 to 2008, which was such a turning point, with 50 tracks and 28 riddims, all dubplated of course. Relive the moment of a changing era.

2000年代中後期、ダンスホールシーンは混沌と加速の時代を迎えていた。Bounty Killer率いるAlliance が絶頂期を迎える一方で、その中核メンバーだったVybz Kartelが突如脱退。そこから始まった"Gully vs Gaza"構造は、レゲエシーンを二分する巨大なうねりとなり、Mavado vs Kartelという宿命の対立へと発展していく。また、オートチューンを用いたメロディアスなフロウを得意とする新世代アーティストが次々と登場し、数々のヒットソングが生まれる。一方で日本のレゲエシーンも拡大を続け、全国でレゲエフェスが開催され、かつては考えられなかったような集客を記録していく。そんな中、RED SPIDERはその後の自らの活動の"本流"となっていくワンマンダンス「緊急事態」を開始。またサウンドの作品として異例の大ヒットを成し遂げた「爆走エンジェル」を発表しサウンドシーンの中で突き抜けた存在へと成長を遂げる。今回の作品はそんな転換期となった2006年～2008年にリリースされた楽曲、50トラック・28リディムをもちろん全曲ダブプレートで再構築。時代が変わる瞬間を追体験せよ。
