Sounds very nice, especially the riddim guitar. How did you recreate the 1970's sound for it so well?

I never knew there was a Israeli reggae scene. Impressive

Thanks,
First we're really love the Jamaican sound of the 70's and early 80's.
The old school Jamaican recordings made a big influence on us.
We're creating our original music and trying to make it sounds the way we like.
Therefor we've built our own studio and we working with analog tape recorder, analog mixing board, and spring reverb unit.
When we're mixing our music we're doing a lot of EQing manipulations on each track in purpose to make each instrument to sounds right.
We've also doing many sound testing with different mics and micing for each instrument.
In our work process we're learning every day new ways to make our music sound the way we love.

Great review on reggae-vibes.com

In 2012 the Israeli band Zvuloon Dub System put out their surprisingly good and mature sounding debut album "Freedom Time". This collection of tunes featured quite a few highlights including "Going To Zionand a collaboration with Ranking Joe entitled "Nah Give Up"Two wicked tunes underpinned by the same riddim, reminiscent of the kinda riddims that were produced in the studios of Kingston during the heydays of roots reggae in the 1970s.

Now these two album tracks re-appear on a 12" vinyl single along with a brand new Cornell Campbell song, Weed Out, and its dub version. The expressive falsetto of veteran singer Cornell Campbell, a major singing star in the mid-1970s, is complemented by a riddim that incorporates an awesome bassline and stirring horns. Cornell Campbell, who is in real good shape, delivers a reality tune that deals with today's economical crisis. Real big tune. It's followed by its dub version, which is on par with the vocal track.
Hopefully you haven't get rid of your turntable, because this release simply deserves to be part of any roots collection.
