Available September 18th on Soul of the Lion Records, “We Run England” is the debut single off the More Spiritual Riddim, a forthcoming Green Lion production based around Henry ‘Junjo’ Lawes’ legendary Ganja Smuggling melody.

The Heatwave (theheatwave.co.uk) are London’s staunchest purveyors of ‘the baddest bashment from around the world. Every Sunday night at 1am.’ Led by Gabriel Heatwave, Rubi Dan, Benjamin D, Henry Heatwave and Dan Bean, everywhere they go it’s a carnival, from their weekly Rinse FM show to raves all over the world. When The Heatwave touch down it’s madness: pure hype and energy. Huge tunes and quickfire mixing, scandalous dancing and people banging on the walls for reloads.

Of special note is the artwork created by Dan Buller for “We Run England”. Buller is a founding partner of the Heavyweight Art Installation known for mixed media live performance installations including music and the visual arts. Founded in Montreal and now spread across North America, Heavyweight is known for pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. Here, Buller’s portrait pushes those royal boundaries just a tad bit further.

Green Lion’s Zeke Stern, whose previous credits include Collie Buddz’ crossover hit, “Come Down”, brings a deep knowledge and respect for the roots of reggae music developed the old fashioned way, digging for records wherever they might be found. If reggae is the base, dub, hip hop and dancehall are the branches of the More Spiritual riddim. Mr Williamz burst on the reggae scene in 2008 with his debut single “Babylon in Helicopter” (Necessary Mayhem) which reached #1 in the U.S singles charts and #2 in the German reggae charts. The same year Mr.Williamz was honored by the BBC as the UK artiste of the year 2008. His follow up single “No Cigarette” was included on The Biggest Reggae Anthems 2009 (Greensleeves).
