In February 2014 Med Tone Records released ‘Love Is Stronger’ a 7” single feat. the legendary Viceroys<br />
in a new original song.<br />
In April 2014 Med Tone Records released ‘Anbessa Dub’, an Ethio-Reggae album featuring a fusion of<br />
Roots Reggae and Ethiopian music from the golden age of the 70’s. The project includes several artists<br />
from the ‘Beta Israel’ community (the Jewish Ethiopian community that immigrated to Israel) playing<br />
the music they grew up with, in their mother tongue. The collaboration of these artists with the members<br />
of Zvuloon Dub System creates a new style of music which is neither ‘Ethiopian music’ nor ‘Jamaican<br />
Roots Reggae’, but rather a new sonic manifestation that crosses borders and cultural boundaries.<br />
Shortly after the release of ‘Anbessa Dub’, in the summer of 2014, Zvuloon Dub System went on an<br />
international tour in the USA, Canada and Jamaica, performing in renown festivals such as the Sierra<br />
Nevada World Music Festival in California, Victoria Ska Fest in British Columbia, Canada, the African-<br />
Caribbean music festival in Chicago, and Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay, Jamaica. While visiting<br />
Jamaica, the Smilan brothers recorded some of Jamaica’s greatest voices such as the legendary U-Roy,<br />
Cornell Campbell and the late Sang Hugh, over original riddims. In the last couple of years they<br />
focused on developing their home studio into a 16 track studio with analog tape machines, spring<br />
reverbs and tape echoes that can reproduce an authentic roots reggae sound.<br />
