ARKITECT (LIVE SESSION @BAT RECORDS) :
youtu.be/mn78F9TmN7w?si=tCzZBJ9iM_9JKDPC

The first time we discovered Emanuel's voice was during the making of Pinnacle sound's album Soul Medicine (BAT 007), it was in 2021. Some slaps leave a deep and indelible mark. We knew then that a new adventure was about to be born. Everything comes in time to those who wait, and what was supposed to happen happened: Emanuel contacted Bat Records for the realization of his new project. Nations Shall Know is the fruit of this meeting.

Emanuel & The Bionites are the many facets of one man. A diligent producer, it is with a selection of his best compositions that he knocks on the door of Bat Records to put his unique style on tape. The idea is clear, to produce a Showcase album: for each vocal, a dub mixed by the flagship duo Dub Shepherds.

From a children's song with soulful power in the introduction to "Arkitect", to Africa as the central theme on "Imansion", to the pure song of praise on "Jah Love", through warm riddims carrying texts with apocalyptic resonances like on the title “Nations Shall Know”, there will be something for everyone.
And in discomix, ladies and gentlemen, following Emanuel's favorite format!

Latest illustration of a rising figure of a certain Roots revival in Europe, this album will reconcile young zealous dubbers and old reggae backpackers.
