Kalbata \\ (Soul Jazz Records, Greenmoney, Tel- Aviv)
Kalbata, real name Ariel Tagar, is a bass music pioneer from Tel Aviv. Regardless of genre, his distinct musical approach comes through in everything he does – a deep affection for the lowest of frequencies and a collection of vintage effects and instruments which guarantee his razor sharp beats will always have a warm analog feel, floating in a pool of endless ripples and echoes. The kalbata_by_emmasame qualities come forth in Kalbata’s precise and intense DJ sets, which can cover anything from 2-step to techno & dub.

Signed to legendary Soul Jazz Records, Kalbata collaborated with MC’s Warrior Queen, Clapper Priest and Jamaican legends Jah Thomas and Little John for his various 12″s on the label.
Kalbata has many releases to his name on labels such as Greenmoney, Brownswood, Double Science, Greensleeves, Scotch Bonnet, Botanika and Yellow Machines as well as a string of big remixes for artists such as Spank Rock, Roll Deep, The Count & Sinden, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Sunship & Jahcoozi. In 2009 Kalbata was the man behind the Dubstep anthem ‘Ninja We Ninja’ which was later featured on the UK Feature film ‘Shank’ (2010).
Kalbata is label owner of reggae reissue labels Spring Hill, releasing tough and obscure vintage reggae. He is also runsFortuna Records reissuing rare psychedelic Middle Eastern music.
