Listen to soundclips: Side A: Gideon Zinger - Seal Dub Side AA: Lion - Bun them out Dub Artist info: Gideon Zinger The man called Gideon Zinger is maybe better known as Errol Bellot. The name Errol Bellot first burst onto the reggae scene in 1981, after the unleashing of the classic British roots anthem 'Babylon'. Since then he has released a good number of tunes on various labels throughout the eighties, nineties and on into the new millenium. Bellot is one of the singers that comes to his right when grabbing the mic on a sound system. His great skills in fitting his tunes into any rhythm being played has led him to work with some of the greatest sound systems in UK at their time, namely Unity, Jah Tubbys and King Original. As he once stated... 'Were born and grew pon sound system'. In 2004 Meditative Sounds invited Bellot as a guest singer for their sound system, that was the starting point for the cooperation wich eventually led to the release of the tune 'Seal'. Lion Granada borned singer Lion moved to Sweden in the early 80´s. He soon got involved in the Stockholm music scene singing for different sound systems as well as forming his own bands. In 2004 he teamed up with Meditative Sounds to work as an MC for their sound. During this period he voiced some of Meditative Sounds rhythms which lead to the release of the tune 'Bun them out'. It proved to be a succes and the work carries on... Lion can still be heard and seen on Meditative Sounds dances.
