About Iration Mixed By The Scientist
Iration began in Isla Vista , an unincorporated community connected to UC Santa Barbara , playing reggae covers in college towns such as Cal Poly SLO , Chico State , and UC Davis . They recorded an EP , New Roots , in 2006, and built a reputation for their live performance, according to the Santa Barbara Independent : "There's something to be said for any band that can capture the undivided attention of a crowd full of drunken Isla Vistans, especially when there are kegs to be tapped and cops to avoid. But roots reggae rockers Iration manage to 'do it' on a regular basis." [3]
In 2007, they recorded and released their first full-length album, No Time for Rest , which topped the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, [4] and a single, "Cookie Jar", reached number one in Hawaii on 93.9 DaBeat and was featured on Fuel TV ’s Triple Crown of Surfing recap.[ citation needed ] In 2008, Iration embarked on their first national tour, opening for Pepper .
On October 3, 2008, Iration released their second EP, Sample This , which debuted as the No. 3 top-selling reggae album world-wide on iTunes.[ citation needed ] They released their second album, Time Bomb , in March 2010, which also topped the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart and sold over 36,000 copies. [4]
In the week of February 19, 2011, Iration's third EP, Fresh Grounds, hit No. 147 on the "Billboard" magazine's Albums list. [5] They were featured as No. 1 on the magazine's Heatseekers albums list for the week of February 19, 2011 [6]
In early 2013, after extensive U.S. touring Iration announced they had finished recording a new full length album titled Automatic The album was released in July 2013, sold more than 8,000 copies in its first week of release, and topped the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart. [4] Cage The Elephant guitarist Lincoln Parish is featured on numerous songs, as well as helping produce the upcoming album.
On April 5, 2013, Iration announced that vocalist Kai Rediske had quit the band, leaving Micah Pueschel as the only vocalist/guitarist left in the group. While Iration's official announcement of this via their own website stated Kai left to "pursue other interests", many fans have speculated that the departure was the result of tension within the group due to having two lead vocalists. People that have knowledge of the group dynamic have also stated that Kai's upcoming marriage, and unwillingness to be a part of extensive future touring as a result also played a factor. On April 8, 2013, ThePier.org reported Iration has maintained that the upcoming Automatic album and all future shows would not be affected by Kai's departure.
The band's fourth album, Hotting Up , just as the first three had, topped the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. [7]
On March 09, 2020, the band announced their seventh studio album, titled Coastin' , alongside a promotional tour in the "Coastin' Summer Tour," set to feature roots reggae artist Tribal Seeds [8] . Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, however, they were forced to postpone the tour.

About This Release:
'Lazy Man / Stand Firm' Adam Prescott | Charlie P | Iration Steppas | Tradesman OCTOBER 2013 | REGGAE ROAST RECORDS Vinyl & Digital Download
Now on the seventeenth release of forward thinking UK Reggae & Dub music, Reggae Roast are going from strength to strength with many underground hits under their belt. This release definitely follows suit, having already done the rounds on dubplate for many months and set alight dances all over the world. They've signed up one of the top up and coming UK producers, Adam Prescott, and one of the top mic men on the scene, Charlie P. On remix duty they've drawn for the vanguard of dub, Iration Steppas, and digikal stalwart, Tradesman.
With this double A-side release Reggae Roast have lined up two heavy hitting bubblers built to test any soundsystem. 'Lazy Man' is a contemporary steppas reimagining of the stone cold classic 'My Conversation' by the late, great Slim Smith which is accentuated by Charlie P's take on the advantages of being Lazy in modern day Britain. 'Stand Firm' on the flipside is a slice of ruff & tuff Rootstep with conscious lyrics from Charlie P alongside weighty bass assault and a hard rhythm section from Adam Prescott it's a stark contrast to 'Lazy Man'. Straight outta Nottingham, Adam Prescott has been mashing up dances for many years now combining a crucial selection of dubplates and his own varied productions, which are always steeped in Roots music and Soundsystem culture. Having remixed some of the biggest names in Reggae & Dub such as Mungo's Hi-Fi, Iration Steppas, Part2Style, Alpha Steppa, Radikal Guru, Vibration Lab and many, many more over the course of his career he has been finally let loose on a Reggae Roast extended player. Charlie P hardly needs any introduction, however if you have been living under a rock for the past few years he has worked with pretty much everyone worth their salt within the modern day Dub circuit, such as Mungo's Hi-Fi, Dubateers, Solo Banton, Part2Style to name but a few. Constantly touring the world and smashing Dancehalls on a regular basis Charlie shows no sign of slowing down, add to that he has just finished his second LP produced by none other than Scotland's finest, Mungo's Hi-Fi In the Soundsystem game for over 20 years Mark Millington, one half of Iration Steppas (with Dennis Rootical), has been instrumental in the massive resurgence of Dub music over the past few years. Having set up the legendary Subdub sessions (alongside Outlook Festival's Simon Scott) to showcase the mighty Iration Steppas Soundsystem, Mark is one of the most in-demand selectors on the scene. As a supporter of Adam's work Mark has been playing his 'Year 3000 Dub' of 'Lazy Man' at nuff sessions across the world to sell out audiences. With another busy year planned hot off the back of their new LP 'Iration Steppas Meets Tena Stelin in the Dub Arena' Mark and the rest of the crew deserve their place at the top of the Soundsystem league. Hailing from Leeds, Tradesman has been exposed to a hot bed of musical activity, more importantly Soundsystem culture, for a number of years. He is a resident at one of Subdub's more underground offshoots, Dancehall Science, and regularly supports some of the most exciting artists in Dub music today playing sets where the majority of the tunes are his own productions. This has, in turn, led to Scotch Bonnet (Mungo's Hi-Fi imprint) snapping up his debut release with Parly B, 'Inna Competition' which gained support from some of the scene's top players and took Tradesman's ruffneck digital sound international. Reggae Roast is building a formidable catalogue featuring some of the most exciting artists in the UK and beyond. Key players in the resurgence of the UK Roots scene over the past 5 years, they are a leading light in the new generation of dub music. Setting them apart from the crowd is their ruff n tuff remixes giving the label a unique cross over appeal. Look out for plenty more releases in the coming months from the likes of Dubmatix, Vibration Lab, Ed West, Parly B and many more.
