Henry & Louis ‎– Rudiments

Jack Lundie & Andy Scholes

The Two Kings label was originally conceived in 1990 by Jack Lundie & Andy Scholes to publish their own production work under the name of Henry & Louis. The first Two Kings release was How Can A Man mixed at the legendary Smith And Mighty’s studio, Ashley Rd, St Paul’s, Bristol , vocals by Andy Scholes and the B side , Love And Understanding, which in 1996, was re-vocaled by Johnny Clark on the lp » Time Will Tell» Too Late featuring Prince Green, an artist that they have always collaborated with, although his whereabouts in Jamaica are currently not exactly known.

The label has always put reggae production at its heart, though the sound is not a conventional dub sound. Our approach has been to express a Roots & Culture philosophy first and foremost and sometimes that sounds very much aligned with the UK Roots scene, but other tracks pull in wider influences from Dubstep to Trip-Hop. The feeling comes first and the sound follows – that’s how we roll. The first 2 Kings studio (that wasn’t also a bedroom) was based at the Vision Factory on Zetland Road in Bristol.
