Dubroom Online - Edition September 20, 2007



Dubroom Online - Edition September 20, 2007


WWW, September 20 2007 - Just 16 seconds, that's all.

The complete length of a video containing King Tubby, the originator of DUB.

The kind of material you put online just because of the historical value. The Godfather of DUB unfortunately did not live to see the fruits of his work as DUB technology is integrated in the studio's of some of the world's most famous electronic producers.

The kind of video you put on top of the new items of Dubroom Online's current edition.

Give Thanks, One Love,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)

ITEMS FOR THIS EDITION:


Video: King Tubby the Originator of DUB!
MP3 Podcast: Mighty Diamonds - Ghetto Living Style
Video: : Sly and Robbie with Bitty Mac Clean Live in Paris 2007
Dubroom Online: Your Daily Dose of (DUB) Reggae and Consciousness (Dubroom In-Site 7)

Video: King Tubby the Originator of DUB!

KING TUBBY THE DUB ORIGINATOR
Dubroom (DUB) Reggae Video Review




WWW, September 2007 - He is the godfather of DUB, we all heard his music and that which was inspired by him. Not many of us have seen him on video, but that is about to change...

King Tubby is widely accredited to be the Godfather of DUB. He was killed just after launching his first full-blown studio. Before that, he had been working in his Dub/Vocal Studio with the multi-tracks of others.

Everyone of any significance has worked with King Tubby during his lifetime. Together with "Daddy" U Roy, the Godfather of Toasting ("Reggae Rap"), he stood at the foundation of what is now common in popular music: heavy drum and bass lines, effects, and rhythmic chanting or "rap".

However, all these styles like Rap and Hip Hop and Contemporary Electronic Dance Music could not be there, or would at least sound quite different, without the indirect influence of King Tubby.

Unfortunately only for 16 seconds, but here he is: KING TUBBY (With the sounds of U Roy in the back)!

MP3 Podcast: Mighty Diamonds - Ghetto Living Style

MIGHTY DIAMONDS - GHETTO LIVING STYLE
RUB A DUB PODCAST #6




WWW, September 2007 - In 13 tracks, we are introduced to one of Reggae Music's finest vocal harmony groups.

Donald 'Tabby' Shaw, Fitzroy 'Bunny' Shaw and Lloyd 'Judge' Ferguson: meet the Might Diamonds. Together with the Gladiators, they've made their particular style of the Vocal Harmony Group popular because of their releases on Virgin's Front Line Label back in the 1970's.

In perfect harmony, they rode a number of riddims by Sly and Robbie's Revolutionaries, the studio band for Channel One in the days that Rockers Music was hot.

In this podcast, we're being introduced to the Mighty Diamonds throughout their carrier. Classics like "I Need A Roof" and "Poor Markus" are among the Mighty Diamonds' top tunes, but as the mix shows they are able to ride on a variety of riddims. The last tune, a remix from I need a Roof, even is in some kind of Trip-Hop style!

Video: : Sly and Robbie with Bitty Mac Clean Live in Paris 2007

SLY & ROBBIE WITH BITTY MC LEAN - LIVE PARIS 2007
Dubroom (DUB) Reggae Video Review




WWW, September 2007 - In his first concert with the Rhythm Twins, Bitty Mc Clean shows his skills as a vocalist and performer at a Paris based festival in 2007.

Unfortunately, the quality of the sound doesn't match the quality of the sights in this video. But that is about the only negative thing you can think of.

the video starts off with Bitty Mc Clean singing and chanting, after which the rhythm twins play together for a while. Then Bitty walks over to Robbie Shakespeare, inviting him for a vocal duet.

The result?

Here it is!

Dubroom Online: Your Daily Dose of (DUB) Reggae and Consciousness (Dubroom In-Site 7)

DUBROOM ONLINE: A DAILY DOSE OF (DUB) REGGAE AND CONSCIOUSNESS
DUBROOM IN-SITE #7




WWW, September 2007 - Gradually, the Dubroom is moving into a next format that will build further on the foundation laid 10 years ago. While nothing is removed, a lot will be added and interaction is only a small part of it.

The Dubroom independently promotes (DUB) Reggae and Consciousness online since 1997. We do so by Reviewing, Releasing and Researching.

Thousands of people visit the site every day to satisfy their hunger for Word, Sound and Power and because everything has it's own category, it's easy to stay away from material that might not have your interest.

Almost every day, new reviews are written and added to the site. Research material and original articles about conscious topics are published on a regular basis as well.

Most of the new additions to the site are mentioned on the Dubroom Front Page, together with a short column by the Dubroom Webmaster. That column can be just about everything: from comments on the new contents of the day to a meditation or just a little word.

The new contents can range from Reviews, Releases and Research material. Every day we have at least one review of a musical work, and more often than not the music can be enjoyed free of charge.

The columns and new items come under the title "Dubroom Online".

You can compare Dubroom Online with a magazine or a daily newspaper, but it's not really the same. This is because we deal with (DUB) Reggae and Consciousness rather than with the latest gossip and propaganda. The format, however, is designed to help you find what you want fast without being bothered by those topics you are not interested in.

You can find a new edition (almost) every day, and not just on the Dubroom Frontpage. There's a couple of messageboards and weblogs where you can find it too, but dubroom.blogspot.com is by far the most interesting place to visit as you can find the columns and the full Reviews and Articles on one page every day.

You can subscribe to Dubroom Online with your browser or RSS reader, or even have the new editions sent to your email address without having to register at the Dubroom Messageboards.

Dubroom Online is also interactive. You can place comments to the new Reviews, Releases and Research material as well as the daily column of the Dubroom Webmaster.

You do not have to register yourself in order to place a comment, but it has to be approved. The prevention measure is to stop spammers and stalkers from mashing up the site.
