Real People, Real Reggae (2) - Webmaster Column



Dubroom Online - Edition November 16, 2007


"REAL PEOPLE, REAL REGGAE (2)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 16 2007 - You can study and analyze for example the Dubroom's Midi Files, put it in a test tube so to speak in order to get the right formula to play a Reggae Riddim.

But that is not all you need, in order to play Reggae Music. There is an element that is necessary, that element you could call: authenticity.

Real people, in the sense that they do not pretend to be something they are not, will find that if they are able to play Reggae, they will feel right at home because if there is one thing that you need in order to play Reggae, it is...

A Heart!

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

STEPPIN' YOUTH - GHETTO CORNER
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, November 2007 - Ghetto Corner starts with a special A' Capella session by none other than Sugar Minott, introducing the French-based Steppin' Youth Sound System. A sign of the quality that is about to follow? You bet!

When they started their Sound back in 1994, the Steppin' Youth were at the beginning of some very interesting years to follow. Not only did they work together with some crucial vocalists, they would also develop their mixing skills.

One result can be heard while enjoying "Ghetto Corner", the first episode of some truly crucial mixes by the French based collective. The tracks follow each other seamlessly, the mix is filled with strategically placed effects and original jingles.

The selection? Simply crucial! Designed to make you move and groove, the riddims are carefully selected and taken out of various times and places.

Enjoy to the fullness!

Wailing Souls Live At Jay Leno Show - Shark Attack (Video Review)

WAILING SOULS LIVE AT THE JAY LENO SHOW - SHARK ATTACK
Dubroom (DUB) Reggae Video Review




WWW, November 2007 - They were said to be Bob Marley's favorite vocal harmony group. Here's the Wailing Souls with a full blown band for the American "Jay Leno Show".

One bad thing about this video: the sound isn't what you would love it to be even though it gets better along the way.

Having said that...

The performance is simply massive and even though the tune is kind of old, the music is made contemporary by an unknown Dancehall DJ and the way the band plays as well as the lyrics.

Solid, solid, solid. Yes I.
