DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW
WWW, February 2008 - The first part of yet another great Podcast by the French based Steppin' Youth Sound System starts with a digital variation on a theme: introducing the "Digital Wheel"...
A significant number of people would speak about 1970's Rockers and even about 1980's Rub a Dub (early dancehall) and call it "Roots". Let's call them preterists: people with a rather unhealthy love for the past.
Yes, unfortunately, many people think, that "Roots Reggae" refers to music of the past. And by thinking that, they would indirectly proclaim Reggae Music to be dead.
Steppin' Youth is here to proof them wrong with an excellent two-part Podcast simply named "Digital Roots". Indeed: Roots Music has nothing to do with musicians as opposed to programmed material. Nothing to do with stuff having to be on vinyl rather than on CD.
The Roots Music in this Podcast is all created in the last 10-15 years, with each and every selection being a School Example of what Roots Reggae Music really is.
On top of that, the French based Sound System plays the tunes in Showcase Style, too: that means that each vocal comes with an (excellent) DUB Version.
