MYSTERY BABYLON (67)

"MYSTERY BABYLON (67)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 20 2008 - Christopher Columbus knew what he was doing, when he "discovered America".

Sponsored by elite who knew themselves to be from the line of the ancient Phoenicians, he simply made use of what was already known.

Take the Piri Reis map, for example. This Turkish map pre-dates Columbus and is said to be a copy of even older maps. It has America on there, and even Antarctica as it is without snow.

Columbus was simply following orders and created a story that doesn't handle scrutiny too well.

For obviously, contacts between people of all continents have to go as far back as the existence of these people, otherwise we are not created out of one blood!

More Tomorrow...

Give Thanks, One Love,

MIKEY DREAD PASSED AWAY!

MIKEY DREAD PASSED AWAY
DUBROOM (DUB) REGGAE NEWS AND VIEWS



WWW, March 2008 - Last March 15 was a sad day for friends, family and fans of Michael Campbell aka Mikey "Dread At The Controls" Dread. It was on that day that the first Jamaican Reggae Radio DJ passed away...

Mikey Dread was born in 1954 on June 4 in Portland, Jamaica. At age 54, he lost a battle against brain cancer and died in Connecticut, USA.

He was the first to take Reggae Music to Jamaican Radio Station where for years he had his own "Dread At The Controls" Radio show. Just recently, that show was more or less re-launched on the Internet and has been reviewed by the Dubroom.

The many jingles produced for the Dread At The Controls show are still used by broadcasters, Podcasters and artists until this very day, including the Dubroom's own Messian Dread.

The brother also toasted and produced many tracks for his own Dread At The Controls label. Classic tunes by Mikey Dread are "Barber Saloon", "Propper Education" and "Israel Style".

It's too sad, that we have to say goodbye to the one and only Mikey Dread, knowing that there are people who use his name to make themselves some fame, and knowing that the real Mikey Dread was aware of this situation too.

It's with respect and gratefulness that we do say goodbye to the Real Mikey Dread, a talented and humble Lion who has done more for Reggae Music than most of us will ever know.

WWW, March 2008 - Vintage Roots DUB takes us on a Version Excursion extra-ordinary straight back to Jamaica during the 1970's. An all-killer-no-filler selection of stricktly DUB from a time and place wherein the technique was still young.

This impressive no-nonsense mix by Australian based DJ Delay contains a selection of killer DUBs, wherein our host gives us a taste of the works of the hottest engineers around: King Tubby, Ernest Hoo-Kim, Scientist and Prince Jammy among others.

To those of us who have been around for a while, the selection will definitely produce a confirmation of the statement that the 19 titles together form an all-killer-no-filler show. The kind of mix you put on your player to give people a crucial taste of DUB in it's youngest years: powerfulness and creativity galore!

Hard Steppers and One Drops form the overtone, while the Spring Reverbs and Tape Echo's fly around like dreadlocks on stage during a crucial Rasta Reggae concert.

Essential!
