ONLINE DUB ARTISTS (4)

Dubroom Online - April 5 2009


"ONLINE DUB ARTISTS (4)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, April 5 2009 - A few months after I put a Real Audio file on the Dubroom, back in 1997, I was introduced to the MP3 phenomena. It was in a discussion on Usenet, a part of Internet that is forgotten by most.

You can imagine the nature of the discussion. People were predicting the end of the music industry, which obviously drew my attention.

A little while later, I discovered a small website called "MP3.com". It had the possibility for artists, to upload their music in MP3 format so that others could download it.

I was not the first Reggae Artist on MP3.com, but I think I could very well have been the first DUB producer over there. In any way, I was among the first and this enabled me to observe the rise of the Online Artist phenomenon, a phenomenon that has taken a strong position in Cyberspace.

One Love, Give Thanks,

TRACK 5: DELUSIONS

A great introduction roll, some pretty touching horn themes, and some excellent filtering of the bass along with a lot of strategically placed echo's and other effects symbolize the cool runnings of a Truth Lover who knows how to recognize the trickster one more time.

HATMAN - TONKA DUB

After the introduction roll and a couple of synthesizers, the echo's start coming, building up tension: the building continues when the drums drop in and out, in what is a real piece of mixing art.
