Dubroom Online - February 24 2009


"21th CENTURY DUB" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 24 2009 - Contemporary, digital (Dance) music would not have been what it is, if it were not for DUB music.

Reggae DUB Music, to be exact.

For during the journey into the digital technologies that enable the contemporary producer to do just about everything (s)he wants, there are echo's everywhere from the 1970's when King Tubby and his protégées started it all.

The MP3 that is reviewed for today's edition of Dubroom Online is a perfect example of how the Roots meet the Fruits. An extremely danceable tune that will be ignored by the puritan Reggae fan on one hand, but will also attract the fan of contemporary music into the realm of DUB and subsequently Reggae Music.

One Love, Give Thanks,

PAPA SAN - DANCEHALL GOOD TO WE
DUBROOM (DUB) REGGAE VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, February 2009 -In this extremely danceable 1980's tune, we can hear how Jamaican Dancehall was fusing with American Hip Hop.

It was a time, wherein digital technology had entered the Jamaican studio's. A time, wherein Rub a Dub style had become Ragga had become Dancehall. An era that was introduced to Reagan's "War on Drugs" with the result that Jamaica was flooded with cokane and violence on an unprecedented level.

It was a time, wherein singer Papa San had not yet joined to so-called "Gospel Reggae Industry" and was making a name for himself in the then relatively new Dancehall/Rap market.

Dancehall Good To We is a true classic from that time and will be remembered by many.
