"DUBRIL" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, April 1 2009 - Dubril? Ah, well, it's just a wordplay on the name of this month. This month, namely, the Dubroom focuses on DUB!

First of all, we have a brand new Heartical album, of which you can download the first track today. Until April 15, we will be releasing a new track every day.

Tomorrow, we will start reviewing the French DUB compilation DUB Vibrations as well. In total, we have reviewed several free Net Albums and tracks from artists who all have DUB as their foundation.

Yes, this month will be especially interesting for the online DUB massive!

You might also like to check out my very first music video. Don't expect too much, but don't expect just another YouTube video either where the music is played along with some pictures.

One Love, Give Thanks,

HEARTICAL - DUB REMNANT

HEARTICAL - DUB REMNANT
DUBROOM MP3 RELEASE

Just a few months after the Dubroom released his heavyweight Début, Heartical is back with 15 top DUB shots, straight to Babylon Head.

His talents as a graphic artist show, and not just in the excellent Cover Art which he made single-handedly, but also in the deep, deep DUB of his second album.

Heartical is a bass player, guitar player, graphic artist and singer/songwriter. His long-time membership of the Original JAH Roots Band (founded 1987), a thing which he shares with Messian Dread, provided him with the necessary experience to develop his truly very personal style of DUB.

His originality already came to the surface in his début album "Operation Emancipation", but in Dub Remnant it even shows more. Heartical has added a deep, deep, almost industrial vibe by applying an unusual and intelligent way of drum programming as well as making an excessive use of synthesizers on top of a bass that goes deeper than the deepest ocean.

Altogether, the 15 tracks that make up this second album paint a perfect picture of a Conscious Man's experience as he is watching the coming downfall of Babylon. The only spoken words on the album, provided by Zeph Daniel, express this very same experience you find on each and every one of the tracks.

It's all about a combination of heavyweight realization of the evil that is going on, kinda scary sometimes, and a determination to leave outa Babylon and move forward to Mount Zion. The remnant might be a small group, the DUB Remnant might be an even smaller group, but the Drum and Bass will guide you safe through all the trials and tribulations.

MESSIAN DREAD - MARANATHA DISCOMIX (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
DUBROOM VIDEO RELEASE

WWW, March 2009 - It's not just the tune with some pictures, it's Messian Dread's very first Music Video, produced in the Dubroom Studio ofcourse.

"Maranatha" is a cry to the Lord God JAH: "Please Come Again"! In the video, we're taken throughout the last 500 years of history wherein Babylon has been brutalizing the people in so many ways. We see video recordings from police brutality and army soldiers in Iraq, but we also see signs of the Hope and it's not Obama, who is also shortly featured: we see Ethiopia, the Lion of Judah, and Yesus Kristos!

The track is almost 4 minutes long, where the second part is in DUB Style. Otherwise, the word Discomix would be quite inappropriate indeed. As with the audio DUB part, the video also looks back at just what the lyrics are all about. As Messian Dread is mixing, we see just what a musical chanting down of Babylon and worshipping the Most High JAH actually can be done in DUB!
