Dubroom Online, Edition June 6 2009


"OBAMA NATION (5)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, June 6 2009 - Those who have been doing a little bit of research, or simply watched the news for a while, may have noticed how Barack Obama has recently laughed away the proposal of legalizing the herb.

It's a thing which may not be the most important in life, for example it may be well understood how the bombings of innocent people in Pakistan is much more important than the freedom to light up a spliff.

Nevertheless, the "War on Drugs" has made it's millions of victims too. How many are currently in jails around the world for the simple "crime" of smoking herb? The prisons are filled with them, and none of them should be in there for the reason of herb.

Obama, however, praised by many who are in favor of legalization and sometimes even think Obama is on their side, simply laughs away the idea that herb should be legalized, in spite of his admission that legalization in high on the people's agenda.

Step 4 I Part One is the first of a line of interesting compilations
The first release of the French Net Label Original DUB Gathering opens up with a massive steppers DUB. A crucial introduction to French DUB indeed, even though the title ("Russian Style") suggests otherwise.
The second track, a chilled-out DUB contrasts the opening tune in a good way. Number three, entitled "Sip Your Cup" is a Steppers Tune once again, allbeit a joyful one, at times almost jazzy.
In closing of this interesting EP, we get to know the people who started the Original DUB Gathering: Ondubground, coming with an energetic Steppers riddim. Nice one fe true!

In the third release of his now classic Dub Me Crazy Series, we capture the Mad Professor in his Ariwa laboratory, eeh, studio.

The year is 1983 and we're talking about twelve top tunes from a time wherein not many seemed to realize how DUB had more of a future than a past.

Who know the amount of albums and single DUB releases by the man behind Ariwa Studio's? The number is countless. Mad Professor's oeuvre is impressive in quality, but even more important: in quality. This album shows it once again...

Just imagine, a quarter of a century ago. The Internet was still under development by Darpa, digital technology was shunned by many and the CD was a novelty or not even yet...

This is the time, wherein the twelve tracks on this superb DUB album have been mixed. Mixed by hand, using a combination of analogue and digital equipment, everything connected in a weary that only a Mad Professor would invent.

Humor and seriousness are combined in a sugar-and-spice tradition of which the Mad Professor seems to have a patent. His humor is unprecedented and he stands on single heights when it comes to translating humor into mixing.

Definitely an addition to your respected collection of DUB Albums!
