Radio Dubroom Extra Chapter 4: Rub A Dub, Let It Play!

RUB A DUB, LET IT PLAY
RADIO DUBROOM EXTRA CHAPTER 4

WWW, August 2014 - Today, the music in this non-stop show would be labeled "Roots Reggae". This has not always been so: Jamaican music developed from the early to mid 1980's into a style called "Rub a Dub". Early digital technology entered the studio's, gradually replacing the old tape echo's and providing a fatter sound. Rub a Dub style, let it play!

Actually, this was the time when your selector became conscious and a lover of (DUB) Reggae Music and heard several tracks featured in this show when they first came out. Starting with the first one: a fat Dub of which a vocal track will come later in the mix ("Groove with Me"). Another Dub follows in classic Rub a Dub sound, after which Sister Carol opens with yet another fat Rub a Dub riddim that will definitely shake up the place.

And that's just the introduction.

Charlie Chaplin is next, riding a riddim while Don Carlos sings along until the Dub part. More Don Carlos, a full lyrical track of which the Dub was played at the start of the show and a classic from that era, in Discomix style. Johnny Osbourne and a Dub by Scientist, another favorite of the selector. Papa Tullo in Discomix style, with a little bit of vinyl trouble that's hardly noticeable.

Josey Wales' "Guiding Star", a favorite of Iriginal Jah Roots band drummer Imro Fedor precedes two Yellowman tracks of which the one with the long name was a hit back in the days, a success for Yellowman as well as the Volcano label that was so strong in these days. The same goes for the Frankie Paul track that's there too, War Is In The Dance or Worries in the Dance. 

Junior Murvin, Cultural Roots, John Holt, Triston Palma: they all had new releases back in the time to join the Rub a Dub sound. A sound that is often underestimated by folks who think that Reggae's His Story stopped at 1979.

To conclude, so that we'll not forget it: a classic duet by Fathead and Yellowman that gave the title to this show.

Let it Play!

Radio Dubroom Extra Chapter 3: The Genius Mad Professor

THE GENIUS MAD PROFESSOR
RADIO DUBROOM EXTRA CHAPTER 3

WWW, August 2014 - To illustrate the words of the Dubroom's review on Mad Professor and his countless works from his ARIWA studio's with some heavyweight power Dub sounds, here is Chapter three of Radio Dubroom Extra. This chapter contains two hours and twenty minutes of stricktly Ariwa material from the early 1980's to more recent times. 

The Mad Professor has done so many things with so many singers and players of instruments that it is impossible to claim to give a "complete overlook" or whatever. This mix, too, does not give credit enough to the works of Neil Fraser aka the Mad Professor. However, it's selected with care, and mixed in a no-nonsense style without too much extra effects and jingles and thing.

Put on your headphones or even better: turn on your speakers and subwoofers and make a joyfull noise in your neighborhood. Or google the album titles that come with each title.

MESSIAN DREAD PLAYS BUNNY WAILER AND SOLOMONIC SOUNDS
RADIO DUBROOM EXTRA CHAPTER 2

WWW, July 2014 - In the second chapter of Radio Dubroom Extra, Messian Dread plays some of his favorite Bunny Wailer tracks plus two relatively rare selections from Jah Bunny's Solomonic Sounds label.

Bunny wailer is a favorite singer of the Dubroom's webmaster even though his favorite tunes are not the ones generally considered his best.
