MP3 Podcast: Studio One Roots Chapter 1

STUDIO ONE ROOTS CHAPTER 1



WWW, September 2007 - It will have to go further than a presentation of what many know to be the classic Studio One Sound. There will have to be tracks that not many may have heard before, too.

No, making a crucial Studio One selection definitely ain't easy at all. But the Dub Organiser can do it, as this well-titled Podcast will establish once and for all!

Studio One Roots? This can mean different things for real.
What we have come to know as Roots Music, was obviously played by musicians who themselves had Roots as well. It's a matter of fact, that most Originators of Reggae somehow started off their musical path in Sir Coxsone's Studio, which would explain the title.

The music itself, obviously is Roots Music avant la lettre. Studio One was there before all these other Reggae Studios for the simple reason that Sir Coxsone Dodd was already running an established studio in Jamaica when Reggae was not even there.

The podcast doesn't go back that far in time, though.

There are some remarkable Dub Versions, nice DJ Toasting by U Roy and others, a heartical Burning Spear track that not many Spear fans may have heard before, and these are just a few highlights.

53 minutes of pure niceness!

Video: Third World and Tony Rebel - If Jah (Live Jamaica, 2004)

THIRD WORLD AND TONY REBEL - IF JAH (LIVE JAMAICA, 2004)



Third World are known for their mega hits "Now That We've Found Love" and "Try Jah Love", wherein they mixed the Reggae Rhythm with other -then- contemporay musical styles and rhythms.

That was then.

Fast forward to 2004.

Third World team up with Tony Rebel Stage As he enters stage, he asks the audience if they think he can "take the challenge" to perform his classic "If Jah" in Spanish and in a different rhythm and style for real.

Ofcourse he can!

As the audience come out of their chairs (!) to dance, it's Third World's time to take up the challenge as the tune goes over into the classic Reggae riddim that served as the back up for this majestic title based on Psalm 91.

WWW, September 14 2007 - The (almost) daily editions of Dubroom Online have begun taking the form of an e-zine. Most editions have more or less something of a theme, covering one or more aspects covered in the Dubroom.

There's always a review of some crucial Reggae in one format or another, more often than not completely free of charge too. Articles, news and other material is put out on a regular basis, too.

Most of the readers and visitors of the Dubroom apprecilove our combination of promoting (DUB) Reggae and Consciousness, as it covers their interest.

Reasons enough to start a brand new Mailing List, bringing you the latest edition of Dubroom Online straight to your in-box.

No more need to register yourself on the Dubroom Message Board, just have a valid email address and sign up while you listen to some very rare and underrated Wailers material.

MP3 Podcast: The Wailers Record Shack Chapter One

THE WAILERS RECORD SHACK CHAPTER 1



WWW, September 2007 - The Dub Organiser brings us a very interesting selection of some rare and very ancient Wailers material, and not the kind of music you'd expect to hear!

No matter from which you approach Reggae Music, sooner or later you will be confronted with Bob Marley and/or the Wailers, if they have not introduced you to Reggae Music in the first place.

Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer formed the original Wailing Wailers back in the 1960's, and they started to record material for Sir Coxsone Dodd's Studio One an Lee Perry's Black Ark to name just two studio's.

Along the way, the Wailing Wailers became Bob Marley & the Wailers and large portions of the planet were introduced to Reggae Music in a special way. The rest of the story can be considered too well known to be told in this review, which goes for this Podcast as well.

The Wailers Record Shack Chapter One is a well organized selection by the Dub Organiser. A large portion is reserved for Tuff Gong productions, Bob Marley's own Studio named after one of the names he carried. Peter Tosh's own Intel Diplo Label isn't forgotten, either.

However, the most interesting stuff comes in the second part of the show, when it's time for some Bunny Wailer productions from his Solomonic Label. Most interesting, as the unmistakable sound of Solomonic is disgracefully under-rated by a lot of Reggae connoisseurs, selectors and collectors.

So big up once more to the Dub Organiser!

New Mailing List Replaces Old Ones (Dubroom In-Site #6)

NEW MAILING LIST REPLACES OLD ONES
DUBROOM IN-SITE #6



WWW, September 2007 - Until recently, the Dubroom had several Mailing Lists. A new Mailing List now replaces all the others, and there are many benefits to the change.

This year marks a lot of changes in and around the Dubroom. The site definitely moves forward and so does the contents. The Dubroom's "formula" if you will, to promote (DUB) Reggae and Consciousness doesn't change but gets more profound along the way.

A few years ago, we started with a couple of Mailing Lists. They all had their specific topic, you had to register to the Dubroom in order to receive them, and the e-mail themselves only contained a link.

This is now changed.

This year, the Dubroom's Front Page becomes more and more like a daily magazine as we publish a daily mini-column and new reviews, releases and research material almost every day for close to a year now.

It's called Dubroom Online, and you can find the most current edition on the Dubroom Frontpage. Or a stripped version of one of our blogs or messageboard postings.

We also have a rather extensive weblog at dubroom.blogspot.com, where you can find the mini-column and full reviews/articles with the necessary links (for example, in the case of an MP3 file).

More important, though, is our new Mailing List, because it contains the full editions of Dubroom Today. Not only do you get the column, unlike our other publication the mailing list contains the full reviews and articles as well, including the graphics.

A few things you can expect in the Mailing List:

(DUB) REGGAE MP3 REVIEWS - The top of the online (DUB) Reggae Artist community as well as free/legal downloadable music from "established" Reggae Artists are reviewed and linked too

(DUB) REGGAE VIDEO REVIEWS - Clips, Reports, Documentaries and more: highly recommended material which can be seen straight from the Dubroom Website.

NEW MUSICAL RELEASES - Be among the first to download the latest Dubroom Studio or Net Label releases

STUDIO DUBROOM - Occasionally we'll put out material that may be of service for the online (DUB)_ Reggae Artists, especially those who work with modern digital technology.

MESSIAN DREAD UPDATES - The Dubroom Webmaster is also a writer, and his articles and meditations contain a wide variety of topics that will often provoke in-depth discussions.

RESEARCH - We have several research projects, about a wide variety of topics, ranging from Babylon System to the Movement of Rastafari, from Yesus Kristos to Geezus Cryst.
You don't have to register at the Dubroom Message Boards, all you need is a valid e-mail address.

Dubroom Online - Edition September 13, 2007

Dubroom Online - Edition September 13, 2007

WWW, September 13 2007 - The Dubroom receives all kinds of e-mail. Most of it is either too private to mention or will result in an article, but a portion of it goes into the category of Funny Feedback.

Funny Feedback can be both positive and negative, but it will always provoke a smile. And sometimes more than that.

Take this e-mail from that bloke who claimed our independence meant we had to be "objective". "Objective", as defined by him obviously, and it basically meant we had to konform to the norm.

It provoked more than a smile. It provoked a prayer of thanks to Jah for our independence.

Give Thanks, One Love,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)

HOUSE OF REGGAE 5



WWW, September 2007 - An ultra-rare white label Barrington Levy track is just one tune in another crucial selection by Brother Ian, as he opens his House of Reggae for the 5th time.

As soon as we enter the House, we can do nothing but establishing how our host has done his homework once more. Bigtime! The hour starts with a floor shaker from 1961, gradually takes us further in time, and back again, while we are given some relevant information on the side.

Information about Marcus Garvey, for example. This Black Freedom Fighter continues to be an example and source of inspiration a lot, if not most, if not all Jamaican musicians.

Information about the music, too. Information that goes way further than just listing the musicians, as we learn about the real struggles behind the music that we all love so much.

This truly is Reggae Edutainment of the highest quality!
