ONENESS RIDDIM

ONENESS RIDDIM
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, November 2008 - In Reggae, several vocalists will use the same Riddim to voice their lyrics over. Over the Oneness riddim, for example: a cool contemporary Roots Reggae One Drop.

Luciano opens up this presentation of the Oneness Riddim, and he is followed by not only a long list of names: he is also followed by a wide variety of styles these vocalists use.
It shows the Power of Reggae: every one can join in and do his own thing.

Thanks to the German based Roots Ministry, who compiled and skillfully mixed this short presentation!

ROOTS RADICS - RADICALLY RADICS
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW



WWW, November 2008 - Usually, they are in the background, barely mentioned, while in fact they do all the work. Channel One Studio Band the Roots Radics ask your attention, please!

Sly and Robbie were part of the first Studio Bands of the legendary Channel one studio's in Jamaica, where just too many Roots Rockers and Rub a Dub is recorded to mention.

After the Aggrovators and the Revolutionaries, it was time for the studio to come up with their third band. The name was the Roots Radics, as they played one Rub a Dub after the other into the multitrack recorders at Channel one.

They are barely mentioned on the albums and the concert posters, when they performed to back this singer after that DJ. They played album after album, where only the DUB engineer took the credit.

Now this is changed.

Here is the Roots Radics, starring: The Roots Radics!

MYSTERY BABYLON (188)

"MYSTERY BABYLON (188)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 28 2008 - What kept me in the Christian Reggae Scene, after discovering such abominations as described in the previous columns?

The same what keeps us all in Babylon. For obviously, the one and only reason why I share so much about my own experience, is because I learned to recognize mechanisms and principals which can be applied to just about every situation.

For obviously, the "Gospel Reggae Industry" is one of the abominations spoken of when Babylon is not only described as the Mother of Harlots, but also as the Mother of all Abominations.

What you can say about Babylon, you can say about this "Gospel Reggae Industry". Just like, what you can say about Babylon, you also say about let's say the Purpose Driven Church.

More Tomorrow...

DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, November 2008 - We've come a long way after King Tubby started to spice up his instrumental B sides with effects, movie style. DUB EVOLUTION shows us how far the technique is developed in an excellent presentation of the better UK DUB.

Ariwa, JAH Shaka and Conscious Sounds are the most represented studio's on this collection of heavy drum and basslines as they can arguably only be produced in the UK.

Militant Steppers, pumping One Drop's, long and lasting echo's, righteous lyrics: from the top to the very last drop of this deeply recommended podcast we'll be moving and grooving while giving thanks for the Art called DUB.

Even Horace Andy's Kunta Kinte, even though the track some with full lyrics, could be filed under "Dub". There is just too much mixing going on to ignore.

DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW



WWW, November 2008 - One big party going on, as the MC's Clint Eastwood and General Saint pop up on stage with a full blown band to make some fun at the UK based "Old Grey Whistle Test".

"Another One Bites The Dust", is the title of the tune the DJ Duo performs. They were known from their world hit "Stop That Train", as representants of Rub a Dub Style in the World Charts.

And no, that is not "World Music". For every music is "World Music".

That aside...

Clint Eastwood and General Saint have a lot of fun together with the band and the audience, as they perform what was then a brand new Style of Reggae.

MYSTERY BABYLON (187)

Dubroom Online - November 27, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (187)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 27 2008 - "You sleep with dogs, you rise with flees". First time I heard that saying, was in an Israel Vibration tune.

Well, I surely rose up with flees after finding myself in the spiritual brothel called the "Christian Reggae Scene".

I discovered it was filled with people who had their heart and soul set against Rastafari and the Truth. People who were involved in setting up something we now know as the "Gospel Reggae Industry", which in it's turn is part of a larger complex I call the "Christian industrial Complex".

For years, I privately contacted key-figures in the assumption that they did not know what they were doing. I provided them with information which showed how their ideas about Rastafari were not at all in accordance with reality.

With the Truth.

More Tomorrow...

DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW



WWW, November 2008 - In the 1960's, you had skinheads who liked Ska music and were usually seen as rude boys.

No, this is no typo and this is not about neo-nazi's either.

In the end of the 1970's, the UK witnessed the birth of the "Two Tone" movement. It was a Movement with a philosophy and with a music, too.

The name of the music was a bit deceptive, though. It was basically a Reggae rhythm with the drums playing on the 2 and the 4 with the skanks between the counts, where the bass continued to play a reggae-ish line.

It sounded like Reggae, but it was not Reggae.

However, ten years before that, Jamaica also had a music called Ska.

And this is not the only comparance...

Two-Tone was also an answer to the rising army of neo-nazi's who called themselves skinhead. We can see them in the streets today, even, too. However, what most neo nazi skinheads do not know, is that just like Ska, also the skinheads were originally found in Jamaica.

Two-tone had the mission to tell the skinheads about their Toots, and they did so with a lot of music. Here are two of these bands.
