DUBROOM MP3 ALBUM REVIEW
For the music on the album, Jah Rootikal got together with a number of musicians he knows from his long time involvement in playing and producing music. Vocals, melodica, conga, nuff stuff. The result: a combination of played and programmed materials, everything skillfully mixed into Dub works in the UK Dub style avant la lettre.

RADIO DUBROOM 2014 CHAPTER 3
The set opens up with a selection of older UK Roots Reggae and DUB. As the history of Reggae in the UK is as old as the music itself, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise to find out all kinds of historic recordings that have gone lost in the memory holes of just too many people. Misty in Roots' excellent 12" "Salvation (Discomix)" and Brimstone's 7" "Final Judgement/Final Dub" are two of them.

DON FE - JERICHO 12''
DUBROOM REVIEW
The opening, "Jericho" has server as an exclusive for the well known Channel One Sound System for quite a while. They've used the tune during festivals like Nottinghill Carnival, a highly popular event for the lovers of Roots Reggae Music. Listening to the tune, you can imagine it going through the speakers of one of the best Sound Systems and shaking the place.
It's an instrumental tune and it needs a Dub counterpart. Yes, it is given: "Walled City". Slightly more dubby than the first take.
The second riddim, or B-side of the 12'' is another massive one by the spanish producer. It has a different vibe but is nevertheless equal as a Dubrockers riddim. Like in "Jericho", there's a flute which is there but not in a boring way at all. This is a good addition to the solid drum and basslines.
These four upfull tunes, joyous and solid in the same time. Again,no wonder why the first vinyl batch was sold out. A fine release by the relatively new STEPPAS RECORDS LABEL.
MP3.DUBROOM.ORG: NEW LOOK, MASSIVE INFLOW IN
DUBROOM CREATIVE COMMONS ARCHIVE
DUBROOM MP3 NEWS AND VIEWS
Yes, it was time again: too many dead links and thing. About 200 podcasts were reviewed but only 111 remained. Too many single tracks were gone as well, and not only because of the demise of IODA. Artist pages removed, even album pages.
It was time again, also to include mp3.dubroom.org in the new look and feel of the Dubroom. Sure, all ads had been removed already but the navigation and lay out was still a bit different. This has been totally adjusted now and mp3.dubroom.org is integrated in the rest of the Dubroom website.
UPTOWN REBEL - RANDOM ROAD
DUBROOM MP3 ALBUM REVIEW
Electronic DUB Art, that is. In a Roots Reggae Style.
The opening track, featuring Sammy Gold at the microphone is an easy going One Drop style Roots tune, with conscious lyrics for your heart and soul to meditate upon. During the massive Dub version, for example. Bredda Sammy surely has a message for each and everyone to take heed while Uptown Rebel has the riddim and the Dub mixing skills to accompany it just in style.

DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW
The set lasts just short of an hour and ten minutes, and after that you have been treated to a Roots and Culture selection that gave you that upfull vibe you can get from a good Reggae selection. This podcast definitely belongs to that category.
ZIGGY MARLEY - PERSONAL REVOLUTION
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW
WWW, April 2014 - It takes the band about two minutes to actually introduce the riddim of the tune, but then you had an introduction that provided more than enough food for thought. On a musical vibe, that is.
