DUBROOM, TAPATALK AND
HEARTICAL FM
DUBROOM IN-SITE # 38
WWW, January 2021 - Time for an update on the
developments at both DUBROOM.org, TAPATALK.com
and HEARTICALFM.com. Yes,
three different websites that are all of interest to the reader and visitor of
the Dubroom.
dubroom.org
We've added several mailing lists to our
contact pages. You're now able to subscribe to more specific things from the
Dubroom. Go to https://www.dubroom.org/contact/lists.htm
to check them all out!
mp3.dubroom.org
At the moment this is written, a rather huge
project is about to be finished. During the last months, the Dubroom's MP3
portal has underwent a significant change even though it is not directly
noticeable for the casual visitor.
During
the last months we've completed uploading everything that we've reviewed and was
released under Creative Commons copyright. That copyright means you can
re-distribute the music provided that no money is made of it and the original
files are left intact. And for you it means that you can get the music straight
of the Dubroom servers (or links at MEGA) so you don't have to worry about dead
links.
We've
also added almost every release that is no longer available elsewhere. Certain
artists, producers and net labels have seen their websites disappear off the
world wide web for a wide variety of reasons with the result that the free music
offered on these websites have gone into the big nothing. Since that music was
offered free and the Dubroom does not make any money, we've decided to add the
music to what is now becoming the Dubroom Free Music Collection. This is music
that otherwise would not be available to you anymore which would be a shame. We
call it "Legacy of the World Wide Web".
For
the historians, we've added a third element to the collection as well. We call
it "Rare, Historical, Out-of-Print Choices for the Connoisseurs". It's
just what it says. When you're interested in that rare stuff, like that old
radio broadcast that was never released but has been recorded decades ago, you
will find this interesting. Do not expect much, though. At the moment this is
written, there's just one broadcast to discover but that might just change in
the (near) future.
radio.dubroom.org
Another thing that is about to be finished even
though it's not really visible at this moment, is Radio Dubroom. Currently we're
uploading all the old Radio shows to MIXCLOUD.com, with the intention to have
the shows available for streaming directly from radio.dubroom.org.
And there's a brand new show that comes on top
of, not instead of, Radio Dubroom: "Riddims and Sounds from the Dubroom
Selector". This show is broadcasted live every Thursday at Heartical FM and
a week later will be available for free streaming/download straight of
radio.dubroom.org as well.
Later in this update more about that.

During the last months, we've been very busy
updating what was just a little forum at Tapatalk into basically a musical
mirror of Dubroom.org. What does that mean? Well, it is our aim to have
available at Tapatalk every single release we've reviewed or released ourself.
Stream directly, find music easy, and even better (for us): comment on the
reviews or the music itself. Registration is not required!
We think that our place at Tapatalk is also
more pleasant for people with just a mobile phone instead of a computer than the
dubroom.org website itself, since the website is specifically designed for use
with computers. After all, the website started back in the 90's of the previous
century and is still working on the hand-made templates from that time.
Give it a try!

As said, we've got a brand new Radio Show on
top of Radio Dubroom 2021. It's called "Riddims and Sounds from the Dubroom
Selector", or just in short: "Riddims and Sounds". This show is
different and longer than the chapters of Radio Dubroom 2021. And it's only
available a week after the original broadcast, at HEARTICAL FM.
Heartical FM is an online Reggae Radio Station
with a lot of different selectors and shows from all over the world. We were
asked to contribute as well and we gratefully and humbly accepted this
opportunity to share even more music with the world wide massive.
"Riddims and Sounds" will be
broadcasted every Thursday between 9pm and 11pm, UK time. The nice thing is that
with the broadcast comes the possibility to chat online with other listeners and
with yours truly who strives to be there unless it is absolutely impossible.
Visit HEARTICALFM.com
or Radio Dubroom for
more info and tons of musical experiences.
concluding
Hopefully you're a little bit informed as to
what's going on over here at the Dubroom. We're glad to be back with some more
activity than we've (not) had since a couple of years. Hopefully we'll meet
again soon. You can always visit the Dubroom at Tapatalk or join us when the
Riddims and Sounds show is broadcasted when you want to have communication.
One Love,
Messian Dread (Editor/Webmaster, Dubroom.org)
