Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 9: U Roy - Mash Down Satan Dubwise

U ROY - MASH DOWN SATAN DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 18 2014 - This is the official release date of the 9th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is: U Roy - Mash Down Satan Dubwise.

Of Course, Daddy U Roy himself does not need an introduction. It simply is an honor for the Dubroom to be able to legally present the founding father of (not just) Reggae MC-ing riding an original Dubroom riddim. Mash Down Satan Dubwise has more than enough lyrics to make it absolutely clear that U Roy is absolutely not intending to take it easy at his old day. He praises the Most High and chants down Babylon continually, morning noon or night. 

Producing the full lyrical track from which this Dub is taken was quite an experience as well, where his enormous experience most definitely was guiding the process even though it came in the form of recorded material. The result is a very carefully dubbed track, that sometimes remincenses King Tubby's style and at other places makes heavy use of effects that weren't around during these early years of Dubwise. This one is a Dub of Raspect.

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 8: Seamus - Babylon Dubwise

SEAMUS - BABYLON DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 17 2014 - This is the official release date of the 8th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is: Seamus - Babylon Dubwise.

Actually, this is a very special track on the album and one of the reasons is that there is hardly any knowledge about the singer that's featured on it. Still, this is one very crucial singer as you can hear in this five minutes and fifteen seconds of Dub from a full lyrical track that has at this moment still the "unreleased" status. His voice remincenses Junior Murvin (Police and Thieves) here and there, on top of "just" an overall highly impressive melodic style of singing. 

Starting of with a drum roll and riddim (skank) section soaked in echoes, at the tenth second a Dub siren enters and the drum and bass start playing. The drums (a steppers with a full blown snare) and the bass are of the solid kind, the kind that works very well in a Sound System set with an MC. The Dub is of the straight forward kind, the kind that just waits for some toasting, the kind that makes you wonder about the vocal version.

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 7: Prince Jazzbo - Rastafari Dubwise

PRINCE JAZZBO - RASTAFARI DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 16 2014 - This is the official release date of the 7th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is: Prince Jazzbo - Rastafari Dubwise, introduced by Lone Ranger.

Actually, it would be more appropriate to speak about an introduction by Lone Ranger, Jazzbo himself and the Fire Face Music Horn Section. "Rastafari Dubwise" is an easy skanker, a Rub a Dub style track that will make you move along with the drum and bass line. While the echoes go from right to left and back again, Jazzbo drops in every now and then, leaving just enough food for thought and meditation about Jah.

Whatever you may think when you hear "Jah Rastafari", truth is that Jah is the One to be feared, the Head of creation. Whatever you may think when you hear "Rastaman" truth is that a true Rastaman is that humble lion Jazzbo speaks about. Whatever you may think when you hear Dubwise, truth is that Rastafari Dubwise is another heavyweight original Dubwise selection straight from the Dubroom studio.

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 6: Messian Dread - Loving Dubwise

MESSIAN DREAD - LOVING DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 15 2014 - This is the official release date of the 6th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". It's called: Messian Dread - Loving Dubwise.

Often, the Art of Dub is described as the "Art of Taking Away". How true that is, and how true that is for "Loving Dubwise". Before this track became a Dub, there was quite a quantity of filling instruments: several guitars, even a violin and a quartet of singers: Assante, Tallis, Ras Khaleel and UK based female vocalist Mandy Edge. A truly joyful sound, which is emphasized by the effects. Lots of stereo effects, lots of multi-layered echoes and more technical niceness coming you way!

Both the title and -sparse but effective- lyrical content deal with that thing called Love. Not the slackness kind of love, but the love that makes people stop wars and fighting each other. The kind of love that brings forth fruit in due season, the same love that Kojak described on this very same album: Jah Love. It is Jah Love, that will take you higher.

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 5: Kojak - Prevailment Of Dubwise

KOJAK - PREVAILMENT OF DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 14 2014 - This is the official release date of the 5th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is: Kojak - Prevailment Of Dubwise, introduced by Horseman.

Like Horseman says in the introduction: "Now this is the original Dub thing", and so it is. An original Dubroom riddim, written and produced especially for the crucial lyrics by -again- a legendary Jamaican Reggae MC. This one is a Dub from a full-length lyrical track that is unreleased at the time of this writing, but it surely carries enough vocal snippets to het yet another message across: Jah Love will Prevail!

The riddim is easy, but paying attention to the bass will reveal a deeper vibe than a first superficial listen might produce. Kojak's sing-jay style on top, sometimes leaving a long trail of echoes and a skank section that, well, cuts like a razor blade. It's actually a pretty meditative track, because it brings a peaceful vibe yet every now and then some effects pleasantly disturb it just enough to keep you with both feed on the ground.

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 4: Trinity - Light Of This Dubwise

TRINITY - LIGHT OF THIS DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 13 2014 - This is the official release date of the 4rd track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is the album version of: Trinity - Light Of This Dubwise.

There's one thing that the album version clearly has in common with it's previously released extended Dub version, and that's the obvious Sound System vibe. It starts with the obligatory Dub Siren, and the riddim just asks for an MC (or toaster if you're a bit more old-skool like yours truly). Good thing Trinity drops in and out, just often enough to deliver the message and not so much that you can't speak about a Dub track on a Dub album anymore.

The mixing style of "Light Of This Dubwise" is pretty traditional. It resembles the way a lot of dubs were mixed in the days King Tubby and Scientist were transforming the riddim tracks of Channel One, the days wherein DJ's like Dillinger and Trinity began to break through as well. By no means to be considered an attempt to sound like yesterday, this 2014 has a Trinity delivering a message as strong as "back in the days".

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 3: Dillinger - Dwell In Love And Dubwise

DILLINGER - DWELL IN LOVE AND DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 12 2014 - This is the official release date of the 3rd track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is the album version of: Dillinger - Dwell In Love And Dubwise.

No, this is not just a shortened version of the previously released extended Dub. It's a completely different mix with a different vibe. Where it lacks the silky backing vocals by Don Goliath, it has Dan Man introducing the track and dropping words here and there during the 3 3/4 minutes of pure Dubwise energy that follows. Where it has less chanting by Dillinger, it contains much more Dub mixing and significantly more militancy in the vibe.

When the riddim drops after about a minute, Dan Man steps in and the effects go totally wild as he speaks. Horns morphing into drums, or is the other way around? The drum and bass drop in and continue for a while, only to stop and give the horns full time as it's soaked in an endless echo. When they drop in again, it takes a while before Dillinger starts to chant, leading us right to the end.
