WWW, June 2014 - Meet Ras Mokko a.k.a. Ras Kitchen. Living in Jamaica with his family, he has a Video channel and nationally broadcasted show which is labeled "part cooking show, part documentary, 100% original". He also released two vocal sample packs for DJ's and producers to use in productions, and all he asks is to give him some credit and share your track(s) with him. Deal? Read on...

Jamaican food is like Jamaican music: recognizable and kind of essential when you want to produce some thing. Even though Reggae Music (and especially DUB) have long crossed the border and became international, Jamaican elements continue to be essential. It has even come so far that many, many contemporary music producers use Jamaican vocals or rhythms to define their sound. Just think about DubStep or Drum 'n' Bass.

Radio Dubroom 2014 Chapter 5: Roots Reggae Dub Wisdom

ROOTS REGGAE DUB WISDOM
RADIO DUBROOM 2014 CHAPTER 5

WWW, June 2014 - With Roots and Culture from all times and places, this chapter of Radio Dubroom shows how Reggae Music goes together hand in hand with consciousness. From Jah Wisdom to conscious observations, you will find it voiced over the bass and drum lines. Here is Roots Reggae Dub Wisdom: enjoy!

The set opens up with a track from the download archives of yours truly: this one was available for download on the website from the (Netherlands based) producer Robert Curiel back in the previous century. It's a Dub full of vibes, just like the second one by Sheya Mission and the 1975 7" release by what many consider to be the first Roots Reggae band in the UK. 

Continueing with another rare vinyl single with Michael Prophet and a healthy portion of Dub re-released through the Blood and Fire label. Mchael Rose forms a bridge to more recent material, that is, from the last decade or so. Crucial material from Twilight Circus, Mad Professor, Slimmah Sound, Don Fe, and the new Dubroom release featuring Dennis Alcapone.

Chapter five of Radio Dubroom 2014 is also the first mix done using the new hardware here in the Dubroom, a rather exciting thing to do but that's for another occasion.

MY NEW SOUND AND SOME THING

MY NEW SOUND AND SOME THING
MESSIAN DREAD UPDATE JUNE 7 2014

WWW, June 7 2014 - It's been a while since my last update, even though it hasn't been quiet in the Dubroom lately. Still, it's time for an update about this-and-that since too many things a gwaan where others are simply new.

First of all, I am typing this into the memory of a brand new computer. It's a powerful machine but given the fact it came with Windows 8, I have yet to see the real power. Getting Reason 3.0 working and seeing how it supposedly eats like 6 gigabytes of RAM is quite an experience but in the end, after tweaking and learning I will get the darn thing to work. After all, the reason for this brand new machine I'm working on now is to further expand my new musical sound.

STUDIO DUBROOM TUTORIAL

WWW, June 2014 - Check out a brand new chapter of the "Making Dub With Computer" tutorial, especially for those that want to do what the title says. This particular chapter deals with the basic principals of programming the chords of the Piano, Guitar and Organ into an instrumental Reggae track.

Even though the "riddim" or "skanks" section is not the field of expertise of the writer of the tutorial, it might show to be fruitful to at least check out the chapter.

DENNIS ALCAPONE - GOT TO BE CONSCIOUS/DUB TO BE CONSCIOU

DENNIS ALCAPONE - GOT TO BE CONSCIOUS/DUB TO BE CONSCIOUS
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

WWW, June 2014 - This is the second release in the new Dubroom Studio sound, carrying the voice of none other than Dennis Alcapone delivering a musical message over a militant style Steppers riddim. Real horns, nuff Dub mixing and a positive vibe for the online (DUB) Reggae Massive!

Got To Be Conscious comes in two different mixes: the first one is a (mini) discomix carrying the full vocals followed by a Dub where the second is a spaced-out Dubwise track. Both mixes have their own specific vibe as well.

This second release in the new Dubroom sound comes with a real horn section, something really new and used in many more releases to come. Connoisseurs will rightfully recognize the Ariwa horn section (like in the previous one) and the Ariwa riddim section (the piano etc). Still this is an original Dubroom riddim and production, and it's a legal (licensed) release too.

This two track release is presented as 128/320 Kbps MP3 Files or true CD Quality WAVE Audio, as usual with releases out of the Dubroom Studio. Click "DOWNLOAD" to go to the Download Page. All Rights reserved © 2014 Messian Dread/Dubroom

VARIOUS ARTISTS - THE LOST BOOKS OF DUB CHAPTER TWO

VARIOUS ARTISTS - THE LOST BOOKS OF DUB CHAPTER TWO
DUBROOM MP3 ALBUM REVIEW

WWW, May 2014 - The second installment of the "Lost Book Of Dubs" features 20 massive Roots Reggae and DUB works by both well and lesser known names. This is another album that should not be absent in the collection of any self-respecting collector of the better works, and not just because it is offered free of charge by the DUB Iration Sound System!

Usually, a little name dropping sets the stage but this would absolutely not be justifiable in the case of "Lost Books 2". This is a release in the "all-killer-no-filler" category, where we're taken from a militant steppers to a meditative two drop and back again, while conscious messages are being delivered all the time as well.

In the same time, you will benefit from the fact that you do not have to pay a single penny or even register to download the material.

We're not talking about a single package of niceness, we are talking about 10's of gigabytes of High Quality royalty free audio. After all, the material was first presented through well-known magazines like Future Music which in itself stands for a specific level of quality. Yes, professional stuff. 

Let's take a look at just a few packages.

Four different construction kits for Dub/Reggae: excellent instrumental play, and so easy to do that even beginners can create a track that they will really like to share with others.

Percussion and guitar samples are present in an overwhelming amount. Take the excellent conga samples, truly inspiring to create that Roots vibe even by simply using the sound of the hand drum. Download the Funk Guitar loops for crucial Wah Wah Guitar effects, all of which are presented per tone in several maps.
