ARTISTS

Next to Messian Dread's catalogue, this Net Label has a few releases by other artists and producers. Some are very much related to the Dubroom like the Iriginal JAH Roots band and Sure Dread, others have graciously given permission to release some of their material like Dubcreator, Prince Fatty, Alpha and Omega. On top of that, in 2014 the Dubroom legally obtained an impressive list of non-exclusive licenses to use vocal and other material in original Dubroom Studio productions. All of this leads to a list of names ranging from completely unknown to legendary, like Dennis Alcapone, U Roy and Dillinger. And, yes, in case you wondered: all our releases are legal.

ALPHA AND OMEGA
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - They debuted back in the 1980's with the deeply explosive "Rastafari" 10 Inch, and the rest can be considered essential part of the history of UK DUB. Alpha and Omega have released some hard material indeed, their collaborations with Jah Shaka and Greensleeves records should be mentioned and there you have it in a nutshell.

Alpha and Omega remain until this very day to be leading forces in what has become a world wide scene of Sound Systems, DUB collabs and what have you. They even granted the Dubroom a few things, which we proudly present here at our Net Label's pages.

BLAMINACK
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

Blaminack found a serious love for Reggae Music in the early 90s. He borrowed a Reggae mixtape from a friend and never returned it. Later on in the 90s he found a CD in a Christian book store and was amazed that there were Christians making Reggae music.

At the time  that was kind of a new concept to him and he really began to dig into Reggae music from a standard "Gospel Reggae" perspective. Soon this led to hearing music from Rasta artists and Reggae artists from many different backgrounds. Then he found out that Reggae music was not an us against them kind of thing. Reggae music was and is the peoples music.

DAN MAN
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 -  He is MC at Iration Steppas, the well-known UK based Sound System known for their militant and heavyweight sounds. Dan Man knows how to ride a Dubwise riddim, or any riddim for that matter. He has a strong voice, being the trained and skilled MC that he is, and it's a true joy for the Dubroom to have him on several original Dubroom productions.

With the license that the Dubroom obtained, it has become possible for our net label to release our original music with Dan Man as MC. You will find him announcing things, providing some vocal lines here and there, more than enough to give him his own page at music.dubroom.org.

DENNIS ALCAPONE
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 -  Next to U Roy, Dennis Alcapone means to DJ-ing what Scientist means to Dub. With that, he can be considered not only one of the founding fathers of Reggae Toasting but equally of the whole genre of Rap and Hip-Hop. His voice has rode countless of riddims since the late 1960's, an estimation might even lead into a 4 Zero digit number.

A melodic way of chatting signifies the trademark of Dennis Alcapone. That voice doesn't argue, that voice demands two ears and preferably even more as he delivers his musical message in a friendly, yet demanding manner. Listen to the Original Dubroom riddims created especially for this heavyweight and legendary MC by downloading the 100% legal releases from our Net Label.

DILLINGER
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 -  Of course he is known throughout the world for his world hit "Cokane In My Brain", and unfortunately many don't know any other track featuring Dillinger. Not so in the Reggae community, of course, where he has reached legendary status for more than just one world hit.

As a youth, he started to hang around Dennis Alcapone and when he started to voice, his name was "Dennis Alcapone Jr". He subsequently went on to record for many different producers, including Yabby You, under the name Dillinger. The vocal recordings licensed by the Dubroom are just a little tiny drop in the ocean that is the catalogue of Dillinger's works, but they drive the original Dubroom riddims to a next level, that's for sure.

DUB CREATOR
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

He was one of the first online DUB artists, and he is now an established name in the UK DUB scene, even though he's not based in the UK. Dubroom Star Selections is proud to present one of the Top DUB Producers based in the Netherlands, if not The Top Producer in that country: The mighty DUBCREATOR. 

When he started listening to Reggae Music in the early 1980's, Netherlands based Dubcreator soon discovered the mighty sounds of DUB and decided to focus on this discipline of Reggae Music for the rest of his life. In Amsterdam, where he lives, he came up with a concept to play DUB live with a band. Remarkable, because DUB is a specific studio music. So to think of ways to play this particular style of Reggae live with a band isn't something easy.

HEARTICAL
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - Not only a long-time member of the Iriginal Jah Roots where he plays a heavy bass and guitars since the late 1980's, Heartical is a multi-talented artist working in several audio-visual disciplines. He creates intelligent, audible pictures with his Dub-driven music created in his Home Studio that the Dubroom is proud to present, alongside a number of other works of art that go beyond the spectrum of this website.

Heartical knows his Reggae without the shadow of a doubt. He has produced a number of the hardest bass lines played by the Iriginal Jah Roots band, his guitar skanks are in demand, even from times before the Internet. In his solo works, he takes this foundation and combines it with other specialties in art that he masters, especially those of the visual kind. How he does it, remains an undiscovered issue. That he does it, is no secret!

HORSEMAN
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - Horseman is a talented percussionist, drummer and MC with veteran status. After all, he has worked with JAH Shaka, Mad Professor and is the MC for Prince Fatty's Sound System. His raw, heavy voice blends perfectly with just about any form of Reggae, but heavyweight Roots is many people's favorite. 

It all started when he signed up for Greensleeves records and did a track called Horsemove. Horseman has been actively involved in the UK Reggae scene ever since. His two vocal releases through Prince Fatty's Dub Drops triggered the Dubroom to obtain a license to produce and release the musical works in the Dubroom studio and released through our Net Label,

JAH BILLAH
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

Hailing from the country of Croatia, JAH Billah uses his studio to produce DUB Music in collaboration with artists and producers from all over the world. The remarkable results form a good example of the fruits that the Internet has brought (DUB) Reggae Music.

The Online Artist is a relatively new discipline with the total spectrum we call the Music Business. Unlike the independent artist from pre-Internet days, (s)he has the possibilities that even the rich and famous could only dream of. Together with computer technology in music production, the Internet enables artists and producers (as if there is a difference between the two) to come together and work on projects even when they are not physically together.

JAH ROOTS
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

The name Jah Roots has been used by several bands all over the world, but none of them can claim their beginning in the late-mid 1980's except for the Iriginal Jah Roots. This Original Jah Roots can be considered to be the "House Band" of the Dubroom. 

Founded by Messian Dread and drummer Imro Fedor in 1987, the band has performed and recorded with guests on several locations and occasions.

KOJAK
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - Who says "Kojak", says Rub A Dub. At least, when it comes to the world wide Reggae community. Even though he started in the 1970's, Kojak's real name comes from his countless 1980's releases which, indeed, was the time of Rub a Dub or "early dancehall" even though it's not exactly the same.

Originally, he began to perform under the name Pretty Boy Floyd but that was soon over. He went on, took the name of a well-known television character and started to call himself Nigger Kojak. Often in duet with a female vocalist he simply called "Liza", his particular style of DJing was well in demand during the days when Scientist created his now legendary series for Greensleeves.

LONE RANGER
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - Born in the UK, at age 12 he went to Jamaica and at a certain time the Lone Ranger was considered to be one of the most lyrically inventive DJ's. Albums followed, of which the one he did for Studio One is considered to be a classic and obligatory item in every self-respecting Reggae collector's collection.

Like so many MC's that started in the seventies, Lone Ranger also took his name from a movie character. Initially he started working as a duo with Welton Irie but he remains to be the best known for his Studio One album. Not, that he didn't do anything else. In fact, he's released almost ten albums and countless of single releases.

MESSIAN DREAD
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - Messian Dread is the producer and engineer behind all the productions from the Dubroom studio. He has been actively involved in the production of Reggae Music since the late 1980's, and was one of the first (DUB) Reggae producers to put their music for free download on the Internet. First in Midi format, then -when it was released as a file format- in MP3.

Messian Dread's musical output since the 1990's is huge. Counting all tracks until 2011 produces a number of 300. From 2011 until 2014 it was relatively quiet around the Dubroom Dread, but in 2014 he came back strong with brand new original Dubroom productions carrying licensed vocal material. Below is just a small portion of his works, when you click here you will be directed to one page carrying all free tracks.

PRINCE FATTY
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - Prince Fatty is Mike Pelancoli and the reason he has this name is not related to the size of his body, but everything with his productions, of which the Dubroom is honored to be able to present an example. He is the motor behind DubDrops and as such, also provided the Dubroom with the excellent vocal material from Horseman and Dennis Alcapone.

Prince Fatty wants it fat, and he wants it in the "Old Skool Style" of Jamaican Dub. When Prince Fatty wants it, he doesn't get it, he does it himself. A true producer with talents but more important: with trained skills and expertise.

PRINCE JAZZBO
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - To say that Prince Jazzbo is a legendary toaster who started recording for Studio One and Black Ark, is to ignore the fact that he is an acclaimed producer as well. Although his body passed away in 2013, we're fortunate to have recordings by this remarkable Jamaican Reggae artist and producer.

Born in Clarendon Parish, Jamaica and raised in Kingston, Linval Roy Carter (who would become known professionally as Prince Jazzbo) began his career with sound systems such as The Whip in Spanish Town. He began recording with Coxsone Dodd's Studio One label in the early 1970s under the name Prince Jazzbo, and also recorded for Glen Brown and Lee "Scratch" Perry.

RAS KITCHEN
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - Ras Kitchen aka Ras Mokko is a Jamaican specialist in Ital Cooking and much more. He has his own television show wherein he introduces his livity as well as cooking methods, and he loves to share his voice for music.

In order to raise a little bit of money, for just a a little bit more decent living if you will, Ras Kitchen released two free vocal sample packs from his website. They are reviewed for Studio Dubroom, a sub-site of the Dubroom where producer of (DUB) Reggae can find information and download things. It's not really something for people who are not actively involved in producing Reggae Music, but when Ras Kitchen comes with Dubwise tracks produced in the Dubroom Studio especially for the Ras things obviously change.

SEAMUS IKONYA
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - Originally hailing from the mother land, Seamus Ikonya has won several awards in Kenya as a member of the vocal group Pentamony. Not without reason, given the fact he worked with Luciano and Anthony B, released on the Kenyan Arkangel Records. Italian based Kaya Sound System knows where to find him, and that's just some of the work by this amazing singer.

He started singing while still at high school, went on to work as a singer in several bands and collectives both within and outside the realms of Reggae Music. It doesn't matter whether he performs with Pentamony at a number of schools in Norway or voices for Kaya Sound at Falterona Reggae Camp in Italy, Seamus Ikonya knows how to sing the right thing at the right place.

His voice at times reminiscences Junior Murvin, while he doesn't pretend to sing like anyone but himself.

STICKSMAN
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - There was a time when Beat Creator and Vocalist Sticksman lived next to Dubroom producer Messian Dread. Ultimately and inevitably, some thing had to be created together and indeed that happenned. He provided some loops and vocal licks to Messian Dread, who added some more stuff and turned it all into a heavy DUB tune.

Dub meets Hip Hop in an earth-quake mix uncovering the foundation which is the drum and the bass. A musical conference with an outcome that will definitely please the hard core DUB and Trip Hop fan to the absolute fulness.

TRINITY
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - Anyone even remotely familiar with the Dubroom and it's editor knows about the admiration for Yabby You. The Original Jesus Dread. Jesus Dread, also the title of Trinity's big-up of Yabby You. Not a surprise, that the Dubroom is thankful to be able to produce original riddims for the voice of this crucial and legendary MC and present them to you.

After working as a deejay on several Kingston sound systems, he made his debut recording in March 1976 with "Set Up Yourself" for producer Joseph Hoo Kim. "Words of The Prophet" followed for Yabby You, who also produced his debut album, Shanty Town Determination.

U ROY
DUBROOM NET LABEL ARTIST DESCRIPTION

WWW, August 2014 - He is widely considered to the the founding father of Reggae MCing, and with that the grand father of other musical ways that incorporate, let's say, chanting over rhythms. Of course the Dubroom is very grateful to have obtained a license to produce original Dubroom riddims to carry U Roy's mighty and melodic voice.

Unmistakable, undeniable and identifiable. Leading the way even when producers have his voice recorded, here ate the Dubroom this is definitely the case. Yes, you can -and should- look to his more than impressive biography but to hear his voice is to hear not just the history of Reggae, but a voice that had been decisive in the development of music.
