July 2014 - Two full-length Discomixes
and three Dubs: yes, with almost 30 minutes
of music this is the first EP from the
Dubroom Studio in the new 2014 sound.
Featuring Horseman and Dillinger as well as
a number of singers delivering a conscious
message, this release brings you both a
Steppers Roots and a Rub a Dub vibe. Here is
a Musical 45 to keep you alive!
The concept of a DJ chanting over a
riddim and singers jumping in and out is not
new, not original, not uncommon. Where many
styles and genres have incorporated the
concept, no one can take away the fact that
this all started in Jamaica during the
1970's and even before that. No one can deny
that Roots Reggae music, mixed in Dub style,
is a perfect foundation for a DJ to chant
over and exactly that is what you can find
in the two Discomixes. The first one (Love
Not War) is a pumping Rub a Dub style, the
second a joyous yet serious Steppers
Roots.
The concept of a vocal track followed by
it's Dub version in a non-stop mix isn't
anything new, original or even uncommon
either. Neither is Dub mixing. Both have
been developed in Jamaica as well, a fact
nobody can deny and therefore many will
simply ignore. Not so in the Dubroom, where
we are aware that we owe Jamaica a lot, if
only for the musical and cultural
upliftments. Therefore, two authentic
Discomixes and two authentic Dub mixes, plus
one bonus Dub just because music is nice.
All five tracks carry the voice of
Horseman, who has been chanting since the
1980's and was released on the Greensleeves
label. Two tracks carry the voice of
Dillinger as well. The man who brought the
world "Cokane in my Brain" and a
flood of Roots Reggae DJ Tracks even a
decade before Horseman came to the (UK)
scene. Both deliver a musical message, a
Conscious message like Reggae and Rastafari
have been doing for decades and will keep
doing.
All five tracks are original Dubroom
productions. The vocals are legally obtained
and licensed, the music and vocal
arrangement created and mixed by Messian
Dread using the new Dubroom 2014 sound with
real horns, real this-and-that and of course
real, authentic Dub mixing. Feel free to
