TROMBETAS DIVINAS

TROMBETAS DIVINAS
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, November 2008 - You guessed it: A tribute to the Mighty, Mighty sound of the Horn Section. However, this is a tribute of the Horn Section where you might just not expect it: in the usually very digital realms of UK DUB!

As we step from one crucial DUB into the next, the Mighty Horns are everywhere without taking us into a vibe where only those that "also like jazz" would love to stay throughout the entire length of this podcast.

Don't worry, though.

Unless you really don't like DUB.

But then, you wouldn't be here reading this.

So, let's step into this tribute of the Mighty Horns as we go from crucial and deep UK DUB into the next. Many Zion Train projects are present, like the Tassili Players and Love Grocer. Dennis Bovell is there, the man behind just too much DUB to mention. Vibronics, and the German based Sir Larsie-I: All in all, just too much niceness to be left un-downloaded.

Seen?

01. Abassi All Stars - Cross The Dub
02. Love Grocer - Waiting At The Gate

DJ I-SMASH DUB, ROOTS AND REGGAE MIX

DJ I-SMASH DUB, ROOTS AND REGGAE MIX
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, November 2008 - He works in Switzerland, Italy and Germany as an acclaimed Techno/House DJ. Just what would he select for 1 hours and 40 minutes of Dub, Roots and (other) Reggae?

The result may surprise you.


DUB has been more than influential in the eventual creation of electronic Dance music: a thing you can read on many Dubroom pages. Ever since King Tubby cultivated the skill of mixing into a work of Art, people have been developing their own style over the concept.

A concept of drums, bass, and effects. A concept wherein instruments drop in and out rather than playing solo's et cetera. A concept wherein just one or two lines of singing have more effect than many full lyric tracks.

Listen to certain UK DUB, and you will hear a style that many Reggae fans will not even (want to) recognize as a form of Reggae. Add to that, a lot of Reggae fans have a lot of dislike for contemporary digital music.

On the other hand, we do find that a lot of House/Techno producers and DJ's will know all too well just where their music is (partly) coming from. A lot of them have a love for Reggae, and especially DUB.

One of these DJ's is DJ I-smash, aka Psysmael. He works for Swiss radio, organizes festivals and is a wanted guest on parties in Switzerland, Italy and Germany. He can tell you all about electronic music and knows how to spin a few records.

In this mix, however, he doesn't "go techno". Quite the contrary, actually. In one hour and forty minutes he shares some of his (DUB) Reggae favorites. A look at the playlist might surprise you.

The music is mixed one track after the other, sometimes with a little effect but mostly just a no-nonsense non-stop mix of some of the most heartical DUBS and other Reggae out there.

BRETHREN IN CANADA

BRETHREN IN CANADA
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, November 2008 - Brethren in Canada? Sure thing! It's not only the title of one of the tracks in this highly danceable mix of Jamaican, UK and Canadian Reggae, it's a statement of fact too.

Canada's Reggae history is almost as old as Reggae itself. When Jackie Mittoo settled down in Toronto in 1969, he was one of the first to introduce the music to the second largest country of the world.

He wasn't the last, either. Roots singer Willi Williams, for example, is another one. The list goes further and shows the long time relationship of Canada with Reggae Music.

Brethren in Canada? Of course!

The people behind the Toronto-based Dub Connection Podcast give us a few crucial Canadian Reggae tunes and combined them with some of the better works from Jamaica and the UK from roughly the early 1980's until now.

The result is a highly danceable mix of several styles of Reggae Music: Rub a Dub, Ragga, Dancehall, UK DUB, Roots, et cetera. Definitely not a mix-up without structure, definitely not a mix without quality.
