ZIGGY MARLEY - JAMMING IN THE RAIN

ZIGGY MARLEY - JAMMING IN THE RAINDUBROOM MP3 REVIEWMore from/about This Artist
WWW, July 2011 - It wasn't directly the intention, not even on the playlist: there was some spontanious impulse within Ziggy Marley which made him say "Jammin, Jammin" to the band as they played live in Sao Paulo (Brasil). The result is a spontanious, but tight performance of the well known track by Ziggy Marley's father.
The track clearly shows how Ziggy Marley has made his own particular way and style of doing the musical works. It's clear he know the track inside-out, how could it be any different, but he and the band definitely build on top of it. Nice Dubby parts, nuff improvisations as well ("Jammin in the Rain"), while they thought that "Jamming was a thing of the past" it's still going strong in this 21st Century Time and Iwa!

VIBRONICS - SAFE IN THE DUB/STRIVE

VIBRONICS - SAFE IN THE DUB/STRIVE VERSION
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW
More from/about This Artist

WWW, July 2011 (From the Archives) - The specific sound of Vibronics lands very well into the ears of the lover of the better UK DUB. This will not be different with the two free tracks reviewed on this page. "Safe in The Dub" and "Strive Version" are truly some gems for the heart and soul.

"Safe In The Dub" is an up-tempo steppers rhythm with a monotonous bassline, sweeping synthesizers, flanged skanks and a couple of melodic lines here and there. Instruments are very well dropped in and out during the mix, the drum and bass keep everything flowing: this is the works of a Heavyweight DUB Champion and so it is.


"Strive Version" opens up with some crucial singing in sound and lyrical content, then everything turns into a huge echo, the bass and the drum drop in and we know we're into yet another riddim by the mighty Vibronics who seem to can do no wrong when it comes to musical productions. Skillfulness galore!

YUANAN - RETORNO AL ORIGENDUBROOM MP3 ALBUM REVIEWNet Label Website

WWW, July 2010 - Even though you have to be able to understand the Spanish language in order to overstand the lyrics, it's clear that Spanish based Roots singer Yuanan delivered a more than fine Net Album in this July 2011 release by the Neblina Sound Net Label.

Yuanan knows how to ride a Roots Reggae riddim, that one is for sure. Roots Reggae, played by players of instruments who know what they do. Just like releases from Spanish Reggae bands such as Hot Drop and the Emeterians, Retorno al Origen contains 12 extremely tight Roots Reggae riddims which just cannot be denied their quality. The album closes of with an acoustic Spanish re-make of one of the riddims.

Twelve Roots Reggae riddims, crucially voiced by Yuanan, whose style of singing has a lot of Middle-East vibes. Because he sings in the Spanish language, those who are not able to understand the words have to go with the vibrations delivered by the talented vocalist. This is completely achieved in the Dubroom's view, one reason to add the album to the Dubroom's CreativeCommons download catalogue.

ITALIAN DUB COMMUNITY SHOWCASE VOLUME 3DUBROOM MP3 ALBUM REVIEWNet Label  Website
WWW, June 2011 - The long wait is over: widely anticipated throughout the online Dub community, here is the third chapter of the phenomenal Italian Dub Community Showcase serial. Fifteen titles, thirty tracks, and once again the selection is stronger than strong. Consciousness and Dubwise galore, this is definitely a very precious gift from the Italian DUB Community to the World Wide DUB Massive. Respect is more than due!

A precious gift it is, indeed. There is no reason for anyone to consider the fact that this free Net Album was released under Creative Commons Copyright to be a sign of a low quality contents. This is a sign of life from a very vibefull Italian DUB Community which cannot be refused or even denied.

The fifteen different names range from the more well known names in Dub land like the Alambic Conspiracy, Dub Engine and Wicked Dub Division to artists like Cultural Sound System of whom not so much material is released via the Net Label channels. A Serious selection fe true, we're speaking about stricktly High Quality Low Bass Roots Reggae, showcase style.

Even though this is extremely difficult to choose, nevertheless, two highlights.

Voiced by Idren Natural, "No More War" by Cultural Sound System is a hard hitting Steppers track. The vocal part is actually a discomix and the Dub is superb. This is the kind of tune you want to listen to again and again, both for the message and the music

Another hard hitting Steppers which stands out is "Hunger/Hunger Dub" by Dub Shiloh. The track starts of with sounds, after which the up-tempo drum and bass line pop in the mix. The first mix might be kind of crucial, the second mix (officially entitled Hunger Dub) really is. This one will keep you jumping all the while, especially with some better speakers.

All in all, Italian DUB Community Showcase 3 was more than worth the wait, the anticipations were not in vain. There's unity and cooperation in this community, no partiality and no competition.

This is a serious selection of some heavy-duty, heavyweight Euro Dub and Roots you just cannot refuse!

ALAMBIC CONSPIRACY - THE MISSING DUB VERSIONS

ALAMBIC CONSPIRACY - THE MISSING DUB VERSIONS
DUBROOM MP3 ALBUM REVIEW



image

WWW, June 2011 - San Martino di Campagna, Italy. It's December 2010 and the Alambic Conspiracy DUB Studio is settling down in this new location, north of Venice. When everything is put in place, some older recording pop up: the Missing DUB Versions. With names like BR Stylers and Zion Train to name just two, these DUB Versions have fortunately now been found. Sixteen DUB Versions, that is!


The outstanding work on The Missing DUB Versions is not just found in the incredible riddims that serve as the foundation found on this album. It's equally, perhaps even more, in the art of DUB mixing applied. Most of the things are done in a stricktly old skool tradition of analogue effects and mixing board. Remarkable, when you realize that most of the work was done during the last three years.


Even more remarkable is the fact that according to the conspirators themselves, none of these tracks were ever intended for release. Why that would be, is a question to most: even for the collective themselves. It's truly a very interesting exposition of old skool methodology on new skool Euro and UK Roots Reggae riddims.


From the top to the very last drop, the album continues to have this special vibe. Given the fact that the tracks were recorded by a variety of musicians and studio's, a noteworthy point. The Alambic Conspiracy knows who to mix their DUB and this album will show it to every self respecting lover of the better contemporary DUB.

Unfortunately, In Transe does only contain three tracks. These three tracks all have their own specific vibe and style even though everything is undoubtly coming from the same producer. From the magnificent opening track to the heartically voiced middle one to the more Dubstep orientated closing tune, this is more than interesting to listen to.
