November 2011 - It's been a while since the
previous chapter of Radio Dubroom 2011 has
been posted online, but good things come to
those that wait and here it is: a brand new
1 1/2 hour long non-stop mix carrying some
heavyweight Roots and Dub from different
times and places.
Starting
with a healthy selection of old-skool
Jamaican material, this chapter surely has
many different styles to offer. The Congo's
with their classic "Ark of the
Covenant", Cornell Campbell's excellent
discomix "Lion of Judah", the
magnificent Horace Andy with a meditation of
the "Youth of Today" (also in
Discomix) and Gregory Isaacs with yet
another classic from the motion picture
"Rockers", followed by Dillinger
and Prince Fari form the opening segment.
Classic, old skool material that will not
only appeal to the elderly among us but
equally to folks born at a later point in
tome. Good DUB included, of course.
After this,
we're diving straight into a selection of
UK/Euro DUB and Roots. Dutch singer Lyrical
Benjie with two massive tunes, one carrying
a heavyweight Dub part and from the UK
there's the Talking Dog with not just
crucial vibes but equally crucial lyrics.
Lyrics that should appeal to the lovers of
consciousness as Babylon System is falling
even though she claims the opposite.
There's
more: From the excellent AKA Dub Part One
compilation released by the Scandinavian
LUSH RECORDS label, to the Italian DUB
Community and even to Japan where Dry and
Heavy keep playing their massive Roots and
DUB in Old Skool Style. There's French DUB
as well, with conscious contents: almost a
given when it comes to European contemporary
Roots and Culture.
The show
closes off with an extended version by the
UK based "Dub From Atlantis"
collective, more or less a cover version of
a classic track of which yours truly has
forgotten the name. Last but not least, here
are the Abassi All-Stars with vocalist Kenny
Knots once again explaining that Babylon
really has a Wicked Intention, something
that has to be mentioned.
