Next to Jamaican productions, UK DUB is a powerful
notion within Reggae Music. UK Roots is another
one. Especially with the introduction of digital
techniques in the 1980's, the difference between
Jamaica and the UK based music became apparent.
Jamaica "went Sleng-Teng" and "slackness"
became the order of the day in the Dance, where
many UK based Sound Systems and studios further
developed Roots Music in Word and Sound.
This Roots Tradition is upheld until this
very day. Arguably, you actually have more
chance to find spiritual and other conscious
lyrics than slackness in a UK ROOTS release!
Part two of Steppin' Youths excellent
presentation of (digital) UK DUB and ROOTS takes
us straight into the conscious heart and soul of
an all-star list of representants of the genre.
We're being treated to a number of great
vocal tunes, where most titles will come with
their DUB version as well. DUB versions, all
skillful works of Art.
A huge part is reserved for the productional
works of Steve Moscoe aka JAH WARRIOR, whose
collaboration with Jamaican vocalists and Dougie
Wardrop's Conscious Sounds Studio produced too
much fruits to mention.
Another great Podcast from the Paris based
STEPPIN' YOUTH Sound System! |
