For heavy contemporary DUB, most people
would look to the UK. And rightly so,
because the UK is traditionally associated
with some of the heaviest DUB: the Mad
Professor, for example.
And for heavy contemporary Roots, most
people would look to Jamaica. Rightly so,
too, as Jamaica is literally the Roots of
Reggae and keeps feeding the branches from
it's fertile soil.
However, to limit yourself to such
locations would seriously harm your
possibilities when it comes to getting some
really crucial music. Especially when you
take the Internet into this account,
too.
And this is where Swedish based GOLDHEART
MUSIC enters. Indeed, from Scandinavia,
where you might not expect to find some of
the fattest dubs and uplifting conscious
tunes.
GOLDHEART MUSIC is a relatively new
label, that uses the Internet as primary
outlet for their crucial releases.
Crucial releases, for example, by Daweh
Congo and Sheya Mission. Artists who get
massive airplay on Jamaica and the Internet,
and are positively received by reviewers and
selectors.
Reviewers and selectors who know
everything about the "dread
combination" that stands at the roots
of the best Reggae music.
Yes, the "dread combination" of
Consciousness and Reggae. They go hand in
hand as the best music is produced from a
conscious mind, or a gold heart if you
will.
The GOLDHEART MUSIC label knows this
too.
The music they release can be described
as deep lyrics on deep Roots Music. Most of
the tracks come with impressive DUB
versions, some of which you can even
download for free from the website.
Which is another reason to check out this
great contemporary independent label.
Not only can you purchase their material
on vinyl, or CD, but downloads are
possibility, too. And these downloads will
enable you to get the music without having
to pay for the shipping, handling, and
CD/vinyl production costs.
So whatever you may do to express your
love for Roots Reggae, without a visit to
the GOLDHEART MUSIC website you're seriously
missing out.
