DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
March 2008 - Since the late 1970's,
they have been blessing the (DUB) Reggae
massive. And now, the UK based Sound System
Ambassada comes again with some Hard
Steppin' Dubs and Heavy Skankers to bless up
the online (DUB) Reggae Community.
DJ Ian Irie
has this special talent to mix all kinds of
styles of Reggae Music, even from all kinds
of times and places, into one long non-stop
mix that stand on it's own. We've said it
before: it's the mark of a veteran selector,
someone who knows his Reggae and knows
himself to be part of the music rather than
a mere player of tunes.

December 2007 - Heavy, heavy Roots you can't
refuse: Ambassada Hi-Power's DJ Ian Irie
comes once again with a selection of vocals
and dubs that will make the weak heart drop.
We call it
rootical, because the music is Roots Reggae
Music. Roots Music which provides the
foundation and the life for both the
branches and the fruits. This foundational
Reggae Music more often than not comes with
Conscious lyrics or titles.

of the word DUB without foundation",
says the selector of the Ambassada High

SKANKING - KING DAVID STYLE
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 2007 - Presented in classic Sound
System style, this one-hour mix of conscious
and spiritual Roots Reggae Music will
definitely keep the Rootsman Skanking.
King David
loved conscious and spiritual music. That's
why he wrote so many lyrics (called Psalms)
and was known for playing music that would
drive the bad vibes away.
Kind of
like spiritual and conscious Roots Reggae
today, as I would say..
