ADRIAN
SHERWOOD AND ON-U PART 2
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
December 2007 - Get ready for a deep,
deep journey into the mystical realms of
Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound from the early
1980's into the present time.
When Adrian
Sherwood started releasing his experiments
and DUB excursions beyond the realms of
Reggae, he took a special place in the
history books of Reggae Music. Until this
present day he maintains his position as
head of one of the most remarkable stables
UK DUB.

DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |

September 2007 - Five crucial tracks from
1978-1982, selected by the Jamaica HiFi
crew, Showcase Style!
When the
maxi-single or 12" became popular,
Jamaican Record plants began releasing
extended mixes, usually a combination of a
vocal track with a dub or DJ counterpart.
Later, maxi-singles were released on
so-called "Showcase" albums.

INGLAN
IS A BITCH: TWO TONE
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 2007 - TWO TONES: More than just a
label. The Two Tones were Black and White.
Two Tone Ska incorporated Reggae, Jamaican
Ska and even Punk with the sole intention to
chant down racism.
Most people
will associate skinheads with white racists
having more hair than brains. The bomber
jacks, army boots: they're a too familiar
sight in Europe and elsewhere.

INGLAN
IS A BITCH: ON-U SOUND
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 2007 - Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound
takes a special place within the catalogue
of UK DUB and Reggae productions, ever since
he started releasing.
When you
hear words like "experimental" or
"progressive", more often than not
you are listening to word that covers up an
inability to work with the real deal rather
than an accurate description of someone's
productions

"INGLAN
IS A BITCH: ROOTS BANDS"
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
September 2007 - This episode of the Jamaica
HiFi' series "Inglan Is A Bitch",
in which we explore the story of UK Reggae,
contains 30 Minutes of music by some of the
most crucial UK Roots Bands from 1976-1979.
Reggae
Music was very much a Studio Music, and fact
it still is. In Jamaica, most Reggae Bands
were simply Studio Bands and artists like
vocalists and Dub engineer would work on the
material played by these bands. The bands
themselves therefore had a repertoire of
more often than not 1000's of tracks.

"INGLAN
IS A BITCH: FAST CHAT"
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
September 2007 - Smiley Culture's
"Cockney Translation" is just one
out of five great examples of the UK's
answer to Jamaican Rub a Dub in the 1980's.
When U-Roy
started to chant over the instrumental
versions played by King Tubby's Hi-Fi Sound
System, many different styles were born.

DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 2007 - In this deep DUBWISE
experience, we will visit France, Austria,
the UK, South Africa and Dominica for some
crucial "Fruits Music" from the
last 17 years.
Arguable,
the UK and the European continent have been
more receptive for DUB techniques and music
than America, perhaps even Jamaica. Some of
the strongest drum and basslines are created
right there, in the midst of Babylon, even
influencing people to create music that will
cross the borders of Reggae, but not those
of DUB.

October 2007 - If you can, take a spliff and
feel. Feel the deep, deep DUB vibes of the
Orb, Rhythm and Sound and others as they
take us to outer space, beyond the border!
Reggae
Music and especially DUB has an enormous
influence in the development of what we now
know as contemporary electronic Dance music.
