ALBUM REVIEWS |
|
url: reviews.dubroom.org/albums.htm
|
|
When
the Dubroom started back in 1997, it did not
take long before the first albums were
reviewed. CD albums. Things and times
change, so this section has expanded into
reviews from buyable MP3 singles to vinyl
records and everything in between. From
brand new material (sometimes reviewed
before it's released) to classic, timeless
material, from lovers rock to heavy dubwise,
good (DUB) Reggae that needs to be heard can
be discovered.
Browse
through the reviews or by artist, and
consider everything reviewed to be
recommended as well. After all, it's the
policy of this website not to publish
negative reviews.

ARTIST
REVIEWS |
|
url: artists.dubroom.org
|
|
Sometimes,
an artist or producer has so much work
reviewed or is otherwise subject of special
interest. We're talking about a producer
creating a new sound, for example. Or an
artist that has been very influential in
this or that development. Whatever the case,
the artists in this section deserve your
special attention. In fact, we're talking
about small websites with several pages of
information rather than a single page review
when we talk about artist reviews. You can
find all the work we reviewed and often much
more, like a special news page with feeds
directly from the artists. Even though it's
not a huge section (it started medio 2012),
it's well worth to take a look.

BOOK REVIEWS |
|
url: books.dubroom.org
|
|
In this section you can find (links to
purchase) highly recommended books. All
books are actually read before reviewed, and
do not necessarily contain material
completely endorsed by the Dubroom. They are
selected for their relevance, whether
they're about (DUB) Reggae or Conscious
topics. Your purchase of the book(s) helps
the writer(s) and/or publisher(s) where in
some cases the Dubroom might receive a
little bit provision as well, even though
that is never the reason for publishing the
review(s).

MP3 REVIEWS |

First-time
visitors will "instantly" be able
to enlarge their music collection with 100's
of free and legal tracks, even full-length
albums. Use mp3.dubroom.org to get your
hands on some of the best from the online
artist and producer community as well as
established names giving away free tracks,
or otherwise interesting material.
Everything is hand-picked, listened to and
-more often than not- reviewed. You can
browse by track, album, podcast or by
artist, netlabel or podcaster. Links are
obviously provided.

SOFTWARE
AND SOUNDWARE REVIEWS |
|
url: reviews.dubroom.org/software.htm
|
|
Actually, this
section is part of Studio
Dubroom. That means, it's primary
focus is on the producer of (DUB) Reggae
Music. No, not just the beginner. Veterans
will definitely want to check out some stuff
as well (and they do). You'll find in-depth
reviews of buyable software and
loops/samples necessary for the construction
of (DUB) Reggae music in a digital
environment. Everything is recommended and
hand-picked, while a lot of the reviewed
material can be heard back in original
Dubroom music. Often, there are demo packs
available as well as musical tracks created
especially to serve as illustration with the
Dubroom review.

VIDEO REVIEWS |
|

video.dubroom.org
|
|
At the moment
this is written (June/July 2014), the
Dubroom Video reviews are kind of dated.
We've been through all the reviews and
removed reviews of material that was
taken off-line, but new material is not
added frequently.

WEBSITE REVIEWS |
|
url:
links.dubroom.org
|
|
After a
thorough clean-up of the Dubroom website in
2014, the Links Section has been promoted to
a section called "Website
Reviews". Hundreds and hundreds of dead
links and uninteresting categories have been
removed, and now from time to time a new
website is added. Every website is visited,
reviewed, and hand picked. None of the links
are the result of a friendship or mutual
promotional campaign, all of the links are
heartically recommended for one reason or
another, usually quite obvious.

Next to all our review websites, the Dubroom
also has a special blog at blogspot with
only the musical reviews. Not our releases,
not our other stuff, just the music reviews.
You can browse them even by musical genre!
When you're just interested in the musical
aspect of this website, this is the place
for you. Of course you can add your own
comments as well, and you do not even have
to register for that. Or subscribe to the
blog's feed and get the latest reviews
directly to your in-box.

ARTICLES |

articles.dubroom.org

Presented in several categories, this
section is what it says. All the articles
that the Dubroom (re)publishes are put here.
Interviews, reports, research material,
actually everything that's not a review. You
can find the articles from the various
subsites at the Dubroom. So while you can
visit articles.dubroom.org
and
browse by categorie, you can always find
relevant articles when you're at other parts
of the Dubroom, like Studio Dubroom or one
of our research
projects. In short: when you're really and
only interested in the articles present on
this site, visit
articles.dubroom.org
and in all
other cases you will find the right articles
when you need to.

CREATIVE COMMONS MP3 FILES |
|
url: mp3.dubroom.org/creacom.htm
|
|
A lot of
material reviewed at mp3.dubroom.org is released un Creative Commons
Copyright, which basically means you can
re-distribute the music for non-commercial
purposes under certain conditions, like
crediting the source and not changing the
tracks. A lot of that material is of such a
good quality, that the Dubroom doesn't just
review the material but also provides the
music straight from the Dubroom's website.
There is a
special download page at mp3.dubroom.org
where you can find all the music we
thankfully redistribute for the purpose of
promoting (DUB) Reggae.

DUBROOM
CREATIVE COMMONS RELEASES AT YOU TUBE |
|
url: youtube.com/dubroomdread
|
|
The
"Ifficial Itube Channel Of The Dubroom
Dread" contains all the Dubroom
Creative Commons releasesfrom 1997 to 2011.
We're talking about music by Messian Dread,
Heartical, Sure Dread and the Iriginal Jah
Roots Band. All these video's can be used to
remix You Tube style, that is, you can make
your own videos with the music or simply put
the music on your own account. The channel
also has a little bit of material that is
interesting for visitors and users of Studio
Dubroom (see below)

DUBROOM
VIDEO RELEASES AT YOU TUBE |
|
url: youtube.com/messiandread
|
|
In 2009 we released a video clip only to
continue in 2014. For our video releases, we
use a special DUBROOM.org You Tube Channel.
The video's are created using material that
is available on the web, like Creative
Commons material or free stock video's from
several websites. Unlike the music on the
other You Tube channel, these releases are
not Creative Commons but rather to be seen
as illustrated versions of our studio
releases. All video's can be embedded on
your site, blog, forum or phasebook though
and we very much encourage you to do so.
This is not about the money, this is about
the promotion of (DUB) Reggae and
Consciousness.

MIDI FILES |
|
url: midi.dubroom.org
|
|
In a way, this
is where it all started back in 1997. That's
about the time Messian Dread started
releasing his music online through the -then
popular- MIDI Format. The format has since
gone back to the studio, especially with the
introduction of the MP3 Format and faster
Internet. Still, the MIDI Archives serve a
purpose, as it is visited daily by people
looking for, well, looking for MIDI. Whether
you're a producer looking for chords or
other inspirational things, a historian
looking for ancient online music, or simply
like a little bit of nostalgia, check out
the Midi Archives. Especially since all
releases have been put into the Creative
Commons domain at August 16, 2014.

NET LABEL |
|
url: music.dubroom.org/mp3.htm
|
|
Our Net Label
is the main outlet for the original Dubroom
Studio productions, but it doesn't stop
there. We have over 500 different tracks
available, ranging from High Quality
instrumental Reggae to Electronic Dub-driven
sounds, from Roots Reggae to Rub A Dub.
You'll find names like Alpha and Omega,
Prince Fatty, Dubcreator and of course
Dubroom Household names like the Original
Jah Roots Band, Heartical and Sure Dread. Included
is an enormous catalogue of Creative Commons
released material that you can share or use
as back ground music for your non-commercial
video projects.

RADIO DUBROOM/RADIO
DUBROOM EXTRA |
|
url: radio.dubroom.org
|
|
Radio
Dubroom is a series of podcasts, started in
May 2010. The music contains not just the
best of the Online (DUB) Reggae Artists
community, but also material which is
reviewed in the Dubroom, rare or
out-of-print music, and much more. Every
episode is a non-stop mix, available for
free download right from the Dubroom server.
Radio
Dubroom Extra is the Revival of the Original
Radio Dubroom! Although the shows are
streaming only, the freedom for the selector
is "unlimited" and therefore much
more of a Radio Show than the podcasts. It
is also possible to request tracks or even
themes for Radio Dubroom Extra. For
more info: see our FAQ.

WEB STORE AND LABEL |

Buy
albums from JAH Mark's own Star Selections
Record Label as well as other musical works
he carefully selected on the basis of his
spiritual identity, long time experience and
musical preference. Browse the
catalogue and be pleasantly surprised.
This
Web Store and Record Label is run completely
independent from any part of the Dubroom
website, including the Net Label.

RESEARCH |
|
|
|
BABYLON OBSERVER |
|
url: babylonobserver.dubroom.org
|
|
You could say,
that he places footnotes with so many Reggae
lyrics that deal with this topic. The
Babylon Observer documents the activities of
major drivers behind
"Globalization", "New
Age" or "New World Order" as
they push forward to their goal and ultimate
fall. He publishes articles through this
website and adds (links to) research
material in every thinkable digital format
in his research and download archive. He
also has a special Message Board where
others can (and do) place their observations
concerning this.

CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON
CHRISTIANITY |
|
url: crc.dubroom.org
|
|
The Center for
Research on Christianity (or CRC in short)
was initially founded to accompany the
Dubroom's extensive research into the
phenomenon of "Gospel Reggae" or
"Christafarianism". This research
expanded into the Christian Industrial
Complex and other attempts by the devil to
corrupt true livity in Yesus Kristos with
what can loosely be called
"Christianity". Well worth a
visit, but not when you're looking to bash
the Divine Saviour Yesus Kristos and His
true Message of Salvation. When you want to
know a little bit about the corruption and
blatant satanic acts in the name of
"Jesus Christ", you're more than
welcome to check out what we've discovered
thoughout the years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CHURCHIANITY
OBSERVER |
|
url: co.dubroom.org
|
|
This is the
follow-up to the CRC. Basically the
Churchianity Observer has a YouTube Channel
where all kind of interesting and relevant
material is gathered, a forum where you can
interact about this very same material and
more even without registration, and a
research archive with downloadable stuff.
Although
the Churchianity Observer is obviously very
much against the false teachings and systems
he exposes, but none of that comes out of an
antichristian mind set. Quite the contrary!
The only thing the Churchianity Observer
wants to do is provide information to the
members of the Body of Christ and other
Truth seekers who seek to divide between
true Christian Livity, a life of faith in
Christ and the counterfeit systems of
downpression that come in the Name of
Kristos but in reality are ravenous wolves.

|
RASTAFARI |
|
url: rastafari.dubroom.org
|
|
The Movement of Rastafari has a profound
influence on the development of Reggae
Music. A lot of Reggae Artists are a member
or at least have a lot of sympathy for the
Movement and the Ethiopian Emperor Haile
Selassie, who was called Ras Tafari before
his coronation. This section is a tribute to
this Movement, a Movement that endures
Tribulation from Babylon System from the
very first day of it's existence. This is
not a "Rastafarian Website"
persay, even though Rasta's contribute. What
you can find is information and
documentation about the Ethiopian Emperor
Haile Selassie as well as about/from the
Movement of Rastafari.

Before you can send an email to the Dubroom,
you are asked to check the Frequently Asked
Questions or FAQ section. This section
contains answers to questions most commonly
posted or mailed. The FAQ section is
presented per topic, so it should be pretty
easy to find the answer to your question.
When it's frequently asked, that is. Find
out more about the webmaster, or about how
to be reviewed on the Dubroom or even
included in our Net Label, and much more.

The Ifficial Home of Messian Dread has all
the more personal articles dating back to
1996, all music from the Dubroom studio on

A well-visited
section of the Dubroom, Studio Dubroom
provides information, downloads and much
more for both the novice as well as the
veteran in the the production of (DUB)
Reggae Music. From a detailed description
how to build a hand drum to the continual
"Making Dub With Computers tutorial by
the Dubroom Webmaster, from huge free and
legal sample packs to interesting links and
tips. There is also a growing
archive with information about the Dubroom
productions, sources and other things. Even

production of the music we all love so much,
you might want to take a look and find out

SURE
DREAD |
|
url: suredread.dubroom.org
|
|
When he joined
the Iriginal JAH Roots at age 14, Sure Dread
was already a talented and skilled keyboard
player. Often compared to the likes of
Jackie Mittoo and Augustus Pablo, and not
without reason. He masters the black and
white keys while creating true compositions
and complex harmonic structures, sometimes
from scratch in a few seconds time. The
Dubroom has released a number of musical
compositions by Sure Dread during the first
ten years of it's online existence, which we
are proud to present to you on these pages.

YESUS
KRISTOS LIVITY |
|
url: dubroom.org/main/redemption.htm
|
|
Last, but
definitely not least: Read our words of
wisdom for the seeker of redemption. When
you seek redemption, that is. On what could
be considered the most important page of all
thousands of pages on this website, you can
find an explanation of and introduction to
the (eternal) life offered to each and every
one by the Creator Himself.
Do not go
to this section looking for arguments,
political correctness, or any other reason
but a simple hunger and thirst for the pure
untainted grace and redemption that Yesus
Kristos has to offer.
