DUBROOM
NETLABEL REVIEW |
| WWW,
April 2014 - Founded in 2009 by the Maltese
producer and radio host Manwell Tabone,
DUBKEY has evolved from being an outlet for
the productions by the brethren to a Net
Label that features singers like Prince Alla
and Kenny Knots, producers such as Unitone
Soundimentional and the Apocalypse DUB
Faction.
Malta might
not be the first place you'd expect the Head
Quarters of a DUB and ROOTS Reggae Net
Label, but then you should admit to have
made a mistake. Dub Key is a Net Label that
you cannot ignore in any way. Not because of
the excellent local productions (Mind's Eye
Dub), not because of the UK releases, not
because of the need for good DUB and ROOTS!

APOCALYPSE
DUB FACTION - JAH NEVER FAIL I
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
April 2014 - Opening up with a very fine
vocal and Dub carrying the voice of Rueben
Addis (Unitone Soundimentional whose
very fine "Zion Chant", released
by DUBKEY.Com was also reviewed in the
Dubroom), Jah Never Fail I is another
crucial release by the Maltesian Net Label.
The Apocalypse Dub Faction, no stranger to
long time visitors and readers of the
Dubroom, brings us 14 titles of pure UK DUB
and ROOTS you just can't refuse. Read and
download n.o.w.!
Rueben
Addis is not the only vocalist featured on
this release: Kenny Knots and Prince Alla
join in and they do not dissapoint at all.
The simple fact that everything recorded was
recorded roughly between 2000 and 2005
simply shows another fact: this is music for
all times and seasons and those who love
their drum and bass vibrations simply know
what to do with the album.

Crucial Alphonso - Visionary Creation
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
September 2014 - True Original Sound System
Style: six titles all with two versions.
Pumping steppers riddims, some played by the
mighty King Earthquake (UK) and all created
in Crucial Alphonso's Belgian Studio. When
you like your digital, when you like your
steppers, when you need your bass, just
download this free release by that Maltese DUB
KEY Net Label.
Crucial
Alphonso grew up with Reggae. His father a
Reggae DJ, his own voicing at Sound Systems
and ability to create his own electronic
devices, it was only a matter of time before
he would start releasing his own production.
As said, as done. Twelve outstanding pieces
of digital niceness that yuou can play soft
but preferable loud with a lot of
bass.

Jah
Rootikal Steppers - Jah Rootikal Steppers
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
April 2014 - Jah Rootikal knows his Reggae.
Jah Rootikal knows his Dub. Jah Rootikal
knows his Steppers! With his self-titled début
album, the UK based producer delivered a
magnificent piece of artistical work. Or
should it be: works? Twelve titles filled
with love for the music, love for the sound,
love for the Dub. One Love!
For the
music on the album, Jah Rootikal got
together with a number of musicians he knows
from his long time involvement in playing
and producing music. Vocals, melodica,
conga, nuff stuff. The result: a combination
of played and programmed materials,
everything skillfully mixed into Dub works
in the UK Dub style avant la lettre.

SINGER
TEMPA - CUT MORE COLLIE
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
July 2014 - In this May 2014 release from
the Maltese Net Label DUB KEY, we are
getting introduced to Singer Tempa inna
Showcase Stylee! UK DUB and Roots Reggae as
authentic as it can be, from the top to the
very last (DUB) drop. Skillfully played by
the MessenJah Music Players, mixed by
Apocalypse Dub Faction's Rod Chaplin, and
skillfully voiced by a veteran in conscious
Roots Reggae. Read on and download this gem
for free!
First things first: this is Singer
Tempa's debute album. He is the house MC for
the Lion Heart Sound System, while he voices
for MessenJah as well. Yes, he is based in
the UK where a culture of Roots Reggae Sound
Systems dates back decades. It is in this
culture that Singer Tempa was born and where
he grew his vocal talents by continually
performing with sounds.

unitone
soundimentional - zion chant
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
April 2014 - Those who know their UK DUB and
ROOTS business when it comes to production
and Sound System, should not need to be
introduced to the UNITONE SOUNDIMENTIONAL.
Rueben Addis has been running the Sound
since the start when he joined Mixman who
was then setting up his Blakamix productions
back in the early 1980's.
Net Label
DUBKEY.com's first release of 2014 carries
singers as well: Zebby Blax, who provides us
with the opening track for example. Together
with a fine accompanying Dub by Rueben
Addis, that is. Hatta Benji is there too and
Sis Dinah, adding the Roots Daughter vibe.

VARIOUS
ARTISTS - UNITED AS ONE
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
September 20 2014 - Something brewing in the
Mediterranean: The Maltese Net Label Dub Key
and it's Cyprus based Dubophonic counterpart
joined strength with a solid and varied
(DUB) Roots Reggae release as a result.
Music with a message, music with a soul and
general conscious vibes. Can't refuse this
one.
They've
been anticipating this release with an
excellent promo mix that could be download
only a hundred times. That is, until the day
of the actual album release and -not
completely coincidental- the day of this
review as well. Over here at the Dubroom
we've anticipated with the inclusion of the
very same promo mix in a podcast
released yesterday and a determination to
publish the first review of this more than
excellent album for the online massive.
Why?
