PODCAST reviews

Podcasts are a great way to get yourself familiar with all kinds of artists and styles you might like to consider for your next purchase. It is also a very good way of experiencing Reggae in an alternative way as many podcasts are de facto non-stop mixes, often put together by skillful DJ's and other Sound System personnel. The Dubroom has reviewed many of the best podcast(ers) throughout the years, all of which you can discover in our reviewed podcast pages. Be sure to also check out the Dubroom's own podcast. A link to the latest chapter can be found on the left side of this page.

"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.

Throughout the 1970's, the DJ's chanted over the drum and basslines of dubbed out Reggae tracks. In the 1980's, Jamaica developed Rub a Dub music, with a strong DJ presence.

In the UK, a similar development was going on. Saxon Sound System gave birth to a brand new genre when their MC's began to toast at warp-speed: the "Fast Chatters" came to take over and ruled the UK charts with classics like Smiley Culture's Cockney Translation.
