August 2025 - A One Drop riddim, a very
interesting chord progression with some very
basic instrumentation and a running bass
line form the foundation of the Churchican
Riddim, the third Roots Generators riddim
released by the Dubroom. The two titles that
are created with this riddim form a strong
warning against what is commonly known as
"Chrurchianity" and still a
message to keep believing in Yesus Kristos.
The music
is sweet and definitely has a late 1960's
vibe around it. Especially in the first
title, the singing is very much similar to
the late 1960's. The minimalistic
instrumentation, just a piano and two
guitars over the bass and drum/percussion
adds to that vibe. Even though it is a basic
two chord riddim, there is one part just
after the beginning of the track that has a
very interesting chord progression. It's
like the music goes everywhere.
The riddim
comes with two titles, each one having a
vocal and a Dub part. The first title
("Church On Sunday") has a
traditional singing style while the second
("Mister Churchican") has a much
more contemporary style of voicing. A bit
between toasting and singing. The Dubs are
mixed in accordance with the minimalistic
vibe, with no fancy effects. Just reverb and
delay, everything mixed by hand of course.
Some tech
info: The skanks are played using plug in's
from Sound
Fingers ("Le Skank" and
"Dub Piano") and in the mix the "Dub
Filter" from the Audio Thing company
is definitely vibing and nicing up the
sound.
The tracks
are available for free download in MP3
format straight from the Dubroom servers.
The Wave files, in 24-bit 48Khz super
quality can be downloaded for free or for a

LYRICS
CHURCH
ON SUNDAY
You're going to church
on Sunday
There's no love in your heart
on Monday
Still you come and tell I that
you know yourself
I check way they gwaan oh yes
Some a righteous man
Giving all they can
To work on JAH JAH plan
Some have gone astray
To turn a wicked way
A blasphemic display
Also a big disgrace
The ways of the Lord
shall endure forever
You try to find it
in a place called church
Acting smart
but they're never
being clever
forget the One
Who really
loved them first
Don't you dare do the same thing
Nah leave Jessas Christ as I sing
To Him you must send your crying
Cause He will be back with lightning
We say...
Ooh yes we say...
Don't you dare do the same thing
Nah leave Jessas Christ as I sing
To Him you must send your crying
Cause He will be back with lightning
and thunder!

Scandal here and there

about their affair
so we much beware
Follow Jessas Christ

Cause He is the Light
for which satan fright

all of it pure lies
must see the disguise
Jessas Christ He say
In His grace we stay
Be cause Him The Way
Potter and the clay
In green land we lay
Listen to Him say
and then start to pray
Cyaan ever decay
Put your faith in Him
Not believe is sin
It's the biggest sin
got to look with in
what is it you win
your church ah ruin
When Jessas come in
and find you within
All you need is faith
Only Jah is great
Must appreciate
Or depreciate
Come in to His gate
Jessas invitate
Before it too late
do not deviate
Churchican

now please over stand
step out Babylon
Let Jah Son lead on
To real Mount Zion
