The
Dubroom reviews a lot of different material, from
musical to educational to beneficial and more.
We've got music, but also material for artists and
producers as well as researchers of more conscious
material. As always, when the Dubroom reviews
something, this means that this website considers
the material at least fair. So don't expect any
negative reviews. When it's here, we recommend it.
Period.

(DUB)
REGGAE MUSIC |
| From
full-length documentaries to video clips,
this is where you can not only enjoy the
sounds of (DUB) Reggae music, but the sights
as well. We are talking about very diverse
material that is not selected persay because
of it's novelty. Historical recordings that stood
against the test of times are offered as
well, TV broadcasts,
interviews: the Dubroom is always interested
in relevant and/or of high quality material
to review and in this part of the Dubroom
video reviews you can find just that.

ASWAD -
ROOTS ROCKING (LIVE, 1984)
DUBROOM
VIDEO REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 2007 - In this professionally
recorded live performance, we'll see Majesty
in the Palace as a full-blown Aswad plays
the bad vibes away with some crucial
niceness.
Four horn
blowers, an extended drum kit, two guitars,
a complete keyboard corner: indeed, this is
a full blown band. It's all there and the
band plays smooth as smooth can be.

REGGAE
ALL-STARS - GET UP, STAND UP (1985)
DUBROOM
VIDEO REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 2007 - Steel Pulse, Aswad, Sly
and Robbie, Dennis Brown, InI Kamoze:
they're all there to sing and chant the
classic conscious anthem "Get Up, Stand
Up".
The year is
1985 and the television program is called
"The Tube". The program was
interesting, as many bands and artists would
show up to perform live before the studio
camera's.

MIKEY DREAD
& MATIC HORNS - BARBER SALOON (LIVE)
DUBROOM
VIDEO REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 2007 - After doing a little
free style toasting sound check in the
1970's, the check became a tune, yes even
one of Mikey Dread's classics!
This video
records Mikey Dread as he performs with the
Matic Horns. Before the music starts,
though, the "Dread at the
Controls" has a declaration to make.
Don't worry about the security guards, feel
free to light up when you can!

MATUMBI -
EMPIRE ROAD (1978)
DUBROOM
VIDEO REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 2007 - Centered around Dennis
Bovell who would also become known for his
production works for Linton Kwesi Johnson,
Matumbi was one of the hardest Roots Reggae
bands to arise in the UK during the 1970's.
In this
video, we will meet Matumbi as they perform
for a UK audience back in 1978. While the
people dance, the singers sing conscious
lyrics over the vibrant music.

LINTON
KWESI JOHNSON - INGLAN IS A BITCH
DUBROOM
VIDEO REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 2007 - When LKJ started to
chant his in-depth poems over heavy drum and
basslines, the genre of DUB POETRY was born.
Strong,
conscious words form the bulk of Linton
Kwesi Johnson's oeuvre. His poetry will go
straight to the heart of the matter,
whatever angle of downpression and other
forms of (social) injustice the mighty DUB
Poet will cover.
