Aweesomeness. I like the mix from the Abbyssinians Mabrak (acoustic version no less!) into Trinity Psalms (which is based on the Mabrak riddim)…
What a great mix! Also many thanks for the tracklist, love it!
I was just talking to Tom about where to start in DUB music. Thank you for making my day smoother at work 🙂
nice one dudes. i’m quite lucky to have a few great reggae music specialist shops here in brixton to dig in, its a pleasure sharing all this great music with y’all.
mr twon, if you’re just getting into dub, i have 3 other recent mixes up here you might like to check out………. http://dreammachinelondon.blogspot.com/2009/09/j5-cool-position.html
yeah this shit is really nice. i have to say, i’m jealous because reggae is one of the few styles of music i love that pittsburgh just doesn’t have in used shops. we never really had much of a carribbean immigrant thing going on here, and it shows in what actually shows up second hand.
My man! Appreciate the look!
yeah, you would not believe the pile of 45’s jonny had just from that one day I called out to him. I really wanted to go and find that shop the next day but didn’t have any time 🙁
and nice one jonny, been looking forward to this one!
infectious riddims jonny5! nothing beats old school roots and dub! This stuff has so many of the elements i crave in music. If the reggae forefathers listened to what masquarades under the name ‘dub’ today, i’ve no doubt they’d be moved to tears!
really enjoyed this dubby goodness, jamazin
nice one dudes.
as far as new reggae goes, i think there is some good stuff around still, although i would say there’s nowhere near the quantity of good releases being made that there were in the 60s and 70s (and 80s). The Sip-a-Cup records stuff is worth a check. I included the Winston Sax track on the mix, that came out fairly recently and I think that track is superb.
