Grant Phabao and Djouls 21st Century Roots Dub Vol 2

Grant Phabao & Djouls - 21st Century Roots Dub Vol.2

Grant Phabao and Djouls - 21st Century Roots Dub Vol.2 (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2010-01-19 This speedy dub mix is among my favorites. It's dub, but not the lazy kind, and doesn't venture into techno-dub at all. This is heavy Jamaican high-octane dub and even goes Tropical disco dub at one point in there! Enjoy the vibes!! [comment faire?/how to?] Tracklisting : 01. The Revolutionaries - Kunta Kinte (DJ Kentaro Tuff Cuts Mix) (from 'Kunta Kinte Remixes' 12 inch, 2009 / Pressure Sounds) » More info on parisdjs.com « 02.

King Tubby & The Dynamites - Sound System International Dub

King Tubby and The Dynamites Sound System International
King Tubby & The Dynamites - Sound System International Dub
(CD/LP) Pressure Sounds PSCD0065/PSLP0065, 2009-09-19

Sound System International… this Clancy Eccles produced dub set is so incredibly obscure that it has even the most serious collectors scratching their heads. The set features ten early King Tubby's deconstructions of a selection of Dynamites rhythms produced by Clancy Eccles where Tubbs spins the tunes around and comes up with something very, very special. Anyone who really wants to now what King Tubby's mixing style was all about need look no further as he takes on these straight forward reggae songs turns them upside down, inside out and then takes them on to somewhere completely different...

Delroy Wilson Remixed By Prince Jammy - Dub Plate Style

Delroy Wilson Remixed By Prince Jammy - Dub Plate Style
(CD/2xLP) Pressure Sounds PSCD0064/PSLP0064, 2009-08-08

Delroy Wilson was one of the truly great voices of Jamaican music. He started recording in the mid sixties and continued right up to his untimely death in 1995. The tracks on Dub Plate Style were originally released on an album called Twenty Golden Greats. At first glance the material on this album might appear unremarkable. You will have seen many of the tracks on singles or on other albums and, in most cases, heard the majority of these songs elsewhere. But what you will not have heard is these particular songs mixed by Prince Jammy. At the time Jammy was working extensively with the producer of this set, Bunny 'Striker' Lee, and was at the beginning of his own production career. Totally in tune with what was currently being played on Kingston's sound systems. These mixes were clearly aimed at a sound system audience. Consequently they are mixed quite differently from other versions of the same songs. Deep heavy mixes that have a rawness and sparseness that were perfect for Jamaican Sound Systems. That was the original target audience for the mixes on this album.

Various - Once Upon A Time At King Tubby's

Once Upon A Time At King Tubbys
Various - Once Upon A Time At King Tubby's
(CD) Pressure Sounds PSCD0062, 2009-03-09

'Once Upon A Time At King Tubby's' captures from start to finish the full story of the most well known, and certainly the wittiest, of all the wars of words that the highly competitive Kingston recording scene ever produced. I Roy and Prince Jazzbo were the principal players aided and abetted along the way by an assorted bunch of onlookers and minor characters who all helped the drama to unfold. Bunny 'Striker' Lee was the catalyst that started this particular schism and the producer of all but one of the tracks.
