DUBSTA CHAPTER FOUR
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, October 2008 - From Studio One to the current House studio's and online artists: everything DUB is in the fourth chapter of the excellent DUBSTA series. Once again, a deep deep excursion into DUB space.

We definitely go beyond the realm of what is generally considered to be Reggae Music in this one hour mix of some very extra-ordinary material. A bit of R&B and House isn't avoided at all by the selectors, which makes the (90%) Reggae even more strong.

After all, the theme of the Dubsta series is obviously DUB: from the ancient times when it was born to the present times wherein the art and technique is present in musical styles that have in themselves nothing to do with Reggae at all.

The selectors behind the Dubsta series don't go too far beyond the realms of Reggae, however. In this mix, there is even a Dub version from a track by the 1980's band "The Police" which cannot be defined other than contemporary Dub Reggae.

That is, just after one of the hardest online Dub artists at the moment (Fried Wire) gives acte d' presence with another crucial piece of original Dub Reggae: another highlight in this highly interesting and well-balance one hour selection of dub, dub and dub.

Finally back from my Macintosh melt down… here’s the next installment in the Dubsta series put together on two 1999 Power Mac G4’s to give it a more old school flavour…

(Speaker warning: a mixture of formats & very old hardware could create sound level fluctuation)

“….this is not MONO….this is not STEREO….this is for folks with MORE than two ears!”

another one from the dusty Megatrip vaults…

this was originally intended to be a “split” mix with an online friend of my brother’s - but the kid never came through… so the second half of this was recorded back in October of 2002, while the first part was added on later in May of 2003.

Solid Steel used 30 minutes of this mix for their December 01.2003 show… and I re-used a couple tracks from it for my latest Solid Steel retrospective mix earlier this year (I Must Insist You Eat Steel).

hope you like it… enjoy!

STOP THAT TRAIN - 15 - VERSION BIG FI - KILLA SELECTION

Another tuff selection moon-hops it's way to the b00gie shed from the Version Big-Fi crew. Kicks off (and it's seriously kicking this mix...) with an absolute belter 'you are not alone' - apparently a track from their upcoming album, Crux Collide Hybridize, due for release sometime this month - rumour has it there's a limited dub album being given out with it too - all I can say is.... BRING IT ON - MORE FIRE!

But for now listen and enjoy this killa selection - soona or later these guys have gotta get that soundsystem out there firing up and down........ the clubs and festies need it bad!
