The sleeve notes....
Well it's coming round to that time of year again - putting the sound systems & bad boy speakers out in the fields! Here's the next Dubsta installment - as usual a selection of old and new dubplates.
Big ups as always start with Tone of Version Big-Fi here with an exclusive re-rub-a-dub of Marley's 'Is this Love' (incidentally his Version Big-Fi were nominated for "Best Dub Recording Or Album" at the 2008 Reggae Academy Awards).
Big thanks also to Fried Wire / Jah Inspirazion from Mexico / Farm Fresh Sound System / Clint at the Peppermint Iguana HQ & Dubroom.org for giving the last two chapters excellent reviews (see below).....and of course all the operators at the b0x that keep it alive and b00ming!
As with before you’ll find there’s absolutely no structure or reason to the track ordering because it was very much a random pick and blend scenario - any connections between the tracks I would put down to the work of jah!
enjoy!
"....this is not MONO....this is not STEREO....this is for folks with MORE than two ears!"

"Because Dubbing Is A Must: 65 minutes of crucial Drum and Bass lines from the best of the online (DUB) Reggae artists to essential Dub from the days of old. Dubsta Chapter Three is out and you better get it while it's hot!
As we move from one crucial Dub into the next essential mix, jingles and soundscapes enter into what is another fine mix by the Dubsta crew.
We're treated to a wide variety of styles within the art called DUB. King Tubby's "Version 78 Style", for example: a militant almost punky riddim is flooded with cutting edge echo's. Or Fried Wire, one of the best of the online (DUB) Reggae Artist community, with a trippy excursion into DUB Space. Even the King of Reggae himself is present with an excellent remix by the Version Big-Fi crew of his track "Is This Love".
Dubsta Chapter Three Is A Must, like Dubbing Is A Must." [Dubroom.org/Messian Dread]

DUBSTA chapter 2 MP3 HERE @ b00mb0x
When (s)he knows his/her own business, that is...
It is said, that DUB originated in King Tubby's studio when he was doing a sound check and forgot to turn of the echo before pressing the "play" button. We all know where it went to, otherwise we wouldn't be checking out Dubsta's second Podcast anyway.
Chapter One introduced us to many of the originators of DUB: King Tubby of course, and Prince Jammy. We got a little taste of the fruits, too, but Chapter Two of Dubsta takes us even further down the road of DUB as we even transcend the realms of Reggae!" [Dubroom.org]

::: DUBSTA chapter 1 MP3 HERE @ b00mb0x :::
"Did King Tubby know, what he was listening to when he first heard the drum and bass with echo's on what was said to be a sound check in his studio somewhere in the late 1960's, early 70's?
Did he know, he was about to launch a completely new discipline in studio technology that would forever change the face of not just Reggae Music, but in fact all contemporary forms of (digital) Dance Music?
The answer we will probably never know.
We do know, that DUB indeed has become just that: the foundation for many styles as well as a discipline within Reggae Music that continues to puzzle the minds of many producers until this very day.
We also know, that this can all be experienced by listening to the first chapter of the two-part Dubsta Series.
After an initial introduction, we're taken straight to Jamaica where Prince Jammy and King Tubby give us some crucial DUB vibes, only to move forward to the UK where the Mad Professor is at the Control Tower and takes DUB even further.
Just three names, and don't think it's all about them either.
Dubsta Chapter One takes us to times and places where many don't think they can find some crucial DUB as their minds are mostly in the past anyway.

Found this HUGE Joe Gibbs podcast over at algoriddim:
"This show was inspired by the sounds of the man Joe Gibbs, alongside Mr. Errol T, who was his partner-in-crime. I basically was riding some of the riddims that Joe Gibbs, and his band known as the Professionals, created and recreated"
[December 12, 2003]
Joe Gibbs Podcast @ algoriddim [Mp3 + Listen here]
Joe Gibbs the BIG BIG legendary reggae producer passed away recently at the age of sixty-five - expect quite a few tribute posts going out from the boogie shed over the next few weeks....
"It was confirmed last night that Jamaican music lost another of its most influential figures when Joe Gibbs passed at the University Hospital of the West Indies on Thursday night after suffering a heart attack.
Born in Montego Bay in 1943, Gibbs (real name Joel Gibson) first became involved in Jamaica’s music business around the close of 1966, after being spurred by the sales of records at his newly opened TV repair shop at 32 Beeston Street, Kingston. He had only recently returned from America, where he had qualified as an electronics engineer, an education that was to prove invaluable throughout his new career. Aided and encouraged by Bunny Lee, Gibbs launched his Amalgamated label, with the enigmatic Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry engineering the sessions. Success was immediately forthcoming with releases featuring a variety of performers, most notably Roy Shirley, Errol Dunkley, Stranger & Gladdy, the Versatiles and the Pioneers. His dramatic ascendancy to the upper echelons of the Jamaican music industry was soon recognised by the Island/Trojan organisation, which launched a UK version of his Amalgamated imprint in 1968. Later that same year, Perry left Gibbs‘ employ to launch his own Upsetter the producer swiftly finding an able replacement in Winston ‘Niney’ Holness, who for the next couple of years ensured the hits continued unabated.
In 1970, Gibbs finally made his mark internationally, with his production of ‘Love Of The Common People’ by Nicky Thomas, which peaked at #9 in the UK that summer. By this time, Gibbs had introduced three further labels, Shock, Jogib and Pressure Beat, with a British version of the latter also inaugurated by Trojan. The producer had also opened his New York Record Mart at 11 South Parade, Kingston and set up his own two track studio at 17 Burns Avenue in the Duhaney Park region of town, from where over the next few years he produced a number of superb singles, including further releases by the likes of Nicky Thomas, the Inspirations, Max Romeo the Heptones and Peter Tosh.
Around 1972, Gibbs moved his base of operations to 20 North Parade, Kingston and over the ensuing months recorded a variety of artistes, much of which he issued on his new Joe Gibbs Record Globe label. Among those who cut material for the producer during this period were Dennis Brown (whose first version of ‘Money In My Pocket’ was a sizable Jamaican hit that year), Delroy Wilson and Big Youth.
In 1975 he relocated once more, setting up a sixteen-track studio and pressing plant at 24 Retirement Crescent, Kingston 5, where he installed former Randy’s sound engineer, Errol Thompson at the controls. For the next few years, the hits came thick and fast for the self-proclaimed ‘Mighty Two’, with the likes of Sylford Walker, the Mighty Diamonds, Jacob Miller, Junior Byles, Glen Washington and veteran DJ, Prince Far I among those to have their works produced by Gibbs and Thompson.
The pair also began working with Culture, releasing a number of hit singles by the group, culminating on their highly acclaimed 1977 album, ‘Two Sevens Clash’ album. The same year, Gibbs issued Trinity‘s hugely popular ‘Three Piece Suit’, a recording that utilised the rhythm of Marcia Aitken’s version of Alton Ellis’ ‘I Am Still In Love’. The success of the DJ’s cut led to a whimsical follow-up by teenage schoolgirl duo, Althea Forest and Donna Reid: ‘Up Town Top Ranking’. Despite the song’s lyrics being almost nonsensical to those unfamiliar with Jamaican patois, it breached the UK charts towards the end of 1977 and early the following year, hit the number one spot.
Meanwhile, Gibbs had resumed working with Dennis Brown, their relationship lasting until the close of the decade and spawning a series of major hits, including the singer’s up-dated version of ‘Money In My Pocket’, which broke into the British charts in the spring of 1979, eventually peaking at #14 in the national listings.
An integral ingredient in Gibbs‘ success throughout this period was the musicianship provided by his regular studio band, the Professionals, which at various times included such luminaries as Lloyd Parks and Robbie Shakespeare (bass), Sly Dunbar (drums), Earl ’Chinna‘ Smith (guitar), Gladstone Anderson (keyboards), Ruddy Thomas and Issiah ’Sticky‘ Thompson (percussion), along with a horns section featuring Tommy McCook (tenor sax), Bobby Ellis (trumpet), Vincent Gordon (trombone) and Herman Marquis (alto sax). The exceptional standard of musicianship was perhaps most apparent on the seminal four ‘African Dub’ volumes, issued during the latter part of the seventies.
In 1980, Gibbs produced J.C. Lodge’s international hit, ‘Someone Loves You Honey’, but the failure to pay song-writing royalties to its writer, US Country star, Charley Pride, proved disastrous and following a costly lawsuit, the producer went out of business and relocated to Miami.
He finally returned to making music in 1993, when he rebuilt his studio at 24 Retirement Crescent, reuniting with Errol Thompson, while also employing former Pioneers’ singer/producer, Sydney ‘Luddy’ Crooks to help oversee sessions. A series of worthy singles ensued, with Alton Ellis, Gregory Isaacs, Eric Donaldson and Tanya Stephens among those to work with Gibbs during this period, although the producer was never able to recapture the glory days of the sixties and seventies.
Around this time, he also began reissuing his back catalogue on his son’s Miami-based Rocky One label, while also signing a new deal with Trojan, who promptly began releasing his material in earnest on a series of compilations, primarily focusing upon his Rocksteady and early Reggae works. Later, he set up Joe Gibbs franchises in France and Brazil and as time went on, slowly clawed back some of the huge losses made as a result of the Charley Pride case.
During his lifetime, Joe Gibbs produced some of the finest recordings to see issue in Jamaica. His role in the development of Reggae during the sixties and seventies was immense and his passing yet another terrible blow to an industry that in recent years has lost some of its most influential and inspiring figures."
