Your basket is empty
Deep and intense, with Augustus Pablo and the Barrett Bros on call, god-like Tubbys mixing, canonical rhythms, Big Youth and Horace Andy in the mix. One of the top five dub albums of all time. Fifty years old!
The dub counterpart to his From One Extreme To The Other album.
Tormented, darkly mystical, and unmissable.
Tremendous, tormented, abject vocal to Melody Maker, with a heavy dub — for the label Hudson co-ran with Gleaner journalist Balford Henry.
Via the safe hands of Dub Store in Tokyo.
Two magnificent, seething sides of rawly militant witness by the Black Morphologist of Dub.
Nuh Skin Up sets his livid, reeling reasoning to a churning, hypnotic Soul Syndicate rhythm, teeming with star-wars bleeps and lasers, and sick, parping synths.
‘The memories of some bad things will never erase… We’re angry. You make us angry.’
Felt We Felt The Strain picks up the pace with no alleviation of hurt and fury. It’s a dubwise steppers, sharpened by Chinna’s guitar, with unheimlich organ; haunted throughout by a kind of swirling white noise in the background, like a tornado of tortured souls.
Long-term Shaka staples in these extended mixes.
Utterly singular, compelling and unmissable; more timely than ever.
‘Nuh skin up’; ‘be serious’.
Stark, deranged, unmissable JA funk, mining Slippin’ Into Darkness, by War. Still totally knockout after nearly fifty years.
Plus Horace and Chinna on the flip, laying some calming homilies over a sobered-up version of the rhythm.
Two brilliant contemporary roots productions birthing Out On The Floor’s new imprint. Here, Tuff Rock aka East Londoner Mikey Roots masterminds a raw, luminous cut of Keith Goode’s Jah Jah Deliver Us.
Ace late-seventies roots featured in the Deep Roots documentary — so coolly poised — from the Breakfast In Bed hit-maker. Tough Dennis Brown composition, written specially for Sheila.
The utterly brilliant Roy Samuel Reid at the top of his game, riding tougher-than-tough Nineys. Back in.
Roy Reid (a JA customs official) on the politics of national currencies, with a dub getaway to Ruritania — from The General double.
It’s a shame he doesn’t stick to his theme, instead wandering into auto-pilot, but we’d happily listen to the great man recite a parking ticket.
