ADVANCE READING

Dubroom Online, Edition November 11 2009

"ADVANCE READING" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 11 2009 - Preferably, the Dubroom Online editions are prepared about a week before they're published, and reviews can be prepared up to a month in advance.

This column, for example, was actually written on November 6.

There's a small group of people who could read this column, or Dubroom articles and of course the reviews for that matter, before they're featured in Dubroom Online.

You can find them in a special forum called "pre-publications" on the Dubroom Message Boards.

Visitors of the Dubroom Message Boards and members who just registered but didn't post, won't see them, but those who post on the fora can.

One Love, Give Thanks,

JAH FREE

Dubroom Online, Edition November 10 2009

"JAH FREE" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 10 2009 - He worked with them all: Mad Professor, the Revolutionary Dub Warriors, Iration Steppers, Zion Train, Conscious Sounds, Vibronics, and the rest.

Ever since he started working in the UK DUB scene, Jah Free's musical productions have been of a consistent quality in strength, power and impact. He says this about it himself:

"All the works done and inspiration given is for the greater glory of the creator JAH RASTAFARI! ONE LOVE TO ALL NATIONS AND RIGHT THINKING PEOPLE. UNITY IS STRENGTH!"

Whatever the case, I think that it cannot be denied or ignored that there are countless artists and producers within Reggae and Dub who lift up the Creator by His name Jah.

Jah Free being one.

ENOS MC LEOD

Dubroom Online, Edition November 9 2009

"ENOS MC LEOD" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 9 2009 - In case you wondered who Enos Mc Leod is, other than the singer of which the Dubroom Online editions currently features one free and legal MP3 a day, we also feature his very own Dubroom Artist Page as well.

Enos Mc Leod started at Studio One, sang with everyone from Gregory Isaacs to the Gaylads, produced Augustus Pablo, released more music as he worked at Joe Gibbs, and that's just a take from his impressive Reggae CV.

He is One Out Of Many, many Jamaican people involved in developing Reggae Music. The number of gifted and talented artists, producers and vocalists is countless and all of them need the credit that they actually deserve.

However, not all of them do get that credit. Some productions stay -for reasons unknown to most- in the obscure corners of dusty archives in offices of shady businessmen.

One Love, Give Thanks,
