Messian Dread Meets Zion Train - Dub Selections (EP)

MESSIAN DREAD MEETS ZION TRAIN - DUB SELECTIONS EP
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

WWW, April 2014 - Lost, but found and added with extra mixes: here is the musical result of the Dubroom's review of the Zion Train DUB Selections samples and loop DVD. Created stricktly with Proppellerhead's Reason (Version 3.0) and only a minimum use of additional sounds and instruments, this EP gives a good indication what can be done with the samples but equally provides a nice listening experience for those that love their DUB music.

Four titles and seven different mixes, with more than enough vocal parts, real horns and other instruments. Each with a solid drum and bass line, some of which you might recall from earlier Zion Train releases on one of their labels. The mixing style is obviously Messian Dread's, even though a more or less standard set-up was used for these tracks.

Unlike most of Messian Dread's releases, this one is not copyrighted under Creative Commons. So please do not re-distribute the album as such, but -of course!- feel free to add them to your podcast or radio show or DJ set.

Radio Dubroom 2014 Chapter 2: The Prophets Ride Again

THE PROPHETS RIDE AGAIN
RADIO DUBROOM 2014 CHAPTER 2

WWW, April 2014 - Serious DJ chanting by Tappa Zukie, Prince Fari, U Brown, Dillinger and Trinity. Essential singers , too: Michael Prophet, Linvall Thompson, Prince Alla, Junior Ross, Cornell Campbell, Horace Andy as well as Yabby You and the Prophets (who gave the title to this chapter). That is, next to the necessary heavyweight DUB mixing by none other than King Tubby, Prince Jammy, Ernest Hoo Kim and others. This is the second chapter of Radio Dubroom 2014!

The set starts off with an introduction DUB carrying the vocals of Michael Prophet. Linvall Thompson continues to set the tone with an excellent Discomix, just before a vocal, DJ and DUB by Yabby You, the Prophets, Trinity and King Tubby's. Thunder and lightning!

The second part is reserved for the DJ's. Roots and culture, chant it out and chant it loud loud: this is what Tappa Zukie, U Brown and other are doing and they are doing it on some heavyweight DUB fe true.

Heavyweight DUB is the topic of the third part: steppers and one drop rhythms with thunderous bass lines and skillful manual DUB mixing. This is not old skool style, this is old skool!

The last and fourth part of the set is a combination of singers doing their work and the DUB engineers doing the same: That's right: time for chapter and version, Discomixes, A and B sides combined. Horace Andy, Prine alla, Junior Ross and Cornell Campbell are there.

Radio Dubroom 2014 Chapter 1: Roots Principals

ROOTS PRINCIPALS
RADIO DUBROOM 2014 CHAPTER 1

WWW, March 2014 -  In this extra long chapter, Radio Dubroom returns with a strong selection of DUB and ROOTS. Almost two and a half hour of meditations, drum and bass lines, DUB mixing, everything selected and mixed in a non-stop experience for your listening pleasure.

The show starts off with a healthy portion of productions by the excellent Dutch producer Slimmah Sound, carrying the vocals of Kyle Sicarues and Lyrical Benjie. The latter, by the way, has some great web plates on his website of which we also play one ("Because You Don't Know"). 

Right after the deep DUB by Achille Studio, it's straight forward to a selection of some old and new tunes by UK based Vibronics and Russ D. Both are heavyweight producers and you can tell by merely listening to their works along with such vocalists as the sistren Dayjah and Sena, Kyle Sicarues (again) and Chezidek. Some vocals, many dubs, and you may have noticed the change into Steppers during this portion of the show.

Right after the Mad Professor, it's time for a BRAND NEW RELEASE BY STEPPAS RECORDS: ALPHA and OMEGA's THINGS GET HOTTER. A powerful tune indeed, consider that this is just one tune of the great new release. Check it out! Also check out the release by IZYAH DAVIS AND FULLNESS REVIEWED RIGHT HERE AT THE DUBROOM, of which you can hear two vocal and two DUB tracks. Stuff to consider indeed.

Some other tracks worth mentioning are Jah Rej's "Return of the Dub Man", a remake of an ancient MP3.com classic and ODG's "DUB Worries" which is a hard hitting steppers with vibes you just cannot miss. 

Be sure to get this chapter of Radio Dubroom, preferably play it loud with lots of bass and neighbors that like some crucial Dub and Roots Vibrations.

messiandread.dubroom.org Completely Updated!

WWW, March 25 2014 - Today I finished completely updating http://messiandread.dubroom.org with a new lay-out and removed all ads during the process. Hard working throughout the last couple of days, as hundreds of track pages and hundres more of several other pages had to be completely updated. The whole sub-site should now be ad-free and in new lay-out, with the exception of those Messian Dread articles that can be read at http://articles.dubroom.org (which is another huge one that has to be done in itself).

A couple of MP3 files that were missing have been uploaded to the Dubroom website, as well as a number of dead links and wrong links have been corrected. All track pages should now have accurate links.

So check it out: http://messiandread.dubroom.org (you might have to press F5 for the new look to appear

WWW, March 22,2014 - At the moment I am busy updating the entire Dubroom Website by removing the ads and changing the lay-out. For more information: http://dubroom.yuku.com/topic/3107/

I also hope to soon release another DJ Mix and start reviewing again.

One Love,
Messian Dread

Listen to this interview LYRICAL BENJIE Idren in Yesus and Reggae

Jah used my wife to show me this. Uplifting, showing what Reggae is to InI without apology! I would say, do not underestimate this, whoever you (think you) are. This is why I do Reggae, why Reggae is in me. When other reasons would be there, they are only serving that one reason. That one reason is that Reggae is just the way to express the faith and the Message. I can loose track sometimes but Jah always puts me back right there. I never met Lyrical Benjie in flesh but I am sure in spirit we do even though I am not aware of that in my flesh which cqarries sin next to my soul and spirit.http://dubroom.yuku.com/topic/2757

15 Years Of Dubroom - Flood of MP3 Reviews Coming (Jah Willing)

WWW, June 2012 - After almost a year of relative silence, the Dubroom will slowly start publishing new MP3 reviews starting June 15, 2012. Here's a small update from the Dubroom Webmaster concerning this and other issues related to the website and Messian Dread himself.
Greetings Massive!

It has been a long time since I've been reviewing MP3's and releasing podcasts, not to mention putting out my own material. Many reasons for this, some of which are still actuality. I did not have the time, energy or even inspiration to do what I've been doing these last 15 years. That's right, at the time I write this the Dubroom exists already for 15 years this very month!

Yesterday, I uploaded the first podcast after about half a year or so. I'm grateful that I could do it and hopefully I'll find more opportunity to mix shows. I also work on an incredible amount (talking in the hundreds possibly) new MP3 reviews of which you can get the first two tomorrow at dubroomreviews.blogspot.com. or http://dubroom.blogspot.com/. They will later be put on the mp3.dubroom.org website as well.

I hope to be able to provide you with two MP3 reviews per day for the coming months. Jah Willing, obviously. I am in a period wherein I know I have to take it easy, I call it a "partial sabbathical", and I know that Jah is not against this to put it this way. After 15 years, the Dubroom is still there and I do not think that it's wrong to spend time with friends and family as I am re-charging the battery after one-and-a-half decade.

One Love,
Messian Dread
