FROM THE EDITOR

WWW, July 12 - "Dubbing is A Must", as I and I are used to say after Pablo Moses, and in this edition of Dubroom Weekly by far the biggest portion is reserved for this discipline within Reggae that gave name to this very website. Free and legal tracks from Alpha and Omega, Vibronics, Dubmatix and the Abassi-Allstars are reviewed, as well as Net Albums by BR Stylers, Dancehall Dub Plates by Mykol Orthodox and two crucial compilation albums. On top of that an extra-long Podcast containing some of the best material that's out there in free and legal MP3 Cyberspace!

There's a lot of crucial stuff available free and legally for the lover of the better DUB and (other) Reggae, as visitors of the Dubroom can know by checking out our MP3 reviews at mp3.dubroom.org. Entitled "Reggae Blessings From 21st Century Cyberspace", the Dubroom Podcast that comes with this edition of Dubroom Weekly shows it in just over two hours worth of material.

The rest of the reviewed material too, by the way.

Dub Plates by Alpha and Omega, two album tracks by Vibronics and a relatively new release by Dubmatix in a cooperation with the Abassi All-Stars: UK DUB at it's finest, you can say. EuroDUB by the amazing Italian band BR Stylers, a very interesting compilation selected by US based Kris Naphtali complete a truly interesting addition to your DUB collection.

There's more: an album centered around the German-based Reggaeband Firetime much in the style of contemporary Jamaican Roots Music we know by such as Luciano. Last, but definitely not least is the collection of Dub Plates by known names such as Burru Banton, produced by South-American Mykol Orthodox.

All in all, I hope that you find the music as crucial as I do. The producers and artists are truly talented, and they are blessing us with making all this music available for free. Truly Reggae Blessings from 21st Century Cyberspace.

One Love, Give Thanks,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)

WWW, July 5 - With eight EP and Full length Net Albums reviewed, two Dancehall tunes from the Jamaican Dancehall vocalist E-Dee, two previously unreleased tunes from yours truly on the very nice French TALAWA website, I hope that you're not disappointed with this edition of Dubroom Weekly.

For there's more, and it's a brand new episode of Radio Dubroom. Entitled "A Conscious DUB Experience", it's a twenty-two track selection of mostly vocals with their DUB versions, as well as a very rare Yabby You Dub Plate and an old radio recording with Prince Far I.

As said, also two tunes by the Jamaican Dancehall vocalist E-Dee. He is featured in the American R&B Billboard charts and is increasingly popular in both the Dancehall as well as the R&B scenes. Two free and legal tunes!

I cannot say enough good about the Spanish based Hotdrop Reggae Band, and so I won't right here. After all, the raving review in this edition speaks for itself. That is a band which needs a lot more attention than they do now inna Cyberspace.

Other than a review from the Hotdrop CD "Ready", this edition also has a very healthy portion of DUB for you, coming in the form of reviews from yet another load of crucial releases from the Net Label front. More than recommended, everything!

One Love, Give Thanks,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)

WWW, June 12 2010 - Currently, there's a world-crisis and this is not bypassing the European continent either. Last week, there was elections in my country (The Netherlands) and as I write this Belgium is going to the voting boxes too.

Not everything in Europe is bad these days, though. This week, Dubroom Online focuses on EURODUB and Roots Music, as the title of the podcast that comes with this edition already indicates.

But that's not all. Most of the MP3 tracks reviewed are produced on the European continent too. No less than four Net Albums which can all be considered necessities in the collection of every self-respecting collector of free/legal (DUB) Reggae Music!

Enjoy Eurodub and Roots!

One Love, Give Thanks,

WWW, June 7 2010 - The characteristic map of Italy is one of the most recognized in the world and it's not on the cover for this week's edition of Dubroom Online for nothing.

First of all: the two editions of the Italian DUB Community compilations don't just give a perfect insight into the growing DUB scene in Italy, it brings the listener an enormous collection of almost 70 crucial (DUB) Reggae tracks, all for free! Add on top of that the other Dub release by Dub Engine from Bologna and you know why the Italian map is on the cover this week.

Then, there is the third edition of the Radio Dubroom podcast which I personally feel much better about then about the second one. It starts with a selection of contemporary Jamaican Roots Reggae t6racks, only to go over into some crucial selections from the Italian DUB scene, as well as Poland, France and Spain.

You might like the Versionaries, when you're into listening just what Reggae does with other styles and vice versa. The Sydney-based collective surely know their Reggae and they love their Reggae too, as we can hear in the three tunes you can download in this edition of Dubroom Online.

Jah Willing, See You Next Week!

Dubroom Online, Edition May 31 - June 6 2010

FROM THE EDITOR

WWW, May 31 2010 - Greetings once again, and thanks you very much for your interest in this edition of Dubroom Weekly, wherein we've got a truckload on free and legal MP3's as well as another episode of the brand new Radio Dubroom podcast series. But that's not all...

During the traditional spring clean-up, I came across 40 wave files of musical works, of which most were only released in the MP3 format. We're talking about stuff dating as far back as the year 2000, wherein broadband Internet wasn't as common as today. Next to these files, I also found a previously unreleased discomix and a nice Jah Roots Dub from a couple of years ago. ZIPFILE (1.9 GIG)

A second episode of the brand new Radio Dubroom podcast series, wherein we have a special attention for a recent release called LEGACY, containing some very crucial productions and other musical works by Yabby You, the Iriginal Jesus Dread. This week's episode of Radio Dubroom plays the complete promo package in the memory of one of the Reggae legends which I personally feel much inspired by. Alongside some other interesting material, that is.

I sincerely hope that your collection of music is enlarged after your visit to this page, and I hope even more strongly that you at least consider buying some of the material which is so graciously given to the online community by Internet-loving labels.

One Love, Give Thanks,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)
