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
 

Sad but true...
What does it do to you?

This Is Why I Am Getting Sick About The "Music" Assholes

Artists sign their rights away to the industry, the industry fucks the music lovers.




I say: boycot the assholes who sign their souls away and start giving attention to the REAL ARTISTS

ME ZION DREAD - YESUS KRISTOS GIVES A KNOCK
DUBROOM MP3 RELEASE

WWW, July 2010 - This hard-hitting DUB with nuff echoed and filtered vocal parts is a musical illustration of a scene in the old Book of the Apocalypse: Yesus Kristos giving a knock on the door fe true. Original Dubroom Hardcore Dub Style!

Indeed, there are many warmongers crying for more and more war even in the Name of the Divine Saviour. The louder they cry, the less chance they hear Yesus Kristos knocking on the doors of their souls. Will they cry until Jah shall come? Until that time, play this DUB with lots of bass and catch the knock!

Jah Roots - Whole Lotta Dub (2002)

JAH ROOTS - WHOLE LOTTA DUB (2002)
FROM THE DUBROOM STUDIO ARCHIVES

WWW, July 2011 - Once lost but now found: straight from the dusty corners of the Dubroom Studio Archives, where this recording has been mixed probably somewhere in the early years of the 21st century. It's an instrumental track with a whole lotta live Dub mixing by Messian Dread and some masterful keyboard works of Sure D over an Ire One Drop rhythm laid down by Imro Fedor on Drums and Erik on Bass.

You could argue, that the title is not really covering the contents of the track. After all, there is not a single instance in which the drum and the bass play without any other instrument rolling along. Therefore, as said, this is an instrumental track.

Sure D, the keyboard player, recorded several tracks into the -rather primitive- multitrack, all showcasing his talents and skill. The drums was recorded rather primitive, too. Having no budget at all, just two microphones were used and since there was no bass microphone present, the bass drum doesn't really come forward in the mix. Still, a tight drum and bass section can easily be discerned.

So, what about the title?

The answer is obviously in the mix itself. Even though the keyboards are never completely cut off, there is still a Whole Lotta DUB mixing going on. It was mixed live by Messian Dread, everything done in just one take, with the intention to apply subtle Dub mixing in order to emphasize the talents of the players of instruments.

No programming was involved whatsoever during the whole process. In fact, the computer is only used to record the mix and subsequent mastering. Definitely a rare recording, too good to not be shared with those that are interested in the Dubroom's history.

New Format Of mp3.dubroom.org Reaching Final Stages

WWW, June 29 2011 - Well, I finally am at the point wherein I expect to soon be ready with the renovation of http://mp3.dubroom.org.

In any case, new reviews can be added in the new format. "All" I still have to do is:

- transform the artist pages in the MP3 portal into the new format. Some already are in there: take a look at http://mp3.dubroom.org/scientist.htm or http://mp3.dubroom.org/mikeydread.htm and see how easy it is to get the tunes and/or read the reviews.
- Transport the podcast reviews to the new portal
- Make more pages for net labels and podcast creators

When everything is finished, I will delete the MP3 museum as well as some other features which are now incorporated in the new format in other ways. Basically, http://mp3.dubroom.org/ will contain a section of single track MP3 reviews, a section of reviews of Net Albums, a section of reviewed Podcast and artist pages, all of which are browseable. For example, when you go to http://mp3.dubroom.org/mp3downloads.htm you will find pages containing 25 links to tunes each. When you go to http://mp3.dubroom.org/mp3albums.htm you will find pages containing links to 10 albums on each page. The podcast section, as said, is close to empty still.

I hope you will find using http://mp3.dubroom.org/ more easy than before. I hope, Jah Willing, to be ready with all the artist pages within like seven days or so.

FAR RIGHT-WING ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERING PUTTING STRONG WEED ON HARD DRUGS LIST

WWW, June 24 2011 - A commission to advice the Dutch administration concerning the nation's drugs policy claims that cannabis with over 15% THC should be considered hard drugs in Dutch criminal law.

In interviews with Dutch public TV, the ministers of Health and Justice respond positively as they enter the parliament building to officially receive the advice from the commission.

When the advice is brought into law, this would bring the Netherlands back to the days of Reefer Madness as the world famous Dutch tolerance policy towards Cannabis would de facto end.
