THIS
CLAIMER |
This
section started in the previous century, when
buyable music usually came in the CD format or the
occasional vinyl. Things and times change, so this
part of the Dubroom now contains reviews of
buyable music in other formats like MP3 as well.
What hasn't changed: we do not get paid or forced
to review anything, so please consider the fact
that everything we review, we automatically
recommend.

MUFLON
DUB SOUND SYSTEM - IN LOVE WITH
RIGHTEOUSNESS
DUBROOM
MUSIC REVIEW |
WWW,
June 2021 - Hailing from Poland, the Muflon
Dub Sound System (MDSS) has been around in the
online DUB Artist community. And in the Outernet,
too. Centered around the Muflon Man, MDSS
had music released on Tanty Records' "Roots Of Dub
Funk" series and not in the least on online
platforms such as VERSIONIST.
"In
Love With Righteousness" is a
compilation of some of the best Dubwise
music that MDSS has released throughout the
2005 right through to 2014. The album is
released through Dubophonic, known for their
outstanding releases and continuing support
for the Online (DUB) Reggae Artist
Community. And coincidentally: the muflon
happens to be the national animal of Cyprus,
home of the Dubophonic Records label.

RUBI
DU - LOCKUP
DUBROOM
MUSIC REVIEW |
WWW,
March 2021 - As Babylon continues to do what
she always does, spreading lies and
confusion while keeping people in bondage
and slavery, the Most High has Roots
Daughter Rubi Du from New Zealand with a
message of encouragement for Jah people.
Raised by
her parents who were connected to the Twelve
Tribes of Israel organization, Rubi Du grew
up with Reggae Music and Consciousness.
She's been active in New Zealand as a
vocalist, and what a voice indeed.
This track,
a production of Rob Smith of Smith &
Mighty fame comming in several different
versions, is not just a massive UK Steppers.
It's a message of Truth that will make those
that love Jah step up in encouragement while
the wicked get another warning.
Get the EP
at BandCamp. A heartical recommendation from
us here at the Dubroom.

SHANTI-K
MEETS AKI MITTOO - BOTANICAL STORY/RUDIES
DUBROOM
MUSIC REVIEW |
WWW,
February 2021 - Meet Aki Mittoo, who has her
credentials as instructor and player of the
black and white keyboards from melodica to
piano. Meet Shanti-K, multi-instrumentalist
and producer since 1993. And meet Goja
Bongos, whose name tells it all. Two
riddims, six tracks. Read the review, listen
and get the music from BANDCAMP.com.
"Botanical
Story" is a Roots Reggae steppers,
solid. You'll instantly get the vibe. There
are vague resemblances of that other band
from the land of the Rising Sun, Dry and
Heavy. "Rudies" has a Ska flavor,
which matches the title very good as it
recalls the days of the Rude Boys.
Every track
comes in three different versions: an
instrumental track, where Aki Mittoo gets to
play over the riddim from the top to the
very last drop. A Dub version, where
Shanti-K shows his skill as producer and
engineer. Another Dub version where Goja
Bongos adds that Roots vibe which can only
be done by use of the Kete hand drums which,
by the way, he manufactures himself.
We at
Dubroom heartically recommend this release,
which you can get at Bandcamp and other
online music outlets.

RAS
MIDAS - WORLD BLOCK PARTY WITH DUB
DUBROOM
MUSIC REVIEW |
WWW,
January 2021 - In what is his first release
after ten years, Jamaican Reggae Veteran
singer RAS MIDAS comes with an upfull One
Drop style, both vocal and dub. From the
studio's of Harry J's in 1970's Jamaica to a
digital release at Bandcamp, Ras Midas
a.k.a. The Rastaman In Exile been through it
and that's a thing you can definitely hear.
For this
release, he hooked up with producer Mike
Lorello, who has worked with US based Reggae
Band Morgan Heritage but also with ones like
Cher and Whitney Houston. The music was
provided by Larry Lange, another well known
name in the general music business given the
fact he's had his notations at the Billboard
charts. Two veterans in their own way.
About the
track, Ras Midas said in an interview:
"This is a new evolution of my music. Everything cannot remain the same. I am just turning a new page in my song writing and composing and arranging. World Block Party is more contemporary reggae, at the same time keeping with my rootical message that people have known me for over the decades."
Well, that actually quite the case with
"World Block Party". It has the
contemporary sound, but with positivity you
don't always get with some contemporary
music. And that definitely has to do with
Roots.
