His live performances the ones I've seen are as rough as a badgers arse. I personally think that is one of his best tunes and albums. What's your thoughts on Peter Tosh? Some of his solo stuff is awesome. The reggae cover of Johnny B Goode is out of this world. I hope you have heard it? 😀 As Peter Tosh said "do not criticise it" 😁 Riff Machine and IRaMPaGe 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRaMPaGe 3,109 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 13 years later and it's still the best dubstep remix I ever heard. 💣💥 Stephen Marleys original reggae tune mixed. "Raggastep" is the term. Riff Machine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also some UK Ska that's kinda punkish as well? Maybe like The Specials and Madness etc. It has the undertones of the roots, but a different flavour. That's the wonder of music there is so much to explore! 😎 I do like the roots sounding stuff and the dub styles. phil bottle and Riff Machine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRaMPaGe 3,109 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Always loved this tune, it's definitely from the 70's and would be roots? Absolute banger tho. Riff Machine and phil bottle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listened to a few tracks from that Culture Shock you posted, will need to listen to it all the way through. It sounds really good. Probably top tier of it's sub genre I'm thinking. Has a proper sound to it and you can hear the Ska and the punk in it. Always interesting to learn more as your knowledge is vast and educated on such matters. 😊 Riff Machine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRaMPaGe 3,109 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 @phil bottle This is good as well, sounds like "old dub" are most dubs primarily instrumentals? Riff Machine and phil bottle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice tune👊 Yeah, a dub version is pretty much a remix of a A side in the old days. Producers would normally drop elements of the song in an out of the mix. I'm a big fan, King Tubby was one of the original guys for that along with Lee Perry. They also play around with frequencies. Jah Shaka would often just make the bass vibrate your whole body (and he's a Spurs fan) at his dub nights. A mate of mine from school runs a reggae label and reissues old 7 and 12 inch vinyl so I'm lucky I got to know this music.

Think King Tubby has a hand in that tune as it's from African Brothers meet King Tubby in dub. Lee Scratch is legendary as well, but your right him and King Tubby were the first 2 that I know of. Almost like the Godfathers of dub. It just hits a different way, I love it when the bass gets a bit wobbly as well. I also respect the fact that the dub pays homage to the original and doesn't destroy the roots. Dub nights sound superb, sadly nothing like that way up here in the Highlands of Scotland. A bit off topic, but Rusko the producer an early pioneer in dubstep is more modern and electronic in the 2000's. This tune here absolutely slaps. It's more modern dub, but I think it has some elements of it with modern sounds and equipment. See what you make of it Phil. phil bottle and Riff Machine 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
