Thanks! V much looking forward to these. Judging from the reaction upthread I'm sure a third volume would be popular...

awesome! thx for the links
― moullet, Wednesday, 13 July 2016 21:04 (seven years ago) link
full disclosure this mix is heavier on the roots and less so on the dub side, I wasn't too strict about style, was going more for consistent tone and content etc
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 13 July 2016 21:10 (seven years ago) link
Love these mixes too. Thanks for sharing. Don't think I had Vol.3.
A few years back I made a little fade in/fade out mix of some dub/roots tunes. I may have posted it before but since folks are digging this vibe I thought I would toss it out again.

Add mine to the voices eagerly anticipating checking these mixes out. Thanks to both of you for those.
In the meantime just wanted to say I was really touched by Beres Hammond's Rockaway:

Maybe kind of corny but I feel like that message really resonates right now.

meant to post this last week, i heard this eek a mouse tune during a reggae program on one of my local college radio stations, i was impressed esp not being very familiar w/ eek a mousehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Dmxg3nEQIs

produced by linval thompson, roots radics are backing band
dude is a legend obviously but ... tbh that goofy name has always put me off
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 25 August 2016 21:13 (seven years ago) link
ha me too, then i heard this and in search of that starker, sparser post-roots early dancehall sound i started to get really intrigued
― marcos, Thursday, 25 August 2016 21:15 (seven years ago) link
Wa Do Dem is a classic, especially of that particular sound. check out "Ganja Smuggling"

good footage! what's the year?
― marcos, Friday, 13 January 2017 18:06 (seven years ago) link
good number of white hippies in the audience
no idea what year this is, late 70s by the look of it
― Οὖτις, Friday, 13 January 2017 18:09 (seven years ago) link
Think that footage is from the undercard of the One Love Peace Concert from '78, most famous for this:

It passed me by when it was announced, but VP has reissued Pick A Dub by Keith Hudson, with the original artwork and a second LP of the vocal versions.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 13 January 2017 20:22 (seven years ago) link
Trenchtown Mix-Up by the Gladiators has to be one of the best reggae albums in history. Literally no bad songs on it at all. How can I lobby for a reissue?
― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Monday, 16 January 2017 12:00 (seven years ago) link
It's still available isn't it? On CD at least. It's a good one for sure.
I see that "Madness" by the Maytones is being reissued soon, that's a belter.
― Tim, Monday, 16 January 2017 12:06 (seven years ago) link
yeah i meant on record. it's just brilliant.

I can't think of any other reggae song I've heard that uses that particular trick, it really jumped out at me. got a few more 45s recently

hah, i bought Blackheart Man back in the day especially because I liked the metalness of the cover
― Shat Parp (dog latin), Wednesday, 1 November 2017 15:53 (six years ago) link
solid album
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 15:54 (six years ago) link
blackheart man is excellent, i tend to go to that one more than the actual wailers albums
― marcos, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 17:33 (six years ago) link
the Wailers' collective discography (early rocksteady stuff, Lee Perry era, the two with Bob, and then Bob, Peter and Bunny's solo albums) represents a pretty weird cross-section of reggae when you think about it. I'm not sure what I like the best, but it's probably Catch a Fire and Burnin'.
