Audio (Reggae): Thread for all things reggae

[EDS]

Not to sure who will be interested in this but it is a very interesting listen.

Gone to soon-David Rodigan looks back at the life of the 'Dub Originator', Osborne Ruddock, AKA King Tubby; and the influence his music has on what we listen to today.

Through talking to his friends and colleagues, we find out how this electrical engineer became the Godfather of Dub. You can also expect to find out about the massive part dub has played in sculpting the dance music scene in the UK.

With contributions from Bunny 'Striker' Lee, King Jammy, The Mad Professor, DJ Hype, Lemon D and Dillinja, Pinch, Stylo G, Damien Marley and more

Nice one... yeah, he's cool....
When I was living in Frankfurt, he did a wicked football related dub for the local sound...

'I remember the day, Frankfurt win the cup!' :-D

I first came across him when he done his tune-My England story.

I do not know why I just feel slightly uncomfortable(if that is the right word) with an English boy from Ipswich talking with the Jamaican accent.

 

[daveinprague]

See it alot though dont you... even with black MC's born and bred in the UK..
Think Saxon Studio DJs mostly worked with London accents...smiley culture, tippa irie etc.. .

It was England story my Frankfurt Sound friends (Soundbwoy Destiny) had his dubplate on, as mentioned earlier...'I remember the day, Frankfurt win the cup'... cant think of too many football related tunes now I think about it..

They started in Lewisham so would have London accents, one of my favourite tunes is Tipper Irie's "hello darling" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuoZmnClmMA I never knew the history of Saxon studio when I first heard that song so was surprised and pleased to learn they were from the same rough area as me. I can understand the black kids talking some patwa as they hear it from their parents but white kids, well it just makes me cringe. My son could not talk like that in front of me. Dont get me wrong I have picked up a few words but never would I say them in an accent, as I say to me it is a bit cringe worthy.
I think that is why someone like Rodigan, even though a selector was accepted over there is because he never tried to be something he was not. Then again Mighty Crown are Japanese and they all talk in Patwa, but then again they get insulted something chronic in clashes about it.

patois....you ****ing din.

Thank you for pointing that out. Is there anything else you wish to add or are you only good at spellings

 

[sydney]

only the fact that you are lost....again....oh and you're loose....sorry. rotflmao....

 

[daveinprague]

Simon from Mighty Crown screams too much haha
Quite like Saxon, although, they dont seem to do much these days...but thats the UK generally right now...
When I was in Sound in the 80s... if somebody told me, that in the future, an all white, German sound system, with a female selector would win a soundsystem world clash
i would have called for a doctor... I can think of more German sounds than I can think of English sounds right now, and thats quite sad...
Patois with a heavy German accent is pretty funny though.....

Ive just noticed that Channel One soundsystem are at Concorde2 this friday, so will probably be passing through that..

 

[sydney]

if you want a bit of cutting edge look for trentmoller dub/moan live , bird from royskopp on vocals....it's nice and white......give it a listen ...i'm fuct....tfb...

The only really strong sound in the UK right now are Love injection as they seem to beat all contenders, there is not really anyone coming through to challenge them either. The thing is though kids with any musical talent nowadays are attracted to grime as they want to get paid. Even though how they can call grime music is another thing.

Yeah, the Birmingham lot...xtc 4x4 from Birmingham flattered to decieve for a while... its a shame...
It seems that a lot of the older sounds, Saxon, Unity, et all, are doing shows, but nobody coming through, like you say.
All the kids from our soundsystem members went into other music...DnB (my OWN daughter!!!!), Dubstep etc..
