Just heard this. The dub half is superb.

Never heard of this artist before yesterday. Seems to be one of those guys who can sing over a variety of styles, soul, jazz, reggae. I think this is one of the nicest lovers rock tunes ive heard in a long, long time. A soulful voice on a lovers rock tune is a perfect match for me.

I know practically nothing about the history of dub plates so do those in the know agree with this article? Chappers, DiP, 1066familyman?

Nice article Buzzer, thanks for posting.

That thing Ricky Trooper says about the right tune at the right time nails it for me.

Check this clip out from around 4:30. Rodigan reaches for his Tenor Saw duplate, Barry G just plays Ring the Alarm straight, but see what Rory does





The Nitty Gritty dubplate he plays gets the biggest forward of the evening!




And here's the full dubplate to enjoy.

 

[1066familyman]

I thought this would be a nice background story thing to include here as I've just mentioned Tenor Saw's classic Ring The Alarm, and sort of following on from the article Buzzer put up.

I have the album with this interview on and it's a really well put together tribute album. Luckily the clip I was after is on youtube too.

Sadly, killed .. 'allegedly' by people after a show in the USA, to avoid paying him. Ring the Alarm was a sound system anthem. Still is..

Does make for sad reading. Left for dead at the side of the road in Texas.

Hugh Mundell, 21, gunned down whilst in a car with Junior Reid. Rumours it was over an argument about a fridge.

Jacob Miller, 27, died in a car accident. Rumours that he was delayed treatment in hospital due to being a rasta.

Garnett Silk, 28, died trying to rescue his mum from their burning house after a gas bottle explosion.

Dirtsman, brother of Papa San, 27, gunned down.


Those are just the ones that immediately spring to mind. Sufferers music that's for sure.

List is horrendous Peter Tosh, Lucky Dube, Nitti Gritti (allegedly by Supercat).
We did a party in Somerleyton Flats in Brixton. Of course the lift didnt work. Myself and our singer, Reuben Da Silva, were carrying a bass speaker up the mostly unlit stairs. Turned a corner, and came face to face with Nitti Gritti swinging a very large blade on the end of a chain, and appeared to be about to rob us, until Reuben recognised him, I didnt. have a clue who it was, and was praying to all the gods. Reggae is a dangerous game.
We went to get paid after a dance in Cardiff, and the manager just pullled a gun and told us to **** off. We did.

Made thread so not to clutter up board. Posts probably irratate the hell out of non reggae lovers plus as I was using megaupload in the old thread, pretty pointless dragging that back up.

If you remember Denroy Morgan the ska singer, well these are his kids. Talented family who have become a major band over the last few years. These are the older kids...the younger family members go by the name of LMS and are normally on tour with them, although they favour more towards hiphop.

I don't know if it's your thing but a mate of mine is part of venum sound & doors the real reggae rock show on 1 Brighton FM. They've got mix clouds to download etc. I can't really comment on quality - not really my thing

I was lucky enough to spin a few tracks in between Morgan Heritage & Madness on the Lions Den stage at the Boomtown Festival this year (which gives me the perfect excuse to peddle out the YouTube clip......!!)
