We kick things off in fine style with a massive dubwise selection from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2NIQQ1zSHg">Bass Explorer Sound System</a>'s flo.wise, representing with a superlative roots dub reggae riddim mix. Then no apologies for promoting yet another <a href="http://www.jahtari.org/artists/pupajim.htm">Pupajim</a> cut (after the two played on the last mixtape) What can i say? I'm still loving his voice! Similarly, yet another <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dreadsquadsoundsystem">Dreadsquad</a> track on rotation here, this time showing just how good he is at bringing the best out of a mix. This reworking takes the Skrillex/<a href="http://www.myspace.com/damianmarley">Damian Marley</a> anthem back to its reggae roots by removing all traces of that dubstep wob wob bass. You could almost say he's taken the Skrillex out of the track and come up with a masterpiece. Time for some digidub classics with <a href="http://mykalrosereggae.com/">Michael Rose</a> and <a href="http://www.williwilliams.com/">Willie Williams</a> both in full effect before taking a breather courtesy of King Tubby's Gold Dub. Then it's my very great pleasure to big up the mighty <a href="http://friendlyfiremusic.com/">Friendly Fire band</a> - I'm not just honoured to know them as friends but also one of their biggest fans. This single off the highly recommended <a href="http://friendlyfiremusic.bandcamp.com/album/balsall-heat">Balsall Heat LP</a> is one of the best things they've done. Much respect.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mrwilliamz.com/">Mr Williamz</a>' Sit Down Steady is more slackness than I'd usually play out but with such an infectious riddim you'll just have to ignore the lyrics. Then <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jahscreechy">Jah Screechy</a>'s Walk and Skank which I was reminded of by a recent remix of the track by <a href="http://baroquedub.co.uk/scripts/Version%20Big-Fi">Version Big-Fi</a>. This leads quite appropriately into another of their top class remixes - this time of <a href="http://www.mikkim.net/">MikkiM</a>'s Guns Of Kingston, itself a reworking of <a href="http://www.theclash.com/">the Clash</a> classic. Got to love reggae for its infatuation for version 'pon version! No apologies for featuring <a href="http://www.big-fi.co.uk/">Version Big-Fi</a> yet again, for me they represent all that's best in online music culture and they truly deserve every shoutout they get.<br /><br />Once more at risk of repeating myself, here's another choice performance from <a href="http://www.alborosiemusic.com/">Alborosie</a> - I'll let my Sicilian heritage excuse me for again plugging his music, but this track has such jump up hip-hop energy that it deserves the exposure. Then next up is another track from Prague-based DJ, producer and musician <a href="http://www.mikkim.net/">MikkiM</a>. He's not unlike <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dreadsquadsoundsystem">Dreadsquad</a> in flirting in the mainstream and a kind of upfront reggae that sometimes flies a little too close to handbags-in-the-air territory... what's no doubt great live party music can sometimes be a little too cheesy for me, but this track's got enough invention in its manipulation of sampled loops to keep things interesting.<br /><br />For this release I wanted to steer a bit further away from the usual safe reggae selections and what better way than to follow up all this breakbeat dancehall than with a <a href="http://ninjatune.net/artist/coldcut">Coldcut</a> track - these guys are unwittingly responsible for my love of dub reggae as I used to avidly listen to their <a href="http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?p=21880923#27">KissFM shows on Saturday nights during the 90s</a>. Their beats and sampling mayhem was followed in the schedule by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/NickManasseh">Manasseh</a>'s own radio show - which became my education in bass culture.<br /><br />Since things have descended into a bit of nostalgia, why not throw in some <a href="http://www.thestoneroses.org/">Stone Roses</a> and a dash of <a href="http://radiohead.com/">Radiohead</a>? The 90s was a massively influential period for me musically but I've never stopped looking out for good new music. The last two selections on this mixtape are a good reminder that something interesting is always out there waiting to be discovered... Firstly <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thehavanaboys">the Havanna Boys</a> come up trumps with a pretty good <a href="http://www.g-stoned.com/artists/item/27-kruder-dorfmeister">K&D</a> impersonation before we ride into the sunset with the wonderful latin electronica of <a href="http://www.cabosanroque.com/">Cabo San Roque</a> remixed by <a href="http://www.lucien-n-luciano.com/">Luciano</a>. Until next time.<br /><br /><br />With thanks to the original artists for their music and inspiration.

Christmas is also a time for celebrations and <a href="http://www.digitaldubs.com.br/" target="_blank">Digitaldubs</a> and YT get the party properly going with their hymn to sound system culture. Next up, <a href="http://standhighpatrol.com/" target="_blank">Stand High Patrol</a> presents the first of two vocal cuts from the immensely gifted <a href="http://uk.myspace.com/pupajimthedubcreator" target="_blank">Pupa Jim</a> - one of those distinctive voices that heralds a pure, must-watch talent. Next a nod to Brazil with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/djmarcelinhodalua" target="_blank">Marcelinho da Lua</a>'s jump up anthem - a good opportunity to send a shout out to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.411348675588187.94686.168240676565656&type=3" target="_blank">Munchbreak</a> who this year travelled out to Sao Paulo and have since been forging musical connections with bands and producers from this wonderful melting pot of a country (I wonder if Feva's been caning this one in his jungle set?). Another shout out goes out to the inspirational <a href="http://www.big-fi.co.uk/" target="_blank">Version Big-Fi</a> who for years have been releasing free music of the highest quality. Much respect. We're into old-school <a href="http://www.on-usound.com/" target="_blank">On-U</a> territory with 2Badcard's Equal Rights and Justice, then onto the second offering from Pupajim - this time backed by a production from the ever excellent <a href="http://www.jahtari.org/artists/disrupt.htm" target="_blank">Disrupt</a>. Can't get enough of that 8-bit goodness. Talking of talented producers, what a great reggae reworking of the <a href="http://lightintheattic.net/artists/398-wendy-rene/bio" target="_blank">Wendy Rene</a> Stax classic. I particularly like the politics of <a href="http://www.alborosiemusic.com/" target="_blank">Alborosie</a>'s flip side 'Tears'. Initially released in Dec 2010 and still all too relevant today, given the continuing financial crisis. From one great female vocal to another - <a href="http://dawnpenn.co.uk/" target="_blank">Dawn Penn</a>'s No, No, No, that killer <a href="http://saxonsound.net/" target="_blank">Saxon Sound</a> dubplate that always reminds me of great times at the Notting Hill Carnival. More happy remeniscences with New Zealand's <a href="http://www.pitchblack.co.nz/" target="_blank">Pitch Black</a> - purveyors of fine aotearoa dub - in full effect. We've been delighted to have a number of our good kiwi friends come and visit this year. How I still pine for the land of the long white cloud! Gregory Isaacs passed away a couple of years ago but his voice and presence is still a force to be reckoned with. Then more dancehall goodness with Red Dragon's Duck Dance - a bit of fun to get your booty moving. I'm conscious that recent mixtapes have stayed relatively safe in Dub/Reggae territory so here's an afrobeat inflected offering from the wonderful <a href="http://uk.myspace.com/maxfsnmusic" target="_blank">Blundetto</a> - an eclectic French collective who effortlessly straddle a wide variety of musical genres from reggae to soul and beyond. I was gutted to have missed <a href="http://www.realityshock.com/" target="_blank">Solo Banton</a>'s album launch party earlier this year at Birmingham's one and only <a href="http://pst-club.co.uk/" target="_blank">PST</a> - a club that's defined much of reggae culture in the city in recent years. Much respect to Pecker, Juggla and of course the entire <a href="http://www.jamjahsound.com/" target="_blank">Jam Jah</a> crew - Robin, Damon and co. Your conscious sounds are a true inspiration. Now that the party's in full swing, it's time to crack open another killer dubplate - this time from the <a href="http://uk.myspace.com/streetrockazfamily" target="_blank">Street Rockaz Family</a> and Ilements' take on the Man of the Living riddim. Then we go truly global with <a href="http://www.bole2harlem.com/home.html" target="_blank">Bole 2 Harlem</a>, a brilliant musical collaboration that fuses elements of Ethiopian music with American hip hop. Finally it's time to wrap things up with a wonderfully smooth dub from the <a href="http://www.gcorp.co.uk/news/" target="_blank">Groove Corporation</a> who year on year continue to release nothing but quality productions.<br />
<br />
As always, with thanks to the original artists for their music and inspiration. Support them by buying their music. <br />

What was once a regular monthly event has now lapsed into a yearly feast, but what a feast it is! A rich dub stew laced with a hearty dose of roots and culture, a sprinkling of dubstep bass and a dash of funky reggae. To kick things off <a href="http://www.ez3kiel.com/" target="_blank">Ez3kiel</a> and Manasseh brew up a potent psychedelic mix that sets the tone for the usual globetrotting adventure into rich sonic delights.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.juakalimusic.com/" target="_blank">Juakali</a>, a singer and MC from Trinidad currently based in Los Angeles, picks up the story with a heartfelt anthem that's both dark and brooding yet full of light and optimistism. Next up, Greek dub artist <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/vlastur" target="_blank">Vlastur</a> represents with fat slice of soundsystem friendly dub sprinkled with eastern string samples and beautifully shimmering delays.<br />
<br />
As Greece is feeling the brunt of the financial sector's uncontrolled, under regulated, self-serving greed - a tragedy that's callously leaving entire nations in its wake, it's time to speak up about exactly where money and priviledge come from. "How did you get your money, Sir? Where did you get your money, Sir? Who did you walk on? Who did you steal it from?" Sweet and true, from the Adrian Sherwood-produced album '<a href="http://www.jebloynichols.co.uk/music/" target="_blank">Longtime Traveller</a>' comes a truly prescient and heartfelt song full of sorrow but powered by the undeniable logic of a truth that's too authoritative to be ignored.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.midniteband.com/" target="_blank">Midnite</a>'s Pagan Pay Gone takes us deeper into a conscious meditation on the same theme. Their hypnotic chant is beautifully picked up by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolly_Mukherjee" target="_blank">Jolly Mukherjee</a>'s deep bass lament. Known as India's King of Strings, here he underpins his usual cinematic arrangements with fat bass and skanking guitars that take us on journey to sun-baked desert caravans full of eastern promise.<br />
<br />
From these evocative, exotic travels, Lady Ann brings things straight back to the here and now of street concerns with a great track from an unofficial special tour CD by Scicilian reggae superstar, <a href="http://www.alborosiemusic.com/" target="_blank">Alborosie</a>.<br />
Time to take a breather with an uncharateriscally laid back <a href="http://www.noiseshaper.net/" target="_blank">Noiseshaper</a> contribution before <a href="http://www.djriot.com/" target="_blank">DJ Riot</a> submerges us into deep aquatic dubstep territory. We emerge with <a href="http://soundcloud.com/freear" target="_blank">Freear</a>'s bootleg remix of Isrealites. Cheeky and fun, it bounces along with such pure joy that it's easy to forgive how overcompressed and raw it sounds (can't ask too much of a freebie mix). Although probably only meaningful to UK residents of a certain age it's hard to resist the nostalgic charms of those Vitalite samples!<br />
<br />
Time to get back to some proper roots and culture, first off with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zap_Pow" target="_blank">Zap Pow</a> on an infectuous funky reggae tip then courtesy of a classic Prince Far I & the Arabs instrumental cut. <a href="http://www.roots-archives.com/artist/107" target="_blank">Wayne Jarrett</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Sixteen">Earl Sixteen</a> bring up the rear before we wrap things up with a little known <a href="http://www.bobmarley.com/life_and_legacy_early_wailers.php" target="_blank">Bob Marley and the Wailers</a> downtempo doowop love song from their early rocksteady period.<br />

It's been a while since I've included this kind of electronic dub on one of the mixtapes. Then <a target="_blank" href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Army+of+One">Army Of One</a> pick up the pace with a wonderful reworking of Horace Andy's Every Tongue Shall Tell.<br /><br />Next up is the first of many selections from the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.junodownload.com/labels/African+Beat/">Africa Beat</a> label - I'm just loving the bouncy good vibes of their dancehall releases! The screw dem riddim here appears as an instrumental by <a target="_blank" href="http://pl.myspace.com/dreadsquadsoundsystem">Dreadsquad</a> followed up by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.myspace.com/perfectfromjamaica">Perfect</a>'s take.<br /><br />Then we're back to more traditional baroquedub vibes with Nick Holder's upfront UK steppers anthem followed neatly by a dubstep-ish offering from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.myspace.com/bdumbdumsound">Bdum Bdum Sound</a>. Regular listeners will be well aware of my slight loss of faith in the dubstep scene, but this track's got all the bassbin defying, floor shaking, head nodding fun I used to like in the genre. Top work!</p><p>Legends of the sound system, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irationsteppas.co.uk/dub.html">Iration Steppas</a> represent with a classic conscious lyrical outing. At a time when many are thinking about their New Year's resolutions, it's a timely reminder that dreads is an attitude not a fashion. Be it, live it - it ain't about what you look like but about who you are.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.myspace.com/perfectfromjamaica">Perfect</a> is up again with another riddim from Africa Beat, this one entitled Bad Boys 2009. I so wish I'd found this track a few months ago before <a target="_blank" href="http://baroquedub.co.uk/#news-66">my set at Shambala's Roots Yard</a> - this one's made for blasting across fields of tents at a festival! :) <a target="_blank" href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Burro+Banton">Burro Banton</a> jumps on the riddim without dropping a beat before switching to the Cherry Pie riddim with No problem. This is dancehall as party music rather than gangster slackness. As it should be!<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.myspace.com/juniorconyshantid">Junior Cony</a> was a relatively recent discovery for me. I can't recommend his blend of upfront dance dynamics and big dubs enough! This one grooves and powers along before propelling us into <a target="_blank" href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Little+John">Little John</a>'s floor pleaser. After what some purists might find a little too mainstream it's time to get back to some classic roots with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Freddie+McKay">Freddie McKay</a>'s timeless sermon and a perfect <a target="_blank" href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Johnny+Osbourne">Johnny Osbourne</a> double. You might say that they don't make 'em like that any more but the <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Professor">Mad Professor</a>'s mix of assorted <a target="_blank" href="http://www.roots-archives.com/label/300">Negus Roots</a> backing tracks is a great example of the next generation taking on the reggae mantle and reinventing it in exemplary style.<br /><br />I couldn't end this 40th anniversary selection without a nod back to the global perspective and world beats and breaks that have peppered previous compilations. What better example than <a target="_blank" href="http://caliajah.freehostia.com/">Caliajah</a> hip-hop/reggae crossover, or <a target="_blank" href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Djosos+Krost">Djosos Krost</a>'s wonderfully funky MPC workout, followed by some chilled beats from <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonderboi">Yonderboi</a>?<br /><br />We finish off with the ever prolific <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._Ward">M. Ward</a> whose <a target="_blank" href="http://www.myspace.com/sheandhim">She & Him</a> duets with actress Zooey Deschanel, I'd particularly recommend to fans of 50s nostalgia.

We're now truly in digi-dub territory with Radical Guru's steppers anthem leading the way for Israeli DJ <a href="http://www.kukantaiko.com/" target="_blank">Kukan Dub Lagan</a> here sampling what sounds to me like an uncredited <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ari_Up" target="_blank">Ari Up</a>, being as upfront and raw as only she can be. Regular favourites Radikal Dub Kolektiv pull off a neat 'half time da riddim' trick on the classic steppers beat, which brings us neatly back to some conscious one drop lyrics from Ras Michael, followed by more wise words courtesy of Rod Taylor.<br /><br />Sly & Robbie Meet The Mad Professor with a psychedelic mix perfect as an introduction to Heavyweight Dub Champion and Brooklyn-based <a href="http://www.drisrael.net/" target="_blank">Dr Isreal</a>. The ever prolific <a href="http://dubmatix.com/fr_home.cfm" target="_blank">Dubmatix</a> lightens the mood (check out the new album and his contribution on the forthcoming on Dub Side of The Moon remix album) then things start to wind down with Beres Hammond's Last War. From one great singer to another and a little bit more with a Michael Rose dancehall killa. Time to call it a day with Max Romeo's crowd pleaser. </p><br /><p>[01] <strong>Llwybr Llaethog</strong> - Mynd Adre' Dub (00:00)<br />[02] <strong>Linval Thompson</strong> - Jah Jah Dreader Than Dread (04:44)<br />[03] <strong>DEB Music Players</strong> - Ragga Muffin Style (08:15)<br />[04] <strong>Natural Vibrations</strong> - Reggae Singer (11:58)<br />[05] <strong>Fat Freddy's Drop</strong> - Cay's Crays (Digital Mystikz remix) (15:59)<br />[06] <strong>Fat Freddy's Drop</strong> - Cay's Crays (Kalbata remix) (20:19)<br />[07] <strong>Radical Guru</strong> - New Decade (original mix) (25:21)<br />[08] <strong>Kukan Dub Lagan</strong> - What a Day (30:05)<br />[09] <strong>Radikal Dub Kolektiv</strong> - Sackaj (36:26)<br />[10] <strong>Ras Michael</strong> - None a Jah Jah Children No Cry (43:33)<br />[11] <strong>Rod Taylor</strong> - Don't Give It Up (47:20)<br />[12] <strong>Sly & Robbie Meet The Mad Professor</strong> - Cool Dude (51:14)<br />[13] <strong>Dr. Israel</strong> - Survivor (54:07)<br />[14] <strong>Dubmatix</strong> - Aint Got No Love Dub (59:28)<br />[15] <strong>Beres Hammond</strong> - Last War (63:36)<br />[16] <strong>Michael Rose</strong> - A Little Bit More (67:39)<br />[17] <strong>Max Romeo</strong> - Chase The Devil (72:00)</p> <p><br />With thanks to the original artists for their music and inspiration.<br />Support them by buying their music.<br /></p><p><br /></p><h4 class="updatedBy">[<a href="http://baroquedub.co.uk/">more info</a>]</h4>baroquedubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965008706042120020noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27671168.post-34470566761917547042010-10-02T09:37:00.000+11:002010-10-02T09:38:45.201+11:00Baroque Dub Mixtape Thirty Eight [bdmx0038] Rub-a-Dub Stylin'<p>After last month's marathon DJ session, this mixtape has been stripped back down to a lean and mean selection of nothing but the very best in bass heavy anthems.

Got to say I was honoured that someone cared enough to be that much of a fan! It's something I'd thought about doing many times, but never actually got round to doing...</p><p>The result is a truly inspired journey of epic dub proportions. Some of the tracks you'll have heard here before, others are new to me (exactly what the best mixtapes are all about!) and all are pure quality. </p><p>On its own merits this selection comes highly recommended to all baroquedub listeners but it's even more amazing when you find out that Daquta is none other than an 11 year old DJ from Norway. Nuff respect! </p><p>[<a linkindex="28" href="http://husebyfun.no/Mixtapes.html" target="_blank"><strong>go to Daquta's website for the tracklist</strong> </a>] And watch out for The Best of BaroqueDub Vol.2 which I'm told is coming out very soon...</p>baroquedubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965008706042120020noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27671168.post-27542726803997322602009-11-27T09:38:00.002+11:002009-11-27T09:41:59.773+11:00Baroque Dub Mixtape Thirty Three [bdmx0033]<h3>Maverick Renegade</h3><p>Get ready, get set for another bumper pack selection of the usual baroquedub eclecticism.</p><p>We start off with a pair of uptempo <a linkindex="58" target="_blank" href="http://www.myspace.com/bennypage1">Benny Page</a> mixes designed to get you in the mood before halving the tempo into Oluge's Istanbul Yard.
