After going to a festival and getting mashed in the reggae tent for a good 4 hours ive developed a liking for dub reggae, anyone know any really good heavy bass dub reggae stuff? ;P
My brother is in a dub reggae band, the drastics, check em out, www.thedrastics.com or myspace.com/drasticdub they just dropped a 2 disc album, one instrumental one vocals with singers from RnB, to soul, to dancehall, and though it may seem biased, i personally think their new album is the greatest in its genre. also lee 'scratch' perry and king tubby are considered the pioneers of dub reggae, lee perrys studio band was the upsetters which has a lot of dub and he did some dub work with bob marley on a few tracks, also augustus pablo is pretty sick dub.
since "the legend" lee scratch has already been mentioned, i'm moving on to the stuff of today..... i'm not an expert, either but i also like the style and i believe the uk scene to be quite alive of the more recently produced stuff, i recommend: dub ghecko iration steppas!! twilight circus king shiloh sound system (from amsterdam) bush chemists
The Black Seeds are fantastic. They just released a new album 'Into The Dojo' check out http://www.theblackseeds.com
I don't know if they have been mentioned but Bedouin Soundclash are alright. The leads voice just sounds good when stoned...so ya know.
dub reggae is really good music, glad to find some names overhere i did not know yet. but i'm not deep enough in this kind of music myself to add new names...
