For real Gregory Issacs plays RIDDIM! Big fan of Prince Far I as well, he toasts on some pure vibe tunes. Who is that bedward the flying preacher tune by? As in; whos the backing band AND the producer. I agree that On-u sounds output is pretty hit and miss in terms of quality tunes, but Adrian sherw...

Cheers mate, iv loved kode9 since "Grime 2" and spaceape is truely from another planet, but have never had a chance to hear him mix (well saying that there was the breeze block but as i havent got the internet at home, i cant just stick mary anne on my cd player....although thats an intere...

Its on pre order over at boomkat, but does anyone have any idea of the definitive tracklist? Not that it makes a damn bit of difference, im still definately gonna buy it!

Yeah anything with scientist involved i always felt were heavyweight affairs. "wins the world cup" is gold but i think "Scientist vs Prince jammy at king tubbys house; the big showdown" wins over for me. Jah thomas doing the toasting, the roots radics (i know they play on nearly ...

Big props to HUGE for those sites, clued me up some things iv been wondering on for awhile, muchly apreciated. Agree with Clone AK as well, all good music in my eyes comes from roots. All dance really started off from dead early hip hop, which was instigated when kool keith brought the idea of sound...

for sure in my playlist: Boxcutter - Sunshine VIP Scuba - Aqualung Distance - Nomad (Scuba re-edit) Bruno Belluomini - Taka Fogo Bruno Belluomini - Broken Ekaros - Armee Ekaros - Beep X Mushug - 2012 Grim Feast - Monopoly Grim Feast - Ararat Now outside of Distnace, boxcutter and scuba i dont know ...

Heavyweight, cyrus is a top producer. Saying that, you had me on plasticman.
Now that is indeed a lineup and a half.

Just listened to Augustus Pablo's "Dubbing in africa" with sly & robbie and suddenly found myself interested; how many proper roots fans are out there? Slap your favourite producer down on the thread, or just ramble about how bass quakingly great you think it is as a genre. Its a hard ...

Yeah silly old me. Full props to those guys, they have it locked. They get names to play that i never see coming, its great they have the guts and the love of the music to take risks and not just slam the a-list non stop. Rob smith, Adrian sherwood, horace andy, jah shaka, i could go on. And the ira...

Wait scratch that i just read Distinctions post and saw, in big yellow letters, the words "sub dub" at the top of the flyer.
Who ever said too much weird makes makes you less perceptive?

Was that the DMZ room @ sub dub in leeds or another night altogether? Sub dub is a heavy set up, caught the blood and fire sound system there (rankin joe slew dem all over) but havent yet made it to the DMZ affiliated nights. Its on the top of the list now though, that sets heavy!

Yeah totaly. What it comes down to is knowing whatever software you use inside out, and from that you can get some amazing results with very basic stuff (provided you have good ideas to start with!). Look at how jungle started out, on old akai s950 and ataris. Doc Scotts "Drumworks" wasnt ...

Dubstep has great use for breaks, cos its at such a slow tempo and its not a rigid, straight rhythm like with breakbeat you can really twist them into fresh new shapes

I agree with what your saying doomstep, the sub should ride the kick like the bass player of a band should play as part of the Rhythym section, not the guitar section. The bass is the voice of the kick drum.

Its on, finally after much blagging the details are as follows - June the 8th @ the maze on mansfield road, heavyweight line up of notts talent, 5k rig. Featuring the highness sound system djs, myself, Geiom and DJ Klassic. If your not involved yet or you dont know about it then get down and represe...

No sorry mate we'r talking about differant nights. Im refering to a column blackdown did months ago, and a night from around that time. Im pretty sure Joe Nice has played more than one night in england in his time

Vex'd D'generate still. The whole album, still cant get it off my cd player.
Man alive i need to buy some new music!

Diddley, that line up looks heavy. Storm always does it for me....her DJ set that is, plus bassbin havent had a release yet that iv not liked, been wanting to see rohan for time. Looking forward to SLT mobs set, the boka release they had on the "low end dubs" ep was bouncy as fuck, sounded...

Heavens, another crashing disappointment in the lenghty and painful dental operation that is my life. Thanks anyway guys and gals *sniff*

MPC all the way, though the EMU samplers cant be beat either. The routing and modulation you can do to your sounds, coupled with the twisted filter set makes them mad lethal. Big props to the Waldorf Pulse and the XT, the XT is all about wavetable synthesis which you can pull some mad atmospheres ou...
