What you are looking for is steppers subgenre of dub, style mostly designed by UK soundsystems. Check out Zion Train, Vibronics, Kanka, Malone Rootikal, Dubateers,....list goes on & on actually.

Do you know any good shops in/around London that sell steppers...sounds of the universe in soho is good for classic dancehall and reggae, but i havent found anything modern like the things you've mentioned...

Can't reccommend London shops cause I'm not from London but here's some more names: Jah Shaka, Irration Steppaz, Revolutionary Dub Warriors, Power Steppers, Tassilli Players, Radikal Dub Kolektiv....

Its years of searching and buying man. You can get all from Universal egg catalogue here: http://www.wobblyweb.com/ue/

I could hook you up with Radikal Dub Kolektiv on vynil, this stuff has been re-pressed and sold out.

Check this release.
Their first album is a real hard-to-find item.

Universal Egg been doing it for at least a decade. Rather specific sound and it just mght be what you are looking for.
