Ive been listening to nothing but Dub & Reggae recently (& dubstep of course), but could do with being pointed in the direction of more artists....
Ive always liked King Tubby, and im onto The Upsetters, The Skatalites, Lee Perry, Frankie Paul, Tony Scott, Peter Tosh, General Echo, and the more dancehall charecters like Barrington Levy, Eek A Mouse, Cutty Ranks etc....but just wondering if theres anyone else people on here can reccomend me to listen to.....cheers

roots/conscious vibes:

Luciano
Beres Hammond
Sizzla (of course)

other reggae/dancehall/dub artists:

Jah Cure (anyone who loves reggae should have the song 'Longing for')
Gregory Isaacs (just classic)
Vybz Kartel (imo, STILL the baddest soundcrew out there)
Sanchez (has some classic rockers)
Tony Matterhorn
QQ

some other soundcrews to look out for:

Infamous Sound Crew- they're mixedcd 'Dutty Wine' is badness with the Smash Riddim and 85 Riddim
MVP Soundcrew
United Vibes

there's some compilations out on Blood and Fire called Dubwise and Otherwise, killer track selections.

^^ Like they said thats all you really need to get started.

The longer I've been listening the more rootsical I have become. I recommend going along to a Jah Shaka dance to really soak up the vibes but I cant see what country you are posting from...

is shaka still on the go?
he used to appear at the messenger nights in edinburgh twice a year, but they announced he was retiring a while back due to health reasons or something

Shaka still plays, he had his system nicked a while back but he's putting on dances again using other rigs.

Check the Blood & Fire forum.... they're always raving bout upcoming Shaka shows

He's also coming to bristol layer this year!!!! Cannot fuckin' wait!!

Shaka is a hero

Yes they do.

Apparently they are considered "on topic" because dub has always been a part of dubstep which is damn fine by me!

Er, yes!! I saw him last week at The Coronet in Elephant & Castle. Lots of rumours about Shaka many of which are unfounded. Always has been always will be. There is a good interview with Nicky Ezer of Culture Promotions that you should read here:

http://www.culturereggae.co.uk/culture.html

Also Shaka's son Malachi is now on top form, he was chanting on the mic at Shaks last gig and he is playing at The Telegraph next Friday. There is a fluer for that gig on the Shaka website, see my sig block for a link,
