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...
Once again thanx!

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....

Check this

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