The Reggae Thread

[Chazzy]

I remember 'singing' under mi slen teng to an old school dreadlocked record dealer around '89 at a record fair in the electric ballroom in camden to work out what the song was. No Internet or shazam back then... I'd heard it at a fun fair earlier that year. He had the album.  Happy days!🤩

A good one here from Delroy Wilson, get ready

And get ready for king Tubby

The thing that first got me introduced to dub was Towers of Dub by The Orb from 1992 and that got me off exploring. Those who like the ambient electronic world know this track as famously "the one with that bass drop" and this is where the sample was taken from.

[Reggaebass]

Some great mixing on this 

 

[Mykesbass]

Enjoying this (getting played on 6Music). Pachyman - young guy making really old sounding dub.

Horace Andy with sly and Robbie, nice one this 

 

[Reggaebass]

Everyday wondering, I remember this well from old family parties 

and the skanga 

 

[SumOne]

I wonder what Bob thought in his later more political years about having sung 'funky funky chicken and the mash potato, do the aligator'. Hopefully he'd be proud as this one's got the funk!

Back from the rub-a-dub and YT offers this up for me. Another version from a few pages ago and what I now know to be Syl Johnson sitting in there somewhere.

It is a trying time for presidents everywhere so maybe they need to listen to this and take heed.

It's been a while since I last checked in here; listening to this today brought me back. (I did a search to see if it had already been posted, but found nothing.) This used to be available on Spotify, but it's greyed out now; darn!

 

According to Wikipedia, "Three members of the group were murdered throughout the group's tenure"!

Thanks for that oakforest 👍🏻, I didn’t really know much about them so I had a quick look and the only track I recognise is this one , I didn’t know Tappa Zukie produced them either 

 

[Bunion]

A lively offering 

 

[Reggaebass]

I’ve been exploring Bertram McClean who was also known as Ranchie , he played on so many tracks in the early years and also worked with Sly Dunbar, nice playing on this 

 

[Reggaebass]

Came across these guys by chance, never heard them before but I think this sounds really good , what do you think
