I have not gone to the Clapham branch in a while since they opened up the Shepherds Bush outlet (heck I was there about a week ago)...but oh so worth it! (prices have raised unfortunately though). Shepherds Bush branch is literally a hole in the wall, just enough space to fit yourself infront the counter and pay/collect your order but I'm going for the food just to pick up. If you need that chicken roti and an 'Apple J' or your 'red solo'....then look no further. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g186338-d2256998-r687449545-Roti_Joupa-London_England.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive over to barking sometimes, there’s a place there called The Jerk Pit, the shop isn’t that big but the chicken rice and coleslaw is amazing 🙂 Edited May 16, 2021 by Reggaebass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taunton-hobbit Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Thanks - that's got a lot bigger since I last saw it - the Beeb are going to have their work cut out (stand by for the usual skate over the surface ?) ... 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We salute you. That’s great, when I was in Ibiza a few years ago I went to reggae beach, it’s a bit of a tourist thing but quite a good place, they just play reggae all day and night and party on the beach 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandro Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 So I know this is the 'reggae thread' but it encompasses and touches all the flavours here anyways and it all gets love. I had seen this little mini documentary this guy put together on dancehall from his perspective as a newcomer to it. I was impressed and quite entertained by it. I'm not going to fact check it as I did not know a ton of those details anyways, I just grew up on the music around me at the turn of the century (or thereabouts). But I really like how he put it together and he touches on the history and Sound Systems etc. which was brought up in this thread the other day, and even ties in David Bowie into his discussion. Anyways, it popped back up in my youtube recommendations just now and I figured it might be entertaining for anyone who has not seen it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumOne Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Rhythm & Sound are great for relatively modern dubby stuff (or their stuff as Basic Channel is more Dub Techno). This is a mix of all the vocal versions of their 'see me yah' riddim.....hypnotic stuff. Edited May 19, 2021 by SumOne 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
