are a great way to get yourself familiar
with all kinds of artists and styles you
might like to consider for your next
purchase. It is also a very good way of
experiencing Reggae in an alternative way as
many podcasts are de facto non-stop mixes,
often put together by skillful DJ's and
other Sound System personnel. The Dubroom
has reviewed many of the best podcast(ers)
throughout the years, all of which you can
discover in our reviewed podcast pages. Be
sure to also check out the Dubroom's own
podcast. A link to the latest chapter can be
found on the left side of this page.

THE
ECHO CHAMBER - APRIL 4, 2007
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
April 2007 - Dr. Strangedub and DJ Baby
Swiss provide us with another great mix of
crucial music for our listening pleasure.
With an emphasis on DUB, they treat us with
a combination of different times and places.
BROADCASTER
COMMENTS: Well, after skipping a week at
the controls, the doctor was back in the
house at the Echo Chamber. DJ Baby Swiss
went solo last week while I hung out with
the Turntable Terrorist in Chicago --
catching (and recording) All India Radio
live at a small club, joining the Terrorist
at WLUW-FM for his program Echo Beach, and
doing a bit of homebrewing... Lots of new,
and newly re-released, items in the
mix tonight including: a couple of excellent
dubs from Messian Dread, the "Irie
Meditation" single from Nucleus Roots
(on Universal Egg), the great re-released
"Stop That Train" album (on
Greensleeves) from Clint Eastwood &
General Saint, the new Slavic Soul Party
("Technochek Collision" on Barbes),
Alpha & Omega's latest ("City of
Dub"), a sultry French track from
Zohar's new "Do You Have Any
Faith?" (C.I.A), dubs from 555 and
Library Science, the Senior All Stars'
excellent new "Red Leaf" (on
Grover), and a great cover of "Don't
Let Me Be Misunderstood" from Ray
Darwin. On top of these new items, we
included classic stuff from Lee
"Scratch" Perry, Niney the
Observer, and Bim Sherman, plus more great
stuff from Adrian Sherwood, Black Uhuru,
Little Axe, Gondwana, Uzul, Up,Bustle, &
Out, Atlas Soul, All India Radio, Smadj,
Pannonia Allstars Ska Orchestra, Winston
Wright, Seke Molenga, Kalo Kawongolo, Alan
Blood, the Nutty Boys, John Gilles, Dub
Syndicate, Easy Star All Stars, and the
Mutant Frogs. As always....an eclectic Echo
Chamber mix!

ADRIAN
SHERWOOD AND ON-U PART 2
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
December 2007 - Get ready for a deep,
deep journey into the mystical realms of
Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound from the early
1980's into the present time.
When Adrian
Sherwood started releasing his experiments
and DUB excursions beyond the realms of
Reggae, he took a special place in the
history books of Reggae Music. Until this
present day he maintains his position as
head of one of the most remarkable stables
UK DUB.

IN
SHOWCASE STYLE: DOZE
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
September 2007 - Five crucial tracks from
1978-1982, selected by the Jamaica HiFi
crew, Showcase Style!
When the
maxi-single or 12" became popular,
Jamaican Record plants began releasing
extended mixes, usually a combination of a
vocal track with a dub or DJ counterpart.
Later, maxi-singles were released on
so-called "Showcase" albums.

INGLAN
IS A BITCH: TWO TONE
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 2007 - TWO TONES: More than just a
label. The Two Tones were Black and White.
Two Tone Ska incorporated Reggae, Jamaican
Ska and even Punk with the sole intention to
chant down racism.
Most people
will associate skinheads with white racists
having more hair than brains. The bomber
jacks, army boots: they're a too familiar
sight in Europe and elsewhere.

INGLAN
IS A BITCH: ON-U SOUND
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 2007 - Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound
takes a special place within the catalogue
of UK DUB and Reggae productions, ever since
he started releasing.
When you
hear words like "experimental" or
"progressive", more often than not
you are listening to word that covers up an
inability to work with the real deal rather
than an accurate description of someone's
productions.
It's sad,
but true.
