The Dubroom reviews a lot of different material, from musical to educational to beneficial and more. We've got music, but also material for artists and producers as well as researchers of more conscious material. As always, when the Dubroom reviews something, this means that this website considers the material at least fair. So don't expect any negative reviews. When it's here, we recommend it. Period.

QUEEN IFRICA - DADDY
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, May 2008 - Although Queen Ifrica is the daughter of Ska legend Derrick Morgan, she didn't dedicate this track to him. She wrote it after hearing about the abuse one of her friends had to go through.

Bizarre aspect: there were several demands to have the track banned from Jamaican Radio when the track took the waves by storm during the last part of 2007. In a musical landscape where slackness (that is: more or less pornographic lyrics) is accepted, a call against one of the most evil things one human can do to another is apparently disturbing...

KALI BLAXX - ONE SMOKE
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, May 2008 - Jamaican vocalist Kali Blaxx grew up listening to Reggae's stars on the radio, and now he is here to forward the music into this next century.

Even though we read in the Bible that "Herb is made for the service of man", Babylon doesn't want man to be served in man's development and thing. And so, there's places on the planet where even one smoke can take you into big problems.

DOCUMENTARY: LIVE FROM JAMROCK
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, May 2008 - Most historical Reggae documentaries seem to think that there's nothing interesting going on after 1979. This video is a welcome exception as we explore the early 1980's, when Rub a Dub was the thing!

The video opens up with Josey Wales chanting into Channel One's microphones, with Scientist at the Control Tower. This sets the right tone for this documentary, of which the video quality unfortunately isn't what we would love it to be.

GRAVINCHI - CRY FOR ME
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, May 2008 - In his own particular mix of chanting and singing, Jamaican vocalist Gravinchi speaks his heart while riding a contemporary relaxed riddim.

Jamaica has more talented artists per square meter than any other place on the earth, at least so it seems. Especially for us, who love Reggae Music!

AFRICAN HEAD CHARGE - LIVE DUBBING (1991)
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, May 2008 - One of the most difficult things to perform while doing a live Reggae concert is to Dub It Up live and direct. Adrian Sherwood's On-U sound is one of the few to do it, for example with African Head Charge.

A hard, militant Steppers drums combined with a pumping bassline form the foundation of what seems to be a majestic improvisation by one of the leading names in the UK DUB business.
