Errol
Judah and the Neophyte Stepers - Life (It
Nah Funny)
DUBROOM
MP3 REVIEW |
WWW,
January 2011 - Taken from the album
"Walt Rides Again" which is
available from sites like amazon.com,
"Life (It Na Funny)" is an
excellent DUB track in the ROOTS tradition,
with full-blown horns and a massive drum and
bass line. The Neophytes, who have been
around long enough to be among the
Experienced, team up with vocalist Errol
Judah in what can only be described as a
must-have for your ever growing collection
of free and legal MP3 files.
The Dub
mixing is excellent, there are enough parts
with lyrical content to guarantee the
conscious aspect while the instruments in
their turn form a perfect input for the echo
machine and reverberation device. Life is
not funny for the sufferers, but music make
them help through in that mystical way which
is perfectly captured in the (free and
legal) release. Consider purchasing
the album, more than worth it!

Pappa
Biggy - Set Him Free
DUBROOM
MP3 REVIEW |
WWW,
September 28 2010 - "Set Him Free"
is a powerful track by the Connecticut-based
Jamaican singer Pappa Biggy, created in 2009
when the news broke on Buju Banton's arrest
in Florida on cokane charges. After almost
nine months of being in jail, Buju Banton
was finally put before a judge and jury, who
could not come to a verdict with the result
that a new trial is set for December. That's
when Buju Banton will then be in jail for a
year.
Pappa Biggy
graciously gave the Dubroom permission to
upload the track.

YEYO
PEREZ AND BASS CULTURE PLAYERS - JAH JAH
HAVE NO COLOUR PLUS DUB
DUBROOM
MP3 REVIEW |
WWW,
June 16 2014 - Yesterday was a day of
protest against the "Foreigner
Internment Centers", prisons where
people are kept for being born in a certain
place with a certain colour of their skin.
It's all part of the spirit of racism that
haunts Europe since times of memory. To
contribute to the protest, LaFamille has
released an excellent Anti-Racist track with
vocals by Yeyo Perez and music by the Bass
Culture Players.
A steppers track serves as the foundation
for this weapon in the struggle against
racism. Recorded in Spain, mastered in the
UK and originally released for twelve inch
by an Italian label, the recording has come
a long way before it lands in your heart and
soul. And, hopefully, touch the hearts of
someone in your neighborhood who might have
a problem with someone havin a different
colour.

YEYO
PEREZ AND BASS CULTURE PLAYERS - SEND THEM
TO PRISON PLUS DUB
DUBROOM
MP3 REVIEW |
WWW,
January 2021 - Well, who must be sent to
prison? You got to listen to this track to
find out. But not before you read this
little review of yet another massive release
by the Spanish La Famille Net Label.
Both the
vocal track as well as the Dub are massive.
Massive, as we're getting spoiled by La
Famille and don't even realize the value of
the music they release. This steppers track,
based on a classic riddim, is such a
release. This is great music, not just for
DJ's and selectors, but for every self
respecting collector of the better free and
legal Reggae MP3's.
Get them
now!

Ziggy
Marley - Africa Land
DUBROOM
MP3 REVIEW |
WWW,
December 2010 - A joyful, vibrant track from
not-just-the-son-of, provided for free by
use of the Creative Commons Copyright:
Here's one of the latest projects of Ziggy
Marley which he did together with friends
and family.
The
project, called "wild and free
singles", can be considered an
in-between albums studio session. According
to Ziggy, "here is the first song, it's
called africa land. I wrote it cause of the
world cup in Africa as a way of cheering on
Africa as one team and celebrating a new day
in African history. My brother Stephen and
my good friend Angelique joined me for this
celebration. Enjoy."

Ziggy
Marley - PERSONAL REVOLUTION (Live)
DUBROOM
MP3 REVIEW |
WWW,
April 2014 - It takes the band about two
minutes to actually introduce the riddim of
the tune, but then you had an introduction
that provided more than enough food for
thought. On a musical vibe, that is.
Recorded on his USA tour, Ziggy Marley's
"Personal Revolution" features
Santa on drums and was mixed and mastered by
Errol Brown. They need no introduction for
the Reggae connoisseur and they will not
disappoint during the 5 minutes 44 seconds
of the recording.

Ziggy
Marley - DON'T YOU KILL LOVE (Live)
DUBROOM
MP3 REVIEW |
WWW,
April 2014 - More live music by Ziggy Marley
and his band. "Don't You Kill
Love" lasts 5 minutes and twenty
seconds and has that Roots Reggae vibe along
with some very special string instruments
mixed very much on top. It's live, after
all, right?
Right.
The
recording, taken from his 2004 USA tour,
includes improvisation and Dub parts and
features some very crucial drumming that
will not go unnoticed whenever you move and
groove to the tune. Another free tune that
you cannot afford to miss out on.

Ziggy
Marley - Jammin In The Rain (Live)
DUBROOM
MP3 REVIEW |
WWW,
July 2011 - It wasn't directly the
intention, not even on the playlist: there
was some spontanious impulse within Ziggy
Marley which made him say "Jammin,
Jammin" to the band as they played live
in Sao Paulo (Brasil). The result is a
spontanious, but tight performance of the
well known track by Ziggy Marley's father.
The track
clearly shows how Ziggy Marley has made his
own particular way and style of doing the
musical works. It's clear he know the track
inside-out, how could it be any different,
but he and the band definitely build on top
of it. Nice Dubby parts, nuff improvisations
as well ("Jammin in the Rain"),
while they thought that "Jamming was a
thing of the past" it's still going
strong in this 21st Century Time and Iwa!
