October 2007 - If you can, take a spliff and
feel. Feel the deep, deep DUB vibes of the
Orb, Rhythm and Sound and others as they
take us to outer space, beyond the border!
Reggae
Music and especially DUB has an enormous
influence in the development of what we now
know as contemporary electronic Dance music.
In fact,
the music would have sound quite different
if it was not for the fact that well-known
producers like the Orb are among the biggest
DUB fans on the face of the earth. Drum,
bass and effects are now the ruling factors
in many musical styles, of which we find
some examples in this second episode of the
Jamaica Hi-Fi Podcast.
Reggae and
DUB purists will recognize just how the
Reggae formula is incorporated in the
productions, each track coming with a
different outcome. One track will be closer
to Reggae than the other, one track will be
more danceable than the other.
We'll visit
the UK, the USA and Germany to explore some
chilled-out, yet intense productions all
designed to enhance a positive buzz after
enjoying a little bit of herb. So when you
can, light one spliff or chalice and if you
can't, don't worry bout that. The music will
show you stuff anyway.
