October 2008 - Selector Papa Jason of
the German based Roots Ministry Sound System
takes us into a Dancehall vibe
extraordinaire! Digital vibes galore and
well versatile. When you can take it, that
is...
Ever since
Jammy's came up with the now legendary Sleng
Teng riddim, Jamaican studio's have been
applying digital possibilities with various
results. Some people went wild, while others
couldn't apprecilove it at all. The debate
continues until this day...
Much has
happened after Sleng-Teng, obviously. The
specific UK DUB and Roots sound rests
heavily on the sound of the Drum computer,
for example. But also Dancehall and Jamaican
Roots of today has gone digital for a large
degree.
The 8th
episode of the Roots Ministry Mixdown series
takes us -for the most part- back to the
early days of the digital era. Many things
were kinda new, even revolutionary, and so
experimentation was the order of the day.
Simply a
very, very interesting experience to hear
some of those early digi-tunes again. In a
time wherein a whole generation grew up with
digital music and many prejudice of back
then have faded in the trails of history,
it's never a bad thing to know where we're
coming from: another service from the Roots
Ministry for which we give thanks.
Nuff
thanks!
