Beginning in D.C., which had a great dub subculture built around the classic reggae featured on the Dr. Dread show on WHFS radio, summer has always called for a new dub reggae mi and even more so now that I've moved to Florida, where the vibe is accentuated by the beaches, the palm trees and the smoky haze surrounding the vacationeers …
Following the move to FLA, in the early days of my online life, I stumbled into the bristolsound.uk website which had some outstanding Smith & Mighty-influenced tracks available; I found emusic.com had some excellent compilations as well …. Outernational rastas had picked up where dub reggae left off when Jamaica's artists opted for dancehall, toasting and rapping instead. Out of these elements plus the existing collection of CDs and vinyl, the Dub & Dubber series was born in the mid-90s. We still on the beach, mon, spliff in hand and eyes on the sunset …
The tracks on this rework set are drawn primarily from the first four Dub & Dubber compilations augmented by top-flight dub released since then: established artists like Thievery Corporation, Finley Quaye, Thunderball, Duble Leftfield and The Orb, plus lesser-known talents like Sequel, Jahwoosh, Ras Command, Sanchez Dub and Doctor Echo layered with entries from unexpected players such as David Byrne and Dead Can Dance.
This is ultra style … a collection unrestrained by ideology or fashion. The theme of this Independence Day show is, of course, freedom -- played out in music which encourages you always to be unfettered; music which asserts your right to do nothing, ecstatically; music which urges you to combine physicality and spirituality in celebrating this life and which blesses your intention to be one with the world around you.
