At the time I made this show, summer was still blazing outside and the year's storm noose was tightening while I sat inside watching Spike Lee's "When the Levees Broke", observing the 5th anniversary of H. Katrina hittin' Nawlins … these conditions coming together just called out for a generous helping of Upstanding Dub.

Notable in this set is a fiery 2008 Dubmatix track, "Dub in Me Hand" … can't believe I slept on this back in the day … but reggae is timeless, always in style and never too late. In honor of that thought, I also included a handful of originals from the 70's, plus you'll find John Martyn's 1982 version of "Johnny Too Bad" paired with the Mos Def "Johnny Too Beef" release that hit the blogosphere in 2009. Label promos included goodness from Giant Step as well as some righteous love dub by Julie Crochetiere from Putamayo's Tribute to a Reggae Legend release.

Classic conscious reggae beats -- so you can exercise your upstanding spirit while you exercise your rump.
