Sure and fair enough: ever since Jamaica gave
birth to Reggae Music, one classic after the other
was played into the multi-track recorders of one
legendary Studio and engineer after the other.
The 1970's, for example, produced so much
material, that even decades after the event one
re-issue label after the other releases crucial
stuff. Stuff that needs to be reviewed, too.
Many Reggae lovers, though, especially when
they get a little older themselves, will expose
themselves to be "preterists": people
with a rather unhealthy love for the past. They
will even sometimes use a variation on a colonialist
theme, when they start to speak about the 1970's
as "the Golden Age of Reggae".
It's not a "love for Reggae", when
people claim that the best Reggae Music is music
from the past. Actually, they would declare Reggae
to be a dead form of music!
Over here at the Dubroom we believe that the
best Reggae is (always) yet to come. And by
looking at the theme of the 9th Podcast of Brooklyn-based
DJ Dr. Tahl, we kind of see the same thing too.
55 Minutes of pure Reggae Niceness, starting
with Sizzla riding some classic riddims only to go
further in time. DUB effects and digital remixes
take us straight to our time.
Welcome to the 21st Century!
