That is to say, June 10th 1997 was the date wherein I started to gather statistical data for what was then still a small page with a few midifiles, a couple of Itations and some reviews. So I just take that as the official "birth date", for I really don't know anymore the exact date in which I started. It could very well be early 1997, or even late 1996.

What I do know, is that throughout this last decade, the Dubroom outgrew it's format many times. It started with midi-files, then MP3 was introduced, and currently we even have 100's of Reggae Video reviews!

We? Yes. For the Dubroom remains to be predominantly the work of I, Messian Dread, but without all the people who participate,  I couldn't do this.

People who work hard on the right hardware, so that the site and music and so on can be produced. People who contribute writings, information, material to review, and even reviews. 

Personally, I was blessed to release 11 albums and a number of single tracks in these last 10 years. And that's just my own productional works.

I also published articles about conscious topics, right from the start of the website. This grew as well, and currently there's several research projects about a wide variety of topics related to consciousness. And there's many writers contributing to the content, while everything is being discussed further on the (well-visited) Dubroom Message Board. 

Now, on the 10th anniversary, the Dubroom has become a name in Cyberspace. The independency of the site is appreciloved by those looking for an independent view and hated by those that work for corporate interests.

Give thanks to Jah, the Most High God and Creator of creation. Give thanks that we live in this Cyberspace-time, unprecedented in known history. Give thanks for Reggae Music, that can make us conscious if we wish to know the truth.

Give thanks as well to you, the reader of this little message. Give thanks for visiting the Dubroom! Give thanks for reading the reviews and articles, downloading the music and other material, for providing your feedback and sometimes even financial support!

How long we can enjoy the blessings of Cyberspace, I obviously do not know. I hope: long. Personally, I have gained wisdom knowledge and overstanding through the Internet which I would probably never have received in the "Outernet".

I also hope, that I will be able to maintain the Dubroom for ten more years and preferably even more, but everything is in the Hands of Jah the Most High.

But truly, I am blessed and extremely grateful for these ten years. 

One Love,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)
