We've added several mailing lists to our contact pages. You're now able to subscribe to more specific things from the Dubroom. Go to https://www.dubroom.org/contact/lists.htm to check them all out!

At the moment this is written, a rather huge project is about to be finished. During the last months, the Dubroom's MP3 portal has underwent a significant change even though it is not directly noticeable for the casual visitor.

During the last months we've completed uploading everything that we've reviewed and was released under Creative Commons copyright. That copyright means you can re-distribute the music provided that no money is made of it and the original files are left intact. And for you it means that you can get the music straight of the Dubroom servers (or links at MEGA) so you don't have to worry about dead links.

We've also added almost every release that is no longer available elsewhere. Certain artists, producers and net labels have seen their websites disappear off the world wide web for a wide variety of reasons with the result that the free music offered on these websites have gone into the big nothing. Since that music was offered free and the Dubroom does not make any money, we've decided to add the music to what is now becoming the Dubroom Free Music Collection. This is music that otherwise would not be available to you anymore which would be a shame. We call it "Legacy of the World Wide Web".

For the historians, we've added a third element to the collection as well. We call it "Rare, Historical, Out-of-Print Choices for the Connoisseurs". It's just what it says. When you're interested in that rare stuff, like that old radio broadcast that was never released but has been recorded decades ago, you will find this interesting. Do not expect much, though. At the moment this is written, there's just one broadcast to discover but that might just change in the (near) future.

Another thing that is about to be finished even though it's not really visible at this moment, is Radio Dubroom. Currently we're uploading all the old Radio shows to MIXCLOUD.com, with the intention to have the shows available for streaming directly from radio.dubroom.org.

And there's a brand new show that comes on top of, not instead of, Radio Dubroom: "Riddims and Sounds from the Dubroom Selector". This show is broadcasted live every Thursday at Heartical FM and a week later will be available for free streaming/download straight of radio.dubroom.org as well. 

Later in this update more about that.

During the last months, we've been very busy updating what was just a little forum at Tapatalk into basically a musical mirror of Dubroom.org. What does that mean? Well, it is our aim to have available at Tapatalk every single release we've reviewed or released ourself. Stream directly, find music easy, and even better (for us): comment on the reviews or the music itself. Registration is not required!

We think that our place at Tapatalk is also more pleasant for people with just a mobile phone instead of a computer than the dubroom.org website itself, since the website is specifically designed for use with computers. After all, the website started back in the 90's of the previous century and is still working on the hand-made templates from that time. 

Give it a try!

As said, we've got a brand new Radio Show on top of Radio Dubroom 2021. It's called "Riddims and Sounds from the Dubroom Selector", or just in short: "Riddims and Sounds". This show is different and longer than the chapters of Radio Dubroom 2021. And it's only available a week after the original broadcast, at HEARTICAL FM.

Heartical FM is an online Reggae Radio Station with a lot of different selectors and shows from all over the world. We were asked to contribute as well and we gratefully and humbly accepted this opportunity to share even more music with the world wide massive.

"Riddims and Sounds" will be broadcasted every Thursday between 9pm and 11pm, UK time. The nice thing is that with the broadcast comes the possibility to chat online with other listeners and with yours truly who strives to be there unless it is absolutely impossible. Visit HEARTICALFM.com or Radio Dubroom for more info and tons of musical experiences.

concluding

Hopefully you're a little bit informed as to what's going on over here at the Dubroom. We're glad to be back with some more activity than we've (not) had since a couple of years. Hopefully we'll meet again soon. You can always visit the Dubroom at Tapatalk or join us when the Riddims and Sounds show is broadcasted when you want to have communication. 

One Love,
