Some Dub for Oct. One Small Step at a Time

Here's one that doesn't show up often. 

Adrian & Skip doing their thing with Revolutionary Dub Warriors. 

The Revolutionary Dub Warriors sound is that of raw roots reggae dubbed up in their own unique way. The band use live drums, bass, & percussion but also use electronic effects & instruments to enhance the mesmerising effect of their music.

 

For this release, Revolutionary Dub Warriors are three Steves & a Rich: Rich Paterson - keyboards; Steve Swan - bass; Steve Taylor - percussion, & Steve Cruickshank - drums.

You all probably know Neil Joseph Stephen Fraser. Neil Fraser? You know...Mad Professor. Dub man extraordinaire from Guyanna. You've heard him on his own or teamed up with Scratch , Ruts DC, Yabby You, Mafia & Fluxy, Massive Attack. He runs Ariwa. He's  been laying down the rock-solid Dub since 1982s Beyond the Realms of Dub (Dub Me Crazy! The Second Chapter). So??? Dubstep???

I never really got into Dubstep much.

Wonderful Wiki sez:
 
     “Dubstep is a genre of dance music that originated in South London in the early 2000s. It is generally characterised by sparse, syncopated rhythmic patterns with prominent sub-bass frequencies. The origins of the genre can be traced back to the growth of the Jamaican Sound System scene drawing on a lineage of Dub.”

I loved Dub in its true form. I love 20th Century Dub. I love 21st Century Dub. So leave it to the Mad one himself to conjour up The Roots of Dubstep. You’ve got to listen to this one. This shit rocks!
