The inclusion of Dub Judah in yesterday's Dubkasm release prompted these next three great sets... 

 

Black Roots sprang up from the St Paul's area of Bristol, UK. The original eight-member band formed in 1979. The group was made up of Delroy O'Gilvie, Cordell Francis, Errol Brown, Jabulani Ngozi, Trevor Seivwright, Kondwani Ngozi, Derrick King, & Carlton 'Roots' Smith.

They quickly gained a large following by touring almost non-stop around the country, playing their brand of  'militant pacifism' roots reggae.

They mixed a good amount of Dub on their reggae releases (Ina Different Style is a perfect example) but these three are strictly Dub, mixed by Dub Judah & Mad Professor, spanning Black Roots stellar career to this point. They released these between 1991-1995. After a seventeen year hiatus, they began releasing new material in 2012. They have released six albums since re-grouping.
