Natural Cyber Dub [2001-2021]
Thursday Dec 02, 2021
Thursday Dec 02, 2021
Back in the days (mid 1990s) we named some of our Sub Dub Soundsystem shows "Natural Cyber Dub". "Natural" because main of our musical influece came from Rootsreggae, and"Cyber" because we were fascinated by the exiting new wave of Soundsystemreggae from the UK. And "Dub" because it was (and is) the name, that stands as a headline above all that stuff. With these memories in my mind I created this selection and tryed to transform the spirit from the Silver Age of Dub into the world of today.
So, here´s the playlist:
- Riviera Rockers (2015) - Stand Up 00:00:00

Sly & Robbie - Raiders Of the Showcase Experience 2 [1978-1985]
Tuesday Mar 30, 2021
Tuesday Mar 30, 2021
A real great dub tune works in two ways for me: the dancing and the listening aspect. So take your time and listen to the little things between the heavy ridims and conscious lyrics. You´ll find almost hidden vocals (in "Unmetered Taxi") or surprising sounds (in "Chill out" or "Heart Made Of Stone"), for instance.
So, here´s the playlist:
- Junior Delgado (1980) - Fort Augustus 00:00
- Junior Delgado (1981) - Bazooka Blast 03:00
- Burning Spear (1978) - Social Living 06:52
- Burning Spear (1981) - Pit Of Snakes 09:11

Sly & Robbie - Raiders Of the Showcase Experience 1 [1979-1985]
Tuesday Mar 16, 2021
Tuesday Mar 16, 2021
One of the things I discoverd in the early 1980s, when I started to get deeper into Reggae and especially into Dub, was the Showcase style: combining the vocal tune with its Dub counterpart and putting them on an album. In this time I spend a lot of energy in finding fitting vocal/version pairs (today it is much easier, of course, because oft so many sources you can find on the internet). Two starting points for me were produced by Sly & Robbie: Raiders of the Lost Dub and A Dub Experience. Now is the time to pay tribute to these masterpieces and re-unite them with their vocal cuts: in a live mix Showcase stylee!
So, here´s the playlist:
- Black Uhuru (1979) - Guess Who's Coming To Dinner 00:00:00
- Black Uhuru (1981) - Who's In The Tomb 00:05:32
- Ijahman (1979) - Moulding 00:08:43

Dancing & Romancing (Lovers Rock and Melodic Reggae) [1976-2018]
Friday Feb 26, 2021
Friday Feb 26, 2021
Coming from a militant Roots, Culture and Dub tradition, I was seldom interested in romantic Reggae music. But: inspired and fascinated by Steve McQueens films "Small Axe" I decided to dig in my archives for some sweet and handsome stuff. This leeds to a selection, that can be roughly divided in two parts: the first part is about modern artist (from the Paris DJs surroundings for instance) and the second comes with UK Lovers Rock (containing the hit song of Janet Kay and diverse Dennis Bovell late 1970s productions) in its focus. I mixed the set in one go in a rough and tough style, with the intention to create a live athmosphere. And: you will find two of my re-constructions, too.
So, here´s the playlist:
- Zoe feat. Ky-Mani Marley (2003) - Could It Be You (Radio Edit) 00:00:00

For all the fans of the UK Dub scene! Starting part one of this selection with some 1990s Alpha & Omega tunes with the voices of Nishka, the Exile, Dub Judah and Dayjah. Followed by two tunes from the split album with Hamburg based Iries featuring the unique voice of Pensi and John Sprosen on melodica. Closing the 1990s part with two majestic Disciples/Alpha & Omega remixes.
Part two takes a step ten years into the future: Alpha Steppa is on the scene and meets international artists like RSD, Flex Zagazzow, Lutan Fyah, Ras Tinny and Sistah Awa. And of course started colaborations with Alpha & Omega, somtimes together under the moniker "Dub Dynasty". They were remixed by a lot of artists like DJ Madd or Dutty Hands & Cranky General and joined by vocalists like Joe Pilgrim.
