Riddim Magazine - now available via the always excellent turntablelab.com - published in Germany, now available in english a magazine with excellent writing and beautiful photography.

“RIDDIM already looks back on 20 issues and has been Germany’s mouthpiece for Reggae and Dancehall since 2001. During these years, we have acquired an international staff comprised of the best authors and photographers from the UK, France, the USA and naturally Jamaica, all of whom share our abiding passion for Reggae and feel the need to tell the world about it. However love has not made us blind. Therefore, you’ll not find us eulogizing about all and sundry or calling everything that glitters gold. Instead, the music, its key players and cultural proclivities will, at times, be critically scrutinized both from an insider’s point of view and a bird’s eye perspective.”

there’s a reason why scientist, in his dub genius, recorded Scientist Wins the World Cup

the world cup dubs the meaning of our “dub worldwide” tag more than any dub we can
we are dub world, united in dub - enjoy the beauty of the dub game - enjoy who we are - as a world together in respect and unity

Reading, UK to Leipzeig, DE - Dub Worldwide

Unity-legend Mikey Murka on a classic old-school digital smasher - a true hymn on the good sensimilla! Apart from Mikey’s incredible vocal niceness this one includes rocking drummachine action, original spliff lighting sounds, smoked out surprises from beginning to end and loads of good vibes

Listening to Bass Culture - these lines seemed very appropriate for these times

for the time is nigh
when passion get a high
when the beat just lash
when the wall must smash
and the people shift
as the culture alter
when oppression scatter

Mrs Cakehead has a Myspace website! A Mrs Cakehead “greatest hits” is now available from pumf records & pStan (thanks to onthewire for that info). Elirecords has some more CDs.
“In one of his tunes Prince Far I mentions Christopher Columbus discovering America, and Prince Far I Discovers music… Mrs cakehead discovers homebrew and criminal damage.” - mrs cakehead - porsche incident (chillum forest)

On the topic of Prince Far I - an interesting collection of essays from the “dread library” came to our attention… enjoy.

For those of you familiar with Dubplates and their place in music, we won’t bore. Those who don’t think of it as the freshest mp3 straight from the mixing desk, but it’ll self-destruct in 1 hour (or after 20 plays… hmmm sounds like a DRM idea to us)
So what do the “fatcats” at wiki pee dia have to say about it then?

And there is always a tee-vee version (version) - Read the plot summary and honestly who wouldn’t mind being caught between two “waring” pirate radio stations? You’d get to play both sides of your dubplate - one for each station right?…. ha ha ha.

We’d really like to thank the awesome Jarring Effects people for sending us the CDs for 3 of this month’s tracks. The opener “Afraid of Nothing” comes from the High Tone CD “Wave Digger”. “Drongo Dub” comes from the High Tone meets the Improvisators Dub CD - this is a promo for now. The penultimate closer comes from High Tone on Jarring effects again, this time A.D.N. Acid Dub Nuclei & “Enter the Dragon” [drum ersatz].

On a side note - nice to see On the Wire playing stuff from this label too.

Big shout out to Jake at beatresearch / mashit for the use of DuoTone’s “Dread Bounce”.

And how amazing is that Kenny Knots track? Sweet simple digi riddim - beautiful voice. The Honest Jon’s crew coming correct.

Selector Yes 15,000 downloads/streams of the dubcasts, thanks.
