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.”

Folks we are being in-undated (that means we get ~10-15 emails a day about links) with link requests faster than we can check them out and post them on dub.com.

Would it be a good idea to post them here first and see what the feedback is like on each and then decide? You can log-in and post a comment.

Also – if you see a link that is broken or domain squatted (i.e. you get a search page or some bullshit) let us know. We don’t want to waste your time looking at crap sites.

Nice bit of Mr Perry “the creator of dub” he he… Dubbing around Dublin, in Stephen’s Green talking to the ducks, in the pub having a swift one.

Seems like Guinness got the man to do a bunch of these ads, is it just me or doesn’t seem like an easy job for the copywriter?

“Eh… Lee… waddya think about ehhh dem Aliens then Lee?”

Check out dub creating and version mixing over at Anchormix.com :
“…The goal was to pay tribute to two dub heavyweights while using the songs as elements themselves and weaving in the vocal talents of Omnibus MC. In a four-round clash, DJ’s Andren and Scott Allen took turns re-mixing, looping and dubbing each track into a brand new song.Our modern take on dub is to remix the dub tracks on the fly and create a ‘dub soundscape’ that, when mixed with live vocals provides a live element that can never be recreated.”

Uncarved.org has a great interview with Lee “Scratch” Perry by Danny Kelly. There’s a brilliant quote where Mr Perry claims ‘dub’ for his own “To be fair and speak the truth, it wasn’t I and Tubby who brought about dub, but I alone! In those days Tubby had a sound system and he wanted dubs for it from me. He’d come to Randy’s studio where I worked at the time and spend days watching me messing about with the controls. As my dubs got famous and people like them, so Tubby try mixing up a few sides of his own.”
