MAX RUBADUB feat Various Artists: Roots 51 Riddim (2014)

Hot on the heels of his Sweet Like You single with General Trix, Max Rubadub gets back in his studio tub to rustle up an eighteen strong riddim selection using his equally sweet Roots 51 Riddim. For non-reggae heads, that’s the same sunshine-infused tune slightly tweaked eighteen times with a different vocalist doing a different song on each time. You don’t really want me to name all of them do you? You do? Oh – well here we go then:…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

MAX RUBADUB & GENERAL TRIX: Sweet Like You (2014)

DIRTY DUBSTERS / BLEND MISHKIN: Screechy Dan EP (2011)
For their third release Irish Moss bring us the Screechy Dan EP featuring veteran NY toaster Screechy Dan of Kenny Dope-produced Boomin’ In Ya Jeep fame. It’s a six tracker which is a lot of screeching, I think you’ll agree – but is our man Dan up to it? Does a bear shit on the Pope? Of course he is! Actually, in reality it’s two tracks with a brace of remixes apiece. Dirty Dubsters provide ridiculously heavy dub weaponry on Gift Of Dub is a super heavy slice of dub reggae with punishing snares and a tempo switch about halfway through which gets a dnb rerub from Run Tingz Cru and a breaks makeover from DJ Wood. If possible, Athenian dub maestro Blend Mishkin then ups the ante with…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
