When we’re not listening to dub, we do sometimes wander into the disco world and our good friend Black Shag over at the excellent Beat Electric blog was very nice to call our own stephen a “reggae don” a title hardly deserving but much appreciated. “Shag” did find this awesome Frankie Paul disco dub cut – “Funky Reggae Party” [audio:http://www.beardodisco.com/beatelectric/music/franky_paul_funky_reggae_party.mp3]
Classic stuff from Peter Dean Rickards http://www.afflictedyard.com/ @pd_rickards This is a video of Noel Davey – the guy who switched up a pattern on the Casio MT-40 keyboard to create the the first fully computerised riddim in Jamaican music: the ‘Sleng Teng.’ The clip was filmed in 2001 at Noel Davey’s home in Waterhouse, Jamaica for the pioneering web program Kingston Signals.

The dub.com crew got to see Sly & Robbie with the Taxi Gang playing through the Taxi catalog on a rare Monday night treat at Yoshi’s San Francisco. Our highlight of the evening was Robbie singing “Murder She Wrote” 🙂 More review from the always excellent ForwardEver At 11 p.m. out strode drummer Sly Dunbar, bassist Robbie Shakespeare, guitarist Darryl Thompson, keyboardists Franklyn “Bubbler” Waul and Steven “Lenky” Marsden, along with trombonist Nambo Robinson — veterans all. Nambo played equally compelling roles as hype man, singer and soloist throughout the night.
