Real Reggae

This promo from U-Roy & Dub Gabriel was already downloaded over 2000 times from the label's Soundcloud page so we thought we may as well make it a free download here too! Dub Gabriel track featuring Jamaican vocal legend U-Roy. Remixed inna dubstep style by Ming (of Ming & FS) and Emch from Subatomic Sound System.

Straight outta Kingston Jamaica via San Francisco and beyond, Luv ‘n Liv is the first single to drop from Dub Gabriel’s upcoming 4th studio album, The Cut Up. Featuring the mighty Dread in a Babylon, U-Roy (The Originator), Luv ‘n Liv lays testament to all that can be when you put a reggae legend in the same room as one of America’s leading producers of nu-dub.  With the original hook-up coming through none other than Scientist himself, U-Roy & Dub Gabriel went deep in Mark Pistel’s (Hercules & The Love Affair/Meat Beat Manifesto) Room 5 studio and emerged with Luv ‘n Liv. To round things out, DG enlisted David J of Bauhaus and Love & Rockets to hold down the bass, and Ysanne Spevack on strings who was fresh from her recent work with the Smashing Pumpkins. The outcome is pretty epic if we say so ourselves.

Bridging the living roots of dub to the future-present world of dubstep, DG also brought in some of the hottest producers in the game to remix the track, including Ming (Ming & FS), Subatomic Sound System (following up on his highly successful remix for Lee “Scratch” Perry), Lloop (The Agriculture Records) and Timeblind (Tigerbeat 6). Finally, for all those who crave a good dosage of roots, Dub Gabriel brings things back down to earth with a soulful version of Luv ‘n Liv backed by none other than Yellowman’s original Sagittarius Band. Respect!

Recorded live at what was once Warhol's Factory space on 32nd Street in Manhattan. A 4 room event of audio visual mayhem. A quintessential downtown NYC 90's party. A memorable event indeed.

Dub Gabriel feat. U Roy- Luv n' Liv ( Lloop Remix)

Raggabass Resistance is the groundbreaking 4th album release from critically acclaimed ragga/dubstep pioneer, Dub Gabriel. Three years in the making and spanning multiple continents, he has been on an epic bass-fueled journey that saw him enlist the support of an incredible crew of collaborators - U-Roy, Warrior Queen, The Spaceape (Kode9/Burial), Brother Culture (On-U/Mungo's Hi Fi), Jahdan Blakkamoore (Major Lazer/Snoop Lion), Dr. Israel, MC Zulu, Juakali, PJ Higgins (Temple of Sound), David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets), Pedro Erazo (Gogol Bordelo), and Mark Pistel (Hercules & Love Affair) - they all come together in an electro-organic stew of future reggae sounds to create Dub Gabriel's most realized and ambitious album to date. 

Originally from Chicago, and now living in San Francisco (by way of Brooklyn and Berlin), Dub Gabriel got his start at New York's legendary Limelight Club in the late 90's, which quickly gained him significant press coverage in major publications including Interview Magazine, The New York Times and Time Out New York, and launched him as one of America's premier producers and DJ's. A tireless innovator, his musical explorations have taken him the furthest reaches of electronic, rock and world music, appearing on over 25 releases that include collaborations with Michael Stipe of REM, and The Master Musicians of Jajouka, and a string of massive remixes for artists such as Balkan Beat Box and Dubblestandart feat. director David Lynch & reggae legend Lee Scratch Perry.

Dub Gabriel feat. U-Roy - Luv n' Liv

It is undeniable that we are living in uncertain times. For those of us failing to fit the patriarchal neoliberalist mould, we have lost hope in the future. We can see capitalism is not working but we cannot yet envisage an alternative. In a world where security is no longer feasible, the only constant we can rely on is change. Regardless of one’s point of reference, we can understand that every aspect of life, physical and mental is in flux and perhaps this transience is the only thing we can depend on.

This month we have invited @airtexture to ruminate on these ideas and create an hour of relief from these anxieties. A temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate modes of existence that reject hetero-patriarchal systems of oppression.

The full tracklist and original radio show (with talking) is available here:
