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!

Just take these chains away,
And set me free.
Remove me out of bondage,
And we'll agree.
Too long I've been a slave,
I don't want to be no more.
I'd rather dig my grave,
Than be locked behind a door.

I want to help myself,
Be an independent man.
I don't want no one to give,
Me a helping hand.
Whether you are black,
Whether you are white,
I don't give a damn,
I just want to be alright.

Just take these chains away,
And set me free.
Remove me out of bondage,
And we'll agree.
Too long I've been a slave,
I don't want to be no more.
I'd rather dig my grave,
Than be locked behind a door.

I want to help myself,
Be an independent man.
I don't want no one to give,
Me a helping hand.
Whether you are black,
Whether you are white,
I don't give a damn,
I just want to be alright.

Oh, won't you set me, set me free?
Please, unchain me, take these chains away,
Why won't you set me free?
Please, just take these chains away and set me free..

My Time

by Keith Anderson © Andisongs
from the album Songbook on Studio One

My resistance is getting weaker
I just can't stand the pressure
I can't be any meeker
I've got to find me some of the treasure

I need nothing to be a man
Because I was born a man
And I deserve the right to live
Like any other man

My mind's in such a state
Sometimes it makes me sick
At times I've tried to hate
But I just don't know the trick

I need nothing to be a man
Because I was born a man
And I deserve the right to live
Like any other man

Experience has taught me wisdom
Thank God I've got some life left
I'm getting out of serfdom
My soul has stood the test

I need nothing to be a man
Because I was born a man
And I deserve the right to be
Like any other man
