SPECIAL SPECIAL SELECTION INNA ROOTS MUSIC !!!!!!!🔊🔊

MWD-DUB IS MY DRUG 2K25 CHAPTER TWO(SPECIAL ROOTS SELECTION)

Hello everyone, and welcome to DKODA: The Soul'd Out Show (Vol. I - IV)!  This is without a doubt my most ambitious project to date - a 4 part audio experience, where the 4 Volumes of music are split into 4 Acts - like a music themed audio play, presented to a live audience on stage. I wanted to tell a story about unrequited love, heartbreak, loneliness, elation, hope, grief  & despair. Further themes of true love, passion & desire finally intertwine with peace, togetherness & freedom. The protagonist's story is told in audio form using the lyrics and emotions in the samples of the music selected and used. I hope you enjoy the 'event'!

DKODA - Sense Maker

In October 2014, Lincoln Valentine Style Scott was murdered in his house in Manchester, Jamaica. He was 58 years old. At that tim he had just finished his work on “Hard Food”, the first album released by his Dub Syndicate since “No Bed of Roses” in 2004. Dub Syndicate’s first studio album for eleven years, an event that was to be a joyous celebration with friends, has now become Style Scott’s legacy.

NOW, exactly one year after his death – the new dub scene of Europe will tribute to this legendary drummer. The trademarking song “DUB IS ALL I GOT” will appear in 14 different version and excursion as a kind of REMIX Clash. A fascinating and splending bass experience and in the very sensitive way the remixers and admirers paid tribute for is more than excellent…!

With Style Scott the reggae world, and indeed the entire world, has lost one of its best drummers. His unexpected, tragic death is devastating for his friends and family, to whom we express our deepest sympathy. At the same time, Style’s music – both sounds and lyrics – reveal that his life was rich in warmth and harmony. His death has made our lives poorer.

DEDICATED TO LINCOLN VALENTINE SCOTT.
DATE OF SUNRISE:

The first cut on Mungo's sweltering re-lick of Derrick Harriott's Solomon riddim is voiced by none other than dancehall singing legend Little John who puts the focus where he feels it belongs - onto sound systems unwise enough not to employ his services. On the flip you can catch snippets of Little John's cover of the original Solomon vocal in a dub.  
The riddim track was recorded by Prince Fatty, with Horseman on Drums, Mafia on bass and keyboard, Kashta Tafari on guitar and brass from Glasgow's own Unique Horns.

The second cut on the riddim, DJ Queen is an answer tune to Mr Williamz’ forthcoming Industry track (on Scotch Bonnet next year) where Willz called out a sound system social butterfly drawn to the hype, Spanish emcee Ponchita Peligros reminds the reggae fraternity that a woman's place is upon the mic - not hanging backstage. 
The flipside is a U-Roy infused Rastaman chant from Iration Steppas deejay Danman. 

The two 7” singles are limited to a 300 hand numbered press. They will only be shipped direct from Scotland www.scotchbonnet.net - No digital, vinyl only.

Here is a little session from a Saturday evening (2-23-19). First recording in the new sound room in my house. This one is an all OG 7" selection, it has a mix of the super rare to the more easy to find $10 tunes. To me its not about how much they cost, its about how and when you select and play the tunes, message music!! Give it a listen and enjoy!  Respect and blessings

Track list to come:             Trust its worth a listen!!

Kojak - The Way It Is: Roots Selection (2019)

Here is a little 80s style selection from a Tuesday evening after teaching school all day. Tunes and a spliff or two is no better way to relax. I figured I had not posted a selection in quite a while so I hit record and here is what happened!! All vinyl recorded live, all vibes!! I start off with a little mid 80s almost digi era selection but end up going back and playing a little bit of everything in the roots variety!! Some rare 7s and 12s along with a single 10 inch acetate cut to Paula Clarke's University in a dubplate style. The rarities are accompanied by a few classic tunes to keep you singing along. I tried to keep it with the 80s rub a dub feel all the way though! Definitely worth checking out!
