The Upsetter: Lee "Scratch" Perry

A dive into the raw, psychedelic world of Lee "Scratch" Perry — the original Upsetter.

Expect swirling echoes, hypnotic grooves, and unpredictable sonic experiments that highlight Perry’s genius outside the mainstream. This isn’t a greatest hits session, it’s a head-nod to the underground wizardry of reggae’s mad scientist.

The Art of Space: Ambient Dub

Ambient dub is the dreamlike extension of traditional dub—a sound world where slow-motion basslines, swirling echoes, and textured layers stretch out like scenes from a film you've never seen but somehow remember. It’s not dub for the dancefloor. It’s dub for drifting. For breathing. For letting go.

Burning Spear – Deep Cuts and Hidden Gems

Burning Spear—born Winston Rodney in St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica—is not just a reggae artist; he is a vessel of history, resistance, and Rastafari wisdom. While his better-known songs, such as "Marcus Garvey," "Columbus," and "Slavery Days," defined 1970s roots reggae, there’s a rich body of lesser-known tracks that offer just as much power, insight, and sonic magic.

This one-hour mix delves into a deeper catalog: unreleased takes, dub versions, extended disco mixes, and forgotten B-sides that still resonate with Spear’s unwavering spiritual and political voice. These are songs for those ready to go beneath the surface.

Bass Culture - Heavyweight Dub Mix

We take a deep dive into the heaviest, deepest, and most earth-shaking dub sounds of the 1970s with 15 killer, no filler, dub tracks.

This is the era when dub was forged in Kingston's studios, carved into vinyl grooves, and blasted through the most powerful sound systems across Jamaica and beyond. These dubs rattled speakers, lifted minds, and laid the foundation for what we now call bass culture.

So turn up your speakers, feel the bass in your chest, and let’s step into the echo chamber of heavyweight dub.

Martin Campbell: Roots Revivalist with a Modern Sound

This special mix celebrates the voice, vision, and vibration of Martin Campbell, one of the UK’s most dedicated roots reggae artists. With haunting vocals, militant riddims, and dubwise production, his sound remains a powerful bridge between the message-driven reggae of the 1970s and today’s global dub revival.

This was an artist I’d never crossed musical paths with, so when I first heard “Wicked Rule,” my ears perked up. The music was different, his voice stood out with a unique tone and delivery that made me stop and ask What was that? T’ Then I had to relisten several times to wrap my head around what this guy was doing. Released in 1990, it was a blend of digital dancehall sounds, soundsystem-style steppers, and bass, with minimalist production.
