Dubmatix Sticky Icky Reggae Mix

1975: Funk in a World on Fire

A dive into the sound that moved bodies and minds in the pivotal mid-’70s.
From Parliament’s interstellar soul to The O’Jays’ righteous calls and fat basslines from Ohio Players and B.T. Express — every track here carries weight.
Ride with us through “Mothership Connection (Star Child)” down to “Do It (‘Til You’re Satisfied)” — it’s a cosmic trip back to funk’s golden moment.

1975 was a year of global transformation — wars ended, new nations emerged, and culture was shifting rapidly. The funk tracks on this mix don’t just sound good — they sit in the middle of this decisive moment.

Bass & Breaks – Reggae Meets the Breakbeat

There’s something magical about the intersection of reggae and breakbeat — the way the low-end weight of sound system culture locks with the snap of classic drum breaks. This mix is built for movement: rolling basslines, chopped breaks, and a fusion of hip-hop swagger and reggae vibes. Whether you’re nodding along at home or turning it up on a big rig, this one’s designed to rattle the floor and keep the energy high.

The Maytals: Choirboy Soul, Kingston Grit, and the Birth of Reggae

Frederick “Toots” Hibbert grew up singing gospel in rural Jamaica before moving to Kingston. Alongside Henry “Raleigh” Gordon and Nathaniel “Jerry” Matthias, he formed The Maytals in 1962. Their stacked harmonies and call-and-response vocals carried a gospel intensity that set them apart.

• Church-honed harmonies: Toots grew up singing gospel; the trio formed in Kingston (1962). Their stacked, call-and-response vocals came straight from church to the dancehall.

• Name & lineup: The “Maytals” began as a vocal trio; by the 1970s, the touring/recording band—Beverley’s All-Stars (Jackie Jackson, Paul Douglas, Hux Brown, Rad Bryan, Winston Wright, etc.)—became the powerhouse behind Toots & The Maytals.

Why it mattered: That gospel and soul energy over Jamaican rhythms made their sound instantly human and uplifting—like Otis Redding fronting a ska/rocksteady band. It helped reggae feel familiar to global ears.
