In 1991 started to MC at London's Dub Club. Just when you thought you’d seen the end of the “best of 2012” lists malarkey on Louder Than War along we come with another! This one, however, is a bit different to what we’ve been publishing over the last few days as it focusses on just one (albeit quite broad) genre & because it’s a list of some awesome music that it’s pretty unlikely you’ll have heard before.Started MCing in 1982 for Jah Revelation Muzik sound system, toured in USA, Jama… Read Full Bio ↴ Started MCing in 1982 for Jah Revelation Muzik sound system, toured in USA, Jamaica and Canada through out the 80s. The list has, as you’ll have gathered from the title, been compiled by our resident guru of all things loosely fitting under the umbrella “Digidub”, Gareth Main. And accompanying the list is a soundtrack mix featuring a lot of the music in Gareth’s. Smart advice therefore would be for you to scroll down to the Soundcloud embed, click play, then come back And start reading from the “Let me get this straight from the off” below. Sorted? Cool. End of year lists, although not quite pointless, are definitely misleading. So when I was asked by Louder Than War for my top dub, digidub and general top albums from across the reggae-cum-dancehall spectrum, I couldn’t give an answer, primarily because so many great records would miss the cut purely for not being long enough to constitute an album. ![]() This is the weakness of genres that tend to release through clubs – on dubplates and on individual tracks put to an MC by a producer. So despite my derision of these types of lists, I decided to put together a top 20 of records – whether released as CD albums, 12″/10″/7â vinyl, digital or just uploaded to Soundcloud that have come out in 2012. Loads have missed the cut, and the order is rather arbitrary based on one person’s preference at the time of writing. The joy of great music is that every track provides something new, interesting and different. So I’ve tried to incorporate as many great artists as possible with as few duplications as possible, that means that if you love one of these artists, go and dig deeper, because it’s inevitable they’ve released more incredible music this year.Ģ0 7FT Soundsystem x Brother Culture – DubplateĪs I wrote in my debut digidupe column for this site, dub music has spread far and wide across the globe. The internet makes collaborations intercontinental affairs and this track, released in February, puts London MC Brother Culture up alongside the All Hope Riddim from South Africa’s 7FT Soundsystem. It was released on Soundcloud back in February, and was amongst the first brilliant tracks that set a high bar for 7FT Soundsystem’s output in 2012.ġ9 YT – Revolution Time 12″ (Renegade Masters) The result is a delectable slice of digi reggae. The first LP on Soom T’s Renegade Masters label features the brilliantly monikered MC YT with his third long player. Unashamed reggae, pulling in riddims from Mungo’s HiFi, Nucleus Roots and Kris Kemist amongst others, when it was released back in the summer, it was a perfect soundtrack for the odd days of sun we managed. It also came with the best or worst album cover of the year depending on my mood – it’s certainly in contention for both though.ġ8 Various – Jahtarian Dubbers Vol.3 12″ (Jahtari) The Jahtari compilation is an essential part of any modern dub collection. ![]() The third volume failed to match the unquantifiable brilliance of its predecessor, but it still came up with the goods.
