A few seconds in and I knew the riff immediately. It has been sampled by Wu-Tang Clan but I knew it from this. Always a moment when the source is revealed for a sound you have had in your head for years

 

 

Never heard that, it’s really good 👍

I’ve been down a bit of a rabbit hole lately listening to some tracks by Serge Gainsbourg, he did some work with sly and Robbie , the unmistakable Bassline from Robbie on this one 

and some good footage on this

also a nice tune with marianne faithful

Many thanks for this, I remember Black Echoes well, and I bought ,king tubby meets the rockers uptown when it came out, and I’ve still got it now

A journalist has tracked down the author of the list from Black Echoes and interviewed them https://dubreggae.tumblr.com/post/673948657498849280/one-of-historys-best-music-lists-better-than there is also a 81 hour playlist on Spotify plus many other links in the article to all sorts of amazing things. For example a 1975 Saturday night Capital Radio dub session from Tommy Vance!

Thanks for this, there’s some great info and links in there, one took me to a king tubby track that I haven’t heard for years

I'll dip my toe in... linked to @Bunion 'police  in helicopter' a couple of pages back I discovered Ernest Ranglin last week. Lots of classic rhythms hidden in a lighter jazz style. My personal music route means this is actually the 'Street tuff' rhythm. 😉

He is great, and plays a lot with pianist Monty Alexander who takes things even further down the Jazz route.

This is from their website 😁, Eastbourne, where you at? Get yourself down to the dance on 17th April 2022 for dub sirens galore and those nourishing rolling basslines. Tickets available
