The Temple Brothers: Festival of Dub

The cover evokes memories of Scientist “Heavyweight Dub Champion “awake, a magically lit place at night with people celebrating. While a successfully contested boxing duel is celebrated at Scientist, it is at the “Festival of Dub“The Temple Brothers from New York held the Jewish Hanukkah festival. It was staged by the temple brother and bassist David Gould, who was co-produced in 2011 with a Bill Laswell “Dub of the Passover “crossed our path. Back then, too, he celebrated Jewish musical heritage. Last year his album "Festival of Lights" was released with guests like Linval Thompson and Wayne Jarret, which brings together traditional songs from the Hanukkah festival as reggae versions. Nice songs - I think - but even nicer rhythms. For an American band played incredibly tight and with a terrific bass. An album that looks like a DubVersion that has now actually appeared: "Festival of Dub“(Fresh Roots). Crisp, powerful, inspired and with a beautiful heavenless version. Who hand-played Dub in the best sound quality, should listen here.

Rating: 4 out of 5.

A good album, no question about it. But the Dub-Mixer could have trusted himself a little more and used his delays more daring, I mean.

By the way: Do you already have UB40's "For The Many (Dub)" belongs? I'm not known as the biggest UB40 fan ;-) but the album comes off quite well.

Has only been activated in the stream today. I hear it now. In the last few days I have played the vocal album quite often, which I find - for UB40 standards - extremely good.

woah ... very cool, just play it. By the way, Prince Fatty produced the album by Monkey Jhayam in 2018.
Thanks for the hint!

“A good album, no question about it. But the Dub-Mixer could have trusted himself a little more and used his delays more daring, I mean. "

I would only replace the word “can” with “must”.

But the best bassline here remains “Heavenless” by some blessed bassist from Jamaica.

There is still a little homework to do now - regarding UB40 and Prince Fatty. I think I'll do that right now, right away.

Because I'm a very old UB40 fan of the first four albums. Those were the days !!!
Then they just played business music. And what did it help? Today they are all broke anyway! Sorry but that's the way it is.

crazy in Dub ( Dub Colossus) ………………… lemmi

Aijaijai auweia René!

"Pay It All Back No.7" finally right "Dub for adults ”, Markus Krebs might say and I would like to agree with him, but at the moment I am extremely disappointed.
The only ones who deliver are Little Ax and Ghetto Priest. Apart from that, I have only heard "taste aberration" up until now.
But you can buy it Live and Direct and how should I put it? .... what mom cooks is always eaten, regardless of whether it tastes good (my mom always tastes it, just so that no strange questions arise). Because of my eternal loyalty to On-U.Sound, I'll buy the record and see if it gets a little better with a few beers.
Yes and if someone understood what DUB is Prince Fatty. No further questions ! High grade Dub !
And it may be that after what feels like 30 years I will buy another UB 40 record. The last time I saw them was at the Summerjam (felt like 15 years ago). Actually, I didn't feel like them anymore, but I had to admit: They can really play! As if from one piece! I was impressed !

Homework has never been as nice as it is today ………… lemmi

yo ... is not really tingly, Mr. Sherwood with his 7th retrospective. I can warm up to "War" - whatever the language it is in ... Amharic and then Chinese or something - no experiment, the girls sing well, that makes a difference in contrast to the other Trax. The one-eyed… among the blind… King…. and so.

I have to admit, I fell through again and then the Horace Andy part was really good for me. At first I thought “oh no, not something that was reheated with new sauce” but it touched me more than the first time. And that, although I haven't had a beer yet ;-)

But that's how I know On-U.Sound! It will only be really good when your own mood is right on point.

I'm going to buy them now… .. have a nice weekend and see you …………. lemmi

Moin people, first of all thanks for this blog. I regularly pull out incredibly interesting music here. I have a related question and I am definitely in the right place: What kind of headphones do you use for a decent one Dub-To have experience? In the past I have mostly used studio headphones - they have the advantage that they sound very clean and differentiated - but at the same time it is also their disadvantage - you would definitely like to emphasize and exaggerate the bass frequencies. Do you have a recommendation for me? Oh, in this case it's about headphones that hang on the mobile phone. A system with an equalizer is therefore not available.

Thanks and best regards to everyone!

Apple's Beats Bluetooth headphones. Both the BeatsX and the big Overear: Beats-Solo3 and Beats Studio3. I don't really like promoting Apple products there, but the sound is amazing ... and it has always been important to me to hear wirelessly.
Another tip: the Pacemaker app. Mix the tracks together with a fine transition - but needs a little time until the AI ​​has got to know your music well and mixes it perfectly. I love it ... and best of all: free.

Thank you very much first. Amazing - due to naive prejudices in Marketing & Target Group, I have not even looked at these headphones or dealt with them. I'll get to ...
