Various – Studio One Dub

Soul Jazz’s Studio One Dub collection cannot help but to serve as loving tribute to Sir Coxsone Dodd. This giant of a man not only defined popular music for the isle of Jamaica, but for the world over, his innovations laying the foundations for hip-hop, dance and post-rock … Dodd’s dubs drew on such a fertile ground of classic Jamaican rhythms that he rarely missed. As such, it’s difficult to find fault with the versions presented here and many of these cuts are ridiculously rare … This burning set celebrates Dodd’s extraordinary life by mashing time and space until it’s joyfully suspended. What better tribute could there be?”
