03/11/07: SUBDUB: Iration Meets King Earthquake

hey where is the UOD on the 16th?

Hello all, i was at the dance and believe me it was a real eye opener, the dance had a vibe that i have never witnessed before, brilliant. I was in my element, Ive only ever heard King Earthquake with one stack at Dubfest, @ Subdub he played with two stacks of three and sounded awsome, Iration Steppa's also sounded exellent, no faults at all, both sounds played brilliant and exiting dubs.

King Earthquake played; Gregory Isaacs, Rod Taylor, Ranking Joe, all exclusive on dubplate.
Iration Steppa's played; Horace Andy, Ranking Joe, Eek a mouse all exclusive on cd.

The whole night was exellent, both sounds playing in harmony, and yes it did take a long while to recover, the atmosphere was electric, well done to both sounds, it was well worth the travel.
  

Jus found this little snippet from the dance...

GIVE THANKS FOR THE REPORTS, BUT I WAS NOT COMPARING THE TUNES OLD V NEW, IT WAS THE FACT THAT OF COURSE WE LIKE A SOUND'S WEIGHT ETC, BUT NOBODY ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT THE MUSIC!  APPROX 5 POSTS WITHOUT MENTIONING WHAT WAS PLAYED.

I'm glad to see Headbanger pointing out the importance of the music played, AND the responses from people who did listen as well as enjoying the session!

As to the interest of which sudios/productions they were.... well thats a tight thing with sounds nowadays, just like the old days. Most of Errols tunes are his own productions, and the way he plays/knows them is part of the strength of his sound, he definatley has impact where ever he plays. Nuff respect for how he's come (back) in to the scene at the top, doin his thing and not waiting for others to 'rate' him, the crowd see it and feel it!

As for Iration, all the specials would be from his own studio, with riddims built by himself and Dennis Rootical. Many tunes he plays would be from the UK stalwarts: Disciples, Muffet, Keety Roots, Alpha & Omega, Vibronics as well as newer folks like Dubateers and some European producers, and further afield. As for the special dubs... most of thats closed door business.

I never made the session, sounds like i missed out. I'll be at the SE1, just down the road from me. Look forward to a part two, and hoping Aba joins in!!

GREETINGS AND RESPECT, BUT MY EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN ME THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO HAVE THE BEST SOUNDING SOUND OR THE HEAVIEST SOUND TO RIP UP A DANCE. IN NORTH LONDON WE NEVER HAD THE HEAVIEST SOUNDS BUT THEY REPRESENTED!! IF YOU HEARD FATMAN OR UNITY BACK IN THE DAY YOU WOULD KNOW.
