DUB CONFERENCE Pt 9 29/12/07

Bring dem 2 the next session..

Good dance overall a brilliant ending to the year,

Both sounds sounded on top form, Iration using the Fane 'Turbo max' and Void infi8 v2 amps.  Could hear the difference in bass tones from the 1850 and the turbo max.  Turbo max sounding the best much more rounder bass than the rugged 1850s.  Both sounds playing with four scoops.

Things turned quite hectic when mark accidentally turned on his set while Jah Voice was playing and was then lynched verbally by Ras Tread who reminded us all of how many years he had been on the seen etc etc.. then as things progressed there was comical exchanged of words by both guys which resulted in Ras Tread dissing SuB Dub promotions in Leeds of which Mark is Proprietor of.

Mark suggested 'one for one from now on' and then continued playing dub plate selection of Horace Andy and counteracting what Ras Tread was saying.  Making it clear that he was not dissing Jah Voice but Ras Tread.  Ras Tread continued with his big ego saying why 'Mark was a lone man in the soundsytem scene' and that true sound men have a team. 

Mark then retaliated by saying that great sounds like 'Shaka' Aba' are lone operators and what was the problem.  Ras Tread then told the crowd that Mark had to upgrade his sound to play against Jah Voice and something about moving a flightcase around, of which Mark said that how did he know when he wasn't present at the dance making Ras Tread look stupid again.

What is the problem with the man Ras Tread?...is he always looking for a fight or what?.  I don't wish to be biased but enough is enough... who invented wireless microphones should be shot....lol

Good selection overall Iration playing a dubplate utilizing  Bunny Wailers 'rise and shine' bassline  A  Jr Delgado ' fort augustus dubplate, - Mighty Massa dub, and a Aswad rework of an instumental - ending the dance with Makaya & Ras Kuntus dubplate.

Thanks for the reply,
I think Jah Voice can do justice to themselves now by getting rid off Tread.  I think the Herbs might have got to him .  As he says..'' Jah Voice the people choice'' .....well he's not my choice  if fact a de-motion to a box boy might be suffice. 

This leading me to thought of has there ever been a soundsystem having a female mic/singer controller?...

I do believe that Jah Voice played a King Earthquake dub and one from their engineer and legend ' Wooligan' (Mind Insurgent promotions)  I think that's how you spell it. 

I also belive that Jah Voices management is less inclined to play their own engineer 'Wooligan' productions.  The scandal get's deeper.........

Yes mskeete, 2008 at some point... its sounded better than some of the tunes we heard that night. I asked Johno and Mark to keep that session in the same place every 2 months, we would definately travel,  would not business who or what session was taking place.
