Have to respectfully disagree with you there, sir. Sorry but I saw many perplexed looks when "Tell me Why" was played. If I go to a regular reggae dance, with music provided by sound systems, yes I would expect all kinds of reggae, maybe even soca and some rnb. If I go to a "Roots & Culture" clash, I expect to hear the kind of music Shanti, Iration, WSP, Kibir am Lak, Jah Voice would play, "Roots & Culture", with most of it with heavy "bline", clear mids and tops. Don't want to hear Lovers, or "vocal acapella", or even "dancehall" clash style plates, just played to mention the sounds name.. Even my girl said "why are two of the systems playing so much soft music, and this is supposed to be a roots ting !?" Last time I heard Spanners, Trendsetter, Roots Renegade play, selection was faultless, and those guys are not even "West Indian", so "probably" can't raid their Mom's or Dads record collection, for some King Tubbys vinyl, or were collecting Trojans/greensleeves from school. "Simples".. Edited by JudgeDredd - 05 October 2011 at 11:13am |

I agree with Judge Dredds first point regarding Beres, but your second statement regarding Trendsetter is incorrect. I wasn't at the October sound off due to work but was at the September one where Trendsetter played 'Black Skin Boys by 15,16 & 17' which is a lovers rock tune... Looking forward to the next one. Big up Motion 54 and all the souds that took part |

Yes, Paulus will play a lover's tune, but only if they have a heavy bline, which I give a pass in this instance. |

Fair enough - but then I believe Al Grey should also get a pass too if its the only non roots and culture tune that he played? Lets not be biased.... |

Big difference, you got Roots n Culture scene where for me it may be a soundcheck or a just a dance but youl hear music across the board all under the genre reggae, now when you go hear big sounds... as much as you may hate it its called roots n DUB... all promotions where sounds mentioned above like King E, Makaya, WSP, Jah Voice, Aba, Iration... the nights are called DUB nights... UOD, Dub School, DUb Club here Dub Club there.
Many times I say concentrate on the music, if your ambition is to play against a big sound, get yourself out of these sound checks, build up your DUBs and book a dance with a sound and play them.... then again if you aint got no vibe then stick to the culture scene.

Very valid input.. So does that mean at a Rice n Peas or GP Roots ting, a sound "shouldn't" play dub all night ?
OK, so maybe more correct to say, some of us were expecting to hear more dub, as opposed to generic "roots & culture" tunes then. Edited by JudgeDredd - 05 October 2011 at 12:13pm |

Good arguments from all corners on the music selection .................... I'd just like to say each Soundsystems/machines to their own, if they're happy with their selections, then all's well, the people will decide with their feet .............................. True or not
Peace......................... |
