01.24.14 - THE ROOTS OF SOUND SYSTEM II - ROOTS & CULTURE

Friday | Janurary 24th, 2014 | 9pm - 3am

@ The Paper Box
17 Meadow Street, Williamsburg
► Tickets: http://bit.ly/1d35fpD

/// Dub-Stuy Records and Deadly Dragon Sound are excited to present UK legend and 2010 RBMA Culture Clash winner Channel One Sound System for the second edition of The Roots of Sound System. This quarterly party brings together top-selectors and sound systems from around the world to showcase a specific style of Jamaican music on the most appropriate of formats: Dub-Stuy’s hand-crafted 15,000W speaker stack. This ‘Roots & Culture’ edition will focus on roots reggae and UK dub with each performer digging deep into their vaults, playing some of their most vital records and rare dubplates. In addition to Channel One, the lineup features New York’s own Tony Screw a.k.a. Downbeat the Ruler, host emcee Screechy Dan and both Deadly Dragon and Dub-Stuy crew.

Channel One Sound System has spent the past 30 years solidifying their reputation as one of world’s heaviest hitting roots reggae sounds. Selector Mikey Dread and his brother Trevor grew up in the sound system business. Their father, who ran the ADMIRAL BAILEY sound system in Jamaica and then Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, passed the mantle to them in 1979. They christened their new sound as CHANNEL ONE, in homage to the famous Jamaican Label of the same name, and began selecting at underground “Blues” parties in London. Over the past decades, Channel One has been instrumental in the preservation and development of Sound System culture in the UK, inspiring an entire new generation of sound systems while influencing the evolution of some of its descendents such as dubstep and jungle among others. Their yearly Notting Hill Carnival appearance has become an institution and they have taken their positive message throughout the UK, Europe, South America and finally, on January 24th, to the USA. 

Since the early 70’s, Tony Screw, a.k.a. Downbeat the Ruler, has been entertaining and educating crowds, from Brooklyn to Berlin, with his inimitable blend of stage presence, exclusive dubplates and a second sense for keeping a dance floor packed. Named in honor of Tony Screw’s musical mentor Sir Coxsone Dodd, Downbeat the Ruler Sound has introduced generations of reggae fans to the sounds of Studio One, the blueprint of Jamaican music. 

New York-based sound system and record shop Deadly Dragon Sound System has been selecting and sharing their love of Jamaican music since 1995. Featuring Selectors Scratch Famous, JD, Queen Majesty and Mr. K., Deadly Dragon Sound continues to be a force in the reggae community as selectors, retailers, radio hosts and collectors of reggae music from the foundation of Ska all the way up to the newest riddims bubbling up from the yard. 

Dub-Stuy Records is a Brooklyn-based record label dedicated to promoting bass music and sound system culture in NYC and beyond. Through their music productions and custom-built 15,000 watt sound system nicknamed the “Tower of Sound”, Dub-Stuy productions bring together the communities of dub, hip-hop, global bass and dubstep. The team behind the label has produced events as Sound Liberation Front since 2007, including the Dub Invasion Festival in 2011 and the Coney Island Reggae Beach Party. ///

12.14.13 - DIG DEEPER PRESENTS KEITH & TEX

Dig Deeper is honored to present legendary Jamaican rocksteady stars Keith & Tex for a rare Brooklyn appearance backed by Crazy Baldhead and special guest Queen P on backing vocals. Crazy Baldhead will be opening the night with their own set!

Keith & Tex (Keith Rowe and Texas Dixon) actively recorded for just a few brief years in the late sixties in Kingston, Jamaica - but in that short window with producer Derrick Harriott, they created some of the iconic singles of soulful rocksteady, the bridge between the frenetic sounds of ska and the mellower vibe we've all come to know as reggae.

"Stop that train", their mellower take on the Spanishtonians' ska hit is instantly recognizable from the turn of the opening guitar lick, and has grown to be one of the best-known records of the rocksteady era, both on its own merits as well as from Scotty's "Draw your breaks" version that appeared on the immensely popular soundtrack to "The Harder They Come", in addition to being sampled by the Beastie Boys and Vanilla Ice, among others.

Since parting ways in 1970 – Keith moving to the US and Tex to Canada – Keith & Tex have reunited only a handful of times. It is high time that Brooklyn have the chance to hear "Stop that train", "Tonight", "This is my song", "Hypnotizing eyes", and many of their other singles, performed by the original masters of the rocksteady era.

Guest DJ Scratch Famous of Deadly Dragon Sound System joins residents DJ Honky and Mr. Robinson, spinning all original rocksteady, reggae, ska, and soul 45s.

09.19.13 - DUB CHAMPIONS FESTIVAL at THE DELANCEY

Subatomic Sound presents
DUB CHAMPIONS FESTIVAL 2013
Opening Night in NYC with
Deadly Dragon Sound

Dub Champions Festival day 1! Warm up on the first night of the festival in NYC with a Thursday institution, Deadly Dragon Sound’s weekly rub-a-dub party, right around the corner from the Deadly Dragon record shop, is temporarily homeless with the closing of Happy Ending, so we will be throwing the opening party downstairs at The Delancey: dedicated vinyl selectors (aka DJs) with DJs (aka MCs) rocking the mic, preserving the Jamaican sound system culture from which dub originally evolved.

This will be the US debut of India’s first sound system crew, Reggae Rajahs out of New Delhi. Always expect surprise guests. Vibes come correct. The night will start bubbling early, 7pm, with Carter Van Pelt, radio host of Eastern Standard Time – WKCR 89.9 FM and the long running Coney Island Reggae on the Boardwalk summer beach parties.

                                                                               

Reggae Rajahs (out of India!)

ADMISSION IS FREE!

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The third annual Dub Champions Festival is a 5 day journey into the international musical phenomenon called “dub” a style characterized by heavy bass, drums, and copious use of effects, where the producers become the artists and the mixing board becomes an instrument. The festival features both performances & educational workshops to exhibit how the music is created and has evolved from the original roots in Jamaican reggae of the 1970s to becoming a cornerstone of the future of electronic bass music. Along the way it has redefined the role of producer and influenced and inspired countless artists and genres from rap to rock to punk to dance music.
Dub Champions Festival was founded in New York City by Emch from Subatomic Sound (www.SubatomicSound.com) and third annual USA festival takes place this year in New York City, Washington DC, & Philadelphia.
