The EP features a set of versions of the original Gorgon Sound rhythms, mixed by Bristol’s very-own Dubkasm, in four successive sessions down in their studio in Easton, Bristol.
Dubkasm add their analogue-glow and sonic signature with the use of their legendary soundtrac CM440 mixing console, carefully channelling the track’s signals through chains of spring reverb, tape delays and specially crafted effects modulators – for the soundsytem operator and version excursionists, a part 2 is simply a must, for the rest, this is a chance to hear the tracks reinterpreted and reignited in their full musical glory.
2 x 12″ served in 5mm spine, screenprinted front sleeve, hand-stamped back. Cut at 45rpm and mastered via 1/2 inch tape by Lewis at Star Delta.

The accumulation of months of hard work down in the Dubkasm studio, Shady Grove is a homage to Bristol’s St. Paul’s, and the many places of inspiration, culturally and musically, that it offered to the likes of Stryda & Digi, especially during the 90’s….
“We dedicate this album to the community of St Pauls in Bristol, now being stifled by gentrification. We hope this LP is a musical window into a time when the neighbourhood, despite being plagued by poverty and constant racist intrusion from the authorities, had an energy, a rebellious spirit and nightlife that inspired the music which has made Bristol world famous.”
Musically speaking, this LP is purpose built for the Dub LP format – stick on the record and let it play from start to finish, with no interruption!
Shady Grove, whilst inimitably ‘Dubkasm’ all the way – nods to the benchmarks and signature styles of original dubwise production – wether that’s a vintage tape-delayed, spring reverb’d analog sound as we know it from the founders of dub during the 70s, or a wicked & wild chain of digital effects, as heard in the later 80’s and during the 90’s, by producers such as Sly & Robbie or Philip ‘Fattis’ Burrel, the name behind the Exterminator label.
Another proud factor is the inclusion of so many great recording artists – from Dub Judah to Blood Shanti, through to Tom Fenech (the Victory Hornsman) and Rider Shafique, who appears on the title track, a previously unreleased dubwise cut of ‘Enter The Gates’, the LP features a whole heap of singers and players of instruments, just like the best of the dub LPs.
The LP is one of those that you’ll be able to stick on in years to come – a highly enjoyable listen and a true masterclass in dub technique, Dubkasm style!
Heavyweight vinyl Hand-stamped paper inner sleeve. Mastered & cut by Lewis at Stardelta. Comes with 12″ x 12″ b&w printed insert, with a special text from Dubkasm explaining the background history behind each track title.
Miraculously rare and seriously obscure killer dubs...one of the very few hard core seventies dub albums mixed by Errol Brown.
A selection of solid dubs originally recorded by BB Seaton at Duke Reid's legendary Treasure Isle studio and mixed in-house by the Duke's nephew Errol Brown. A radical departure for all concerned this bold dub album was never officially released although a few clandestine copies reputedly did the New York rounds at the time.
A selection of rocking rhythms from The Revolutionaries masterminded by Jamaica's finest female record producer, Mrs Sonia Pottinger, and mixed by Duke Reid's nephew, Errol Brown, chief engineer at the legendary Treasure Isle studio.

At the same time that Neville 'Bunny Wailer' Livingston recorded his debut solo long playing masterpiece, 'Blackheart Man', he was also creating a series of singles for his own Solomonic label. These records were every bit as good, at times even better, but they have never been released outside of Jamaica. Until now...;
It is next to impossible to ever overstate the importance of The Wailers to the history of Jamaican music and, as the last surviving member of the group, Bunny Wailer rightly regards himself as the sole keeper of their history ever mindful of the group's exalted position in the story of reggae music and the importance of their legacy. In 2010 Dub Store were proud to be able to work with Bunny on re-releasing a selection of his earliest recordings for the Solomonic label, lovingly restored and presented in reproduction sleeves and labels, on limited edition seven and twelve inch singles. Now, taking another step forward, we are more than proud to present Bunny's timeless music on two beautifully packaged CD's and double LP's.
Bunny's first solo album, 'Blackheart Man' originally released in 1976 on his own Solomonic label in Jamaica and on Island in the UK, is one of the undisputed all time classics of Jamaican music and established Bunny Wailer as a highly respected, world renowned artist in his own right. During this period Bunny also produced a series of singles released in Jamaica and the UK in strictly limited quantities without the benefit of international distribution, that are every bit as good and, in some cases, even better than this awesome debut long player. Original copies have subsequently become highly prized, and highly priced, collector's items. "Classic rarities" is an overused and abused term too often employed to describe average records that failed to sell on their initial release but both 'Tread Along' and 'Rise & Shine' are packed from beginning to end with a searing selection of some of the greatest and hardest to find reggae records ever produced.
'Tread Along' opens, naturally enough, with 'Tread Along' from 1969, one of the last singles for The Wailers' own Wail N Soul M label, and runs through the first release on the Solomonic label, 'Searching For Love' also known as 'Search For I', 'Bide Up' released as 1974 drew to a close, a radical reworking of 'Pass It On' and a marked contrast to the version on The Wailers' 'Burnin'', album, 'Life Line' and the prophetic 'Arabs Oil Weapon' kept the pressure on as Bunny began outlining the flawless 'Blackheart Man' album. Each release was a certified classic in its own right.
Peter Tosh's melodica version to Bunny's 'Amagideon' ('Armageddon'), the first track on 'Rise & Shine', is followed by 'Love Fire', an update of another Wail N Soul M track, 'Fire Fire'/'Babylon Burning', through to one of the deepest roots records ever created, 'Rise & Shine', on to 'Riding' from the 'Bunny Wailer Sings The Wailers' sessions (but not featured on the album) and a huge hit in the UK in 1981, and closing with 'Rule Dance Hall' from 1985. No idle boast...;
The liner notes feature the story of The Wailers, as told to Dub Store by Bunny himself in Kingston in an enlightening 2012 interview, and rarely seen contemporary photographs complete these essential releases. The music of Bunny Wailer was not only a medium for change and protest but also to elucidate and educate and 'Tread Along' and 'Rise & Shine' finally complete the canon of un-compiled Wailers music.
"I'm quite satisfied, you know, reggae music is the kind of music that although sometimes you would look at it and say...; boy, it's hard...; then again you look at what it has done for the people of the world you know that that couldn't be locked up in a little place like Jamaica!" Bunny Wailer

ZamZam 82 marks our first collaboration with another label - the mighty Dubquake Records outta Geneva! We’ve long been fans of O.B.F. and Dubquake, so when Von D proposed the collaboration all sides were eager to make it happen.
Nazamba burst on the global sound system scene in 2018 with O.B.F. and the Bug-produced stormer “Vex,” and has since worked exclusively with O.B.F. and Dubquake, releasing two singles and a powerful statement of an LP last year. Firmly in the tradition of the great dub poets such as Prince Far-I, LKJ, and Mutabaruka, Nazamba has digested the lessons of the past and is now changing the game by carving his own niche in the living history of dub poetry. His lyrics are born from lessons learned living in Kingston, and meditations on life, spirit, and the trials imposed by Babylon.
To celebrate the newly minted Modern Hypnosis VA series, why not whack in a vinyl only 7”? why not feature a rare minimal outing from Red Robin’s co- founding riddim merchant Naram? why not further seal the deal with a jam from featured, Bristolian scoop-music lord, Versa on the flip? Yea sounds good, lock it in. One for the collectors and selectors.
As we keep exploring the outer wilds of dubwise music, we're happy to welcome Jah Schulz with a very special release on the basscomesaveme label.

This top skanking release from the Dub Conductor music label features two fantastic and legendary vocalists, Sandeeno and Johnny Clarke on the same riddim. Dub Conductor have had some fun in the production, processing both vocals to give a digital feel to the tracks. The end product is a bouncy vibe with some serious bass pressure and inspiring messages throughout. The A side, Sandeeno’s ‘Zion Train’, features a robotic and iconic spoken introduction inviting all ‘Ladies and Gentlemen’ to step on board the zion train or face the wrath of babylon, outlining the theme of the track. Johnny Clarke on the B Side has a much more relaxed message, perfectly suited for reggae skanking. The message is simple. DANCE!
This release from Dub Conductor features two epic steppers remixes of the original track ‘500 years’ by Manchester reggae band, Extra Love. For the A Side, DC have kept the full vocal from Kuntri Ranks, allowing his historic and powerful message to ring out fully throughout the track. this is accompanied by Extra Love’s iconic crispy horns section, which has been cut and spliced to perfection to bounce in and out of the wicked new dub style arrangement. On the B Side, Dub Conductor provide us with a different remix which takes a big leap away from the original roots reggae track, yet maintains the same positive vibe. The track is a serious uncompromisingly heavyweight steppers ridden, including a catchy repeated horns lick sampled from the original which provides the music with a meditative roots music feeling. Dub Conductor’s 500 Years release comes jam paced with energy, fortified with blazing horns, anthem vocals and as always, powerful bass and will surely set each and every reggae dance of fire!
Introducing the seventh vinyl release on the Dub Conductor Music label. This time, we feature the explosive sounds of Blackout JA on the A-Side, with a track called ‘World Cry.’ A passionate vocal performance from a singer at the top of his game, Blackout JA eloquently expresses a need for love and unity in a world which is crying out in sufferation. The anthemic vocal is accompanied by a hard hitting melodic baseline and a crisp, punchy riddim created in the Dub Conductor Studios. The B-Side of this release features the energetic synth-based instrumental track, ‘Hunting Warrior’. The raw effects and tribal sounds take the listener deep into the echo chamber on a journey of pure musical upliftment.
Presenting the 5th release on the Dub Conductor Music label. This one comes in a different style to usual, and we have been lucky enough to feature the legendary trombonist Vin Gordon on a brand new dancehall-tinged bubbler! The horns were recorded in The Rolling Lion Studio, London in July 2014 . The rest of the track was mixed and produced by Dub Conductor in our Ireland based studios.
