Dub ina (east) midlands

Koncrete Roots – Inity Step – Dub-o-phonic DPH 011

An excellent tune with a mad repeating one-note throbbing bassline from the LP “Dub ina Midlands” by Koncrete Roots who hails from Leicestershire in the UK. The said album was played non-stop all week after getting it from the Dub-o-phonic net label as a free download (just like the rest of their releases!) last month.

Big up the great Dub-o-phonic label from the island of Cyprus (home of Haji Mike, Dub Thomas and Med Dred) and a label worth having a gander at!

Pause for the cause

Big shout to our gardening friend Med Dred from Cyprus for letting us know about this good cause.

Himself and Haji Mike (who both release tunes on the dubophonic net label) have been invited to go to Japan to play a charity concert for the victims of the Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011 (the worst of its kind since Chernobyl)

The event takes place in Koriyama City, 55km from the Daiichi nuclear reactor plant in the district of Fukushima on November 29th, 2013. Their campaign on gofundme.com aims to raise the funds to cover return air fares and touring costs while in Japan. If you have any spare folding bung it their way! More info here.

He has just emailed us a great one of a well healthy looking Basil cutting, happily rooting away in a glass of water (above), how good is that? He also sent us the link to his new free downloadable EP out now (click here for the download). Big up Med Dred! Reggae and gardening do mix!
