Taken from Jah Shaka's Dub Salute series, a monograph celebrating the Zulu King of Sound System Culture.

Jah Shaka, DUB SALUTE 3 featuring Willie Williams.

“A keening sound cuts you, trailing a tail like a comet. Shaka playing his harp, then syn-drum; he hits it with a drumstick or plays it with his hands, the abstract texture melodies that race like liquid neon through each vein. This is a music, a great improvisation, that goes beyond reggae or any other musical division. Almost beyond physical music, into the mystic; sheets of energy shooting from the barricading standing store speakers”.

Vivien Goldman

By the 1970s, the “Shaka System” was in full effect, and Shaka had become a key figure within the British dancehall and dub scenes.
Shaka’s system quickly gained a large and loyal following due to his unique mix of profoundly spiritual content, high-energy rhythms, and unmatched, sonorous sound.

Not so much a true dub version but maybe a dub companion album, Dub Setter features remixes, dubs, outtakes, and “radical reworks” with Perry and Sherwood's Mighty Upsetter album as the source. Make note, these “reworks” are extra “radical,” as in unexpected, even from these two dub mavericks. After two thick and dank dubs that sound like the duo's 1990 effort From the Secret Laboratory but without all the robotics, Dub Setter dives into the unclassifiable with the slow, soft fusion of “Lucky Tarzan,” a cut featuring plenty of sax, gypsy violins, and a solid reggae bassline. Sherwood's work with the Asian Dub Foundation is a heavy influence on the tabla-filled “Elixir of Life,” but nothing in either of the duo’s back catalogs sounds like the exotic “Taboo,” which could be passed off as a Jamaican house band recording Salon music for a David Lynch soundtrack. Every clever and outlandish idea is anchored by full-bodied grooves, and when it comes to sonics, this is a warm, dynamic sound field that's prime for an attentive headphone listen. Highly recommended for the musically adventurous, but Perry fans with expectations should be warned that the album does tip toward Sherwood, and even in Scratch's wildly varied discography, a slow, sumptuous dub album with tablas and some Euro-nostalgia is still a curveball.

Il secondo episodio di "CARNIVAL" si intitola Vapore Mix, mélange musicale a cura del guest Sealow, in collaborazione con la web radio Astarbene.
Sealow, all’anagrafe Simone Patti, nasce a Roma nel 1993, ed è proprio nel fertile ambiente indipendente della capitale che troverà gli input necessari per intraprendere un percorso musicale tutto suo, fatto di ritmi in levare e potenti bassi caraibici, progressioni New Soul ed un linguaggio inevitabilmente influenzato, da una parte, dal mondo del Rap a cavallo tra la vecchia e la nuova scuola, e dall’altra dalla importante corrente del cantautorato italiano.
Dopo aver ulteriormente allargato i suoi orizzonti con la fondazione del collettivo “Astarbene.com” (un portale dedicato a 360 gradi al mondo della musica Reggae e delle sue derivazioni affiancato da una Web Radio) e forte di una ormai importante gavetta, il cantante romano si lancia nella pubblicazione di una serie di singoli che lo porteranno ad affinare il suo stile unico e personale, in cui possiamo trovare un piccolo pezzo di ogni tappa del suo percorso, ma sempre con una sfaccettatura inedita.
Nel 2020 entra a far parte del roster della label “Macro Beats” (già etichetta e rampa di lancio di artisti come Ghemon, Mecna e CRLN).

Il cantante romano è la sintesi perfetta tra linguaggio metropolitano, ritmi in levare e ambientazioni proprie della nuova scuola Urban mondiale. Nel 2020 ha debuttato ufficialmente con l’album “Onde”.

The second episode of "CARNIVAL" is titled Vapore Mix, a musical mélange by the host Sealow, in collaboration with the web radio Astarbene.
Sealow, born Simone Patti, was born in Rome in 1993, and it is precisely in the fertile independent environment of the capital that he will find the necessary ideas to embark on a musical journey of his own, made of cheerful and powerful Caribbean bass rhythms, New Soul progressions and a language inevitably influenced, on the one hand, by the world of Rap between old and new school, and on the other by the important current of Italian songwriting.
After having further broadened his horizons with the foundation of the collective "Astarbene.com" (a portal dedicated to the world of Reggae music and its derivations flanked by a Web Radio) and thanks to an apprenticeship by now important, the Roman singer launches in the publication of a series of singles that will lead him to refine his unique and personal style, in which we can find a small piece of each stage of his journey, but always with an unprecedented facet.
In 2020 he joined the roster of the "Macro Beats" label (former label and springboard for artists such as Ghemon, Mecna and CRLN).
The Roman singer is the perfect synthesis of metropolitan language, cheerful rhythms and typical settings of the new global Urban school. In 2020 he officially debuted with the album "Waves".
