Riddimentary - Suns of Dub Selects Greensleeves

By Erik Magni on Wednesday, July 12, 2017 - Comment

Loads of reggae classics when Suns of Dub select their Greensleeves favorites.

Sampler

Jamaican ensemble and production crew Suns of Dub – led by deejay Ras Jammy, with the late Augustus Pablo’s son Addis Pablo on melodica and Jah Bami as MC– has created a mixtape for VP/Greensleeves by using the label’s extensive catalogue.

Suns of Dub - Selection Riddimentary is a musical journey and a time travel back to the 70s and early 80s. Addis Pablo and Suns of Dub have selected crucial cuts that have inspired their musical output and in the continuous mix – without any sound effects or mixing wizardry – you’ll find classics from reggae legends like Sugar Minott, Dillinger, Jacob Miller and, of course Augustus Pablo, who kicks off the set in fine style with his Far East sound.

This set is an excellent introduction to conscious reggae and rootsy dancehall and be sure to check slightly lesser known cuts like John Wayne’s Call the Police or Tenor Saw’s Golden Hen.
