- Dubspot is very proud to present Roots & Future - a special month-long video series celebrating the pioneers, innovators, and torch-bearers of Jamaican music. We begin Roots & Future month with a look at Kingston's current soundscapes.
Since the late 1960s, the small island nation of Jamaica has maintained one of the world's most vibrant music scenes, sparked various musical styles and revolutions (reggae, ska, dub, and dancehall to name a few), and introduced new recording and production techniques to the world. Without question, Jamaican music and culture continues to influence a wide variety of musical genres around the globe.
In this first installment of Roots & Future, Dubspot instructor and Dutty Artz co-founder Matt Shadetek caught up with DJ and producer Gabrie Selassie of Rockers Sound Station and Kingston Dub Club for an interview about sound system culture and roots music in 21st century Kingston, keeping alive the musical traditions of Rockers, one of the many innovative sound systems and recording labels established during the golden age of Jamaican music by pioneer roots reggae artist and dub producer Augustus Pablo. In the video, we are also introduced to the Suns of Dub, a collaborative project between Augustus Pablo's son Addis Pablo and Ras Jammy. Gabrie Selassie also talked about the importance of having a unique sound, and using music as a tool to bridge boundaries.

Bless up Yared, Gabrie is doing some great works for the new generation. Was an honor to build with him on this project.
Lo and behold the roots rise again.
Indeed. Respect.
Love and respect to everyone checking the video and commenting. Gabrie is really doing some important works for the new roots movement happening around Kingston right now. Was an incredible vibe and honor to build with him up at his place and have him share his perspective for the video.

YES!
Just got to it 8/19/21 but great vybe. Listening to the man from bess fm days
Inspiring stuff thumbs up!
Glad to share some inspiration, respect.
Thank you for sharing. These guys need more representation so that we can spread the message more and more.
they cross over here all the while yet not everybody notices the switch as the music becomes far more deeper & seriously weighty concrete and solidly enrich where the mentors teach the students differently without speaking as the music inspires them teaching them to rise their expectations and go after what them require
More Love to the children
This is good to see. I went to negril years ago and all I heard was dancehall. Strictly Roots!
The roots are there, you just have to dig a bit.
Truth! Love his attitude and vibe.
I've experienced that space in sound clash in Jamaica.
It's a very unique energy to catch.
Agreed about the energy, it's a powerful thing.

007Marauder007 Thanks for the translation. Not everyone speaks patois!
***** yeah no prob
I know him🌋
brazil is strong
I'm a British born Black Jamaican who grew up on this kind of music. Sadly I must disagree with this guy;s assertion that Root Reggae music is still going strong. Its dying. There is very little new stuff coming through. If I go to a dance, playing Roots its full of white students, who love the music, which is good, but they aren't and can't be the people who drive it forward. This is not only England, but also in the Netherlands where I live. Its really sad to see such a great music whither away. It kind of reminds me of Rock Steady Reggae. Fantastic tunes, but the genre just faded away. Now I feel condemned to listen 'bashment' or whatever the fuck they call it.
I fully understand what you're saying. But what he was suggesting is not that the Roots have made a full return, but there is rather a significant resurgence going on in Jamaica, which is the Root of the Roots so to speak. Secondly this video was shot quite a few months before the date it was posted, so you never really got to see the progress of Kingston Dub Club, I assure you, it may not be happening at breakneck speed. But the revival is indeed happening
Jah 9, Raging Fyah, Dre Island, Chronixx, Addis Pablo, Jesse Royal, Conkarah, Protoje, Oriel, Turbulance and MORE - so much young talent in that little island reggae homeland RIGHT NOW
+MrRacistSlayer Hey, 1 year later i hope you have had a chance now to listen to the people +taniadwyer suggested because the rise is happening through them. Stay blessed. Stay positive.
I'm feeling irie after watching this interview.......
Glad to hear it :)
