2025/12/07

Going back to a period in time in the 90s that seemed short-lived once it hit the mainstream media - Electronica / Big Beat.

2025/12/05

A few years back, my dad and I had a radio show called “Groove Radio” on the local University Radio Station, playing funk, some hip-hop, gospel, soul, etc. That show was picked up at Jazz FM here a few years later. This was right at the start of COVID on a Tuesday night, and we grew the listener base from a couple of thousand to 30000+ in just over a year. COVID was one factor, but the other was the music and artists we were selecting. We’d each bring in our tracks and rinse them out, tune-fi-tune

The Beastie Boys - Brooklyn Beats To International...

2025/11/28

Beastie Boys’ Anthology: Sounds of Science, Michael Diamond (Mike D) says: “We had all been influenced by Lee Perry’s productions. We were into how on reggae recordings there would often be a ‘dub version’ on the b-side of a single, a practice that got co-opted by a few punk and early hip-hop singles as well.” Who knew? When their debut “License To Ill” was released in 1986, almost 40 years ago - it was fresh and had a great sense of humour, playfullness that on the surface could be disregarded as

2025/11/25

Certain artists bring a feeling of soulful upliftment and leave a mark on your musical heart - Jimmy Cliff is one; you sense a man smiling and embracing life. He’s navigated Jamaica’s musical evolution from the start, with 1962’s Hurricane Hattie, to the soundtrack that put him front and centre on a global stage in 1972. He’s continued to release beautiful music that speaks to our spiritual sides, and his legacy will live on for generations to come.R.I.P. Jimmy. (1944-2025) Jimmy Cliff was born

Classic Jazz Excursion: The Roots of Ska

Dubmatix Sticky Icky Reggae Mix ·

2025/11/23

The link between jazz and what we now call reggae goes back 70+ years to the time of Count Basie and Duke Ellington’s big bands in the 1940s and ’50s, which were very popular in Jamaica. These records arrived through sailors, migrants, and sound-system operators like Coxsone Dodd and Duke Reid, who travelled to the U.S. specifically to buy jazz and R&B 78s. The island absorbed these sounds and fused them with mento (Jamaica’s folk music), African rhythmic traditions, New Orleans R&B (Fats

Gussie Clarke: The Producer Behind Roots and Digital...

Dubmatix Sticky Icky Reggae Mix ·

2025/11/21

There are so many artists and songs that pass through our ears, but rarely do we know who’s behind the music. The sounds we gravitate to, that we identify with, and that is part of what I try to do here on Bass Culture - pull back the curtain and find out who helped shape an album or entire generation - Gussie Clarke is one of those “wizards of oz” - a man who helped shape hit after hit, that still spin on turntables and sound systems today. His career has spanned decades, but for this mix, I’ve

Dirty Funky Nasty Bad

Let’s start with the title of this mix, “Dirty Funky Nasty Bad” - a long-time friend of mine with a great sense of humour would keep all of us howling with laughing, doing bits and saying random shit dropped this line in one of those moments and it’s stuck with me for decades (thanks Kento).I love raw-sounding music; not overproduced or mixed, just pure edgy sonic bliss, which is what I based this playlist around- in yer face funk. dirty (raw) funky (poppin' groove that doesn’t let

The Boogaloo Sounds of NYC’s 60s & 70s Latin Clubs

Dubmatix Sticky Icky Reggae Mix ·

2025/11/16

Being a drummer and bass player, I gravitate towards the foundation of a song - the groove, percussion, and how instruments weave in and out of “the pocket”, be it the short offbeat guitar skanks heard in reggae or the syncopated piano stabs heard in Latin music. That’s what drew me to reggae - the lock-step agreement of groove between the bassist and drummer that allows the rest of the band, organ, vocals, guitars, etc, to either support the core riddim or thread around it, adding depth and melody

Reggae Meets Cumbia

Dubmatix Sticky Icky Reggae Mix ·

2025/11/14

I had a show in Dresden years ago, and the opener was a DJ who played cumbia. When her set began, the dance floor instantly filled with people laying down synchronized dance steps, which was eye-opening and fantastic fun to watch. It’s inevitable that these two genres would merge, as Cumbia originated on the Caribbean coast of Colombia and includes African, Spanish (colonial), and indigenous influences that date back to the 16th Century. For this playlist, I went down the rabbit hole seeking groove

Reggae Frequency: House Edition

Dubmatix Sticky Icky Reggae Mix ·

2025/11/12

I’ve always seen/heard the parallel between reggae and house music—namely, the Steppers vs. 4-On-The-Floor groove, and have been drawn to that fusion of the two. Back in 2002, I’d slapped a King Tubby sample over a house beat, and it was a revelation to me (I can fuse this) that song that became Journey To The Center Of The Dub. The King Tubby sample was removed, but the idea remained.On the other side of the pond, in the UK and across Europe, this style was already established and in the clubs. I

Groove de la Calle: Latin Funk Session

My soul has a deep passion for all things groove—reggae, jungle, hip-hop, funk, soul, or any style that gets the feet moving and the head nodding. So, for this mix, I decided it was time for a dive into Latin Funk with some greats—Joe Bataan, Tito Puente, and Ray Barretto, alongside lesser-known artists from the 70s onward.Bring on the thin-lofi-guitar solos, wah-wah flavours, rollocking percussion, blazing horns, and as much cowbell as you can handle.
