I was wondering if anyone could point me towards artists/releases that explicitly sample or reference Roots Reggae music? I'm not talking about tunes that feature a bit of Patois chattin sampled but tracks that go full on that would fit in a set.

And yes, I realise the absurdity of asking for reggae influenced Dubstep but you know what I mean.

tryptomatik - polizia dreadlock... features vocals from alborosie's polizia but a lot more mellow than stagga's aggy version!!!!
fall in love - sarantis & honey brown
Liquid wicked von d VIP - dubwar
capleton ft method man - wings of the morning (dz remix) - HUUUUUUUUUUUGE TUNE
trolley snatcha - get back


hope that sets you on your way

check the bassweight ragga mix in my myspaz blog

The Bug - Judgement
The Bug ft Ricky Rankin - Murder Me
Pinch ft Juakali - Brighter Day
Pinch ft Rudey Lee - Step 2 it
Henry & Louis - Rise up (RSD Remix)
Clouds - Elders
Vibronics - Natty riddim (not really dubstep, its dub but more electronic, would be sick in a dubstep mix)
L.V - Globetrotting
L.V - CCTv
Tes La Rok - Round the way girls
Coki - Burnin
Cant think of anymore too tired.
DZ ft Awaken - Lion dub

Cheers guys, will definitely check those out!

apart from the bug, pinch, & lv...
juakali's eps (break ground & come from yard) & i dunno if king midas sound's album fits the bill

there's other stuff i can't think of right now

terrafonix, blakstarline, sun of selah

droid - father

LV, Pinch, RSD, Skream, Synkro, The Bug, Clouds

check out releases on lodubs, they tend to be reggae influenced. as someone said RSD is sick. mungos hifi, dreadfox, lee perry's making dubstep too. chimpos got an ep thats very reggae influenced out on on contagious. lickle stereo is my favorite off it.
theres loads of good dub out there around the 130-150 bpm range too. which is nice.

Radikal Guru

just checked out the dz remix suggested on this thread. its not really that reggae influenced.its got the capleton sample, but thats as far as it goes. i would not say its reggae dubstep at all.

True, but the part where everything drops out and it's just Capleton chanting the hook works lovely in the context. Either way, sick tune.

Thanks again guys, I'm still just starting transitioning to DJing Dubstep but I definitely want to gear my sets in this direction. I absolutely can't live without classic reggae like Max Romeo, Dennis Brown, The Heptones, The Mighty Diamonds, The Gladiators, Black Uhuru, Johnny Clark, Freddie McGregor (personally, Bobby Bobylon is in my Top 10 records of all time, any genre), etc and it's great to see music that combines the positive vibes of roots and raw energy of soundclash vocals with a heavier vibe for the dancefloor.

My fav Reggae influenced Dubstep 12"s are both of the aXXo releases on Killtone. They kick MAJOR ass and you NEED to pick them up!!!!! You can buy them direct from their myspace below...

Here's the press on them both....

"SILVAH BULLET"

Sick sublow dubwonk business on a brand new label from a mysterious camp we have much love for, with four brilliantly executed versions on the deeper bass vibe. 'Silvah Bullet' may initially cause a bit of 33 or 45 (???) confusion but once you've settled into the sturdy halfstep swing you'll be swallowed up whole by the claustrophobic bass undercurrents. From here on in it's a mission deep into the echo chamber, with 'Let it slide' and 'Mi eyez' working on a King Tubby-meets-Disrupt in Chapeltown kinda vibe, proper dark wobbling dubs with fine cut double-time percussion alleviating them from the pits of wobble hell. This is a unique take on a sound that it seems everyone is taking a crack at, and succeeds far better than most. Seriously heavy.



"NO IDLERS"

All low-end fiends need to cast their hazy minds back to last year and the release of a special vampire slaying release from Yorkshire bassgeist a.X.X.o on 'Silver Bullet'. Seemingly dropping out of nowhere with a heavy blend of LFO tweaking subbass licks and stone cold dub techniques this was an unexpected release involving a character not normally associated with this particular scene, but nonetheless someone who has enjoyed huge success as part of another outfit - one that would startle you if you knew. Anyway, him and his crew are back again to drown your summer in sweltering subs with the second release on Killtone and it's an absolute killer. Lead track 'Hell Plate' bears the resonance of bass soaked-up from dances attended at Leeds' West Indian centre with a blend of strictly dubstep styles, mixed with authentically rootsy FX. Our favourite cut 'Pritti Myce' ramps up the tempo to an urgently darkside and double timed swing with tuff subs and DMZ influenced percussion, while 'Thugg Step Empress' could be a Various Production offcut and 'No Idlers' does a mean half stepped dub techno thing reminiscent of Andy Stott's dub productions. Murky, dubby and lethal, just how we like it.
