Radiation Roots present a reissue of Sly & Robbie's Dubs For Tubs: A Tribute To King Tubby, originally released in 1990. Lowell Dunbar and Robert Shakespeare are the renowned Jamaican rhythm section that has worked with a range of international stars, including Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Joan Armatrading, Garland Jeffries, and countless others. They first came to know each other in the early 1970s, when both were based in rival bands playing in clubs on Kingston's Red Hills Road and started working together at Channel One studio in the mid-1970s, when Sly was musical arranger for the Revolutionaries house band and Robbie the main bassist for Bunny Lee's Aggrovators. After a stint of international touring in Peter Tosh's Word, Sound and Power band, which exposed them to the tastes and markets of overseas audiences, the pair joined forces more concertedly with their Taxi label, producing hits with Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Sugar Minott, and the Wailing Souls. At the same time, as the driving force behind the Compass Point All Stars, they brought Grace Jones to prominence worldwide and made Gwen Guthrie a star through reggaefied disco, and then brought Black Uhuru into the top spot in the wake of Bob Marley's passing. Then, when Jamaican music went digital with the "Sleng Teng" craze of the mid-1980s, Sly and Robbie made the shift in that direction too, becoming among the most prominent producers as the '80s gave way to the '90s. Dubs For Tubs: A Tribute To King Tubby is a digital dub salute to King Tubby, issued shortly after his terrible murder; it is mostly comprised of synthesizer re-cuts of classic Jamaican rhythms, with "Dub For Joy" being a tough re-working of the Heptones' "Love Me Girl" and "Dub To Make You Move And Groove" a take on their "Party Time"; Dennis Brown's "Here I Come" is here mutated to "Dub For Roots People" and his "Here I Come" anthem shifted into the spongy "Dub For All Seasons." An intriguing re-work of "Sleng Teng" is among the other highlights.

Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare are simply known all around the world as Sly and Robbie. They were the musical drum and bass backbone of Reggae since the early 1970's. They have played on more records than any other set of musicians and to such a high standard that few could reach. The third part of the jigsaw is the mighty Bunny 'Striker' Lee who brought these legends together. These rare dubs are taken from the original master tapes. You may have heard the tunes before, but never these versions. So sit back and enjoy reggae musical history in the making. Respect Jah Floyd.

"The story begins in Paris during the '80s, when the young Guillaume hones his skills at several instruments with various formations. During a trip to Jamaica where he gets his nickname 'Stepper,' he meets some of the artists he will tour and record with. Sly & Robbie opened their vaults for Stepper, who picked and chose classic riddims and brand new Jamaican sessions for this debut album. Prestigious musicians joined Stepper on this album mixed by Fabwise, the rising star of dubmasters."

Groove Attack presents Blackwood Dub, Sly & Robbie's first flawless dub album in years. This release was realized with long-time companions including Mikey "Mao" Chung (guitar) and Uziah "Sticky" Thompson (percussion) and others. The album was recorded in 2011 at the legendary Harry J Studio (which also recorded the first Bob Marley & The Wailers albums for Island Records) in coordination with the producer talent of Alberto "Burur" Blackwood and Gilroy "Rolex" Stewart. Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare are by far the worldwide most known and most successful Jamaican musicians, responsible for countless essential recordings for local artists and producers that have made real reggae history. The duo remain engaged as drummer and bass session players for celebrities of the international rock/pop circuit, never failing to support new young talent coming from the ghettos of Kingston or the Jamaican countryside. CD is housed in a 6-fold digipak, including a sticker. Featuring: Sly Dunbar (drums/percussion/Syn drums), Robert Shakespeare (bass/guitar), Mikey "Mao" Chung (guitar), Dalton Brownie (guitar), Dougie Bryan (guitar), Daryl Thompson (guitar), Robbie Lyn (keyboards), Hansel Collins (keyboards), Sticky Thompson (percussion) and Skully (percussion).
