Jamaican Crate Digging

Alright heres the deal... I found out about this spot... Someone told me it has a lot of Jamaican sh*t there...

Now I don't really know too much about Jamaican music... I'd love to grab some deep, fat Jamaican basslines or subs off of some records... Or some nice Synth loops from a Jamaican record... But like I said I don't really know much about the artists or reecord labels...

Anytips from anyone???

Either artists or record labels or producers... Anything at all I should look for... Help steer me in the right Direction...

This is why we should have a Crate Digging forum...

Anything on trojans record label

also look for juinor reed
delroy wilson
anything that sly and robbie play on
lee scratch perry
Mad scientist
Alpha Blondie
black ahuru
martin cambell

Good lookin...

Freedom always come through...

Also dont forget
Then mean melodica riffs
of Augusts pablo...

this is what madlib likes to sample...

As for jamacian breaks look for when it was made...

Anything 80s and above is made with a drum machine usually unless its live or using a e-drum trap kit...


NEw rootz music I would check out..

Midnite,
Oklah the moc
Desere- Her voice is the best i mean rooted...


Also anything deep that has juinor marvin on the players list he is a bassist

yeah i just copped one of his joints and heard a blatant madlib sample (like madlib just used this sample as an intro to a song), plus a busta rhymes sample from extinction level event i believe. Sh*ts hot.



we do need a digging section

looove that melodica sht..... picked one up for myself but its sounds like a fkn accordian more than anything else!!!!
hehehe
Pez.

I LOOOVE PABLO'S BASSLINES!!!! (and everything else from him)

pablo is the man no question!
greg

R.I.P. , Pablo!

I picked up two Augustus Pablo reprints the other day just to hear his sh*t... He's incredible... I got this one what I'm flip... It's like this real trip-hop rhythm with a deep bass groove... I can't believe how influential his style was... It's crazy...

R.I.P. is right...

lotsa people dont pay attention to reggae n dub when diggin but they got that deep bass and melodic drums

could quite possibly be the reincarnate of the melodica in an earlier life- but seriousness aside, pablo is the shizzy
