Dub's new prince-god-king Jammy's latest album is a steppers' answer to pestilence. 'King Jammy Destroys The Virus With Dub' is a COVID-purging tour of sheer bass, showing off the antiviral properties we didn't know the Pangaeic Jamaican genre had. Of course, it wouldn't be a proper 21st Century dub record without Jammys paying tribute to his roots; here he revisits the work of several golden age greats, including Hugh Mendell, Junior Delgado and Sugar Minott, for a slew of humourously headsy dub wedges like 'Quarantined In Dub', 'A New Normal In Dub', and, yes, 'Dub Tribute To All Hospital Workers'.

4 cuts built around the same warm, bubbly, ear-catching and - naturally - sub-heavy digital riddim !!!! Love itYou'll find some excellent "versioning" on this offering from Italian imprint Roots Cooperation. It features a quartet of cuts built around the same warm, bubbly, ear-catching and - naturally - sub-heavy digital riddim crafted by producer Rob Gravy. Honey-voiced mic man Anthony Johnson stars on EP opener 'Beholden', offering a slick and soulful delivery of a conscious and thoughtful set of lyrics, before Italian mixer Paco Ten offers up a deliciously weighty and extended dub mix ('Beholdub'). Over on the flip toaster U Brown delivers a deejay style interpretation, rapping in patois atop Rob Gravy's groove, while Billyman reaches for the reverb, echo and tape delay on a ludicrously weighty partner dub.
