There are many fine things in the great state of Vermont; maple syrup, Shawn White, Jay Peak, the Burton factory, Phish, and cows, to name a few. There are also lots and lots of reggae fans. Big reggae fans-- ones that would establish an annual international reggae festival. It's practically the official state music. During a recent trip up for some snowboarding, I was reminded of just how much reggae you can hear coming out of cars, bars, gondolas, and ski shops, and houses. Here's a collection of some good ol' reggae---just like what comes out of the green mountain state, heavy on the early dub, with a few Trojan classics, and a few modern dubs.

• Lee Perry - Bathroom Skank
• Boy Friday - Virgin Girl
• Augustus Pablo - Kid Ralph
• Twilight Circus Dub Sound System - Achou
• King Tubby and Friends - Chapter of Money
• Tapper Zukie - Man A Warrior
• Susan Cadogan - Fever
• Once11 - Bottled Paycheck
• U Roy - Your Ace from Outer Space
• Mafia Allstars and King Tubby - Don't Think about Me (I'm alright)
• Scientist - One Man Dub
• Ladyman - Sexy Beast
• Lee Perry - One Armed Boxer

In Vermont you can do what you want!

Dang In Dub 2: The Curse of the Black Ark

This Upsetters dub mix was created a few years ago my Mr. Trick, for Rhythm Incursions ...still love it today. I've been playing it while working lately so I figured I would pass it on..Dang in Dub 2!


From the original post:
This is my personal selection of the finest Upsetter dubs from Lee Perry’s legendary time in his Black Ark studio. As a mix, this one is straight-up: 100% live off my 45s (replete with skips, crackles and more!), armed only with a reverb unit and a space echo to aid blends in true dancehall style. These tracks speak for themselves: heavy heavy dubs that can be enjoyed on your walkman, on the stereo or preferably loud as hell in your backyard via some homespun yard system comprising guitar amps, 12″ bass cones and god knows what else.
