Here is the blurb for the issue: So, The Dub magazine has been away for a while, recharging and responding to the demands of everyday life. But we were never going to stay away for too long. I owe enormous thanks to the man like Leo B, who has interviewed everyone he has met over the last year or two and sent all the results to The Dub. I would also like to thank Hayley Squires and Elisabeth Van Meel for including us in their plans for publicising the new works from Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah and the African Head Charge family and for DJ Smart Monkey for interviewing Bonjo I and Style Scott for the magazine. I would like to thank Original Dubman, Tina Brown, IR::Indigenous Resistance family, I-Roots and Dub Vendor and many others for the continued support and encouragement they have given me. Massive respect to the other writers and contributors, especially original editor Natty Mark Samuels, John ‘Cornerstonemuzik’ Green, Steve ‘Jah Warrior’ Mosco, Dan ‘Bossaphonik’ Ofer, I-Lodica and new contributor Anja ‘Siren Sisters’ Winnes. Lastly, thanks to all the artists who are featured in this issue.
In this issue, we have exclusive interviews with Teddy Dan, Alpha Steppa, Dreadzone, Jah Wobble, Mad Professor, The Bug, Amp Freqq, OBF, Mungo’s HiFi and Deemas J as well as awesome photos from last year’s Boomtown Fair, all conducted by our very own Leo B who has just relocated to Leeds with his family. Salute Bredda Leo! We also have some sample pages from the forthcoming incredible comic book version of the life of Don Drummond – Trombone Man by Adam Reeves and Constantinos Pissourios; a feature on Sister Habesha (originally published in German in Riddim Mag); a review of the forthcoming nyahbinghi album by Bonjo I, Gaudi and Drums Of Defiance; our regular columns from John Green and I-Lodica; as well as a poem in tribute to the one and only Jah Shaka from founding editor and polymath Natty Mark Samuels.
As always, the magazine is free to read and download. Please share far and wide, One Love.
