WWW,
July 2014 - Visitors and readers of Studio
Dubroom will have had the opportunity to get
to know RAS KITCHEN, whose voice is used for
this two-track Dubwise release. Now is the
time for all readers and visitors of the
Dubroom to get acquainted with this
remarkable Jamaican brethren as we humbly
present almost eight minutes of Ras Kitchen
In Dub!
Ras Kitchen
lives a humble life with his family in the
hills of Jamaica. At times, he welcomes
visitors in his yard and introduces them
to this life, giving them a wealth of
knowledge and insight that they would never
have gotten if they would just have visited
the tourist places. Another thing the Ras is
known to do is to introduce Ital Cooking and
Jamaican Cooking to the world wide audience
and nation-wide on Jamaican television. His
video's are priceless, even when you are not
into cooking!
In order to
raise
a little bit of money, for just a a
little bit more decent living if you will,
Ras Kitchen released two
free vocal sample packs from
his website. They are reviewed
for Studio Dubroom, a sub-site of the
Dubroom where producer of (DUB) Reggae can
find information and download things. It's
not really something for people who are not
actively involved in producing Reggae Music,
but when Ras Kitchen comes with two Dubwise
tracks produced in the Dubroom Studio
especially for the Ras things obviously
change.
The first
"side" of this "virtual 7
inch" is the more relaxed one. As Ras
Kitchen speaks about Rastafari and how the
music will "just gwaan, right on and
on" while the -excellent- backing
vocals speak about "no regrets",
the drum and bass leads us all the way from
the top to the very last drop while some
heavyweight Dub mixing goes on, at times
completely scattering the chords into a
thousand pieces.
"Stay
When It Dub" has a much more intense
vibe, both in the hints to JAH, the Source
of Living Water, as well as the music and
mixing. The effects are layered on top of each other,
while the heavyweight bass and drum keep on
playing. Every now and then they make room,
sometimes for a flute and at other times
something different happens.
The music
is created and mixed with JAH love and
respect for RAS KITCHEN. When you at least
like the music a little bit and you have a
little bit of money to donate, please visit
his website and use PayPal to donate. And
tell them the Dubroom sent ya. Or don't.
With
Backing Vocals of Dan
Man and Aiva.
