about

Dub Side of the Moon was a formative album for many of us, and if it isn't clear yet - was clearly an influence on me! Easy Star All Stars are pioneers in making dub covers/versions like this, and when I first heard their album of Radiohead covers (Radiodread) I very nearly lost my mind. I loved it SO much and I still do. Ever since then I've wanted to give Radiohead the Black Market Dub treatment, and FINALLY here we are!

This is a really special group of songs to me, and I can't thank everyone enough who was involved. The first track "Nude" in particular is a musical puzzle I will always be proud to have figured out. That song is in 6/8 time (feels like 3) as opposed to the much more common 4/4 time (feels like 4). Very nearly all reggae is in 4/4 due to the inherent limitations within the style. I wanted to do this song SO badly but the fact that it was in an odd time signature had me worried! Luckily with the help of Wise Owl, Maaga Duppy and all our fans who watch our live stream every week we were all able to figure it out together! It's awesome and I'm very proud of it.

A huge thanks to John Roy of Smoke and Mirrors Sound System for laying down some amazing horns on a few songs.

Maybe the biggest thanks for last is for RADIOHEAD! One of my all time favorite bands! I hope we've done their music justice! Enjoy and LISTEN LOUD!

These songs are FREE to download, but I accept donations here or on PATREON!

about

Black Market Dub Los Angeles, California

What would happen if The Beach Boys had The Wailers as their backing band instead of The Wrecking Crew? What if David Bowie spent the summer of 1975 in Kingston, Jamaica with King Tubby instead of Philidelphia? Michael Jackson meets Scratch Perry? These questions are the basic thesis of Black Market. Listen loud, dance, enjoy, and share. I make these albums for free but accept donations. ... more

Roger Rivas is hands down one of the best organists I've ever heard, and his band The Aggrolites are an absolute MUST see live. Rodger's solo albums are groovy, and perfect to put on anytime. Black Market Dub

The sheer beauty and joy of this music and the reverence towards its source literally makes me well up. I think DB would have loved it. As luck would have it, the day I bought this, I discovered that they are playing the Electric Ballroom the following month - I cannot wait! rich ellis
