With a good ear, the right software and the right vibes, I've been able to edit together the vocal versions and the dub or DJ versions of many of my favourite songs. Here's a small sample of what I've got in the vaults. Music for extra days – strictly discomix we a deal with! no One of my favourite things as a DJ is to create my own discomixes.

All over the world, people are using the blueprint of classic reggae and dub and coming up with something fresh.

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:30:00 MST http://www.upsetter.net/podcast/audio/09roman.mp3 Roman Stewart had a career that lasted for more than 30 years, and yet there has never been a compilation of the man's work, an oversight that I hope will be corrected some day. His smooth voice was equally suited to both love songs and more conscious themes, and over the years he has become one of my favourite singers. This is a small selection of Roman's 7" and 12" singles, including his very last, "Cheater" from 2004.

Soul was a huge influence on Jamaican music throughout the 1960s and 70s and there are dozens of cool reggae versions of soul tunes out there. Special mention to Junior Murvin's dread reworking of the sublime "People Get Ready" as "Rasta Get Ready" and Bunny Clarke's spaced out, echo chamber version of William De Vaughan's "Be Thankful".
