The Upsetters
Mad Professor also has a number of good dub releases.
Burnt Friedman as well
Alpha & Omega
Dub Syndicate
African Head Charge
Bim Sherman
Robotiks do some wicked dub (they are on Ariwa records)
Sly & Robbie - Drum & Bass Stripped to the Bone (not dnb but proper dub
drums and bass) - some explosive stuff on here
Twilight Circus Dub Sound System (not really dub in the true sense but
rather electronic instrumental reggae)
Augustus Pablo
Kodama and the Dub Station Band (stellar Japanese dub)
Dry and Heavy (another great Japanese band)
Matisyahu (Hasidic Jewish reggae!)
Pitch Black (New Zealand electronic dub group had some music in Whale Rider
but it's not on the soundtrack - sort of a cross between Leftfield and
FSOL)
The Black Seeds (another NZ band - if you like Fat Freddie's Drop then you
might like this) http://www.theblackseeds.co.nz/
Fat Freddie's Drop (it should not go unmentioned)
Admiral Tibet is a very cool modern roots artist who isn't afraid of using
techy sounds
another dub poet would be Mutabaruka
U Roy has got to be my favorite deejay (vocalist)
other vocalists:
Horace Andy
I-Roy
John Holt
Bunny Wailer
Wailing Souls
going back to the earlier stuff (ska) you just need to have some Skatalites
in your collection
for instrumental reggae/ska
some good labels:
Wackie's
Echo Beach & Select Cuts
Honest Jon's
Ariwa
if you REALLY want to get to the heart of reggae then definitely check out
Ras Michael and the whole Nyahbinghi movement
it's totally stripped down the core of the music - the rhythm - very
spiritual music and apparently started with the free and escaped slaves in
Jamaica
I'll dig up a few more names when I get the time
