2009 - Joe Gibbs - 12 Inch Reggae Discomix Showcase Vol 3
2009 - Joe Gibbs - 12 Inch Reggae Discomix Showcase Vol 3 @320
Volume Three covers the same period as Volume two, but with more signs of where reggae would now be heading with the inclusion of ‘Virgin Girl’ by Eek A Mouse (and its lesser-heard 12” counterpart in the form of ‘Lovers Take Over’ by Lui Lepkie), signposting the digital future. There are some familiar rhythms here, for instance the loping Pass-the-Kutchie style bass on Barry Brown’s ‘Tourist Season’ but there is plenty that will be less familiar. This third volume closes with the venerable Freddie McGregor (alongside 12” collaborator Shorty the President) but the standout track is ‘Windy Day’ from Ruddy Thomas, its sharp ska-influenced brass and bass leading straight into Trinity’s dubbed-up version on the same rhythm. This has all the hallmarks of the Joe Gibbs sound: clarity, simplicity, a driving bass pattern, a lack of studio gimmickry and a sense of commitment to the music. (United Reggae)

The Bug Club - Launching Moondream One (EP)(2021) 320
Caldicot based three-piece The Bug Club have been working away since 2016 honing their stripped-back garage-pop. The EP, released as a tongue-in-cheek response to pandemic-era isolation and lockdown fatigue, earned early championing from BBC 6 Music's Marc Riley, establishing the band's reputation for high-energy musicianship, clever humor, and compact, punchy songwriting. Comparisons are drawn to sharp, melodic DIY guitar bands and the nimble, narrative-driven quirkiness of groups like The Kinks and Jonathan Richman.

2009 - Joe Gibbs - 12 Inch Reggae Discomix Showcase Vol 1
2009 - Joe Gibbs - 12 Inch Reggae Discomix Showcase Vol 1 @ 320
The enormous influence of Joe Gibbs (Joel Gibson) on the development of reggae is widely recognised. Together with Errol Thompson at the mixing desk, the ‘Mighty Two’ had a key role in the emergence of dub, the sound of legendary names including Dennis Brown, Marcia Aitken and Culture, and the commercial success of reggae for a mass audience beyond Jamaica that still managed to stay true to its roots. After opening his studio in Duhaney Park in the 1960s, Gibbs moved to a new multi-track studio in Retirement Crescent in the mid-70s where the Mighty Two were to define the sound of the key late-70s period in reggae, just before the music would change direction during the digital age. Released in three separate volumes, this definitive collection draws from that period - and that studio - and amply demonstrates the reasons for Gibbs’ outstanding reputation. The backing rhythms are excellent throughout, as you’d expect from a roll-call of musicians including Tommy McCook, Tony Chin and Sly and Robbie. Productions from Gibbs and Thompson always had a distinctive sound, softer and subtler in its execution than some of his contemporaries. There is a typical simplicity to the mixes and dubs here. The bass is prominent but the percussion is invariably light. Each track on this new release is featured in its extended 12” mix version, so we have some insight into how Gibbs and Thompson let the rhythms develop.
Joe Gibbs 12" Volume One sets the pattern, opening with ‘Feeling Soul’ from Ruddy Thomas; the sound is essential Joe Gibbs: gentle roots music, keyboard and bass holding it together, going straight into the version from Trinity over a bass line mixed up-front. Next up is Marcia Aitken with ‘My Man’, together with its 12” version, again by Trinity, with a characteristic take on ‘Blouse and Skirt’. Also on Volume One can be found the Mighty Diamonds, Junior Murvin, and the coupling of Dennis Brown and Prince Mohammed (a combination best known in the UK for Gibbs’ production of the classic re-recorded hit ‘Money in my Pocket’), here offering ‘How Can I Leave You’. These are not the usual well-worn reggae tunes re-released yet again. Some of these songs will be unfamiliar even to those close to reggae. A case in point is the excellent ‘A Win Them’ by Leo Graham, coupled with I-Roy’s treatment of the rhythm in the form of ‘News Carrier’ over the top of snatches of Leo Graham’s vocal. The distinctive chords of ‘Riding for a Fall’ will be more familiar, though in this incarnation it is not by John Holt, but is a lesser known version from George Nooks, with accompanying 12” dee-jaying from Welton Irie.
