Dub Store Records
In the 1950s, Jamaica began to record and release its own Mento music, and the island 's music industry took its first tentative steps. Soon, sound systems appeared and American RnB shook the island. By 1963, sound system operators were recording up-tempo Ska, symbolizing the optimism of a newly independent Jamaica. In 1967, Jamaican music moved toward Rocksteady, which became the foundation for reggae rhythms for decades to come. In the early 1970s dub versions and the deejay gained prominence, and the new consciousness of Jamaicans as Black people became a focal point of the emerging style of Roots Reggae. During the 1980s, the focus shifted again to having fun in the dancehall, and music primarily to be heard in the sound systems became increasingly popular. Known as "Dancehall" music, it went through a digital revolution and the effect of this phenomenon is still being felt today. The blood of reggae continues to run through the various genres of Jamaican music and there are remarkable recordings from each of these different periods. Dub Store Records aims to accurately cover the 50-plus years of Jamaican music, and pass on many magnificent recordings, which are non-commercial and highly artistic. Carefully handing down the tradition of reggae music, the label has so far issued rare and unreleased recordings from labels and artists such as Studio One, Federal Records (Federal, Kentone, Merritone), Jammys, Bunny Wailer's Solomonic, Derrick Harriott, Kiddus I, Redman International, King Tubby’s Firehouse, Fam's, BMN and much more to come.
