Crisis Creation

Crisis Creation

Over the course of this set, we travel from the Lower East Side of Manhattan to Africa via Jamaica, and on into India and Persia. We will listen in on Dubbers, Drummers, Mystics and Toasters.

  1. Maduba (Crisis Creation), DXT, from Reanimator: Black Market Science. DXT, the inventor of turntablism, laying down futuristic, apocalyptic, electronic dub
  2. Telegram Dub (African Postman), Burning Spear, from Living Dub, Vol. 2, the companion to his classic Hail H.I.M. . Chocolate and peanut butter, friends...
  3. Im Ninalou, DJ Cheb I Sabbah, from, La Kahena. A Sufi, a Jew and a Berber walked into a bar...
  4. Allegro, Sanjay Mishra, from, Blue Incantation. One of three tracks Jerry Garcia contributed to in what turned out to be some of his last sessions
  5. Exodus, Bob Marley, from, Dreams of Freedom: Ambient Translations of Bob Marley in Dub , one of our "desert island discs" of the 1990s
  6. Water No Get Enemy, Fela Kuti, from Expensive Shit. Jamming defiant funk from the Kalkuta Republic
  7. In These Times, Errol Walker, from Lee "Scratch" Perry's Arkology box set . Of the million ways to get into Scratch Perry, given that he has produced literally countless reggae and dub sides, this box set might be the best. Lots of notes and info to send you on your way
  8. Dance Mediterrane, Simon Shaheen & Qantara, from Blue Flame. Shaheen has made more "authentic" records but the playing on this one legitimizes the fusion style
  9. Jah Works, The Gladiators, from Dreadlocks, the Time Is Now . A deep, deep side
  10. Roll Jordan Roll, Wingless Angels from Wingless Angels . A Keith Richards side project in which he recorded some Nyabinghi sessions at his home in Jamaica, laid in the most perfect bass and guitar lines and produced a rootsy, acoustic, trance of an album
  11. Dem a Come, The Abyssinians, from Arise . Deep roots and equisite melodies
  12. Herbsman Shuffle, King Stitt & Andy Capp, from Tighten Up: Trojan Reggae Classics 1968-74, a bad-ass collection with lots of gems
  13. Mela Mela, Mahmoud Ahmed, from Ethiopiques, Vol. 6: Almaz, of the classic reissue series of vintage Ethiopian music
