After you drop the needle on this album, you might be inclined to say "Hey D.ave, that's some rad dub. Serious underground UK shit, right mate?". And I'll say "No bruddah/sistah, that dub be commin' straight from T-Dot, Canada, mate". And it's true. Not only is Dubmatix's "Renegade Rocker" a rare reggae gem, it's also some sticky Canadian homegrown.
Serving Suggestions:
- On your front porch, burnin' from yo' ghettoblaster
- As a soundtrack for a hot days, cold lagers and good friends
Thick-ass bass, horns drenched in ephemeral delay, dubbin drums and sweaty, sexy organs (yeah): For all the above, Renegade Rocker is your one-stop shop.
Bruddahs and Sistahs: Until next time, hang loose, stay lit and for fuck sakes, don't let the ol' bastards keep you down.

This is a good album, I've heard a lot of people who say that this is a good album, that's why I want to buy it because it should be amazing.
Yesss! Clutch album. Repping the T-Dot hard. Apparently this guy was influenced by Canadian Reggae legend Everton "Pablo" Paul who played with Dubmatix's (Jesse King) dad Bill. Bill, who is now the director of the Beaches Jazz Fest, played with another Reggae legend - Wayne McGhie. Here's a link to a sweet vid of the three of them jamming out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID9MV7F0aY0
Nice to see where it's all coming from. Keep up the great work!
