On Thursday, September 15th Addis Pablo, the son of the late, legendary instrumentalist/producer/label owner Augustus Pablo, will be performing as special guest at Deadly Dragon Sound's DownTown Top Ranking for their Tribute to King Tubby. This special Tribute to King Tubby edition of DTR is part of the first annual Dub Invasion Festival.
Augustus Pablo was one of Jamaica's most revered artists. A master of the melodica (amongst other instruments) Pablo is credited with creating the first all DUB LP (JAVA JAVA JAVA with producer Clive Chin). He was a deeply spiritual rastafari who believed in the power of music to combat an oppressive system. As such, he parlayed his musical successes into the creation of his own labels (Rockers and Message) and record store which became synonymous with serious Roots music. In 1977 he and King Tubby released the LP KING TUBBY MEETS ROCKERS UPTOWN for Bronx based label CLOCKTOWER RECORDS. It is an LP that has found its place as one of the most influential DUB LPs of all time.
Addis Pablo né Swaby grew up in both Kingston, Jamaica and the United States and learned at the foot of his father the importance of both the technical aspects of music and the spiritual resonance that roots music can contain. Over the past few years he has been working with Kingston based One Motion LLC and Triniyard Music developing multiple projects of his own as well as producing for other arists. In addition he has also taken on the mantle of re-developing the Rockers Record Shop in Kingston and working with his father's catalog. Every year, Addis (on Melodica) also joins Chinna Smith and his band for the Annual Celebration of the Life & Works of Augustus Pablo.
For Thursday's DOWNTOWN TOP RANKING - TRIBUTE TO KING TUBBY, Addis will be joining the selectors of Deadly Dragon Sound for an exploration into the vibes of his father's famous collaboration with TUBBYS: KING TUBBY MEETS ROCKERS UPTOWN. With Addis Pablo live on Melodica, the selectors of Deadly Dragon will be pulling some serious vinyl from the vaults as backing tracks, as well as mixing the whole performance in a Dub Wise style.
