hi,I got into digital dub before I ever heard of Tubby, Jammy etc. First label I got into was Dubhead. Excellent compilations of bands like Iration Steppas, Bush Chemists, Etherealites, Nucleus Roots.Then Conscious Sounds label.the mighty Jah Shaka,Dub Judah.This is not the right forum for discussing digi-roots but there is good stuff out there. Enjoy!

Yea i gathered that, had a search of forum posts before posting.

Have most of Jah Shaka studio output- find it can be variable though some of it I enjoy. Awesome at the dance tho.

Will try iration Steppas, Bush Chemists et al. Any albums in particular.

Any other sites/forums that might put me in right direction?
