Easy

I've been stumped all night over this, I'm making a tape for a friend but I'm stuck for a track at one part of the tape and I've run out of ides completely, It needs to go after Tubby meet's the rockers uptown (this is a bigger problem than it sounds) as nothing I know sound anything like that track, everything I put after it just kills the whole vibe, what can I do?

Version 78 style would be my first choice, or The Revolutionaries Kunta Kinte, but I've already used them both lol, now I'm stuck I can't think of anything similar, I've got the other 25 tracks sorted out now, I'm just stuck on this last one.

Can anyone help?

How about The Dub Station (Aggrovators and King Tubby)?

Bit of an esoteric choice maybe, but there's something to my ears that links these tracks!

Though i think that might be a good ending track, depending if you want to go for a mellow fade out, or go out with a killer bang

Prince Jammy - Jammy a shine (from Rodigan's Dub Classics LP)

Maybe not the same pace, but the "style" should fit I think.

All awesome!!

Yeah I might have to go with all of those actually lol, oh but it's not really that "Dubby" a tape, know what I mean? So far it's all mostly "Versions" and "Rockers" type tracks - Dub it easy, Ali Baba etc, artists like Dub Specialist, Soul Vendors, Errol Brown, The Upsetters, Sound Dimension, Brentford all stars etc. (Some dub) at the end though

Ah man, that is such a killer tune, I've not hear that before it just nearly knocked me on may arse lol, ok, now how would I go from that in to Dub it easy? lol. . . . . I'm going to have to rethink this tape aren't I?

why not add Jacob Millers original "Baby I Love You So" but maybe swicth the runing order so the song first then the dub.

maybe [Dennis Brown - Here I Come](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7laV_mKDJbQ) (niney the observer production, not the classic DB here I come)

What about Pablo's 'Cassava Piece'? That sounds a bit like KTMRU.

Well in that case i would highly recommend the Skin Flesh & Bones cover of Solitary Man and/or the version, they really are magnificent
