Winner

Winner first turned on to reggae thanks to Burning Spear's "Man in the Hills" in 1976. He first bumped into dub in 1978 with an album with nothing on the label he found in a thrift store. At first he didn't know what to make of it; but as time passed he realized the dense subtleties of the form. This past year he has produced four CDs on his own, using latest technology... they are dubbed to the max and reflect the influence of Perry, Pablo, and Dennis Blackbeard Bovell... The midi-dubs he makes available in cyberspace are (by contrast) sparse, obsessively minimal, and explore the art of midi as though it had only just been invented. He has a site on maxpages, and a messageboard of reviews; feel free to browse and contribute.

Ras Yann

They say, who does not respect the small shall never earn the big. Ras Yann makes use of a cheap soundcard to create his tracks. It does not even have a MIDI-Input, so he has to program all notes one by one, which I remember is not very inspiring. The fact that this brethren creats such nice midi dubs is prove for his talents. Download his music, and encourage the brethren by sending him nice email.

These tracks are not really finished. They need a finishing touch. At least, that is what the author told me. The style is pretty tight, pretty dutch. M.E. Dread comes from the Netherlands. Listen to his music, it's profesional sounding dutch reggae for bands.
