Documentaries about Jamaican music are popping up all over the place.  Here’s one that I can’t wait to check out.  Dub Echoes promises to form a direct connection from contemporary electronic music all the way back to 70′s Dub Reggae.  It’s surely not the first time these connections have been pointed out, but it looks like a pretty solid film none-the-less.

It features DJ Spooky, Theivery Corporation, Bunny Lee, Dub Pistols, King Jammy, Lee Perry, Ticklah, Mad Professor and many more.  But don’t take my word for it… check the trailer:

I’ve been playing the hell out of the latest release from Mr. T-Bone and The Young Lions on my radio show, Ska’s The Limit.  I especially enjoy, The President of The Republic of Bananas- so I’m pretty happy with the band’s decision to make it their new single.

From their new record, Heroes, here’s the brand new video:
