Customer Reviews

Dread Outta Control - Tune In to DBC
Excellent compilation from the DJ's behind DBC. DBC was the cult
station broadcasting a mix of reggae, soul, soca, hip hop, dub from West London. This compilation includes some of the DBC jingles interspersed. Lepke (Leroy Anderson) and sister Miss P , Dr Watts, Mike Williams (Mike da Bike), Chuckie and others were a fantastic team. This comp., is the tip of the iceberg - but its a good start. The first disc is more lively dancehall style, the second disk is more laid back rocksteady/ska inspired. A good starter album for a reggae beginner, afficionados will probably have a lot of these tracks already.

For those of you, who like me listended (and still listen to my DBC tapes) - the sleeve notes give an excellent history and background of this legendary station - worth buying for the notes alone. DBC was run by people who cared more about the music than profit, this came across in the relaxed style of the station..there were very few comemrcials..the ones they did have were just read out or sung by the dj's...come back DBC!!!
