Wild Dub (Dread meets Punk Rocker)

Wild Dub takes you back to the days in 1970s London when Punk and Reggae first merged, when Johnny Rotten hijacked the radio airwaves to spin the toughest Jamaican pre-releases, and DJ Don Letts showed pogoing punks in the Roxy Club how to skank to the hottest dub riddims. The spark that exploded between black and white culture in that glowing moment was one of the first multicultural youth movements and its attitudes and achievements, like the birth of the anti-fascist Rock Against Racism movement, have endured. Their experiments with life and music and the sheer energy of the city at the time, attracted foreign artists who came and stayed as long as possible, like Chrissie Hynde, Bob Marley, Patti Smith, Deborah Harry and Johnny Thunders. Includes tracks from PIL, The Ruts, The Clash, The Pop Group, etc.
