Studio 16

Studio 16 is a UK Reggae Label and Distributor based in Brixton. It is run by Winston Edwards, who has an impressive background in the music industry, having worked with Fay Music, Joe Gibbs Records, and D.I.P Records. The label specializes in releasing both original LPs and repressing various classic LPs to this day.

With its strong connections to the reggae scene and experienced leadership, Studio 16 has become a trusted name in the industry. The label's dedication to preserving and promoting reggae music is evident through their commitment to reissuing timeless classics for new generations of fans to enjoy.

Whether you're a seasoned reggae enthusiast or just discovering the genre, Studio 16 offers a diverse selection of music that captures the essence of Jamaican culture. From *Winston Edwards* himself to other talented artists on the label, each release showcases the unique sound and soulful rhythms that define reggae.

The third (and most impressive) of four volumes of dub mixes from the studio of producer Joe Gibbs, African Dub, Chapter 3 finds engineer Errol Thompson getting a bit more adventurous than he had on the earlier installments.

More of these dub versions keep shreds and snatches of the original vocal tracks in the mix, which is almost always a plus in a dub context -- little snippets of disembodied vocals float through the otherworldly musical atmosphere, lending a sometimes spooky human element to the sound and often casting new and refracted light on the meaning of the original lyrics. And on this volume, Thompson seems to be taking a few cues from his competitor Lee "Scratch" Perry, throwing such extramusical elements as water sounds (on "Freedom Call") and ringing telephones (on "Jubilation Dub") into the mix along with the usual gossamer shreds of guitar, horn, and keyboard. Highly recommended.
