Today, October 18th, is Jamaican National Heroes Day and we've got lots of musical gifts by the late Michael Campbell (aka MIKEY DREAD) coming at you from across the network. (Read our tribute here , and download the final episode of Dread at the Controls here .) On the Dose we thought it would be wise to feature African Anthem, the most sampled dub record ever made. It has been Mikey Dread's masterpiece when it comes to dub albums, and was sampled by numerous American Hip-Hop artists. The album also represents the number one [...]

Better known by his on-air moniker Mikey Dread, Michael Campbell created the rules for broadcasting reggae from scratch, and his innovations-non-sequitur samples, exclusive remixes, and freaky sound effects-would become the template for the mix show, a new radio format became commonplace in the urban U.S. and U.K. by the mid-eighties.

"There are so many little dyings that it doesn't matter which of them is death," wrote esteemed poet/ author Kenneth Patchen. Yet the accrual of such dying over the course of a calendar year belies such "little"ness. As we nudge into the 21st century, the luminaries of the previous one begin to wane, the architects and innovators of prime American music forms: blues, jazz, folk, rock. The obituary page for 2008 may not feature so many marquee names, but the crucial people behind the stage—the gurus, the producers, the poster artists, the record executives, the session men—all continued to vanish [...]

Seminal reggae musician Mikey Dread may have passed away earlier this year, but his legacy will live on. Sure, he worked with the Clash, but he did a lot more than that: He was a pioneering DJ in Jamaica, a...
"Dread at the Controls - Evolutionary Rockers" was Insomnia Radio DJ and legendary performer/producer Mikey Dread 's first reggae album, and has never been available on CD or in digital format before. Previously released on the streets in 1978, it was retitled 'Dread at the Controls' in London and re-released in '79. This edition offered here is from the original Jamaican recording from the 'Dread at the Controls' Master-tape. Previous to this album, Mikey Dread's avid interest in reggae music led him to acquire an immense collection of crucial vinyl which he used to gain notoriety as [...]
Mikey Dread - Everybody Needs A Proper Education Apologies for a brief interruption to the piano anthems madness, but this one is a quick dedication to Mikey Dread, who died a few days ago. Mikey Dread was the DJ for the JBC's (the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation) weekly reggae show, which was the popular show in Jamaica in the mid-70's and which spawned a number of jingles that have been heavily used ever since. You may think you've never heard one, but I bet you have. As well as holding down [...]
Halfweg de jaren tachtig werd ik (ik geloof eens in de twee weken) op vrijdagochtend gewekt door Mikey Dread . Dat was nog eens wat anders dan een Nellie the Elephant als bovenbuuv . Vier uur was het tijdstip dat Rockers in the Morning begon op de VPRO radio. Ik tape'te het programma ook vaak - die bandjes ben ik helaas kwijt. Michael Campbell, zoals hij echt heette, heeft sindsdien altijd een speciale plek in mijn muzikale hart gehad. Een decennium later zag ik hem in levenden lijve, en ik vertelde [...]

Heading into Tuesday here... The day where I'm hoping that Hilary gets her ass kicked all over the Potomac region. I don't even know what it is about her that irks me so much... I just fall into that pool of 48% of people that ain't down with her... visit for more mp3's & random revelations
