 s/376913\n\n\n\nMacka B was one of Britain's most influential dancehall to
 asters\, pushing the music back toward a Rastafarian political consciousne
 ss. His rough\, gravelly vocals gave him an instantly identifiable sound\,
  and his production -- chiefly handled by Mad Professor -- updated dub reg
 gae techniques for the dancehall age\, proving that the two sounds weren't
  mutually exclusive. Although the vast majority of Macka B's material was 
 devoted to spiritual and social messages\, he did lighten the mood with oc
 casional humorous novelty material. He shunned any aspirations for a comme
 rcial crossover\, however\, staying true to the sound and spirit of reggae
 's roots. His 1986 album Sign of the Times still remains a milestone of Br
 itish reggae\, and he continued to record for Mad Professor's Ariwa label 
 into the new millennium.\nHailing from Brighton are The FreeDub Press. A s
 ix-piece outfit that create fuse dub\, reggae\, ska and hip-hop with punk 
 inspired lyricism that doesn’t sit on the fence. Chris William’s soari
 ng lead vocal creates a wave of melody that bounces off the contrast of De
 an Ormsby’s gritty rhymes that explore serious issues and connect with a
 udiences of all backgrounds. The lead vocal duo are backed by solid\, pump
 ing beats\, groove heavy bass lines\, bubbling keys and melodic sax which 
 all blend together to create a truly unique sound.\n\nEasy Skankin are a c
 ollective of some of the best Reggae DJs in Brighton. All have impressive 
 backgrounds\, which when bought together promises to uplift your soul as y
 ou skank to the sounds of Ska\, Rocksteady\, Roots\, Rubadub and Dancehall
