More info about Rootsman:
The Rootsman is a musician and DJ based in Bradford, England. His musical career began when he was living in Edinburgh, Scotland and taught himself to play guitar in 1978 at the age of 13 and formed his first punk band. With his group "State Oppression" he made his debut gig in 1981, supporting the Angelic Upstarts. After 3 concerts, he decided that being a guitarist in a band was not for him and he retired from that aspect of the music business. He moved to Bradford in 1983 and quickly immersed himself into the local reggae scene. He worked for over two years in the local Roots Record Shop, where he began to be known as "Rootsman". In 1985 he started selecting on local sound systems and the following year began to play on university radio and local pirate radio stations. This continued for a number of years until he founded his own club night "Dub Me Crazy" at the end of 1991.
"Dub Me Crazy" was extremely successful in promoting roots and dub music in the north of England and also giving a platform for up and coming artists to play their own material. A residency with the innovative Soundclash club in Leeds followed a couple of years later, and Rootsman began playing alongside leading DJs like Dr Alex Patterson from The Orb, Andrew Weatherall, Justin Robertson (Lionrock) and others. In this period, Rootsman also founded the Third Eye Music label and released the debut album from Dayjah and The Disciples, entitled "Storm Clouds" which was very popular on the roots scene.
Rootsman has provided remixes for Soulfly (ex-Sepultura), Glen Brown, Blue, The Woodshed, Treponem Pal, Dub War, Black Star Liner, Dub Syndicate, Muslimgauze, Grounation, Celtarabia, Primitive, G2, Systemwide, Banned X, Rosapaeda, Submission, Rasboras Inc, Dubblestandart, Lion's Den Dub Shower, Banned-X, Strongpoint and Oochi.

...well Rootsman is running a roots reggae, dancehall and dub soundsystem for looong time, but he also made loads of albuns in the past and some of these albuns are top quality dub vibes with a bit of psychedelic on it...he collaborated also with Gabriel le mar of Saafi Brothers and many other artists...he has also appear on some compilations of psychedelic labels in the past such as liquid audio soundz and others.
Hope it will help you mate, and most important hope to see you there  |
