Playlist for Nov. 19, 2010


Scientist is currently touring the UK & Ireland, supporting the soon to be released double album Scientist Launches Dubstep Into Outer Space, due in December from Tectonic Recordings.

On the album, Scientist remixes fresh dubstep tracks by many of the biggest names in the business, including Kode9 & Spaceape, Shackleton, RSD and King Midas Sound.

In the live show, he provides a live dub remix for the "Upsetters" who may or may not be some incarnation of Lee "Scratch" Perry's recording group, who also went by the name "The Hippy Boys" and, most famously, recorded with Bob Marley et al. as "The Wailers." He's supported by such dubsteppers as Pinch, Mala, Pokes and Loefah.

SACRIFICE by Gregory Isaacs:

I was given as a sacrifice
To build a black man's hell an' a white man's paradise
But now that I know
It's time I've got to go, Lord
The proceedings seem so painful
And so slow, slow, slow
The proceedings seem so painful
And so slow

I have gathered all the wealth
From all over the world
Beating chains an' shackles
Just to help them make them kings, duke and earl
But now that I know
It's time I've got to go, Lord
The proceedings seem so painful
And so slow, slow, slow
The proceedings seem so painful
And so slow

What I give is what I will take
I gave love - I won't take no hate
I say : love love love - iniversally
Love love love

What I give is what I will take
I gave love - I won't take no hate
I say : love love love - iniversally
Love love love - itinually
Love love love
That is what I give
And that is what I take
