Ask Mr.Science

Moved from the left to the right coast last summer. This year will be my first indoor grow. Don't have any knowledge as Cali was all open-air. Been playing the girls a heavy heavy rotations of Dubwise. They feel the bass throb & JA vibe to their roots. They seem to be really responding to these two. Flabba's bass is divine.

Hope you mere mortals enjoy it as well as the alien breed does...

Flabba & Bingy Bunny

How have I gone this long without dub’n the Roots Radics? They are probably the premier session band in all of Jamaica.

The seeds of Roots Radics sprang from Morris 'Blacka' Wellington's band, the Morwells in the form of Errol 'Flabba' Holt - bass & Eric 'Bingy Bunny' Lamont - guitar. They had grown up in the Ghost Town area of Trenchtown & had been friends since schooldays. The two teamed up with members of Channel One session group the Revolutionaries. The Revolutionaries featured the rhythm section of bassist Sly Dunbar & drummer Robbie Shakespeare. When Sly & Robbie left to launch their own label...Taxi Records...the Revolutionaries became the Roots Radics.

Roots Radics' first hit "Bounty Hunter" was produced by Henry 'Junjo' Lawes, released in 1979. They soon became spearheads of the dancehall style that dominated reggae music in the early 80s. Although dancehall was their forte, they produced a large volume of Dub output, working with various producers & artists.

For your enjoyment, some Roots most Radics. First off, in memory of Henry 'Junjo' Lawes…

Here Roots Radics are: Bingy Bunny & Dwight Pinkney – guitar; Wycliffe 'Steelie' Johnson – keyboards; Flabba Holt – bass; & Lincoln 'Style' Scott – drums with (Gaylord) Bravo at the controls.
