The second Alpha Steppa Meets Alpha & Omega release in the ‘Dub Dynasty’ series features the late legendary Gregory Isaacs, one of the most talented reggae artists of all time. Gregory passed away recently and this release comes as a tribute to the greatly missed Cool Ruler himself. The exclusive Gregory vocal was recorded in London by Alpha & Omega and Jonah Dan and is presented on this new dubstep-meets-UK dub EP. This exciting release showcases not only a unique combination of Jamaican reggae, UK dub and dubstep, but also represents the sound of two generations of UK dub music.

“Heavy reggae riddim. Through recorded only weeks before his death, and audibly frail, Gregory Isaacs still has great presence on this – and Ben Alpha Steppa, whose dad and aunt are legendary Bristol dub duo Alpha & Omega, turns in a steady and truly dubwise steppers’ rhythm to do him proud. Laced with amazing echo FX, this is how to put the dub in dubstep.”
