ROIR is excited to announce that we will be releasing the international debut by Brazilian dub sensations Digitaldubs!
Digitaldubs were one of the first soundsystems in their native Rio de Janiero, Brazil. They’re now one of the country’s most respected acts, having revolutionized reggae culture in their homeland and brought the Brazilian reggae sound all over Latin America and Europe.
ROIR presents Digitaldubs first US release, “#1″, which drops a wicked selection featuring singers, deejays, and, of course, killer dubs. The duo enlist such legendary vocalists as Ranking Joe, Earl Sixteen, and Brinsley Forde of Aswad, as well as Brazilian contributers Jeru Banto and Dada Yute to set fire to some crucial riddims.
For the next two weeks, ROIR will be giving away tracks from Digitaldubs #1 on Facebook.
This week’s track is “Pirate’s Game” feat. 70s Jamaican reggae singer Earl Sixteen. Watch the video then visit ROIR on Facebook to download a FREE MP3:

Bad Cop‘s new video for “I’m In Lust With You” (taken off their debut album Harvest the Beast) premiered today on PopMatters:
Also up on PopMatters is a demo version of a new song “Wet Lips”, originally debut on Subba Cultcha. The final version of this song will be available on a 7″ released this summer… and guess who will be releasing the 7″? That’s right.* Don’t turn the dial!
Culture Bully says:
“Wet Lips” is sloppy, slightly spacey and fully raging, but from the sound of things the demo doesn’t compare to the version of the track which will be released on the 7″.

*ROIR, if you couldn’t guess.

We also have another special announcement from the Legendary Pink Dots…. it’s no secret that Amanda Palmer loves the Legendary Pink Dots but what we’ve not been able to tell anybody until now is that Amanda has asked them to play the Dresden Dolls very special Halloween show at Irving Plaza!
