MULE TRAIN RIDDIM produced by JACKPOT 1975
Mule Train Overview
The Mule Train Riddim project is making waves on today’s reggae playlists. This set brings together classic roots sounds with a dub twist, showing why reggae from this era still feels fresh. The dub cut, “New Train Dub” by Augustus Pablo, stands out with its haunting melodica and echoing effects. Augustus Pablo is famous for his album “King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown,” a landmark in dub music. Here, his style adds a deep, meditative mood that sets this project apart from other roots releases of its time. Big Joe And King Tubbys deliver “Rasta Train Dj Version,” blending toasting and heavy dub. King Tubbys is known as a pioneer of dub, and his mixing skills give this track a powerful, spacey sound. Count Prince Miller’s “Mule Train” brings strong vocals and rhythm, while Dennis Alcapone & Count Prince Miller’s “Horse & Buggy” mixes DJ chatting with roots energy. Derrick Morgan, the artist behind “Reggay Train,” is a key figure in reggae history, with his hit “Tougher Than Tough” helping shape the genre. Selectors play an important role in keeping this riddim alive, choosing tracks that keep dance floors moving. The producer, JACKPOT, is known for classic reggae releases and shaping influential riddims. Thanks to these artists and JACKPOT’s vision, the Mule Train Riddim remains a steady favorite for roots reggae fans today.
