Volume Two of The Soma Sessions

 Dub Session Episode 48 - The Soma Sessions Volume 1 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:14:11

What do root canals, spinal injuries, and nagging bitchy girlfriends have in common? They are all intolerably painful, exceedingly difficult to manage; they show no mercy; and each can make you cry if you make a wrong move. The month of October finds resident DJ ChillWill spinning and slipping discs, and riding the Soma train until heading to the orthopedic chop shop later this month. For DS episode 48, we invite you to put a glide in your stride, a dip in your hip, and get on the mother ship for the Soma Dub Sessions. One of the greatest qualities of reggae music is its ability to deliver messages of despair, pain, grief, injustice, and alienation (as well as messages of hope, love, vision, gratitude, unity, appreciation) over an enjoyable, uplifting melodic structure and downtempo drum and bass grooves. Reggae can often serve as a healing music, delivering soothing rhythms and a meditative, chilled-out, introspective, calming experience. No other music is as universally loved on rainy days as well as sunny days for its effortless ability to enhance the joys and blues of the human experience, and to elevate the spirits of the listener. "One good thing about music - when it hits you feel no pain." - Bob Marley, Trenchtown Rock
