Echoes Magazine - December 2018

This December issue of Echoes includes my round-up of the year - Reggae 2018: World In Motion - and an interview with UB40, whose forthcoming album For The Many heralds a return to the social commentaries and love of dub that characterised their earliest records. The BBC documentary Reggae Fever: David Rodigan and the Bass Culture Expo 70/50 exhibition at London's University of Westminster are discussed in Vibes; Kumar's It's Alright heads the two pages of singles reviews, and there are reviews of albums by Mykal Rose, Donovan Kingjay and The Drop, as well as the soundtrack to Yardie.
