Fight The Fire: Digital Reggae, Conscious Roots & Dub In Nigeria 1986-1991
2026 UK 2xLP Compilation

An incredible collection!
This focuses on Nigerian reggae and dub recordings from the late analog-to-digital transition era of 1986–1991.

These GREAT songs are loaded with primitive drum machines, synths, deep heavy bass and spring reverb, rather than the old school live band recordings of 70s roots reggae.

It is a wonderful compilation for fans of all kinds of dub and reggae like me; it’s very militant, smoky, and very underground late #80s .

I particularly love Orits Williki’s title track, and Mac Dessy Adult’s “Labrock Dub”.

Just fucking fantastic.

Revisiting Open the Morning from the catalog. A roots reggae piece about the morning after -- not the dramatic turning point, just the quiet moment when the weight shifts slightly and you hold still and wait. #reggae #rootsreggae #atmospheric #ambient #consciousmusic

Returning to Open the Morning from the catalog. A roots reggae piece for the morning after -- when the weight has shifted just slightly and you are not sure yet whether to trust it. Slow groove, deep synth bass, restrained melodica. Patient and unhurried. #reggae #rootsreggae #ambient #atmospheric #consciousmusic

Revisiting Open the Morning from the catalog -- a roots reggae piece that lives in that uncertain early light after something difficult. Not triumphant. Just open. #RootsReggae #Atmospheric #Conscious #Reggae #Healing

Returning to Open the Morning from the catalog -- a roots reggae piece about recovery that arrives without fanfare. The kind where one morning you realize something has quietly shifted inside you. #RootsReggae #Atmospheric #HealingMusic #Conscious #Reggae

Returning to Open the Morning from the catalog. Roots reggae about the kind of recovery that happens quietly, almost without you noticing. Deep melodic bass, one-drop groove, and just enough space to breathe. #ReggaeMusic #RootsReggae #AmbimusIC #HealingMusic #Conscious
