Classic JA works from King Tubby, Scratch, Pablo, Yabby You, Israel Vibes...
UK Artists such as Misty in Roots, Ras Kuntus (respect!), Alpha and Omega, Doug Wardrop, Russ Disciple, Adrian Sherwood, Iration Steppas, Aswad, Steel Pulse...
Outside of the reggae and dub arena, way too many influences to mention, but let me say J.S. Bach, Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix.
Thanks to John Peel for musically educating me in my formative years.
There are 11 more Talking Dog tunes on the MP3 player below. Click your mouse over the song list and move up and down to see all the tracks.
Many of these are tunes that I mixed in the days before I had my good HHB Circle 5 monitors. So I am gradually going back to these, remixing them and running versions for sound systems, now that I can actually hear what is going on better in the mix! The new mixes are MUCH heavier and harder than you will hear on most of these.
..True words of H.I.M. Haile Selassie I...if you say that you love Rastafari then follow Selassie I teachings! Many would do well to check and meditate upon what H.I.M ACTUALLY spoke and wrote concerning the truth of spiritual matters, rather than follow myths and misconceptions of men. Look to the bible, and the God of the bible, just as Selassie I himself did and earnestly commended all to do. The truth may offend but it is not a sin. SHALOM.

I produce works in the UK roots and dub tradition, and drawing on original JA and UK influences from the 70's through to movers and earthshakers of the present day. All music, vocals, lyrics and production is strictly my own work.
Lyrics are conscious and spiritual. The music may be hard and heavy, stepping in warrior style, or cool and meditative. Don't even waste your time listening to these tunes unless you have a system that will carry the bass! Not music for little PC speakers...
I have little interest in chasing the commercial runnings of the mainstream music business and seek to make my music directly available to those with ears that wish to hear. Dubplate mixes and specials for soundsystem work can be arranged for those who want them, get in touch to discuss. Talking Dog tracks and dubplates are now being played in conscious soundsystems and radio worldwide, and I give thanks and respect to all who have carried the music out there.
I also play bass and MC for world fusion collective Secret Archives of the Vatican. Check them out and hear some tunes at:

I have been humbled by the supportive and enthusiastic responses from many of you who have checked out the music since I set this page up here. Sincere thanks and love go out to to all of you. I am trying to deal with the many requests that have come for dubplate mixes and songs for sounds and for radio, so if you asked me for something please be patient! I have not forgotten about you. Time (lack of...) is a killer. But I will get to you!

something that i read the other day which i thought was so true, so i thought i share it with you.....We have invented time to feel secure that we can predict life. That clock is merciless, beating out seconds at a constant rate, ignoring the natural changing rhythms of our minds and our bodies. And so we are constantly trying to speed up or slow down. Give yourself a break for a change, - put away that watch for a couple of days and settle into your own natural rhythms.
