Rub A Dub riddim
The base for the Rub A Dub riddim was laid in the Steven Stanley Studios in Kingston (Jamaica), where the drum and bass were recorded with the well-known FIREHOUSE CREW.

The end product is a versatile compilation of 9 very distinct tracks by artists from Jamaica, Trinidad, France and Holland.
