The pair began working together as a team in 1975 and they quickly became Jamaica’s leading, and most distinctive, rhythm section. They have played on numerous releases, including recordings by U- Roy, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Culture and Black Uhuru, while Dunbar also made several solo albums, all of which featured Shakespeare. They have constantly sought to push back the boundaries surrounding the music with their consistently inventive work. Dunbar, nicknamed ‘Sly’ in honour of his fondness for Sly And The Family Stone, was an established figure in Skin Flesh And Bones when he met Shakespeare. Dunbar drummed his first session for Lee Perry as one of the Upsetters; the resulting ‘Night Doctor’ was a big hit both in Jamaica and the UK. He next moved to Skin Flesh And Bones, whose variations on the reggae-meets-disco/soul sound brought them a great deal of session work and a residency at Kingston’s Tit For Tat club. Sly was still searching for more, however, and he moved on to another session group in the mid-70s, the Revolutionaries. This move changed the course of reggae music through the group’s work at Joseph ‘Joe Joe’ Hookim’s Channel One Studio and their pioneering rockers sound.

  • Acid Anniversaries: New Album Reviews
    Acid Anniversaries: New Album Reviews Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world January and February are usually quiet months for new music. So it is with 2017! New Year hangovers and Christmas overspending means most artists keep their shiny new records under wraps until the daffodils start to bloom. For the discerning listener though, there are still enough quality new releases to be found to make a trip to the local record store worthwhile. By JOHN BITTLES This week we’ll begin with what should already be considered a modern acid house classic, as Johannes Auvinen returns to his Tin Man alias with a stunning collection of instrumental grooves. If you delight in the sound of weeping 303s, soaring 808s, and/or funky 909s then tracking down a copy of Dripping Acid should be considered a must. In truth, it is no departure from his previous releases on Acid Test, containing as it does 6 separate 12inches of melancholy jams. Yet, as songs such as Oozing Acid, Underwater Acid, Undertow Acid and Viscocity Acid attest, mastering a specific sound is no bad thing. Take opener Flooding Acid for instance, which utilizes heart-wrenching 303s over sombre techno to mesmerising effect. Seriously, if your eyes don’t well up with tears at least once over the song’s ten minute running time you should probably check they still work. Whether you consider yourself an acid techno connoisseur or not, there are few finer experiences in life than finding yourself lost within a Tin Man groove. 9/10.

  • Identification of Multiple Risk Loci and Regulatory Mechanisms Influencing Susceptibility to Multiple Myeloma

Collectively, these data provide evidence for six new MM risk loci, bringing the total number to 23. Integration of information from gene expression, epigenetic profiling and in situ Hi-C data for the 23 risk loci implicate disruption of developmental transcriptional regulators as a basis of MM susceptibility, compatible with altered B-cell differentiation as a key mechanism. Dysregu- lation of autophagy/apoptosis and cell cycle signalling feature as recurrently perturbed pathways. Our findings provide further insight into the biological basis of MM.

Though anecdotal evidence exists, such claims by, or about, these ‘Clever Children’ have not been adequately substantiated and are indicative of a loss of history in relation to electronic music forms (referred to hereafter as Electronica) in popular culture. With the emergence of the Clever Children there is a pressing need to redress this loss of history through academic scholarship that seeks to document and critically reflect on the rhizomatic developments of Electronica and its place within the history of twentieth century music.

  • Dissecting the Genetic Etiology of Lupus at ETS1 Locus
    Dissecting the Genetic Etiology of Lupus at ETS1 Locus A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Immunobiology of the College of Medicine 2017 by Xiaoming Lu B.S. Sun Yat-sen University, P.R. China June 2011 Dissertation Committee: John B. Harley, MD, PhD Harinder Singh, PhD Leah C. Kottyan, PhD Matthew T. Weirauch, PhD Kasper Hoebe, PhD Lili Ding, PhD i Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with strong evidence for genetics factor involvement. Genome-wide association studies have identified 84 risk loci associated with SLE. However, the specific genotype-dependent (allelic) molecular mechanisms connecting these lupus-genetic risk loci to immunological dysregulation are mostly still unidentified. ~ 90% of these loci contain variants that are non-coding, and are thus likely to act by impacting subtle, comparatively hard to predict mechanisms controlling gene expression. Here, we developed a strategic approach to prioritize non-coding variants, and screen them for their function. This approach involves computational prioritization using functional genomic databases followed by experimental analysis of differential binding of transcription factors (TFs) to risk and non-risk alleles. For both electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and DNA affinity precipitation assay (DAPA) analysis of genetic variants, a synthetic DNA oligonucleotide (oligo) is used to identify factors in the nuclear lysate of disease or phenotype-relevant cells. This strategic approach was then used for investigating SLE association at ETS1 locus. Genetic variants at chromosomal region 11q23.3, near the gene ETS1, have been associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or lupus, in independent cohorts of Asian ancestry.
