Select One - History & Background
In 2013, the regular dance event “Rockin’ & Swing” was launched in Nagoya under the initiative of Ackee & Saltfish, bringing together selectors, MCs, and Dee Jays from various local sounds to champion the Rub A Dub Style.
Staying true to the spirit of 70s and 80s Rub A Dub, the concept was simple: selectors would play 7-inch or 12-inch records featuring singers’ original cuts, followed by the iconic call “Part Two Style!“, allowing Ackee & Saltfish, along with other Dee Jays and MCs, to take the mic and ride the version.
The collective that formed around this dance became known as Select One, laying the foundation for the crew as it exists today.
Following the early days of Rockin’ & Swing, members Toiken and Jabba carried on the legacy of Select One, curating selections that ranged from Rocksteady, Early Reggae, and Roots Rock to early digital Dancehall, always staying true to a Strictly Rub A Dub and Roots & Culture approach.
In 2015, Select One had the honor of sharing the stage with Ranking Joe, delivering an authentic 80s Rub A Dub Style session that earned praise from veteran Jamaican artists who had lived through that golden era.
Since then, Select One has had the opportunity to play alongside legendary artists such as Lone Ranger & Carlton Livingston, Josey Wales, and Shinehead, as well as collaborate with various sounds and artists from Japan and abroad.
