Let us know in the comments! disrupt (Jahtari) making a riddim with a MIDIBOX SID synth and a modded Korg Monotron Delay (it’s now in a rack, has proper knobs and cool new extras).

Posted by: dublinator Posted onAugust 25, 2013 Comments: 0

If you want to understand an important part of Jamaican music culture you need to listen to a lot of 45s. Unfortunately due to the popularity of the format so many were made that never made it to a re-issue or compilation LP or CD. Fortunately for us there are some great collectors out there who write great blogs and create great mixes who are willing to share mixes of their collection with us. Here are four great blogs all run by passionate enthusiastic lovers of Jamaican music.

Gaudi | In between times

Posted by: dublinator Posted onJuly 2, 2013 Comments: 3

Discovered this great album via our old pal Tomas @ voltage music on bandcamp. Here’s an excerpt we like but please be sure to read the entire piece – Great music and great writing. Like original dub music, Gaudi’s music takes the listener between the bass lines, leaving space for the nuance and color in his productions to emerge. He’s decided that while the computer offers endless synth, sample and rhythmic layering possibilities, often you can say more with less. “With all of the plug-ins and effects, the result is a wall of sound,” he explains. “There’s no time for the brain to filter it out. With the dub producers as a reference, I give the same importance to the silence between the notes as the notes…

MikuÅ› | Remembrance Dubs

Posted by: dublinator Posted onMay 7, 2013 Comments: 0

A lovely little collection of modern dub tracks that we meant to highlight a long time ago. Check out the rest of the amazing netlabel Planet Terror’s offerings on archive.org MikuÅ› has been our most prolific artist so far, so it seems only right for his fourth Planet Terror offering to kick off 2011. More upbeat that his trio of EPs, set loose in 2009 and 2010, this one is a more joyful, celebratory collection. “Dedicated to the loving memories of Mirka Gorecka, Alicia Wisdom, Eileen Davies and all those no longer with us who live on in our hearts.” MikuÅ› has also just put out a selection of horn-led dubs on his own netlabel, Terra Incognita Recordings. Released simultaneously with this EP, Brass Islands of Dub is also available for…
