version sound dub mixes

Two new dub mixes available, tracklisting and downloads available from It’s Coming Out Of Your Speaker

“The first mix is “Twiss Up” - featuring a bunch of obscure Dub tunes that you will love. We’ve loaded up the chamber with dubbed-out 80s arcade fx and lazers and digital bombs, which really help bring the soundsystem vibe to the mix. Twiss Up goes into some obscure Jamaican funk later on in the mix - featuring two tunes from a record called Prime Cuts. Then its back into Dub. Good stuff. The second mix “Be Thankful” is a more rootsier dub, deejay and early dancehall-oriented mix. Both are excellent mixes and won’t dissapoint!”

Dub Documentary soon come

I can’t wait to see this documentary on the influence of dub on modern music, worth shelling out a few pennies for the dvd:

“The documentary “Dub Echoes” aims to show how this Jamaican invention called dub ended up influencing much of the music we hear today, from electronic music to hip-hop, transforming the studio in a musical instrument and giving way to all of sonic experiments.

“Dub Echoes” was produced by a Brazilian crew, in Kingston (Jamaica), London (UK), NY, Washington, LA (US), Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo (Brazil).

Key names, from both reggae and the electronic music world, talk about the birth of this genre, how it helped to change the way we perceive music and how it’s presence can still be felt today.

Just follow the bass lines!”

Dub It Up

If the sun ever rears its head again be be prepared with Mr Tricks Dang in Dub2; The Curse of the Black Ark mix.

“This is my personal selection of the finest Upsetter dubs from Lee Perry’s legendary time in his Black Ark studio. As a mix, this one is straight-up: 100% live off my 45s (replete with skips, crackles and more!), armed only with a reverb unit and a space echo to aid blends in true dancehall style.”
