DJ I-SMASH DUB, ROOTS AND REGGAE MIX
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW
WWW, November 2008 - He works in Switzerland, Italy and Germany as an acclaimed Techno/House DJ. Just what would he select for 1 hours and 40 minutes of Dub, Roots and (other) Reggae?
The result may surprise you.DUB has been more than influential in the eventual creation of electronic Dance music: a thing you can read on many Dubroom pages. Ever since King Tubby cultivated the skill of mixing into a work of Art, people have been developing their own style over the concept.
A concept of drums, bass, and effects. A concept wherein instruments drop in and out rather than playing solo's et cetera. A concept wherein just one or two lines of singing have more effect than many full lyric tracks.
Listen to certain UK DUB, and you will hear a style that many Reggae fans will not even (want to) recognize as a form of Reggae. Add to that, a lot of Reggae fans have a lot of dislike for contemporary digital music.
On the other hand, we do find that a lot of House/Techno producers and DJ's will know all too well just where their music is (partly) coming from. A lot of them have a love for Reggae, and especially DUB.
One of these DJ's is DJ I-smash, aka Psysmael. He works for Swiss radio, organizes festivals and is a wanted guest on parties in Switzerland, Italy and Germany. He can tell you all about electronic music and knows how to spin a few records.
In this mix, however, he doesn't "go techno". Quite the contrary, actually. In one hour and forty minutes he shares some of his (DUB) Reggae favorites. A look at the playlist might surprise you.
The music is mixed one track after the other, sometimes with a little effect but mostly just a no-nonsense non-stop mix of some of the most heartical DUBS and other Reggae out there.
