VARIOUS ARTISTS - DUBNIGHT COMPILATION VOLUME 1

VARIOUS ARTISTS - DUBNIGHT COMPILATION VOLUME 1
DUBROOM MP3 ALBUM REVIEW

WWW, June 2010 - German based Reggae Website BIGVIBEZ.com has many features, one of which is selector Phil Harmony's radio show "Dubnight". This show stood at the birth of the fine Dubnight Compilation series.

No less than 17 tracks of fine Dub music, of which many are played rather than programmed, even recorded analogue rather than digital. There's some upfull and joyful tunes, heavy-duty steppers and -kind of- everything in between.

Nuff drum and bass, nuff effects and vibes, there's nothing wrong and many good about Dubnight Volume One.

DUBROOM MP3 ALBUM REVIEW

WWW, June 2010 - The selector is based in Germany, from where he presents not only his Dubnight Radio Show at BIGVIBEZ.com but also this more than fine selection of crucial material by a world-wide Dub massive including names like Zion Train, Dubmatix and Malone Rootikal.

Where the first episode of the Dubnight Compilation was good for one CD full of massive material, the second episode comes with two CD's: 25 selections, some of which are more than massive and will definitely be featured in several episodes of Radio Dubroom.

HOT DROP - DIS(COVER) SHOWCASE
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW

WWW, June 2010 - In this free 2010 release, we meet up with the Madrid-based Hotdrop Band who went into the studio to play, record and mix some very upright stricktly old skool style Reggae straight into the 8-track tape recorder.

You simply can't afford to miss out on this album: soulful, vibeful, and definitely more than just giving a retro-sound even though the tracks could have been all recorded "back then".

"Back then", when other versions of these very same songs were released. The title says it: This is a Cover Showcase with every track perfectly played in Hotdrop Style. Played, and mixed: crucial Dub versions follow the vocal parts in what can only be described as already one of the hottest releases of the year in Reggae Net Label Land.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - ITALIAN DUB COMMUNITY SHOWCASE VOLUME ONEDUBROOM MP3 ALBUM REVIEW

WWW, June 2010 - Ten titles, twenty tracks: all produced by Italian artists who met eachother at the website of "Italy's own Zion Train" Moa Anbessa.



Moa Anbessa is a DUB collective from Italy, whose collaborations on stage and in the studio with UK based Zion Train can be heard back in the style of the opening title of the album (also featured in Radio Dubroom 2010 Episode 3). Moa Anbessa's "What A Day" is one crucial opening track and what is even nicer: it's a track which truthfully promises a level of quality which will stand throughout the rest of the album.



M.A.S.S.I.V.E.!

VARIOUS ARTISTS - ITALIAN DUB COMMUNITY SHOWCASE 2

VARIOUS ARTISTS - ITALIAN DUB COMMUNITY SHOWCASE 2DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW

WWW, June 2010 - The second collection of the more than great works by the Italian DUB Community is greater than part one, if only because this is not even a double-album but a triple -album!
It's greater too, because there is a greater number of styles and vibes on this release. There's much more variety in styles, but definitely not in quality. The Roots is there, really there.
It's a Showcase: Every track comes with a vocal and a Dub. With a few exceptions, they all come seperated in Chapter and Version style. Every track is especially mastered for the release, a release for which we not just give thanks, a release for which we say:
BIG UP ITALY MASSIVE!

DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW

WWW, June 2010 - The DUB Engine is based in Bologna (Italy) as a project by producer Nicolo Tucci and female vocalist/percussionist Sabrina Ferro, who also plays flute here and there.

Yes, this is an Italian release even though you hear German too (Ganja Dubfire). But that doesn't matter: the album opens up with an enlish sung tune with excellent Dub version (also featured in Radio Dubroom 2010 Episode 3).

The DUB Engine is in several ways interesting. It contains a number of styles which derived from Dub, somehow incorporated back into the original concept of Dub. There's a huge variety, not every track will appeal to everyone but every track will definitely appeal to some ones.

Niceness!

ONDUBGROUND - LOLA

ONDUBGROUND - LOLADUBROOM MP3 REVIEW

WWW, May 2010 - From the Net Label ORIGINAL DUB GATHERING that provides the online (DUB) Reggae community with several more than crucial releases, with massive music played by the Label's house band, vocalists and Dub engineers to bless up the Steppers riddim: Here is LOLA!
In four different mixes, we're being introduced to the Lola riddim by the French Roots Reggae Dub band Ondubground. It's a massive, solid and still highly danceable Steppers riddim which is voiced and mixed as skillful as the riddim is played (and recorded).
Two mixes were featured in Radio Dubroom's very first episode in this year: a thing which is very likely to happen several times in the future as well, since it's one of ODG's most crucial releases of the year thus far!

VARIOUS ARTISTS - DUB WARS
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW

WWW, May 2010 - Fifteen acts, one Dub engineer: in this September 2009 release from ORIGINAL DUB GATHERING, Redi (Ruhdy) takes us on a journey into Dub Space inspired by the movies "Star Wars".
Dub Wars is definitely not full of war vibes, quite contrary to the suggestion given by the title. It's not full of energetic steppers at warp speed either, but rather filled with -for example- milder versions of the relatively new Dub derivate called DubStep.
Next to these DubStep tunes, we're also treated to a couple of relaxed DigiDubs where the French vibes definitely come through. French Dub is a sister style of UK Dub, but the differences are there, perfectly captured in this Dub Wars compilation.
Because all the tracks are processed by one Dub engineer, another very interesting aspect about Dub Wars is the fact that somehow all the fifteen acts get a sound which radiates throughout the entire album. In a way, this is not a compilation but an album by Dub engineer Redi, or Rhudy if you prefer...
Conclusion: Dub Wars has not so much to do with war, but rather with peace. Peaceful vibes from a French Dub engineer who definitely knows what he's doing: spreading good vibes where that is so much needed!
