TRACK 2: BPM'S OF JOY - MEDITATION DUB
The faster the better, one would say, with a name like that. Truth is, that the joy is more than enough on the pace of this upfull steppers tune with lots of nice guitar work.
Russian Reggae and DUB artists have been producing some pretty strong material as well, a thing proven by this first compilation of the Russian Net Label "Sub Out, Dub In".
TRACK 1: DDRO -AKUAKU (ITALIK DUBREE EDIT)
The synth-beep with echo at the start of this track definitely heralds a piece of DUB Art that will wipe away all prejudice that might have been there concerning Russian Reggae.
TRACK 11: ON DUB GROUND - WORLD CRISIS (DUB PLATE)
We leave the French speaking DUB underground in their vision on the World Crisis: the tempo is more than up, the echo's are more than cutting, DUB avant la lettre, monsieur!
TRACK 10: REDI - LOW ROCKER (PART 2)
Can the Rockers go lower? Can the DUB go deeper? Can the Industrial Sounds become more metallic? Asking the question is provoking the answer to check it out for yourself.
TRACK 9: REDI - LOW ROCKER (PART 1)
Iron sounding synthesizers and flangerish effects form the main ingredient for this darkish Industrial DUBish DUB.
TRACK 8: CRUCIAL ALPHONSO - WATENDE STEPPERS FEATURING REFLEXIAN (PART 1)
Massive, crucial and full of right vibrations: Crucial Alphonso uses this effect on that instrument in what is a nice example of what the French speaking part of Europe actually does with DUB in their culture.
TRACK 7: LORD HISSAYAS - UNIVERSE OF JAH
The first track of this excellent compilation actually carrying vocals is also the strongest track thus far. The trance/techno synthesizers match very well with the steppers drum, yes, in JAH Universe there is harmony!
