Poulp
DUBROOM
NETLABEL REVIEW |
| WWW,
August 2012 - They're not your typical (DUB)
Reggae Net Label, but that's just because
they prefer to focus on "everything
electronic", basically. So you're
dealing with all kinds of styles but also
with DUB and even though you have to search
a bit deeper, Fresh Poulp most certainly has
some real DUB Gems in their ever expanding
catalogue.
The Net
Label was founded in 2004 with the intention
to use the World Wide Web to distribute free
music of basically everything electronic. In
their
own words, "Sailing through
dub, techno, electronica and drum’n'bass,
the poulp’s tentacles also lead to other
musical style fiting with the electronic
domain and all its crossovers (hip-hop,
jazz, oriental music)."
A visit to
the official
website will certainly
provide you with much more than was reviewed
here in the Dubroom.

LIVITY
ACCESS - NET TAPE
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
August 2012 - They're based in Nancy
(France), from where they release and
perform Conscious (DUB) Reggae in a very
pure and heartical form. On their WEBSITE,
you can find video's capturing the Ire Vibes
and on the album "Net Tape" you
can enjoy some of their own productions Inna
Showcase Stylee!
Featuring
guest vocalists like Mighty Howard and Solo
Banton, Livity Access' "Net Tape"
contains 15 titles, out of which there are
several vocals with their Dub versions. The
excellent "Ire Soldiers", for
example. Or "Manifest", a call to
legalize the herb instead of maintaining
repressive laws on herb, based on lies.

DUBALIZER
- IN TRANSE
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
June 2011 - Hailing from Sao Paulo,
Dubalizer knows how to make some very
interesting mixes in which he takes the
concept of Dub as his guideline, while kind
of taking straight back to the source those
techniques that derived from DUB.
Unfortunately,
In Transe does only contain three tracks.
These three tracks all have their own
specific vibe and style even though
everything is undoubtly coming from the same
producer. From the magnificent opening track
to the heartically voiced middle one to the
more Dubstep orientated closing tune, this
is more than interesting to listen to.

VARIOUS
ARTISTS - DUB TENTACLES VOLUME 2
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
August 2012 - They focus on basically
"everything electronic" at Fresh
Poulp, which includes DUB and Roots. This
rings through at the selection of their DUB
TENTACLES compilation series but in no way
that should keep you from checking out the
second chapter.
For
example, the excellent opening track by the
Spanish band Hot Drop, of which we reviewed
quite some stuff here at mp3.dubroom.org.
Although there's little DUB in it, the Roots
Reggae Band doesn't disappoint those looking
for the better Reggae. Or Panda Dub's
"First Meet", an upfull and
righteous Steppers with vocalist Youyou. A
floorshaker fe real! Barbes D is present
with a cool tune featuring singer Sammy
Gold, crucial DUB there!

Various
Artists - DUB Tentacles Volume 3
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
August 2012 - The third installment of FRESH
POULP's Tentacle of DUB
Compilation Series gives an oversight in not
only DUB but also styles that derive from
it, like Dubstep. A style that not every
lover of DUB will apprecilove in the same
manner, and so this album does not just
contain Dubstep but also styles "closer
to home", let's say.
"Don
Dub" by Malta-based Mind's Eye DUB is
the fourth track and the first upright,
no-nonsense Roots Reggae track. Some great
melodica and the typical bubbling organ.
It's followed by Ackboo's "Holy Mount
Zion" featuring Steve Steppa: a hard
hitting steppers rhythm as the Book of
Bibles is quoted and excellent singing is
done.

ALGAR
- STEPPACTION
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
August 2012 - Steppaction could best be
described as a combination of heavy duty
steppers dubs and more psychedelic material
wherein you can hear all kinds of
soundscapes and voices heavily mixed. Not
all the tracks could be seen as DUB as there
are combinations with elements
Drum&Bass, but the ones that can be
should be!
There's not
much information on the Internet about Algar,
other than that he seems to be based in
Sweden and Germany (LINK).
It's also clear that he's inspired by the
current and recent developments in the UK
and the rest of Europe when it comes to
heavyweight DUB sounds.

Guitoud
- Conscious Rasta
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
WWW,
September 2012 - Straight from the
French (DUB) Reggae underground, this very
interesting one filled with eleven titles
all starting with the letter C. C as in
Conscious, even though there are hardly any
lyrics in this no-nonsense instrumentalist
Reggae album.
"Conscious Rasta" is indeed
interesting for a variety of reasons. Much
thought has been put in the music, both in
the samples as well as the (excellent)
instrumentation and overall concept. Expect
an album that is filled with intelligence
and style, as you listen to the
instrumentals with nuff Dub effects here and
there you will definitely recognize the
amount of work that has been put in it.

DUBZOIC
- UNCEASINGLY
DUBROOM
MP3 ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
July 2010 - In four tracks, we
get ourselves familiar with the musical
productions of the Italian based DUBZOIC
band and the vocal works of UK based Sista
Sara.
The four
works on UNCEASINGLY fit very well in the
style of digital Roots and DUB which is so
strong all over the UK and the European
continent. The fact that this is a work
where studio's in Italy and the UK both have
been involved can easily be recognized by
the lover of the better Steppa's and other
Reggae rhythms.
