January 2021 - Over one and a half hour of
pure DUB Niceneness, and let's do a little
name dropping to proof the point in an
instant: Conscious Sounds (Dougie Wardrop),
Vibronics, Dubcreator and the Shiloh Ites
label featuring the incredibly talented JAH
Melody. Belgium based DUB Reservoir did it
once again!
The twenty
two tracks on the compilation fit well
together, even though they al have their own
specific vibes. Well done selection to say
the least. Take the second track, mixed by
the Dutch Dubcreator. A Discomix, that is a
vocal track followed by it's Dub version.
Heavyweight sounds from Amsterdam. Not just
veterans on this compilation, though. Irie
Ilodica from Belgium, for example. Cool
Dubwise for real.
Lovers of
horns will come to their satisfaction when
they play the track from the Italian
producer Michael Exodus, as some impressive
work is performed by Jamma Din. More horns
accompany the Dutch singer Jah Melody on a
release by the Swedish based label Shiloh
Ites. The talented singer knows what he
sings about, purity you can hear. And that's
just the beginning.
Lost in Dub
2 also shows just how much different styles
there actually are in Dub. Hard digital
steppers, Ire laid back musical works from a
full band, and everything in between. And
yes, there are some really big names in
there but it would not be fair or even
realistic to just recommend the compilation
just for that. There are some really
impressive works to be discovered by some
lesser known producers and bands.
Yes, one
hour and thirty-five minutes of pure
Niceneness, a true gift from both the
creators and the Dub Reservoir label and
collective.
