October 2007 - In this deep DUBWISE
experience, we will visit France, Austria,
the UK, South Africa and Dominica for some
crucial "Fruits Music" from the
last 17 years.
Arguable,
the UK and the European continent have been
more receptive for DUB techniques and music
than America, perhaps even Jamaica. Some of
the strongest drum and basslines are created
right there, in the midst of Babylon, even
influencing people to create music that will
cross the borders of Reggae, but not those
of DUB.
Maybe it
has to do with the fact that Europe can also
be considered the musical center of the
world when it comes to deep, electronic
effect driven music. For DUB was one of the
first styles to fit that description, if not
the first.
In
"Shuffle", we will be treated to a
number of crucial European productions,
accompanied by one from the mother land:
South Africa. The kind of music that will on
one hand make you feel completely
chilled-out, while on the other hand some
deep drum and bass ensure a steady pace.
Reggae
purists will wonder just how much
"Reggae" is left in some of the
mixes, but if you listen close you will not
really ask that question. Not everything may
be "Roots Reggae", but it can
definitely described as "Fruits
Reggae"!
