                                    July 2010 - BR Stylers is definitely
                                    one of the best DUB (Reggae) bands. Based in
                                    Italy, they're part of a generation of
                                    relatively new bands like the French No More
                                    Babylon. INDUBSTRIA, released in April last
                                    year (2009) is their fourth album and it's a
                                    truly massive piece of work, definitely
                                    their best thus far! Vocals and DUB tracks
                                    that cannot be ignored! In fact,
                                    INDUBSTRIA is produced very much in the
                                    style of what is called Showcase albums:
                                    Vocal tracks followed by their Dub versions,
                                    either in extended mixes or two different
                                    tracks following each other in one way or
                                    another. A tradition that fits very well for
                                    the music by BR Stylers, which could simply
                                    be described as solid, orthodox Roots
                                    Rockers Reggae with even more excellent DUB
                                    mixing on top of it, but that would simply
                                    be too little credit for the Italian Dub and
                                    Reggae collective/band. BR Stylers
                                    have been working from a specific view
                                    wherein concepts like "ancient
                                    purity" are central. Could sound a bit
                                    New-Ageish for some, but it's a fact that
                                    nature and also the nature of humankind is
                                    seriously under attack and things can't go
                                    on like this. Artistically, all of this is
                                    translated into a traditional, even orthodox
                                    Showcase album which in itself is quite an
                                    achievement.  So: let's
                                    go to the music.  The music
                                    on INDUBSTRIA is simply too good be
                                    described in words. It's massive, it's
                                    versatile, it's catching. Fast tunes and
                                    slow ones, Steppers and other Roots Rhythms,
                                    lyrics that give more than food for thought,
                                    every element that should be there is there.
                                    The DUBS are mixed very skillfully in the
                                    tradition made popular by UK DUB acts.
                                    They're intense, impressive, truly the work
                                    of a DUB Master. Hopefully
                                    this is not the last we will hear from this
                                    massive band. INDUBSTRIA is definitely
                                    leaving the listener with a desire to hear
                                    much more!
