Sardinia Bass Legalize - "What Can I Do For Africa" (MP3)
Sardinia Bass Legalize - "Timeless Version" (MP3)

Although I am not that much into reggae, I like dub a lot. And this release here got a certain quality, especially with the vocals. The charismatic MC sings about Africa, peace, god, faith and love. The sound of the music is clean and charming, a little bit rusty, warm and also a bit of French niceness shines through here and there. All that makes a classical dub-record. Play it in lounges and you will make friends. I promise!

This release contains also a remix, much more blurred and stateless than the dub orientated tracks. What I would love to have is a pure instrumental version of the track "What can I do for Africa". It plays in the same league like "The Modernist", "Rockers Hi-Fi" and deep soundsystem stuff. Who knows, next time the Sardinia Bass Legalize will try something like "DJ Krush" meets "Donna Regina". Won't they??

Jambassa - "like silence" (MP3)
Jambassa - "combo combo thing" (MP3)

Next to Jahtari the Italian A Quiet Bump Netlabel is a constant source of delicate dub anthems. What I like about the Jambassa sound is the curiosity and intelligence with which Carmine Minichiello and Raffaele Gargiulo build their rhythm-driven riddims.

On top seven different artists chant and sing over the grooves from Italy. That makes this album unique and entertaining. Just listen to "like silence" featuring Ltd. Candy and compare it to "combo combo thing" featuring Reddog and Boom Buzz. While Ltd. Candy seduces you with a sexy voice Reddog and Boom Buzz take the train to Zion.

Jambassa sound unique, deep and rhythmic. Big up to Italy!

Jahtari Tribute | While publishing our Jahtari-Portrait some days ago, I thought: "Why not making a mixtape with my favorite Jahtari-anthems?" After some digging through the whole back catalogue I finished my studies of the mighty echo chambers of Jahtari. I rolled you a wonderful spliff of smokey Dub Reggae anthems. Take care, Jahtari might blast you away into bits and pieces of colourful 8-Bit-powered reggae music with dubby sounds and a massive bass. Push up ya lighta, for disrupt and his posse!

aleksi virta - "o tema de viagem especial" (MP3)
aleksi virta - "whirlwind pistols dub" (MP3)

I don't know why, but I like voice samples in music tracks, babbling some weird sentences like "Are you rrready to accept my domination?!?". And aleksi virta does so, too. He found some sources talking about the universe, space men, whatever... Just listen to "outer edge intro", you'll hear what I mean.

Together with the melodic grooves, the offbeat rhythmics in tracks like "whirlwind pistols dub" or the bossa nova-inspired happy-grooves in "o tema de viagem especial" you get a wonderful release. This will be my favorite in the downbeat genre for a while!

A damn cool space trip into the world of melodic downbeats...

PS: Thanks to our writer Martin aka 020200 for the hint...

A Quiet Bump cares about quality. Para, too. Slowly he builds up a relaxed mood, uses all the dub trickery to hypnotise us. Unhasty with ease his tunes let their magnetic field work. Get lost in "Stop motion", swim in the bass pool of "Component" and smile while listening to "slow dub". My favorite, by the way...

The Jahtarians love old computer sounds from the 8-Bit-Era and subsonic basslines. On this release you can enjoy some nicely edited space sounds crawling through your stereo field while Tapes basslines dig your garden upside down. Laid back riddims for your next round of Space Invaders or Asteroids!

"Dub Culture" is a classic single with an intro and two remixes. The title-track itself is just great material to remix and both version "T" and "M" are a welcome offer to let the Ohrwurm crawl back into your ears.

A great "Ohrwurm" for late summer afternoons where warm sunrays warm our skin.

Dubosmium - "Istandub (Supermoog)" (MP3)
(MP3)
Dubosmium - "Overdub Da Dub (Yarkouy)" (MP3)
Dubosmium - "7Heavens" (MP3)

"Green Element" is partly a review of Dubosmiums earlier release "Horiozontal plane polar Dub", but it also features three new tracks, that give us a little impression of his forthcoming longplayer, that will be released later in 2008.

The first track ("7Heavens") is very atmospheric in its sound and it features an ever-present oriental touch, that is highlighted through vocals by Said Jaha. The next two tracks are quite similar in it's sound and make it a lot easier to find obvious connections to dub music. But still, the songs feature a strong ambient element. The last five tracks from the "Green Element" EP are remixes by other Fresh Poulp artists like Rafiralfiro, Xena Supermoog, Silent Bells, Duck and Yarkouy that range from ambient tracks ("Tuvadelic Odyssey") to hard electro-dub with drum 'n' bass elements ("IstanDub").

All in all the "Green Element" EP is a different and interesting approach towards dub music. To me it's still warm in it's mood but at the same time dark and deep. So, it seems to be perfect for the dark nights of the upcoming summertime.

Frank Biedermann - "Ant Attacks (Rob Keens RMX)" (MP3)
Frank Biedermann - "Rumble The Bubmblebee (Donath RMX)" (MP3)

On Frank Biedermanns EP called "Wookiee Woods" you find two smashing DubTechno-Tracks for a frenetic club night: "Wookie Woods" and "Endoor Forest". In contrast the new "Nanowar EP" comes around with a more gentle and lounge-orientated sound. Like on his debut on Stadtgrün Frank Biedermanns throws some techy chords into his delay and filters carefully the sound.

While the originals stay quite streamlined and don't risk to much, the remixers - especially Martin Donath and Rob Keens - get into the game with some additional music ideas. Where Rob Keens entertains us with some pop-like chords and melodies, Martin Donath turns his knobs with a more minimal-orientated flavor. His remix of "Rumble the Bumblebee" lifts us out of the sofa with some subsonic basslines and dark effects. Definetely a minimal and funky stomper!

While disrupt enjoys putting some good old 8-bit-sounds into his tunes, Bo Marley know how to play their instruments. Together with Volfoniq they complete their sound and while they enjoyed the sun last year down at the côte d'azur at Montpelier, we smile now while listening to the melodic reggae anthems they composed for us. Get ready for some brazzling-mad-deep basslines with live instruments and a melodic "Schunkel"-flavour.

"100" puts more fuel in your techno- and house-driven mp3-player. While some tracks like "Borderline" from Laura Palmer lift you slightly up with Progressive House, tracks like "Greet the World with a smile" from Veer stick a little flag into the musical map somewhere inbetween Rhythm & Sound and Luomo. But we get some carefully rockin tracks, too. At the forefront Eloi Brunelle from Epsilonlab/Canada kicks us with "Deepmush" sincere in the butt. His track melts some stompy disco-drums with technoid chords and playful sounds. The most atmospheric production catches us when we drift on off-beat synthesizers-chords from Brian Kage. Nice.

Cologne might be famous for Kraut Rock and the Cologne Cathedral, but very few people have heard of Rap and Soul music from the Rhine metropolis. That’s a shame. Gringo Starr of the Broke Gringos and Lunte of Berlin Rap-duo Sichtbeton are two of the most talented and innovative MCs around. Check “Flamenco” (with SB DJ V-Raeter on the beats) and the awesome posse track “Medikamente” for a taste of their skillfull and lyrical raps.

LAH, Slomo and SEL are good MCs, though their style might be a bit more common, a bit more 90’s (which is nothing to be ashamed of after all). Try “Masterplan” with MC SEL and Reechad at the decks. Last but not least: the girl Fleur Earth. Once I wrote a review about her “Zirkular EP” at Ideology, and I liked these tunes better than the performance she shows up with on CMC II. A good rapper and songstress, still.

"Wir brennen Euch Ab" means in german "We burn you down". But this anthem isn't about making war or getting on the way to the next drive-by. Nonono, it's meant ironically. The producer and his prima donna Fleur Earth just play with us burning down the club with another fantastic disrupt riddim. Or they want to burn down the next skinned up joint with us. I don't care because the bassline and the vocals get me driftin'. Don't miss the remix by Ras Amerlock.

From its mood, "Vate" is best compared with the leaned backed album "Vocalcity" by Luomo. Like Luomo Glander give his tracks room to develop while we slide along with the synth- and bass-sounds.
