Alpha Steppa & Joe Ariwa & Lee Scratch Perry – “Open door”

That’s right – young dubheads remix classic tune “Open door” with characteristic voice of Lee Perry on a riddim made by Mad Professor. This tune has been remixed by Alpha&Omega in their heavy style with a brilliant melodica. This is how it looked in the past, now it’s 2013 and the tune gets new coloring and a boost of modernity. Alpha Steppa (son of Alpha&Omega duet) and Joe Ariwa (son of the master Mad Professor) are responsible for the new version. Alpha did it in his own style, connecting Lee Perry’s voice with a heavy rhythm and a subtle melodica, so it’s comparable to the creation of Alpha&Omega, but there is also a surprising version with bass and space, which i love in dub; and that ra ta ta ta ta (whatever it means, it’s beautiful). The next 2 versions made by Joe Ariwa also represent his recognizable style. As for me they don’t shine – they seem to similar, but maybe it’s just my impression. I like his experiments with the dubstep, but I see no fireworks in this approach. To sum up – I am for interpretting classics, especially if it’s done by good producers. I recommend it to everyone, the crazy ra ta ta ta ta will stay in the speakers for a long time.

Kaly Live Dub – “Allaxis”

It’s been 3 years since last release by Kaly Live Dub from France, their album “Lightin’ The Shadow” was excellent – I often play the tune with Biga Ranx on parties – mainly the crazy dub version, so i’ve been waiting too se what will they show us. And there we have 10 tunes that have a lot of strength – the band plays live dub with a deep dubstep accents, in which the bass pierces every part of the body … literally. This time there is only one vocalist Leroy Green (singing in 3 tunes) and he does a good job. The album is musical vision of the French who flow between dub and dubstep… maybe “flow” is a bad word to describe it – they hit you with a massive sound, which will stay in us for a long time. My favourite tracks are “Run and go hide” (the essence of their style), “Can I make a wish” and “No bother jump”. Those are the calmest tunes on the album, but they have a heavy foundation created by the bass. That album is a proof that music doesn’t have any limits and it can do some damage, I recommend it to people open to experiments and to dubstep fans to hear how it’s done by a live band.

Panda Dub ft. Daddy Freddy, Brother Culture & Kali Green – “Lent Roots Pour Chant” EP

Newly created label called Lion’s Den has just released a 12″ album by French producer Panda Dub. He specializes in heavy steppers tunes with rich arrangements – it’s the same way this time. The mix was done by Roommate, and the riddim was filled with lyrics by a legendary soundbwoy Daddy Freddy, Brother Culture who used “Dance Teng” lyric from 1985 and Kali Green, who calls us to live consciously. Lastly, there is a dub version with mix of the vocals and a strong bass piercing the whole body. It all guarantees us a soundsystem hit. We can congratulate Lion’s Den on their great debut and wish that their every release has been on such an amazing level!

Radikal Guru – “Warning”

Radikal Guru and Moonshine Recordings present us “Warning” – the first single from forthcoming Radikal’s album titled “Subconscious”, which is to be released in the November. It contains remixes from Violinbwoy and Dubkasm, what shows us, that Poland has strong representatives on the dub scene. It’s also good to hear the information about Radikal’s second album – judging from the single there will be a lot of good stuff on it.

Back to the release – you can hear the voice of Echo Ranks, who feels the production in 100%. As of the remixes: Violinbwoy, specialized in steppers, gets better all the time and already presents a high level. Dubkasm made a typical dubwise with a bunch of reverbs and echoes in a meditative style. There is nothing else to do than buy the single and wait for another Radikal’s miracles, I am already counting down.

Weeding Dub – “City Walker” (12”)

The French are preparing a new longplay forecasted by a 12″ with 2 tracks and 2 dub versions. The first tune is “City Walker” – energetic powerful steppers with a mighty bass and the second one is “Chido La Banda” composed in Mexico in Bungalo Studio. I look forward to hearing their new album, this year is full of great releases and i feel that Weeding Dub will enter that trend.

Trigram – J-Path

The fact that Alpha Steppa draws inspiration from distant Japan or Korea probably is known by every aware listener; but not everybody knows that he promotes artist from that region for some time. Thanks to it we get to know J-Path, who is present on the music scene for about 20 years. He has been moving in different genres – hip-hop, drum’n’bass and at the present he is exploring the dubstep. Usually he works in Seoul, improving his music which tells us that creativity isn’t limited to one category and can always take us in a completely new jurney if we only want.

03. J-Path & Smiley Song – Truth & Dub

Alpha Steppa – Tricast01

Alpha Steppa, besides releasing other artists, isn’t idle and he gives us a mix of tracks that weren’t published before and ones that will be released on miscellaneous mediums soon. That mix contains some tough dubstep tunes served in a way that you listen to it with a flush, waiting for every next track. The first release is J-Path, and the album will be reviewed on our page (project Trigram is coming…) Are compilations like this one are a new way to present tracks that are going to be released in the future? If so, I am happy about that and I’m wating for more alike stuff.

By the way, we have to brag that Alpha Steppa published his recent tune, which is on the mix, as a video clip and the dubmassive.org and dub senses birthday party that took place in Cracow is a background to it! (material has been recorded by Meet Steem).
