[Review] Derrick Parker – “Returns Pon Top” (Flash Hit Records)

[Review] Derrick Parker – “Returns Pon Top” (Flash Hit Records)

derricThe recent EP from Flash Hit Records brings us talented vocalist Derrick Parker on modern digital riddims. They are made in a modern, bassy flavour – just check excellent, pounding “Gone Pon Top”, massive “Dead Sound” or “Turn It Up”! A deadly combo of steppa, heavy basslines, subtle dubbing, a digital style with classic sounds and crazy synths – the main theme from “Dead Sound”, especially in the version, is absolutely cosmic. Lovers of classic rub-a-dub style will also be satisfied, Derrick easily catches the atmosphere of a riddim and flows easily and naturally.

A highly energetic EP, full of buzzing vibes – perfect if you need a boost.

[Review] “Homage To The King” – King Yoof (Moonshine Recordings)

[Review] “Homage To The King” – King Yoof (Moonshine Recordings)

MSLP005Attention all classic dub lovers! The next LP from Moonshing Recordings brings us a delightful dose of old-school dubbing style and sounds. English producer King Yoof has worked on it for years and the time spent on polishing these tunes can be easily heard. The sound is amazing – warm, with vibrant basslines, mild drums, like taken straight out of Jamaican studio in the 1970s. But the best thing for me is the style of dubbing – all these delays, reverbs, flangers, lo-fi processing especially in the higher frequencies – they create absolutely stunning dub soundscape. Excellent arrangements with attention to dubwise parts complement the overall perception of this album.

“Homage To The King” is a time machine to the golden era of classic, Jamaican dub. If you love King Tubby, Scientist and other masters of dub, then you’ll love it from the very first sounds. I am completely under the spell of its old-school charm.

[Review] Dub Invaders vol. 3 part 2 (Jarring Efects)

[Review] Dub Invaders vol. 3 part 2 (Jarring Efects)

Dub-Invaders-photoIn March we were writing about the first part of the 3rd release (http://dubmassive.org/en/12317/dub-invaders-vol-3-part-1-aku-fen-feat-omar-perry-twelve-feat-doubla-j) from French crew Dub Invaders; now the time for the part 2 has come! Dub Invaders consist of members of High Tone band – if this name is familiar to you, then you know that their music has no borders and limits. With the trademark of a musical vision fueled by endless creativity, you never knows what sounds will reach your ears and test your speakers.

Keeping in mind the above, I will not try define the genre of “Boom Sound” by Roots’N Future Hi-Fi with Isiah Mentor on the vocals. This tune is 100%, totally, completely and maximally MAD. Sharp synths will drill your ears, digital flavour rhythm will start your body bouncing, steppa drums and wild basslines will try to crush the walls in your room, while Isiah’s vocals will increase your desire to teleport immediately into the epicentre of a soundsystem session.

On the B side we get Troy Berkley (Fogata Sounds, OBF, L’Entourloop) on the vocals and the riddim made by Led Piperz. He’s easily switching between rapping and singing, as the riddim changes – really lots of things happen in this electro-style dub. The same is with the second track on this side, where Hatboy Harry flows on a pounding electronic riddim.

Dub Invaders knocked me out with their music once again but please – don’t stop doing this.

[Event] Bass Camp – Sound System Weekender // 30.06 – 03.07.2016 // Rudawka Rymanowska

[Event] Bass Camp – Sound System Weekender // 30.06 – 03.07.2016 // Rudawka Rymanowska

flyer_AGreetings Bass Campers!
It gives us great pleasure to announce the second edition of Bass Camp Weekender taking place between 30th of June and 3rd of July 2016 in Rudawka Rymanowska, Poland.
Far away from the city jungle, close to nature’s heart, wrapped up with low frequencies coming from the speakers of Roots Revival Sound System and Dubseed Sound System, we’ll be skanking to the music presented by a top a top Polish and international producers and selectors. On the top of that this year we want to introduce the Day Stage powered by Paproota.org Sound.System – new Soundsystem from Southern Poland and pioneer of netlabel releases in East Europe. Day Stage will run from 3PM until 9PM before Dub Stage and Bass Stage starts.

WORKSHOPS
Apart from the musical therapy we will start each day with ROOTS YOGA presented by Janek Kos and of course there will be a chance to attend lectures and workshops. We will host disscussion with our friend and last years performer Playaman responsible for sustainable building aka green building based on the case of his own house being built deep in Beskid Wyspowy mountains, we will “reason” with Jerry Lionz – guitar player of Twinkle Brothers, session musician of countless UK roots reggae releases
since late 70s until now and a prodcer just starting his own label – Lionz Den.

Last year’s interest in music production workshops was unbelievable so we decided to invite I-Mitri again and expand the workshops by inviting one of the best producers out of Poland and perfectionist – Marek Dreadsquad as well. You’ll be able to find out how to set up a mixing desk, sound card, software & effects, what do you need to start dubbing live, how to set up and use auxilary effects, how to use Ableton Live & Push to create and mix tracks, music theory basics – bars, beats, harmonies, melodies and all kind of tips and tricks.

FOOD & DRINKS
We are taking over one of the venue’s kitchens with our own dedicated crew. They will prepare vegan and vegetarian food and will be open from late breakfast-time through lunch, dinner until late night munchies. We will also be taking care of your thirst, all you beer drinkers! We are pleased to announce collaboration with our friends from one of the best craft breweries in Poland Inne Beczki. Among several taps everyone will be able to find something really nice: from freshly brewed lagers and pils through fruity, light radler to heavy IPA and APA. Stay tuned as we will have an additional surprise, prepared specially for Bass Camp!
For non alcoholic drinkers we will have a nice selection of natural stuff from the nearest natural health resort we could find based just 20km from Rudawka Rymanowska, where mineral springs were discovered in late XIX century and are well popular until now.

ACCOMODATION
As far as we know all rooms and camping houses are sold out but tent area is pretty much unlimited and is included in ticket price!

TRANSPORT
We are aware that journey to our festival might be long since we are deep in the mountain area. Parking space in the venue is limited so please try to share cars with others if you have space, also you’re more than welcome in our carsharing group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/468607043306888. If you choose public transport please go towards Krosno or Rymanow where you will be able to catch bus (local company “BESKID”) straight to Rudawka Rymanowska. We’ll get the schedule very soon. Give us a helping hand and please invite your friends to our event (its always better to party with good friends isn’t is?) and reserve the last weekend of June for Bass Camp Weekender 2016!
See you in Rudawka Rymanowska!

[Review] “Dub Revolution” series – Indica Dubs meets Forward Fever, Crucial Alphonso, Echo Vault

[Review] “Dub Revolution” series – Indica Dubs meets Forward Fever, Crucial Alphonso, Echo Vault

IMG_9039The next triple 7” set from Indica Dubs was inspired by Belgium “Dub Revolution” event, where he performed in November 2015. Sukh invited three talented producers from this growing scene. Forward Fever has already co-operated with him on previous releases, here they prepared a mystical and monumental instrumental dub “Jah Lead Us” with old-school sounds of strings and horns. “Oluwa” with Crucial Alphonso is a massive, rolling steppers with a strong, main theme. The last one – “Judgement Dub” with Echo Vault is the fastest one, also in a heavyweight style. The nice things is that all three 7” are different but have a common mood – mystical, deep and heavy dub, where melodies are built mainly with horns and strings sounds.

Tuff vibes, highly recommended for all dubheads!
