Cubiculo Records – “Crucial Stepper EP”

Cubiculo Records – “Crucial Stepper EP”

AF_CubiculoRecs_LABELCubiculo Records label has surprised me very nice – they has been releasing rather digital reggae so far, but this time they gave us very tuff, heavy steppers. This amazing 12” is the 5th piece from Cubiculo and its power comes from Belgian guy Digid, who is responsible for three versions. First one is voiced by Brazilian Junior Dread, known from his works alongside fellows from DigitalDubs, who is fighting hard with surrounding Babylon. Second one is dub with heavy bass, which sounds like proper thunder and in third version it is exposed very strongly – yeah, it is RAW. The dessert we got remix from Alpha Steppa, who adds his very characteristic flavor which ensures, that a lot of dances will be mashed up by this EP.

People from Cubiculo Records describes this EP as heavyweight music, full of cosmic basslines surrounded by spacial atmospheres and this is good summary for this release. Solid one, a “must have” for every dubhead!

Strictly Sound Prodz. feat Jah Screechy (7”)

A_Side_LabelCubículo Records have just released their second work, what glads us – the first 7” that appeared six months ago (http://dubmassive.org/5797/subactive-feat-mikey-murka) was very successful. This time the Portuguese label placed in London offers us conjoined forces of vocalist – a veteran of UK dancehall scene Jah Screechy, known from chatting in Sir Coxsone Sound (and presently supporting Reality Shock) with producer Marco ”Docta Strictly” Musetti. He is connected with Italian soundsystem scene, he’s been busying himself with music for few years, but he started to create it just recently. He uses original 80s equipment to get the proper and warm analogue sound.

Riddim from the new release is typical digital reggae. Prince Jammy himself wouldn’t be ashamed at all, plus Jah Screechy’s vocals makes you want to dance madly. This tune wakes up the spirit of 80/90s UK soundsystems and Strictly Sound crew isn’t anonymous anymore. For some time we see that digital reggae/dub conquers soundsystem halls – i.e. thanks to Mungo’s Hi Fi, Subactive or Dougie Conscious. Although I am not a fan of digital sounds, this production changes my mind a bit, let yourself flow with this digital vibe too.
