“As a person who hears, feels, breathes, dreams reggae all day, and one who lives with one foot ina Holland an’ di nex’ one ina Jamdong, I am always very eager to get acquainted with new crossovers between the two. How have musical seeds that blew over from that mystic, conscious Caribbean island germinated in the soils of overly-regulated, harsh Europe? Surprisingly, they seem to do so very well indeed!
The latest European take on Jamaican music, @DJ_RichEars’ dubology mix, ‘ Bass Culture At the Gates of Babylon’ is refreshing mostly becah ‘im know ‘im classical reggae fi real, man! Pablo, Tubby, Mundell and Andy, to name but a few. Then, all of a sudden, in pops Mad Prof, the Maltese Falcon Manwel T., or sound system warrior Nick Manasseh. All this covered in a discreet but unmistakably European sauce: rich, smooth, with maybe a hint of musical mustard in the distance…
Fuljoy the dubology01mix on a long and nightly road trip, during a solitary walk in the woods, whilst cooking, or indeed when y’a hug up you Love ina full moon light… It’ll hit home again and again… and again!”
