Digikal Roots new EP ‘Dub Master’
UKRG (United Kingdom Reggae Guide) recently joined the underground label arena and they present this first official release on their UKRG label an EP entitled ‘Dub Master’ from uprising dub artist Digikal Roots. DR has released 2 free albums during the past year or so ‘Let There Be Version’ and ‘Echo Dust’ to high acclaim, reviews and radio play outa national style indeed ‘Let There Be Version’ was spun in the SpringlineJamaica office every day for a week during it’s initial pre release with cry’s of ‘this could be an old Randy’s record’ from yours truly who after a whole week of saturation hoggin the mp3 radiogram was permanently banned by SJ exec producer iTal sKarl from going anywhere near it again!
DR’s 4 track EP features “Bud Rot Dub” straight away one feels a full on Stranglers meets The Clash studio jam produced by Mikey Dread sounding vibe, a rolling pounding skanker featuring DR’s trademark ultra clean guitar work and delay tactics, a raw energetic tune complete with a warm Hammond style organ inna pop a top mode.
“Wise Dub”; Now this is what I like about Digikal Roots music, wonderful use of horns against some really cool dub composition work, the bass line on this track is as powerful as it can go, the riddim track has a density irresistible to the headphones with some DR trademark reverb clarity on the mix, again a full on dub attack with impact label version sides coming to mind. “Obeah Step Dub” a steppers delight, one for the soundsystems and deejays a killer not a filler featuring ultra space echo style mixing effects with the riddim coming in and out of the mix and as always with DR’s trusty guitar skank a chanks. “Babylon Nah Hold I” featuring a top ranking riddim stomper drum track and heavy layering of the horns in warmth contrast to the ‘diginess’ of this tune’s overall sound, here’s an artist who composes music the traditional way ,who takes time to experryment with clean high end mixing quality ,fusing true digi dub with –and as his name implies- Roots sentiments adding a certain warmth and clarity from time that is so often rare to hear with today’s dub offerings. Music for Soundsystems, music for deejays & singers, music to just simply listen to.
