Following the critical success of Dub
Colossus second album, "Addis Through
the Looking Glass" (March 2011), and
two fantastic shows at WOMAD Charlton
Park, Dubulah has now made a dub-heavy
album, reworking existing Dub Colossus
album tracks plus four previously
unreleased tracks.
It's a more personal approach for
Dubulah, who turns the dub element in
Ethiopian fusion up to 11 applying
heavy one-drop pressure to hypnotic
effect. (Metro)
The original aim of Dub Colossus was
to combine the golden years of
Ethiopique beats and Ethiojazz with
the dub reggae styles of the early
70's groups like Abyssinians and
Mighty Diamonds. The dub element on
Dub Me Tender, ever-present in the
first two albums, has been pumped up û
giving these tracks a full Dubulah
work over, in the tradition of Joe
Gibbs African Dub series and Dennis
"Blackbeard" Bovell.
Dub Me Tender Volume 1 was released as
a limited edition green vinyl. Volume
2 is scheduled for release later this
year.
Dub Me Tender features the cast of
Addis Through The Looking Glass; the
original Ethiopian musicians are
joined by the reggae singer Mykaell
Riley (Steel Pulse), drummer Nick Van
Gelder (Jamiroquai), the Horns of
Negus brass section, bass work from Dr
Das (Asian Dub Foundation), and double
bass from Bernard O'Neill (Syriana).
Dub Colossus Sound System will be
performing this album live in 2012 in
UK and Europe as a real-time dub
experience, live dubbing tunes with
full FX. The live band will include
The Horns of Negus, Dr Das, Nick Van
Gelder, Ramjac and vocals from Mykaell
S Riley and PJ Higgins.
