| | Ticklah vs. Axelrod is an epic soundclash between two sides of a | |
| | musical personality: the studio wizardry and dub experimentation | |
| | of Ticklah, versus the keyboard prowess and genre restlessness of | |
| | Victor Axelrod. In this case, the battle rages in the head of one | |
| | person. Ticklah and Victor Axelrod are one and the same and | |
| | Ticklah vs. Axelrod is Ticklah's third full-length solo album. So | |
| | who exactly is this young fellow who had a huge impact on a | |
| | number of critically acclaimed groups and records in the past | |
| | decade? He is a founding member of the Easy Star All-Stars, | |
| | (remember Dub Side Of The Moon and Radiodread?) and has played | |
| | keys with Antibalas since 1999, co-writing and co-producing much | |
| | of that celebrated Afrobeat band's output. He collaborated on hit | |
| | remixes with DJ Spinna and was an original member of Sharon Jones | |
| | & The Dap-Kings. He has appeared on a number of Mark Ronson | |
| | productions, including tracks with Robbie Williams, Lily Allen | |
| | and Amy Winehouse. In the midst of all of these projects, he kept | |
| | coming back to his personal labor of love, finishing the tracks | |
| | that became this record. | |
| | | |
| | Ticklah plays multiple instruments on Ticklah vs. Axelrod, in | |
| | addition to collaborating with members of Antibalas, the Easy | |
| | Star All-Stars, the Victor Rice Octet, and Dub Is A Weapon. The | |
| | production is heavy on dub effects and experimentation, | |
| | especially on the instrumentals "Two Face" and "Descent." He also | |
| | calls on a number of friends to add vocals, including reggae | |
| | stars Mikey General and Rob Symeonn, Vinia Mojica, Tamar-Kali and | |
| | Mayra Vega (who sang on Antibalas' "Che Che Cole"). Two | |
| | highlights are reggae re-interpretations of Eddie Palmieri salsa | |
| | classics: The ultra-catchy "Mi Sonsito" and the sultry "Si Hecho | |
| | Palante." The album is a hip dub chill-out record that defies | |
| | expectations at every turn. It is the epitome of the Brooklyn dub | |
| | underground, a scene that has quietly influenced reggae, | |
| | electronica and even pop music for the past decade. It is no | |
| | wonder then that Ticklah proves again that heÆs a consummate | |
| | artist and here to stay for the long haul. | |
