Following another celebrated run of global touring, the Easy Star All-
Stars are geared up to release Dubber Side of the Moon on October 26.
Inspired by the burgeoning dub step scene and dub visionaries such as
On-U SoundÆs Adrian Sherwood and Mad Professor, the Easy Star All-Stars
have compiled the ultimate remix collection of their much lauded reggae
smash Dub Side of The Moon. Each track features a unique dub producer
exploring spaced-out reggae and bass-heavy remixes of the original Dub
Side of the Moon û a reggae tribute to Pink FloydÆs iconic Dark Side of
the Moon. Dubber Side also includes 4 bonus remixes (as well as 2
additional bonus tracks exclusive to the iTunes release).
Originally released in 2003, Dub Side of the Moon was followed by
Radiodread (2006) and Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band (2009),
establishing Easy Star All-Stars as one of the top international reggae
acts of the last decade. The band has amassed over 300,000 album sales
and is equally successful in live appearances, playing over 125 shows in
25 countries on 6 different continents in 2009 alone.
In fact, the idea of reinterpreting Dub Side spawned from the bandÆs
intense touring schedule. They were continually being exposed to new dub
and reggae offshoots around the world. ôWe really wanted to evolve these
songs and put them in the hands of producers who might take it in new
directions,ö explains Easy Star RecordsÆ Lem Oppenheimer. ôIt seemed
like a good way to bring some of this newly developing futurist reggae
right into our own music.ö It was essential to find a balance between
the classic dub masters and the new generation of bass-line enthusiasts,
while also managing to express the bandÆs musical outlook and
development.
Mad Professor had previously worked on the Radiodread album and was an
obvious choice, as were John Peel favorites Dreadzone and Adrian
Sherwood, both of whom fit into what Easy Star Records likes to call the
ædub master vibe.Æ Mad ProfessorÆs mix is typically off the wall, whilst
Adrian Sherwood manages to create a wall of sound through his adventures
in space echo. The All-StarsÆ resident soundman The AlchemistÆs
interpretation of æMoneyÆ is a bass bleeder from the start and is
probably the track that fits easiest into the dub step category, but
KalbataÆs might be the most innovative mix on the album. Israeli born
and signed to Soul Jazz Records, his mix merges the tech sound into dub
-step. BostonÆs mysterious 10 Ft Ganja Plant and CanadaÆs Juno-Award
Winning Dubmatix both provide roots heavy remixes to the album
