Sardinia Bass Legalize :: Timeless

Netlabel aquietbump pulls out 4 new tracks from King Kietu and Sensitive Dub, aka Sardinia Bass Legalize. The EP is in their usual intense dub style, but there’s some fresh flavour with the collaboration of Senegal singer Vibesbrain. As you can hear below in the Timeless Version.

Another very fine release and a free download from aquietbump.

Talking machines from Italy

Macchine Parlante is the new release of Italian digital dub duo Jambassa. It’s the fruit of recent collaborations between them (Papa Lele and Gamino de Jambassa) and seven excellent vocalists.

There’s for instance Ltd Candy, which some of you might know from the Jahtari label. With her voluptuous voice she breaks the silence on “Like Silence”. There’s also Giulio Frausin, aka The Sleeping Tree, who takes “Dreada Dan Dread” on higher rasta levels; or Rankin’ Alpha with some militant spoken word on “The Unpresent Spirit”. You also get Camila Monasterio, voice of Spanish dubcombo Hotdrop, on “Unravel” and Ranking Forrest on “Want Rub A Dub”.

These vocalists help make Macchine Parlante one of the best dub releases we’ve heard this year. Papa Lele and Gamino let their sound drift on a warm digital groove, reminding us of the times Rhythm & Sound were still active. Macchine Parlante is rootsy but contemporary, combining hypnotising riddims with urban poetry.
