OBSERVATIONS & RESEARCH
-------------------------------------------
*James Hardway-Moors + Christians-Hydrogen Dukebox*
If you're familiar with James Hardway's drum n' bass work, this LP
might catch you by surprise. Hardway brings together Cuban studio
musicians with Jamaican vocalists, fusing the island sounds with the
lessons learned of his soulful drum and bass productions. The result
is such a natural combination that you stop trying to figure out how
it came to be, and just revel in the voices, undulating bass and
dense percussion. File under jamaifro-cuban dubwise electronic soul.
*Hi Fidelity Dub presents Roots Combination-Guidance*
NYC producer Victor Axelrod brings together a collective of musicians
for a roots-minded dub LP to rock the sound systems. Referencing
Augustus Pablo, Scientist and all the rest of the dub masters (Perry,
Tubby and Mad Professor included), Axelrod manages to create
authentic yet original cuts, gaining a punch from contemporary
technology.
"Wicked a Go Dub it", will show you why and how.
