Baroque Dub was one of the projects, that encouraged me to start an own podcast. 44 mixtapes, 16 digital 7" and 12" single releases, a web radiostation, samples and midi riddims spoke for them selves (btw: all releases can be downloaded for free here or here).
Starting with "reggae tinged electronica with one foot in the chillout lounge and one foot on the dance floor", the second track features Sure Dread as well as the veteran Barry Brown. "Cuss Cuss" and Jackie Mittoo´s "Drum Song" are digital reworks of the classic riddims, of course. The next two tunes are moving in a little bit darker electro-reggae/dubstep direction. With "Every Tongue Shall Tell" the mixtape turned back to dub reggae, "Artibella Dub" is an organ driven version of the Ken Boothe hit song. From "the soundtrack to an imaginary film detailing the exploits of a young man's struggle through the trials of ghetto life" recorded using an AtariST, an E64 sampler and a Mackie mixer "King Sequence" is a sample loaded masterpiece from 1999 (!). "Ghetto People Song" is a LalaBella riddim, originaly voiced by Everton Blender. Southside Dub: "A slinky anthem for more leftfield dancefloors." Ini Kamoze's "Burnin'" comes in a slow and heavy dub version, "Valley of Dub" appears in two droning versions. The set is finished with a "slow burning fat slice of electro dub" called "Lollipop Dub" . Booom!!
So, here´s the playlist:
