Dub Club Presents - Bubble Dub LP (STONES THROW)

Written By 1 - July 27 2013

Volume 2 of Dub Club's Foundation Come Again dub records - 10 tracks "mixed in a dubwise fashion", pressed on single vinyl at Capsule Labs here in Los Angeles, covered in one-of-a-kind, hand-printed sleeve.

Available Here

Dubbed straight to tape by Dub Club's Tom Chasteen, then cut to vinyl at Capsule Labs in Los Angeles, these records come with one-of-a-kind covers hand screened by Hit+Run with artwork by Gustavo Eandi. Vol. 2. LIMITED EDITION.

Bubble Dub was mixed live to tape in one take by Chasteen.  The dubs were made the classic way, improvising in the moment, twisting knobs, pushing faders, reshaping a song with echo, reverb, space and time. Chasteen says, “Dub is not just a contest to create the heaviest ever bassline, but a subtle carving away at a piece of music. The dubs on this record also keep one foot in the dancehall, where dub where was born and raised." 

The disc features artwork by Gustavo Eandi, with art direction by Jeff Jank. Each sleeve was hand-printed by Hit+Run in East L.A., using a set of different screens and ink, resulting in one-of-a-kind sleeves. 

These are dub tracks from the forthcoming album "Dub Club: Foundation Come Again"

1. Gimmie Dub 2. Bring The Dub Again 3. Mystic Dub 4. Black Shadow Dub 5. Covenant In Dub 6. Every Dub Is A Star 7. Ain’t Too Proud To Dub 8. Music Music Dub 9. Hard Time Dub 10. Rootsman Party

UPCOMING: Theo Parrish - Black Jazz Signature (BLACK JAZZ)

Written By 1 - July 27 2013

Due out August 2013 on CD & 2LP, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

Detroit – Chicago – Berlin. Two out of three of those cities call Theo Parrish their own. Arguably one of the world’s most important underground dance music producer/DJs lends his hands to selecting and mixing a set of jazz and funk records licensed from and originally released on the Black Jazz label 1971-1976. World renowned for his DJ sets, productions, and record label (Sound Signature), this Chicagoraised DJ is near impossible to pigeonhole. Revered by a wide spectrum of dedicated music fanatics, he is known for his edits of artists such as Minnie Ripperton, Roger Troutman, Nightlife Unlimited, as well as his otherworldly DJ sets, and his serious approach to DJ’ing as an art form. Theo gives special attention to fellow Chicago musicians The Awakening (3 consecutive tracks, 4 total on the mix), one of the best funk/fusion groups that the Black Jazz label released, and whose only output was on that label. The set itself is a masterful “2 turntables all vinyl” execution, a format that Theo is dedicated to – no mp3, no CDr, just the vinyl palette for the true aural experience. Sit back and be drawn into his world, hear things his way.

Tracklist: 1. Doug Carn – Trance Dance 2. Gene Russell – My Favorite Things 3. The Awakening – March On 4. The Awakening - Convulsions 5. The Awakening - Jupiter 6. Calvin Keys – Criss Cross 7. Rudolph Johnson – The Highest Pleasure 8. Walter Bishop Jr. – Those Who Chant 9. The Awakening - Mirage 10. Calvin Keys – B.E. 11. Rudolph Johnson – Time and Space 12. Walter Bishop Jr. – Blue Bossa
