Dub Asylum Drops Ba Ba Boom 45 - Out Now

Written By 3 - December 03 2009

Available here now from Conch

Following on from last year's popular "Ba Ba Boom!"EP, Dub Asylum serve up the title track on lovely black vinyl, with an exclusive new remix of Ba Ba Boom from local dubstep DJ/producer Oogun (host of the Drunk Elephant Sound System radio show on BaseFM).

Ba Ba Boom proved to be a standout track among DJs on the EP, so here's the much-requested vinyl version, just in time for summer. The bouncy ska-infused number is aided by the sweet stylings of the WBC horn section (Olly, Oliver and Matiu), and reggae samples ripped up at the turntable by Scratch 22. On the flip, Oogun goes to town with remix duties, throwing down some afrobeat/dubstep madness with serious sub-bass business.

Out December 7 - vinyl only - in selected record stores -with some exclusive pre-release copies in at Conch this Friday, 4th of December.

The Ba Ba Boom Release party is at Conch Sunday Grill, Ponsonby Social Club, from 5pm, Sunday December 13

New 45: Elder William Smith / All Nations Quartet - His Voice / He Spoke 7"

Written By 3 - October 10 2009

Elder William Smith / All Nations Quartet - His Voice / He Spoke 7"

Check it here

The 45 was absolutely conceived as a homage to late 60s/early 70s raw, lo-fi gospel funk 45s, any distortion/crackliness is totally intended.  Imagine it like it was recorded live in a church somewhere back in the old days.  It's a mix of samples & live instruments edited into the final product. Super limited edition of 200 hand numbered copies.   Mastered & cut at Timmion in Finland by Jukka Sarapaa (Soul Investigators).  This 45 was written, recorded & arranged by local music teacher, guitarist & funk/soul 45 collector/DJ/addict Kris Holmes, who has spun records in the UK, France, USA & Australia over the last 10+ years (& occasionally in NZ too). Fresh back from playing a couple of gigs in Melbourne, this is his first vinyl release.
