Hello,
Forty years after their invention, dub techniques continue to shape some of the finest music out there, electronic and otherwise. Using the mixer as an instrument in more ways than one, Deadbeat sums up 15 years of electronic dub in his amazing 'Radio Rothko' mix. Current variations on the theme come from Chain Reaction man Fuxion, French dubstepper F, and London's Breakage, each of them with a new album out this week. As a tribute to the pioneers of endless echoes and filter sweeps we have further thrown in a few eternal dub classics for good measure.

Recorded at the turn of the 70s, 'Dance Hall Style' is a landmark release in Horace Andy's career. Including classics like 'Spying Glass', which was later covered by Massive Attack, reworks of Bunny Lee songs and his take on the mighty Cuss Cuss riddim this album begs to be played over and over again.
