Tuesday Apr 14, 2020
One of the projects, that can never fail: Pressure Drop (aka the Blood Brothers: Justin Langlands and Dave Henley).

They did DJ sets, did remixes for other artists and were remixed themselves, their tunes work on headphones or livingroom stereo equipments as well as on radioshows or sound systems. Always serious, sometimes a little bit dark and melancholic, everytime very intelligent, groovy music.

You may Sit & Wonder (but we call it Dub!) Vol.2 [1979 - 2015]
Tuesday Oct 22, 2019
Tuesday Oct 22, 2019
Still sitting and wondering? Right, so here´s the second part. Starting with the Dub version of the underground hit "Blue Eye Boy" by the sound pioneers of Renegade Soundwave. I saw them live first time at the Berlin Atonal 5 in March 1990, it was ground breaking!
Raw Stylus were part of the Acid Jazz movement and presents here their remix of the Bill Withers tune „Use me“.
The Senior Allstars from Germany play the instrumental version of the Tamlins´ „Baltimore“, Sly & Robbie did two different dub versions of it, too. The orginal song was sang by Randy Newman and of course by: Nina Simone.
Again a Senoir Allstars version, the Chosen Brothers´ „Mango Walk“, again a reggae classic, this time originated by the In-Crowd. The Bullwackie Dubwise Version was re-released by the Berlin Rhytm & Sound Crew in 1998.
Peikko & Lassi´s „Pula Dub“ seems to be a One-Hit-Wonder from Finland, the 12" was produced by Jimi Tenor.
And at last: a UB40 tune, named after a 1964 British science fiction film. Special to the movie is the use of silence to create a chilling athmosphere.
So, here´s the playlist:
- Renegade Soundwave (1990) - Black Eye Boy 00:00:00
- Raw Stylus (1993) - Use Me (Remix) 00:06:52
- The Senior Allstars (2015) – Baltimore 00:11:47
