VIBRONICS - SAFE IN THE DUB/STRIVE

VIBRONICS - SAFE IN THE DUB/STRIVE VERSION
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW

WWW, July 2011 (From the Archives) - The specific sound of Vibronics lands very well into the ears of the lover of the better UK DUB. This will not be different with the two free tracks reviewed on this page. "Safe in The Dub" and "Strive Version" are truly some gems for the heart and soul.

"Safe In The Dub" is an up-tempo steppers rhythm with a monotonous bassline, sweeping synthesizers, flanged skanks and a couple of melodic lines here and there. Instruments are very well dropped in and out during the mix, the drum and bass keep everything flowing: this is the works of a Heavyweight DUB Champion and so it is.

"Strive Version" opens up with some crucial singing in sound and lyrical content, then everything turns into a huge echo, the bass and the drum drop in and we know we're into yet another riddim by the mighty Vibronics who seem to can do no wrong when it comes to musical productions. Skillfulness galore!

WWW, July 2011 (From The Archives) - Victor Rice takes several Drum Sessions recorded in Brooklyn and takes them straight to Brazil, where he continues working on what was to become a track for his album "In America". Crucial DUB, solid Rub a Dub style drum and bass where the riddim section refers to Roots Rockers. The melodica, dropping in and out during the mix, adds on top of that.

WWW, July 2011 (From The Archives) - The title would not directly hint towards it, but this 5:18 long DUB has a drum partially based on the Nyabinghy rhythm. The bass pumps, organs and guitars play riddim and undecipherable vocals soaked in effects make sure we feel Ire from the top to the very last drop.
