the hardest working reggae band in southern england. dubheart is on a mission to spread messages of peace. love. unity and resistance through a heady stew of contemporary roots reggae. delivered on live instruments with a hefty dose of dub in the mix. cool under pressure. their latest offering. is the band’s most compelling set to date. a ‘showcase’-style album where every vocal track is followed by its dub counterpart. and the vital contribution of the brassica horns—from rising london ska band chainska brassica—is another intriguing element that makes this album tougher than the rest.

the remarkable thing about belp s new album is its two-dimensional function. it works both on a loud and a quiet volume. some tracks would go down well as a club track. like opener travelling thru galaxies . this track brings back memories of the best work released on the hyperdub label. with it s fine combination of synths and irresistible. dubby beats. elsewhere. off ending might start off as dancehall-but-not-quite dancehall track but when half way the synths kick in they change the feeling of the track to a more cerebral level.
