Artist: Dr Trippy
Title:
All Cows Eat Grass
Label:
Disco Gecko Records
Released:
22nd November
Dr
Trippy releases another five tracks of his unique mash up of bhangra,
dub reggae and breaks that he calls Punjabi Swamp. On this occasion
he strays even further incorporating elements of progressive chill,
balkan beats, Russian rapping and Industrial percussion.
The
intro to the opening track ‘Kali Hari’ sounds like an early
voyage into experimental electronics. However, it doesn’t take
long before a dose of eastern flavoured synth is prescribed,
alongside gated vocal fx and raggamuffin verses. Whilst the intro to
‘Delysid Dub’ sounds more progressive those familiar reggae keys
soon ascend and there’s plenty of dancehall vocal snippets and dub
fx peppered throughout.
The
reggae vocal sample kicks off ‘Willow’ he then throws in the
Indian female vocal amidst a shufflin ska rhythm, horns and
eastern flavoured passages. This is followed by ‘Ragga Reel’
where I found myself drawn to the concoction of acid, reggae, Balkan
volin and Indian vocal snippets. Last but not least is ‘Swamp Life’
where the intro is more elongated and dark. However, it eventually
leads to bamboo flutes, a touch more acid and those expected vocal
snippets.
