Artist: Deep Fried Dub
Title:
Re-Fried III
Label:
Dubmission Records
Released:
Friday 3rd April
The third instalment
in the series from New Zealand’s Deep Fried Dub is an all Kiwi
affair. With the guys re-mixing five of their contemporaries in dub.
As NZ has been a hotbed for Reggae releases for some time you can
probably guess some of the appearances already.
First up is their
take on ‘Back to my roots’ by Issac Chambers and Dub Princess a
natural choice after their multi-millon streaming success with
‘Kryptology’. Now I’m not familiar with the original but this
has two major ingredients I’d hope to find with reggae ... a good
vocal and speaker shaking bass. Next on the list is ‘It’s the
future knocking’ by Pitch Black which begins in their electro-dub
fashion, but the style is switched along route into drum and bass.
They then tackle
‘Women will rule the world’ by International Observer which
carries the vocal snippets and horns along nicely with an infectious
groove. While ‘Dub Cell’ by Subset gets dragged back to the 80’s
with arcade style fx and robotic vocoder vocals. Then to see us out
they take on one of New Zealand’s biggest bands with ‘Everybody
Knows’ by the Black Seeds giving the piece a dubbed out house
twist.
To summarise quite
simply a job well done! I liked every track on the album, whether I
knew the original or not.
