Full Up Riddim

Conrad & Michael Cruise handle all the composing, arranging and instrumentation between them but judicious use of different vocalists give the vocal numbers a completely different feel; compare 'Girl I Need Your Lover' in vocal style featuring Ricky Smith on vocals to Here We Come Again' sung by Clifford Hughes.

Girl I Need Your Love

DX1 - Girl I Need Your Love

DX1 might sound like one person, but they’re actually a duo composed of Leeds based brothers Michael and Conrad Cruise. The two have put together a collection here of material underpinned by the unmistakable reggae beat covering a variety of different moods, styles and subject matters using the latest in music making equipment to enable just two musicians to create a varied sound tapestry.

Along with championing established and newer reggae, roots and related acts through his work as a producer and owner of record label Cruise International, Micheal composes, arranges and handles percussion and drum programming duties for DX1. Conrad - along with composing, arranging and handling some drum programming - plays keyboards, guitar and bass.

The use of modern music making hardware, far from diluting the effect of the unmistakable reggae and roots back beat, can actually enhance it as is the case in this collection. The brothers carefully use the various techniques at their disposal and, on the sung tracks, a specific vocal sound from one of their roster of guest vocalists helps create music to suit various moods.

Waiting In  Dub

AUX-1 DubSystem was originally formed in Austin, TX in the spring of 2010. It began as a collaboration between two musician/producers: Travis Wilson and "Captain" Kurt Eickelberg. The concept was to take the little known and somewhat mysterious studio techniques of the great Jamaican Dub-Reggae engineers like, King Tubby, Scientist and Prince Jammy and reveal them to a live audience using much of the same techniques and equipment, such as, spring reverb, and magnetic-tape delay that their predecessors used.
 As always in authentic dub, the mixing board becomes an instrument in itself. All of our Dubs are recorded live with no automation. Many of the tracks also feature other instrument and vocal parts provided by musicians we have worked with all over the country and the world.
