ODGprod a le plaisir aujourd’hui d’accueillir une toute nouvelle formation au sein du netlabel. Après avoir découvert le Dub à la sauce berruyère avec des artistes comme Dawa Hifi ou encore U.Stone, il s’agit de faire place à MDC qui nous offre son premier Ep nommé « Conception« .

Massive Dub Corporation se compose de quatre activistes multi-instrumentistes réunis autours d’une idée commune ; explorer le dub et ses frontières (si tant est qu’il y en ait). Ce jeune groupe né à Bourges début 2010 a su dès ses débuts marier à la fois la scène et le studio, navigant habilement de la MAO à la musique instrumentale. C’est ce juste équilibre que l’on ressent immédiatement à l’écoute des cinq tracks, rythmiques synthétiques et phrasés acoustiques s’accordent à merveille. Chaque morceau est abordé d’une manière différente, on passera ainsi au travers de divers ambiances ; du « french dub » électrique aux choses plus roots, ou encore orienté stepper et dédié aux soundsystems. MDC s’offre également deux combinaisons royales pour son premier Ep puisque l’on peut retrouver le fameux MC Brother Culture (sur Ninja Assassin) ainsi que le duo de chanteurs parisiens Fu-Steps (sur Babylon Soldiers). « Conception » célèbre un dub riche, aux multiples facettes, qui annonce déjà MDC comme étant un groupe à suivre de près.

Subatomic Sound System & Lee Scratch Perry U.S. Sept 19-22

First time Ari Up of the Slits and Lee Scratch Perry appear on record together!   These tracks bring together two eccentric legends doing what they do best on some of Scratch's classic 70s dub vibes that Subatomic Sound System pushes into the future rootical dubstep realm.  Hearing these two together, Lee Perry, originator of dub from a time before there was dubstep, and Ari Up of the Slits, leader of the first all female punk band and originator of punky reggae, from before there was a Santogold or MIA, makes you realize how it all started.

The “Hello, Hell Is Very Low” vinyl 45 features a dub and vocal take of a rootical dubstep reflip of the rare and classic “Underground Roots” riddim, known to have been used by Studio One’s Sir Coxsone Dodd’s sound system to lay waste in Jamaican sound clashes (typically played back to back with the only known vocal version, a closely guarded special rumored to have been done for Coxsone by Junior Byles). On this 45, Subatomic Sound System dubs the riddim up proper with maximum respect to the tradition of the masters, Lee Perry &amp; King Tubby, while also turning out the low end, delivering drums and bass big and bad enough knock out even a modern day dubstep club crowd. It also must be mentioned that, this is the first time EVER that Lee “Scratch” Perry and Ari Up of the Slits appear on the same recording, even though they both worked extensively on On-Sound projects with Adrian Sherwood during the 80s. The combination proves strong as they both succeed in striking a clever lyrical balance, delivering vocals that juxtapose conscious culture and spirituality with humor and wordplay.

On the A-Side, “Hello, Hello, Hell is Very Low” features tough lyrics from Lee “Scratch” Perry alongside Ari Up of the Slits and original melodica from Subatomic Sound’s Emch that summons the ghost of Augustus Pablo for some classic melodies. The dubbed out track is centered around Perry riffing on the line “Hello, Hell is very low and Heaven is very, very high!” linguistically playing off the greetings “Hello” vs. “Hi” and with the metaphysical concept of “Hell” being “lo(w)” and “Heaven” being “(hi)igh” in what is on one hand slapstick humor and on the other hand profound moral philosophizing. Ari Up meanwhile shows her respect for dub history and the people of her second home, Jamaica, with lyrics “Underground roots, what we bring to you, rub-a-dub roots, message to the youth…time to know the truth!” exorting the “underground youth” to rise up “overground” while at the same time sending a message to the dubstep generation about the origins of dub and respecting its founders.

On the B-Side, Ari-Up of the Slits delivers “Bed Athletes” a singjay vocal tune in a classic dancehall style. Lyrically she twists the original children’s song melody into a positive minded and humorous sex education course for the “underground youth”, with a verse for the men and another for the women, emphasizing the importance of physical fitness and mental training for mutual enjoyment of each others company in bed, even suggesting that men “learn Ninjitsu” so the art of “Japanese fighting” can be “used ‘pon daggering”.
