“Dub on the Track” appears on Cher Lloyd’s debut album, Sticks + Stones. Though not released as an official single, a music video was shot for the song.

The song is a dedication to the UK dubstep scene and throughout this track, the artists show their appreciation to dubstep with its heavy, aggressive bassline.

Bluetoof presents Diversion takeover with Dome Zero & Rex Domino - 25 October 2023

For the past few years we’ve been mesmerized by Elijah Minnelli’s output on his own Breadminster County Council label… a handful of hand-crafted 7”s that live at the foggy intersection of dub, outsider folk, and various strands of Eastern European and South/Central American musics. In hindsight it seems inevitable that he would join the ZamZam family. 

Firmly rooted in dub through its mammoth bassline, ‘Gradually’ is a shaggy, unhurried tune framed by melancholy, almost grieving squeezebox and gorgeous ensemble percussion that reverently recalls early cumbias. The tune is unique for Elijah in that it features fully-sung vocals. Themes of loss, despair, tragedy and coping circle and loop, ironically held in a musical matrix that spirals in deliberate repetition. 

In ‘Gradually Verzion’ the introduction of a minimal melodic figure and long echo trails signal a dramatic shift, going full dubwise steppers without compromising its warm center.  Elijah holds back the wheezy melody, deftly forwarding the percussion in time-honored echo chamber mode.

Lurched Purple (ii)

ZamZam 94 is a long-awaited plate from South London duo Traces, fresh from a pair of releases last year on Innamind. Laser-focused on a stripped-down, essentialist strain of UK bass music, Traces’ ZamZam outing showcases two distinct facets of their approach.

“No One (Can Tell I)” is a perfect slice of eyes-down spiritual dubstep for the ages, a vibe we always crave here at ZamZam. Waterhouse-flavored rusty hi-hats, reverb thick like smoke, expertly-crafted bassweight, subtly ricocheting percussion, perfectly minimal stabs, and a sampled spirit of Jamaica Past… Utterly timeless, “No One” is a masterclass in restraint and depth over flash and slickness.   

Equally direct and unfussy, “Listen” flips the vibe utterly, running off a winking slice of badman soundtape, shakers and siren, earworming midrange melody, and a mirror-image bassline with more swagger per bar than anyone in a 140 session will be able to resist. Battle-tested on dubplate & ready for early, late, or anywhere in between, “Listen” is a guaranteed sheller.
