A Stars Tale

Movie 43

Dreamcatcher

Our 29th release is the ZamZam Sounds debut of a fast-rising talent, the one Danny Scrilla, born Danny Pirkl.  Now residing in Munich after time in Berlin and London, Scrilla has carved a path through multiple labels including Civil Music, Rudimentary Records and several releases on Om Unit’s mighty Cosmic Bridge imprint.  It is these latter tunes that have brought him to prominence, and it was Om Unit himself that made the connection between Scrilla and ZamZam, a brilliant bit of A&R that we are very grateful for.  His sound avoids easy categorization - it is deeply rooted in traditional dubwise, while seeming to pull in rhythmic, textural and melodic inspiration from a futuristic revisioning of jungle, footwork and house.

"Higher Plane” opens with a gorgeous flute melody, pattering percussion, a test tone and a maternal bassline all floating in etheric bliss, woven through with gently decaying delays.  Almost imperceptibly other elements are pulled into the pulse’s gravity-well until the full riddim finally emerges, a restrained yet addictive 150 bpm rockers for sound systems on course to meet the rising sun. 

“Maroon" is a highly original silky steppers powered by rubbery sub and cyborg saxophone riffs with Scrilla’s signature woozy, detuned delay trails and synaesthetic holograms.  Alternating between half time and 4/4 propulsion, this subtle powerhouse of a tune has been championed on dubplate from DJs as varied as Rodigan and Toddla T.

Released the last week of August 2015.  Limited to 800 copies.  No digital. No repress.  Design & screen print by Polygon Press.

The Christchurch based producer has gone from strength to strength, his unique take on dubstep has had him labelled as one of the rising stars in the genre. Akcept continues to defy genre boundaries and push his sound, drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical influences such as,  Hip-Hop, African rhythms and deep dub styles. After a string of releases at 140 bpm on some of the world’s leading dubstep labels (Amar, Artikal, Moonshine Recordings, Sentry), Akcept pushes the boundaries further still with two hypnotic rollers demonstrating his love for minimal dub techno and ambient styles. 

A sort after dub, ‘Teachings’ is now getting the full heavyweight 12" treatment. A mesmerising dub odyssey with distant stabs create an emotive atmosphere as His signature heavy bass notes roll in followed by a 'steppas like' riddim to lock you in the groove. Subtle dubbing, dynamic use of space, and the introduction of an alternate skank will have you in deep meditation before the drums come back in with more energy and an astute bass line.

On the flip ‘Going Around In Circles’. A thumping kick drum and groovy baseline accompanied by a classic 4/4 beat and a poignant vocal sample, blur the lines between house, techno and dub music.
‘True Rights, True Love, True Justice'

DUBCOM026D - @Frenk-dublin - Me See Fire EP. Out now on @Dub-communication. https://www.junodownload.com/products/frenk-dublin-me-see-fire-ep/4382311-02/

Review by Juno: ''Dub Communication are a label we feel should be celebrated as we move into a brand new decade, with their original dubwise roots proving more relevant than ever in a crowded electronic market place. They here employ the vibrant sounds of Frenk Dublin, who kicks us off with the constantly evolving composition of 'On Di Riddim' before we dive into 'Corruption', a softer, more free-flowing reggae arrangement. Next, it's time to throw on your marching boots as the potent rhythms and engaging chord progressions of the title track 'Me See Fire' lead us forward, before finishing up with the system-ready sub rolls of 'Plastik Dub'. What a way to finish off the year!"
