LEE Scratch PERRY – file under – The Legend !!!
Robo Bass HiFi –  file under – BASS !!!
Dubblestandart – the Viennese/European coffee house version of Jamaican´s  DUB Syndicate !


ROBO BASS HiFi  lives and breathes a tight combination of jungle, dub,  dubstep – SPACE and irregular POP.  His current electro-reggae drenched in BASS MUSIC  is mighty in all its facets and incessantly feeds the mind of the universe! 

From roots and DUB to dubstep/drumstep through to future jungle, UK-DIGITAL and D'n'B  -  Robo Bass Hifi loves tinkering with sounds and rhythms to create something that not everyone can handle, but which us folks on the Echo Beach love more than anything else: BAAASSS.

His debut “16 Bit Skanks“ on Select Cuts was received by the local press with reviews that ranged from enthusiastic to tepid to non-existent ... here are a few quotes: 

Jazzthetik: ... bowled over my heart, a bass massage is guaranteed, milks modular synthesis to the max...!

Riddim / Dub Blog: ... a hybrid sort of sound, which occupies the mid-field between Major Lazer and jungle, interspersed with breaks (filled with reggae offbeats) ... a high-energy work stuffed to the brim with crazy ideas. If you’re not in a state of ecstasy and are capable of listening consciously to this musical fireworks display, then you’ll be amazed at the endless different layers of sounds in these tracks, which take turns in sitting at the top of the dub mixes. 

Westzeit: ... this is a strong debut by the man whose sister wanted to open a boutique in Wuppertal with the pope!

Coolibri:  ... massive, reduced, echo-y, as dry as dust... – a real keeper!

Markus Kammann aka ROBO BASS HIFI stringently sticks to his path. After submitting remixes to the three musketeers of German pop (SEEED, FETTES BROT, JAN DELAY), all of which were rejected (the murmured rejections from the musketeers ranged from dulcet tones to absolute silence…!) he has now led the reggae legend into the dark room and has shaken things up. David Lynch and Ari Up bring a breath of Jean Michel Jarre pop and captivate the master of the deep, thick bass.
Previously, Dubblestandart recorded the originals on RETURN FROM PLANET DUB with Master Lee Perry  and now ROBO BASS HIFI has taken them to a deeper level...! 
With this exceptionally fine release, ECHO BEACH welcomes the late summer with the warm throb of a deep bass...!

Lee Perry vs. Robo Bass HiFi vs. Dubblestandart - Nu School Of Dub (Album Preview)

Happy Halloween!  On "Black Ark Vampires" Lee "Scratch" Perry & Subatomic Sound System have crafted a throbbing sound-man tune propelled by subsonic bass, bubbling skanks, and pulsing beats that balance the murky and mystical vibes of Perry’s classic Jamaican dub reggae recordings with the flammable energy and bass vibrations of current electronic music, fine tuning a recipe that they have slow cooked throughout their last four years of U.S. tours spreading authentic dub to a new generation in places like Coachella, Dub Champions Festival, and Red Bull Music Academy. Lyrically the track features Perry’s most focused lyrics in a decade, a poignant oath of vengeance against the vampires that corrupted the ark of the covenant and forced him to burn down his famed Black Ark studio, told in comical rhymes that echo the cadence of a Dr. Seuss story coupled with the morbidity of Edgar Allan Poe, promising the details of where, when, and how he will kill these vampires, from Kingston to London to New York City and everywhere; vampires beware; he will kill them with his hair, with fire, with electric wire, and even with roast corn. Melodically the tune packs soaring vampire hooks, spiritual vocal choirs, groaning melodica bursts, and even a few lines from dancehall vocalist Jahdan Blakkamoore, produced and recorded by Emch at his Subatomic Sound laboratory in NYC. Scratch’s vocals were recorded in Brooklyn at the Hook Studio after an NYC performance with the production assistance of On-U Sound’s legendary Adrian Sherwood, producer of some of Perry’s finest post-Jamaica recordings. The session was filmed by a Dubspot video crew after a long drive through NYC during which Perry recounted the better part of his life story as a warm up for the session.

At the age of 78, Lee "Scratch" Perry has built a life based as much on his fame as a reggae and dub inventor who exhibited boundless creativity and innovation in music composition and production, as he has on his reputation as a madman with playful wit, a propensity for lighting things on fire, a natural mystical spirituality that he famously introduced to Bob Marley, and his defiant individuality and commitment to personal freedom. "Black Ark Vampires" brilliantly ties together these divergent characteristics to create classic Lee "Scratch" Perry material on all levels.

Perry loves to dance and loves dancehall. His nickname actually comes from the name of dance he invented called Chicken Scratch. During his tours with Subatomic Sound System, Scratch had a voracious appetite for hearing new sounds and was interested in the "Vampires & Informers" dubstep track Subatomic Sound System had produced for dancehall vocalist Elephant Man. Perry began performing on the riddim live which led to developing the lyrics for Black Ark Vampires and Subatomic developing a riddim for Perry that captured his vibes. Though Perry is known for seldom giving straight answers and many have wondered if he really burned down the Black Ark studio, Emch from Subatomic Sound System says that one night after performing a show in California, he and percussionist Larry McDonald, a Black Ark studio veteran, were talking backstage when Scratch told them the reasons for his own longevity: "Stress will kill you. That’s why I had to burn down the Black Ark." He said the popularity of the studio had attracted the vampires who came to suck him dry and corrupted the magic of Black Ark, but rather than let that slowly destroy him like a cancer, he chose to close the book on that chapter of his life and move on by torching the studio and making an exodus to the UK leaving the vampires with nothing but the ashes.

THE ARTISTS: Grammy winning reggae and dub inventor Lee "Scratch" Perry is a living legend, one of Jamaica’s most prolific producers and a true original with a spirit that has defined and influenced countless artists across genres and generation, decades of great Jamaican artists from Bob Marley to Max Romeo, punk rockers The Clash, The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, The Orb, The Beastie Boys, Paul McCartney, Kode9, and the list goes on. At 78 he continues to tour, record, and paint incessantly.

Spearhead by producer, DJ, and instrumentalist Emch, NYC’s Subatomic Sound System is leading a dub music renaissance, founders of the US & Europe Dub Champions Festival, 4 years acting as the live band for legend Lee "Scratch" Perry on tours including Coachella & Red Bull Music Academy; plus independently touring North America, Europe, and Asia, and for a decade producing flavors ranging from classic dub to dubstep.

Mad Professor meets Prince Fatty - Devil Dub feat. Winston Francis [Evergreen Recordings 2015]

In October 2014, Lincoln Valentine Style Scott was murdered in his house in Manchester, Jamaica. He was 58 years old. At that tim he had just finished his work on “Hard Food”, the first album released by his Dub Syndicate since “No Bed of Roses” in 2004. Dub Syndicate’s first studio album for eleven years, an event that was to be a joyous celebration with friends, has now become Style Scott’s legacy.

NOW, exactly one year after his death – the new dub scene of Europe will tribute to this legendary drummer. The trademarking song “DUB IS ALL I GOT” will appear in 14 different version and excursion as a kind of REMIX Clash. A fascinating and splending bass experience and in the very sensitive way the remixers and admirers paid tribute for is more than excellent…!

With Style Scott the reggae world, and indeed the entire world, has lost one of its best drummers. His unexpected, tragic death is devastating for his friends and family, to whom we express our deepest sympathy. At the same time, Style’s music – both sounds and lyrics – reveal that his life was rich in warmth and harmony. His death has made our lives poorer.

DEDICATED TO LINCOLN VALENTINE SCOTT.
