They hung thick and ominous overhead, casting strange shapes and shadows upon the empty fields and plains which lay beneath. The barley could be seen blowing in the warmth of the summer breeze but it was a muggy, humid kind of heat. The kind which stuck to you and held on tight.

Heavy clouds often meant that the end was nigh, that summer was on its way out and soon the rain would fall and leave this land green and wondrous. Everything would be afloat once again, an aquatic paradise in which the wild things grew and the people danced.

For now, they simply watched as they passed overhead, moving ever more slowly, weighed down by world within them.

Pure Space are set to release a new EP from Command D. This record is titled 'New Devices' and features a collection of dubbed out ambient tones, amidst loosely dotted sporadic percussion in the ilk of Basic Channel or Deepchord etc.

PREMIERE: Command D - Heavy Clouds [Pure Space]

Dub Raw /dʌb rɔː/ — crew, community and a label from South Russia

We cultivate soundsystem culture since 2011. We bring the idea and the heritage of soundsystem music through different tempos, genres and areas. From roots reggae to the front edges of bass music with a dub inna di heart. From dances in clubs, venues and abandoned factories to the famous Dub Raw camp, which annually gathers prominent representatives of the Russian independent bass scene and bass lovers from all over the country. We see our mission in representing our scene to the world and in sharing our passion for music. In the name of love, unity and peace.
