It's a name your price release, you choose how much to pay.
All proceeds from this project will go to the Refugee Community Kitchen.
Just a £1 donation makes a difference - it's enough for two hot meals.

You can read more about the charity and the work they do on their website www.refugeecommunitykitchen.com

Dubs on Acid is a collaboration between musicians, DJ's and visual artists (11 of us in total at the moment).

As well as the individual tracks the album is an opportunity to get other talent on board. That's why the front cover is a hand drawn illustration. And why the album includes a DJ mix of each track from the album (and some extra versions too).

Dubs On Acid Volume 2

Rollin - Powers (Trident Remix)

For Volume Two in the Dubs on Acid series we bring you a diverse selection of Dub, Jungle, and some genre straddling Dub/Jungle fusion.

This is reflected in the artwork. A beautiful hand drawn illustration, that shows our intrepid explorers Dog and Teef have entered the jungle. Kudos to our resident artist, @Kid_Oldman.

Our guest mix (Track 17) is brought to you by the mighty Selectabwoy. Joining those dots between Dub and Jungle.

As always, all profits go to charity.

Our chosen charity remains Refugee Community Kitchen.

Just a 50p donation makes a difference - that's enough for them to provide a hot meal to someone in need.

Dubs on Acid - Volume Two

170589 x Duderonomy - Chamisa (Trident Version)

Watching Close Encounters over the Christmas holiday reminded me that I'd always thought the Call & Response motif would make a great rave moment.
For a bit of fun I had a go at reworking it into a 160bpm Jungle track

Free download. I hope you enjoy it

Encounter

A Jungle Dubplate I made for my friend (@livingindarkness) to play on his Twitch streams.

Originally 150bpm I've pushed up the tempo to a more respectable 160bpm

Trident - Easy Everytime

Have you ever been playing Drum & Bass and somebody commented it's not Mozart or Beethoven! Well this is perfect for that situation!

Back in November 2020 the BBC released stems of Beethoven's Symphony No.5 for artists to remix. This was my effort to turn it into a Drum & Bass track

Beethoven - Symphony No 5 (Trident Remix)

Last year (during the 1st lockdown) Kniteforce Records ran a remix competition for the track 'The Way' by Hardcore legends Future Primitive.

For my version I decided to put the brakes on the pacey original and slow it down to 138bpm to fit in with 91-92 Old Skool Hardcore or Hardcore Breaks tracks. Over a year has passed since the competition ended so I thought it was about time to get it off my hard drive and share it.

Simon Holmes excellent version one the competition and got a vinyl release (www.discogs.com/Various-Remix-Rec…/release/18633556). You can buy a digital version of the the original track by following the buy link.

An unofficial competition has been running on the Atmospheric D&B Facebook group to remake the LTJ Bukem & Flytronix track 'Consciousness' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LtbS_kurmg

This lovely piece of '93 bliss was unfortunately never released so the challenge was to remake it using the original samples that have been identified. Rather than trying to make a like for like remake I took the opportunity to try and some additional parts to create my own interpretation.

For the free download click on the 'Buy' button to go to the Bandcamp page.

Respect to LTJ Bukem & Flytronix for creating the original track and to Lonnie Liston Smith for the lovely Rhodes part that forms the centrepiece of this track.

Please note this remake has been produced for fun and not for commercial benefit. If you object to this track being online and available for free download please contact me.

LTJ Bukem & Flytronix - Consciousness (Trident Remake)

An exploration into the 90's sound of Neurofunk as kicked off by Ed Rush & Optical with their seminal Wormhole LP.
Dark and twisted instruments intertwined with atmospheric synths with funk inspired drums and bass

Probe-Funk

Blade Runner 2049 meets 1996 Techstep

Dark pads meet distorted and tearing reeses overlaid with switching hardstep and amen beats

Cells (Techstep Mix)

Another exploration into the 90's sound of Neurofunk as kicked off by Ed Rush & Optical with their seminal Wormhole LP.
This time some 2049 samples join the intertwined dark and twisted instruments and atmospheric synths. The drums and bass try to bring the element of funk missing from modern Neuro

Not A Care In The World

Trident & Woken Balance - Symbiosis

This track originates from a challenge on the Madlabz Discord to produce a track from samples that must all fit on a 1.44MB Floppy Disk and at least one 606 sample.

Although this track was all made 'in the box' using Logic I have tried to follow the ethos of using old skool hardware by only using a limited number of fairly basic plugins to process the samples.

The samples and midi files are available here if you fancy doing a remix -  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fIkeCluRT8wjm3CFg7GRLcIvopPw4BF3?usp=share_link

1.44MB Jungle

A Speed Garage style tune currently on dubplate.

Let Me Tell You

Over the Christmas 2021 break I made (for fun) a Jungle D&B bootleg of one of my favourite film soundtracks.

This time it was the epic strings and choir part that lured James Bond into the Aztec Pyramid before Bond and the villainous Hugo Drax blast off into space. In classic Jungle fashion I've layered an amen break and sub-bass over the strings and choir. Then a selection of spoken and FX samples liberally sprinkled over the top. A short interlude of Bond style brass before the strings return for the second half.

Updated for 2024 to correct some iffy bass notes

I decided before Christmas that I'd have a go at making a Dub Techno inspired Atmospheric D&B track. The idea then expanded to doing an EP with the D&B version, a Techno version and a more energetic Jungle version.

I was hoping to finish the project over the next week until a computer related set back interfered. I'm hoping to finish off the project and self-release the EP once the computer issue is sorted.

Update - The final version is now available as part of the free Vector 234 EP on Bandcamp. Follow the buy link.

Thanks to the original artists for allowing the remixes.

Another Liquid track loitering on my hard drive, this time from 2022. Perhaps one to revisit in 2025?
