After a few months’ hiatus, ZamZam Sounds returns with our third release from Philadelphia dub-tech duo Heights & Worship, the propulsive & heady “Selassie’s Song” in two parts. Heights is Ras Heights of Ital Sound System, Worship represents Rob Paine, long-time head of dubhouse institution Worship Recordings and Solomonic Sound System. ZamZam’s friendship and musical connection to Rob extends back to the BSI Records days, and the link remains strong.

Both versions of “Selassie’s Song” utilize dub techno principles in new shapes and forms, far from the familiar Rhythm & Sound homages. Techy clicks & skittering percussion intertwine with the ancient sound of the binghi drum, signaling a seamless marriage of Rasta consciousness with an early morning eyes-down techno pulse & palette.

The A side “Never Chained” mix marries double time hi hats and synthetic textures to a body-rocking half time riddim. Sharp snares cut through the dense atmospheres, like shots fired across distant waves, and the disembodied voice of Emperor Haile Selassie I intones timeless wisdom on the unity of humanity in spite of differences in race, creed, religion, or nationality. The tune’s second drop leads into a 4/4 pulse that carries the tune into full dub techno territory, continued in even sparser style on the B side.

The “Break Every Chain” mix strips away most of the melodics to focus on the heartbeat techno pulse, as metallic synth skanks rise and fall, hi hats deftly shift patterns and mechanical textures emerge and fade, a disorienting game of light and shadow. A masterclass in deep & esoteric dubwise as only Heights & Worship do it.

Mastered by Sam at Precise.  Released mid-March, 2018. Limited to 600 7" vinyl copies for the world. Design & screen print by Polygon Press.  No repress, no digital.

"Textures, basslines, bass grows and dubbed out effects makes up 'Jah is I light' featuring vocalist Green Lion. Where the Dub Version build upon the riddim adding catchy melodica lines. 'Reservoir' takes down the BPM a notch building on a deep minimal drum and bass riddim. Pads and chords, combined with experimental sound design dipped in floating reverbs and echo's."

DUBCOM030D - @Frenk-Dublin - Cascade One EP. Out now on @dub-communication. https://frenkdublin.bandcamp.com/album/cascade-one-ep

Review by JunoDownload: We have come to expect wonders from Frenk Dublin, a producer who continues to set the bar higher with every single release. This latest three track collection is a fabulous gift from the Dub Communication crew, seeing Frenk deploy a set of high energy dub-style weapons, kicking off with the jumpy chord designs and marching drum structures of 'Soundcraft', a tune we literally cannot wait to hear on a full blown system. Next, the title track 'Cascade One' arrives in style, again pulling ideas from Frenk's clear dub influences to create a sizzling piece of system mastery, driven by yet more creative percussive expression and distant melodica lines. Finally, 'Bluesky Dub' sees us really switch up the flavours with a much slower jig, allowing much more room for expansive basslines and floating delays to run riot. Yet another expertly crafted selection from the man of the moment!

DUBCOM032D - @frenk-dublin - Still Dub EP out now on @dub-communication. https://www.junodownload.com/products/frenk-dublin-still-dub-ep/4808875-02/

Review by Juno Download: ''Dub Communication originator Frenk Dublin returns to his best known frequency in the Still Dub EP with four tracks that blur at the edges of what's techno and what's dub. For the harder edged dub fans out there it's all about "Aksu" and "Azalea" with some gritty, heavy and deep vibes - given a silky groove by the former while a thin layer of distortion coats the latter. Spacious and downbeat, "Dischord" wobbles with an almighty tremolo, subtle drum fills and delayed synth stabs with the title track offering something of murderous, cavernous flow rivalled only by the likes of Deadbeat. Dub heads unite''.
