Mixwork in Dub

Echo Beach presents Mixwork in Dub by Rob Smith aka RSD, a true pioneer in the history of electronic music. Also known for his work as part of Smith & Mighty and More Rockers, the Bristol bass music stalwart has been pushing bass-heavy rhythms since the late '80s. Smith & Mighty's early releases on Three Stripe Records were influential in laying the groundwork for both the trip hop and jungle scenes for which Bristol would become renowned. Under the moniker RSD, Rob Smith produces fresh, innovative bass music that pays dues to his musical roots (reggae, drum and bass, dubstep, and beyond) while simultaneously pushing things forward. With releases on respected labels including Punch Drunk, Earwax, Tectonic, Black Box, and Moonshine Recordings, RSD's sound is typified by impossibly heavy sound-system-testing sub-lines and junglist dub breaks. He stays busy playing gigs from China to Slovakia to Australia, New Zealand, all over Asia, and back to Europe, UK, and the US. Bass-heavy rhythms. Dope! Mixwork in Dub features Dubxanne, Ruts DC, Carl Douglas, Jah Stitch, Dactah Chando, Marcia Griffiths, Dubblestandart, Horace Andy, Million Teeth, iLLBiLLY HiTEC, Longfingah, Lady N., Fats Comet, Martha & the Muffins, Lee Scratch Perry, Big Youth, and Yabby You.
