King Size Dub Special: Dubmatix (Various Artists)

The release of King Size Dub Special: Dubmatix is another impressive display of how a musical style has progressed. Dub as a style with all it's reference points between commerce and innovation. Canada: this is where the genre's busiest, most talented and possibly cleverest producer hails from: Dubmatix. Not only a studio virtuoso, but also an incredibly profound artist and perfectionist whose sure-fire instinct for the ultimate groove productions defines the current state of the art in the genre! With his debut album Champion Sound Clash in 2005, and a total of eight albums, and a mind-blowing number of digital releases and remixes, Jesse King, aka Dubmatix has conquered the world of dub and reggae. In everything he does he reveals a fine instinct for intricate and supremely skillful compositions full of unexpected twists and turns. Dubmatix has the power to surprise, not by using volume or of-the-moment gimmicks, but through clever, occasionally low-key but always absolutely compelling skills. 20 pounding dubs merge seamlessly into each other. All are ideal for bringing the dancefloors of the dub universe to boiling point. Heavy bass for heavy dancing! Features Tenor Fly, Linval Thompson, Tippa Irie, Cornell Campbell, U Roy, S'Kaya, Horace Andy, Ranking Joe, Mykal Rose, Kulcha Ites, Eek-A-Mouse, Earl 16, and Micah Shemiah.
