Have you ever gone into a record store not certain what you were looking for but you picked out something because you were intrigued or maybe just chose something on a whim? That\u2019s how I found out about dub.<\/p>\n
One day while aimlessly roaming the aisles of a record store in Boston I saw cassette by ROIR<\/a> called 21st Century Dub<\/a><\/i>. I didn\u2019t know what dub was but I really dug the stuff ROIR put out by Glenn Branca<\/a> and Einst\u00c3\u00bcrzende Neubauten<\/a>. ROIR hadn\u2019t disappointed me yet so purchased a copy of 21st Century Dub<\/i>.<\/p>\n I fell completely in love with dub. I was enchanted with how a form of music that was at once so miminal could have so much depth. Dub was sexy, mysterious, sensual and, at times, had a sense of humor. And dub was adaptive. Dub may have been a mutant offshoot of reggae but it quickly worked it\u2019s way into punk, hip hop and other forms of electronic music. Which brings us to today\u2019s show.<\/p>\n The artists on this edition of solipsistic NATION<\/b> capture a lot of the complexity of dub that I love so much. So light up a spliff or grab a pint of lager or whatever you have to do to get out of your head and kick back and relax and enjoy today\u2019s journey into the realms of dub.<\/p>\n This week solipsistic NATION<\/b> continues to promote art and design culture with another t-shirt give away contest, courtesy of Gsus<\/a>.
