On today\u2019s show I\u2019m going to follow up on last week\u2019s all dub set by playing live tracks from Dubmatix and talk to the man behind Dubmatix, Jesse King.<\/p>\n
Dub is a tricky genre. While the basic elements of dub are understood, but it\u2019s difficult to do good dub well. I\u2019ve wasted hours that must surely equal to weeks of sifting through some truly uninspired dub to find the true gems. The sort of stuff that\u2019s flat, unimaginative and, worse, ungroovable. And Dubmatix\u2019s Jesse makes some great dub.<\/p>\n
Dubmatix has charted both in Canada and internationally and tours domestically and abroad. Jess has also collaborated with reggae greats like Sugar Minott<\/a>, Michael Rose<\/a> and Alton Ellis<\/a>.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been a fan of Dubmatix since first playing \u201cWar, Peace & Dub\u201d on one of dub sets. When I recently realized for all the live shows on solipsistic NATION<\/b> and with all the different genres of electronic music those shows offered I hadn\u2019t gotten around to featuring dub. I immediately thought of Jesse and asked him if he\u2019d come on solipsistic NATION<\/b> and share some music from some of Dubmatix concerts.<\/p>\n Oh, and I have a retraction from Bruno Natal, the director of the Dub Echoes<\/a> documentary, who was my guest on last week\u2019s show. When Bruno was talking about Joe Gibbs<\/a> he really meant Errol Thompson<\/a>.<\/p>\n
