Binkieman – Strictly Binkie (2015)

Dubbhism

• Dubtronica 
• Dubstep 
• Electronic music

Comment: this set of 3 tracks can just be categorized as binkiecore. With regard to the imprint Dubbhism as a distributor of dub music it is all about quite tumultuous low bass frequencies, some more atmospheric threads, and adeptly treated electronic glimpses in between. Of course, in 2015 much was about dubstep as a genre yet fortunately it is not an orthodox issue. Binkieman comes out from the Netherlands and the music is produced on a custom built modular robosynth. Highly convincing.

VA & Leah Rosier – Irie Remix EP (2011)

/Raggamuffin, Remixes, Robot pop, Dub, Dancehall, Electronic pop/

Comment: Leah Rosier`s track Irie is mixed up or remade by different remixers like Not Easy, Speakah Productions ft. Natty d, Digikal Roots, Caballo & Neki Stranac, Monolow, and Bruno Tanmateos). Some remakes are more elliptically shaped, i.e dub-drenched, some are more dancehall-tinged, though, there are represented also robot/electro pop/trap glimpses and an off-kilter bagpipe based experiment. Indeed, by listening to it over here, temperature is rising and you get have sunshine in the music.

/Dub, Crossover, Remix, Pop, Dancehall, Reggae/

Comment: this is an amusing 6-track remix album comprising the Caribbean rhythms and ambiances and on the other side within these Jamaica-relied elements you can clearly perceive how the pop intentions by Leah Rosier, a singer from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, have been maintained to seep optimal dose out of it. So the EP can be called a sort of crossover release where a type of catchy mainstream-inflected pop example is intertwined with dub/dancehall cadences. The music of Leah Rosier is remixed by Bruno Tanmateos, Monolow, Digikal Roots, Peter Speakah, Caballo & Neki Stranac, and Not Easy At All. Ultimately, it is an enjoyable and charming music in any sense of these adjectives.

ISM/DUBBHISM - Vintage Dubbs Vol. 1 (2010)

Dubbhism

7.4

/Dub, Reggae, Raggamuffin/

Comment: here are represented 8 tracks by Tony Dubshot and 2 by Scratchy Dubplate Crew. Lazy ganja beats are mixed up with electronica or more contemporary club dance-tinged (programmed) beats. At times it sounds even primitivistic, though, which this time is not of advantage to. On the other side, however, Breaking Dub is a solid exploration. All in all, vintage meets more recent years.

D.E.A.D Sonic System (Dubbhism)

Muljetavaldav plaadiümbris. Monstrum dünaamilises positsioonis. Kümme lugu selle all on veelgi mitmemõõtmelisemad ja -mõttelisemad. Album on koletisi täis. Kuigi Dubbhism`i koduleheküljel on käesolevat kirjeldatud kui kõige DJ-sõbralikumat reliisi, on selles väites suur annus mürgist muiet. Vastupidi, seda helindit tuleks mõtestada just negatiivses tähenduses, s.t vastandumise kaudu igasugusele klubimuusikale, tegelikult ka elektroonilisele popmuusikale laiemalt - samas olemata ise kuidagi (elektroonilise) muusika šabloon (nihilistlik positsioon). Popmuusika ajalugu on niikuinii üles ehitatud vastandustele, seda nii kitsalt stilistilises mõttes kui ka sotsiaalideoloogilises tähenduses (mis reeglina on lootusetult üksteisega läbi põimunud). Selles peegeldub inimlooma egoistlik ning kõrgustesse pürgiv vaim. Raskelt roomav tekstuur ja rütm, mis kulgeb dub`ilikult ühest kanalist teise, paneb alul õlgu kehitama. Nagu luukere tants kitsaste seinte vahel, küünar- ja kodarluud vastu luitunud seina pekslemas. Dadaistlikud industrial-helid, 8bitised helivõnked ja rütmid, elektromutandid, dub-muusika võnked aegluubis. Nagu Throbbing Gristle ja Cabaret Voltaire algusaegadel publikut šokeerimas ja provotseerimas (et vastu päid saada). See ei ole situatsionistlik poosetamine, joint`ide ja trussikute lavale pildumine, vaid dokumenteeritud rünnak popmuusika mugavuse ning klubirütmide pealiskaudsuse vastu. Pentagonal hexecontahedron`i hullumeelne hip-hop, Gyroelongated Bipyramid`i ja Dodecahedron`i koletud naeratused teevad sellest ekstraordinaarse teose. Ei usu, et Lee "Scratch" Perry`igi oma kanepiuimases peas seesuguseid kujutluspilte näinud on. Midagi nii vihast ei ole kaua aega kuulnud.
