Dub Cmd - Moonsteppa

dub cmd - Moonsteppa / Dubophonic Records 2019 Cyprusdub cmd - Moonsteppa / Dubophonic Records 2019
Dub Command is a solo project of the UK based dub producer and musician Gabriel Ufir, born and raised in Poland, where his love for reggae and dub originates from.

After moving to the UK at the age of 18, Gabriel started learning to produce electronic and computer music and fell in love with composing music. During this time he continued to explore dub scene and through years of experiments in the studio he managed to create a unique blend of serious dub basslines over electronic-reggae, often lo-fi style tracks. With a fast growing audience and positive response from soundsystems, Gabriel will be working soon on his new material and start to perform live shows in 2020.

The Moonsteppa EP is the artist’s first official release. It includes two heavyweight rootical dubs, accompanied by their crucial versions. Give thanks to Mantsche for the inspiring artwork.

Dub Cmd & Soul Fire - Blessed

Dub Cmd & Soul Fire - Blessed / Dubophonic Records (c) 2020
Lee “Scratch” Perry’s 70‘s classic “Soul Fire” was the ignition for the songwriter and singer Vassilis Savopoulos a.k.a “Jah Smiley” from Thessaloniki to form in the beginning of 90’s “Soul Fire”, the first reggae band in Greece. It has been almost thirty years since then and probably no one could have ever imagined, that this reggae band would record their first album with the internationally renowned dub producer Mad Professor from Ariwa Records and play as the opening act for the legendary band of Bob Marley, "The Wailers”. Well-known artists participated in that first album: drummer “Sinclair”, member of Lee Scratch Perry’s band “Roboticks”, Aisha on the backing vocals, Cofi and Mafia from “Mafia & Fluxy” plus MC Fredi Kruga.

Fast forward in year 2019, Soul Fire visit Cyprus for a performance at the Reggae Sunjam Festival and thanks to the organisers of the festival, local and international artists who were also participating had the chance to meet each other and build a bond. Artists became friends, new connections were established and good things fired up some new collaborations. The friendhip worked as a boiler, cooking some brand new vibrations!

“Yuh affi know, dat life ah raw, Aal dat glitters ah nah gold
Mi affi seh, only wid pray, Cah living inna babylon ah rough
Guh wid de flow de spirit grows, One day will shine lacka rainbow,
It has been told de days of ole(old), Written inna fi wi hearts Jah Jah law”

God, love, inner self, consciousness and justice could be the keywords for someone searching behind Soul Fire’s songs. «Marley was the light and Burning Spear was the mystic spirit of reggae for me»  says Jah Smiley. Nuff respect Aki Mittoo for the spiritual melodica cut, adding the missing link to this conscious journey and to Versioncos  for the amazing artwork!

Dub Cmd & SistaSara - Deeper Understanding

DubCmd & Sista Sara - Deeper Understanding / Dubophonic Records 2019
"Show appreciation, let it glow
Daily introspection, let it flow

Light for every nation you will see
Consciousness expanding

Deeper understanding

Let everyone know life is worth so much more
And the blessings can reveal that for sure
May everyone know life is worth so much more
And the blessings can reveal that for sure

Eventually light will shine on again
Humankind rebirth / Soul-search on earth

 Let everyone know life is worth so much more
And the blessings can reveal that for sure"

This EP is a true child of Dubophonic Records. Both artists released earlier this year their own musical works on the label: SistaSara's Space Stepper and Dub Cmd's Moonsteppa. The admiration of each other's music led to their first collaboration … and they are both working on some more tunes, since SistaSara will be giving a word and a voice on some tracks on Dub Cmd's upcoming album in 2020.

In terms of message, things are getting biblical here. Because whenever tribulation comes upon I and I, the word of JAH is always there for us. The title track Moc, is strongly inspired by the Book of Revelation, as these hard times can be lived through as Revelation Time. Its lyrics say:

“Power you got to experience / Glory which has to reveal / Truth which sets you free / Words worth remembering / Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks / and honor and power and strength / He will come again!” 

Another song, Emmanuel, also leads us to some mystical areas. Its inspiration also comes from the Bible, precisely, Luke 19, 44: Emmanuel! Recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”

SistaSara - You Step, I Dub

SistaSara - I Step, You Dub / Dubophonic Records (c) (p) 2022
The Italian female music producer SistaSara returns in 2022 with a new EP. She was born in Venice, Italy, with Italian mother & Nigerian father. She started as a session drummer and backing vocalist in numerous bands and projects in Italy from 1995 till 2003. In Spring 2003 she moved to London, UK, where she began studying music production. The London Dub scene was a crucial influence in her music development and it is a core factor in her music identity.

She has already a few releases on Dubophonic Records: as a solo artist (Soul Stepper, Explorations In Dub Vol.2 / Lockdown Dub) and a few EPs collaborating with Dub Cmd (Deeper Understanding, Leaving Babylon Behind, Follow The  Bassline) her new EP entitled You Step, I Dub is the first release of 2022 and it is a showcase of her very personal style, influenced by UK Stepper, PsyDub and Trip Hop. It is presented in three different cuts and is available from all online music stores and streaming platforms.

Lyrics:
“And you step and I dub and the pressure goes up, yeah mmm
And I dub and you step then it’s time to reset, yeah
And you step and I dub and the pressure goes up, yeah mmm
And I dub and you step then it’s time to reset, yeah
Rewind / Come again / Reset and go / With the flow / Burning snow
Tears in a row, millions of them, heartbreaks heart takes
Humanity / I long for unity /
Unity / Give me some unity
Let the delay lead the way / That’s what I say / again and again /I’ve been saying it
Were you hearing it / Are you feeling / or simply getting it cause it’s not the same
Let the delay lead the way / That’s what I say / again and again”

High & I is also the founder of Teesside Dub Club, leading the dub revival in Middlesbrough.

Shanti-K meets Aki Mittoo ft. Goja Bongos - Botanical Story / Rudies

Shanti-K Aki Mittoo Goja Bongos - Botanical Story / Dubophonic (p) 2021

If we could use words to describe this new EP coming from the land of the rising sun, these would be "heavy Far East dub sound of future roots". Two uplifting instrumentals, Botanical Story & Rudies - three cuts each! The dub recipe consists of the following three ingredients, only to be found in Japan:

The dub creator and producer Shanti-K: He Started making music in 1993. As a multi-instrumentalist (guitar, bass, djembe) and producer (Kalpana Studio), he has been providing riddims for various artists, releasing tunes on vinyl and digital. As a soundman, he founded alongside “Light-On Super-Disco” in 2020 the “Dub And Future” Sound system, producing tunes also for other sounds.

The female melodica player Aki Mittoo: Coming from the town of Aichi and already a regular on the label, she is known through her collaborations with Dub Cmd, SistaSara and Soul Fire. Nevertheless, this is her first release on Dubophonic Records as a member of a full Far East crew. She has a license as a Yamaha piano instructor and a Suzuki Musical Instrument melodion instructor. her playing Style is cultivated through her experience as instrumentalist in different genres throughout the years.

The Kette drum player and manufacturer Goja Bongos: He lives in the town of Hyogo and he likes earthy music: reggae, African, afro-Cuban and Latin. After his visit in Jamaica in 2005, experiencing the authentic reggae music, he returned to japan and in 2009 he started manufacturing kette drums. Since 2015, he has been in charge of the percussion in the roots reggae band of Sister Maki, while his passion for drumming guided him to form in 2019 his own nyahbinghi project. "Goja" is a local dialect of Banshu that means "crazy"! If you enter the circle of Nyahbinghi, the drums of Goja Bongos will shake the earth with a dangerous presence.
