Dub Idren meets RootsyBeats - Travelers Soul

Travelers Souls is a work that transcends the song format to become a sensory and spiritual experience. In this collaboration, Dub Idren and RootsyBeats achieve a precise balance between dub tradition and contemporary sonic exploration, where each element seems to breathe and evolve on its own. The track aligns with an aesthetic that honors the genre's roots while forging new paths toward new textures.

From the opening bars, the piece immerses the listener in a deep soundscape, built upon dense, enveloping basslines that serve as the track's backbone. The echoes, delays, and reverbs are not mere effects, but narrative tools that expand the space and generate a sense of constant journey, almost as if each sound floats on an ocean of vibrant frequencies.

The rhythmic and melodic interpretation lends a human and meditative character, evoking the figure of the traveler not only as someone who moves physically, but as a being on an inner quest. In this sense, Travelers Souls engages with the purest essence of dub: introspection, awareness, and connection to something greater than oneself.

The production stands out for its clarity and attention to detail, allowing each sonic layer to have its own space without losing overall cohesion. RootsyBeats builds a solid and organic foundation, while Dub Idren imprints an identity marked by spirituality and authenticity, achieving a synergy that feels natural and honest.

Together, this release not only reaffirms both artists' commitment to a conscious message, but also positions itself as a relevant piece within the current dub scene, capable of resonating both on sound systems and in more intimate listening sessions. Travelers Souls is, in essence, a journey: one that has no fixed destination, but leaves a mark on every listener who decides to travel it.

Elastica Dub & Stroboman - Double Pulse (ft. Gabriel Blue, Isha Bel & Mc Dada)

 

Double Pulse is a two-track dub release exploring awareness, control, and liberation through deep bass, space, and conscious sound. Moving between introspection and physical vibration, the project uses dub as a language to question modern systems and reconnect with presence.

The opening track, Fade Away, marks a renewed collaboration between Elastica Dub and Gabriel Blue. It is a hypnotic and immersive dub piece that reflects modern disillusion and inner resistance, where illusion, consumerism, and the search for freedom converge within a heavy, meditative groove designed for deep listening.

The second track, Live in the Moment, produced by Stroboman and Elastica Dub, features Mc Dada alongside Jamaican singer Isha Bel. Rooted in sound system culture, it delivers a message of presence and resilience, driven by powerful vocals, deep low-end pressure, and spacious dub architecture.

Double Pulse balances reflection and vibration — one pulse questioning the system, the other reclaiming the present — crafted for conscious listening and full sound system impact.

 

12 Tribes Of Mars - Hidden Sun

The most enjoyable bands are those that not only surprise and amaze, but also confuse, in a positive way. Listening to the long awaited debut album of 12 Tribes Of Mars is a bit jarring. Lazy laid back beats, uptempo poppy tight rhythms, post-rock constructions, catchy themes, electronica effects. And always that recurring reggae, dub vibe and melodic earworms with many escapes towards jazz and free improvisation: how do you get it together? These are quirky musicians looking for authentic ways to express themselves.

 

Not in a loony way. All members of 12 Tribes of Mars are trained jazz musicians that are most comfortable in the borderland between musical genres. You hear craftsmanship here, carefully and cleverly constructed compositions and strong musicians who know what they are doing. I imagine an afternoon on a summery green lawn in a park, relaxed, spacey without sacrificing clarity. With eyes closed, you still dream away and wake up in a sweaty dance club. Through their spaceship, The 12 Tribes of Mars take you to many, diverse worlds within the universe of music.  

THE DEBUT ALBUM "HIDDEN SUN" WILL BE RELEASED ON THE 23rd MARCH 2026

AND IT IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER ON DIGITAL AND ON VINYL!

Muflon Dub Soundsystem - Empty Church

 

When we look around the world today, our faith is often put to the test. Is there truly a God when so much evil surrounds us? This question has been asked for thousands of years — it even appears in the Psalms of the Bible. Are you still holding on to your faith, or are you just one step away from losing it?

Let us stand strong together through this piece of music by Muflon Dub Soundsystem from Poland: firm steppers riddim, deep dub effects, heartical vocals by Karolina, and solid biblical inspiration woven into the lyrics.
