Following his earlier release Horn N Tentacles, dub producer Dubussy returns to Dubophonic with Magic Roots, a six-track album set for release this September. Marking his second full outing on the label, the record captures a new stage in his artistic evolution — one that bridges foundation and exploration with a refined sense of identity.
Developed patiently over time, Magic Roots reflects a process shaped by intention rather than urgency. Built on low heat and slow pressure, the album channels Dubussy’s desire to translate a personal sense of “magic” into the language of dub, while remaining firmly grounded in its core principles. The result is a work that resonates with both tradition and subtle experimentation.
Drawing from his spacious, meditative qualities, while echoing the textural richness of Horn N Tentacles, this new collection expands his sonic palette. Deep basslines, evolving echoes, and organic atmospheres intertwine with ambient and psychedelic influences, creating a sound that feels both rooted and exploratory.
Each of the six tracks reflects a distinct moment in time — fragments of journeys, places, and emotional states woven into a cohesive whole. Experiences, both internal and external, are translated into sound with a quiet precision, forming an interconnected system where ideas grow and feed one another like the roots of a living organism beneath the surface.
More than a standalone release, Magic Roots represents an important chapter in Dubussy’s ongoing development as a producer. It captures an artist deepening his connection to dub’s foundations while allowing his sound to expand naturally, guided by curiosity and experience. With this release, Dubussy continues to carve out a distinctive voice within the contemporary dub landscape — one that values depth over immediacy, and atmosphere over excess — pointing toward a future that remains firmly connected to its roots.
