Dubussy - Magic Roots

 

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.

Munay Ki Dub - MKD

Munay Ki Dub is an electronic live dub trio, representing a new breed of artists from Argentina. Hailing up from the mountains of central Argentina, they combine live instruments such as violin, melodica, percussion, bass and guitar with programming, effects and digital instruments

Munay Ki Dub are Alejo Gonzalez (programming, keyboard, bass, fx, guitar, lead and backing vocals), Rebecca Clements (lead vocals, violin, melodica, keyboard and percussion) and Roby Torcello (guitar). The name of the band comes from an indigenous language spoken by the Quechua people, primarily living in the Peruvian Andes and highlands of South America. "Munay Ki" in Quechua means "i love", so their name reflects their passion: “I Love Dub”.

Their debut release comes in the form of a digital EP entitled “MKD” and includes four tracks that follow the above recipe, lyrically using the English and Spanish languages as a form of political expression and social awareness/consciousness, musically gliding between digital roots reggae, dub & bass and steppa.

Roots Masashi - Namah Shivaya

Roots Masashi is a Roots Rock / New Roots composer from Osaka, Japan. He drew his inspiration from friends in high school and fell in love with conscious reggae music.  He was fascinated by Osaka’s dub scene, especially after meeting the “Dub I Roots Crew” and “Rebel Culture” in 2012 and soon after, he started building “Roots Far I”, his own Sound System and Digital Live project, based in Kishiwada of South Osaka. His devotion to Roots Rock Reggae, New Roots and Dub guided him all around Japan, touring with the soundsystem and urging him to reach new musical heights

His first release on Dubophonic Records is a musical and holy salutation to the Auspicious, an adoration to the Most High. Based on one of the most important Mantras in the Shaivism tradition, Namah Shivaya is associated with qualities of prayer, divine-love, grace, truth, and blissfulness. It calms the mind and brings spiritual insight and knowledge. Traditionally, it is accepted to be a powerful healing mantra beneficial for all physical and mental ailments. “Na” sound represents the earth, “Mah” sound represents the water, “Shi” sound represents the fire, “Va” sound represents the air and “Ya” sound represents thesky. Its total meaning is that "universal consciousness is one". The recitation of these syllables is sound therapy for the body and nectar for the inner self and the soul.

Dub Riots / Indamouse / Bluez - Creation

Dub Riots were formed in 2008 in Athens, Greece. They have been featured on a few compilations on Dubophonic (Explorations in Dub 2013, Legal Rmx 2016 and Reggae Sunjam Vol.I 2017 and Vol II 2018) and also on the Greek label Reggaewise with their first EP State Of Life in 2013. 

Having performed live as a dub duo all over Greece, but also in Cyprus, Belgium and Switzerland, it was about time to release their second EP and their first one on the label, doing their own dub-manipulations of some of the greatest reggae anthems. 

On this release they meet Indamouse aka 3voice, another member of the Reggaewise crew based as well in Athens; a selector and producer influenced by the Jamaican soundsystem culture and the UK stepper style. Alongside the mystical sound of Bluez on the melodica, they offer a fresh conception of well established tunes like Creation, Rat A Cut Bottle and A Still Tongue, tribute to the foundation artists of reggae music. We hope you enjoy them!

Mr Zebre ft. Rebel-I - Legal Rmxs

The original version of LEGAL has been released back in 2012 in Mexico by Mr Zebre and Rebel-I, receiving some mad feedback everywhere it was played, especially in Latin America. In the frame of the world wide ganja legalisation movement and the new approach that many countries adopt, we decided to re-release the tune for free download, raising awareness ….. but of course we added that extra Dubophonic touch.

This is not the first time that Dubophonic released a remix album, but this is the first time that it was done in such an interactive way. This release is a result of a competition, which has been running for the last two months. Every artist had the opportunity to submit their own version of the song (remix, dub, rework). We received around 40 submissions and we would like to thank everybody for their contribution. Unfortunately we could not put all mixes on the release ... but you know that dub music has nothing to do with competition. It has to do with the message we spread and with the vibes, and that big feedback proved that dub music has no borders. It is an international movement, growing stronger day by day. Big up to each and every one for the great vibes and also for the hard times you gave us, till we came to the final decision. Every version we received was unique!

The final selection was done by the Dubophonic crew, Mr Zebre, Rebel-I and a team of djs and selectors from various radio stations, who all casted their votes and compiled the list of the 13 tracks who made the final cut: Heavyweight names like Professor Skank (GR) and Al Breadwinner (UK), Dubophonic residents Mexican Stepper (MEX), Med Dred (CY) and Negritage (ARG), but also fresh rising artists like Zentash Gigawatt (BIH), Djiman (FR), Atlas Dub (FR), Sub Majesty (SUI), Injectah (RO), Dub Riots (GR), SKG’s Dub Alliance (GR), R3di the Dub Hermit (UK/CY), Colonial FX (IRL) and Dj Rastacore (ARG). Let the dub games begin!

Sunjaman - Outta Here

Sunjaman is an upcoming producer from Athens, Greece. Being a musician & bass player himself, he has always been exploring the sound of the bass, trying to travel into new territories on his effort to establish his own sound. On the process of exploring the bass territory, he had joined many bands and created numerous side-projects, from punk to hiphop. 

 
Inspired by the originality of roots dub and influenced by the modern dub steppa scene, he began to produce and public his tracks online. He made his debut release in 2013 and continued with many collaborations and releases.

 

The style of Sunjaman cannot be described by only one musical genre. It combines many elements of bass music, such as dubstep, jungle, steppa, roots, dubwise. This is eminent in this 7-track EP, consisting of three original tracks and four alternative cuts.

Nuff respect to Northical from the Greek band/soundsystem Kako Synapantima for vocalising “Heavyweight Sound”, as well as Manwel T from Dubkey Records for his version of “Outta Here”.  Big shout out goes also to Jungle Raiders for a very energetic jungle cut of “Witness the day”. The cover art is credited to Katerina Arvaniti. Give thanks!

TRACKS: 01 Heavyweight Sound (ft. Northical) // 02 Outta Here // 03 Witness the Day // 04 Heavyweight Sound (Sunjaman Re-Dub) // 05 Outta Here (Manwel T Remix) // 06 Witness The Day (Jungle Raiders Remix) // 07 Witness The Day (Re-Edit)

Koncrete Roots - Dub ina Midlands

 

 

The year 2014 starts with some new Dubophonic heights with Koncrete Roots, a one man project by Thomas Kenney from Leicestershire in the East Midlands of England.

From an early age Thomas would listen to a huge amount of music though he would always favour the sounds of Ska and Reggae. Music was always in his blood and he began producing back in 2004 under a different name. The music he was making at the time was a reflection of the scene around him; hip hop and grime. It wasn’t until later in life, when he was introduced to (and fell in love with) Dub music, that he started to take his own music seriously and started to develop his own sound and style.

Koncrete Roots’ style can be described as a deeply rooted dub sound with a modern day steppa twist. This twist makes all the difference and gives an electro dubness to their traditional rootical sound introducing some great vibes to the massive, entering into the new year.

From the meditative “River Jordan” to the rootical electro steppas like ‘Inity Step” and “Sound Killah”, Koncrete Roots deliver their message of dubness and irieness into the year 2014. Not withstanding his versions of two old time classics, the UK producer seems like a sound warrior, armed with deep basslines and organic melodies like in “Universal dub”, marching to destroy Babylon on his way to Zion.

 

TRACKS: 01 Warehouse Dub // 02 River Jordan // 03 Bandulu Brukout // 04 Sound Killah // 05 Fisherman Dub // 06 Bury The Bwoy (Dubplate) // 07 Shuriken Dub // 08 Universal Dub // 09 One Dub Beyond (Low Freq Bass Dubplate) // 10 Inity Step
