I feel the name Dub Gabriel is one that should surely be careering through countless DJ sets, playlists and recommendations. Quite right too, this latest track ‘Is This Revolution’ has been tearing up dancefloors far and wide, utilising The Spaceape’s vocals to propel this track into the same level of wonderment as his the latters work with Kode9.
His work as Dub Gabriel has made him infamous among the global Bass community, working with a bizarre range of artists such as MC Zulu, 77Klash, Michael Stipe, Jahdan Blakkamoore and Yo! Majesty. As Jajouka Soundsystem he recently worked with Bachir Attar (of the Master Musicians of Jajouka) and David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets).
The A-side is a politically charged track “highlighting the dilemma facing our global society as people take to the streets striking out against hunger, poverty, war, government corruption and the rise of corporate cultural hegemony” and is backed up by the more soulful call to arms ‘These Times’.
The single is out now on Destroy All Concepts, you can grab it from all the usual places.
Nice one! Been looking for new material from Spaceape for minute and this track with Dub Gabriel hit’s the spot given everything that’s going on right now. I’m curious though, the last line of your first paragraph seems to trail off… “The Spaceape’s vocals to propel this track into the same level of” – what?
Oops! Don’t know what happened to the rest of that sentence, seems to be OK now. Yeah, Spaceape’s a smasher. Nice chap too by all accounts.
Ah, nice to see the end of the sentence and I couldn’t agree with you more! And thanks again for the heads up on Dub Gabriel – just checking out some more of his tracks on SoundCloud – some very tasty stuff indeed.
Dub Gabriel & Spaceape together? One of my fav Producers with one of my fav MC’s, Occupy the Bass!!!!
