These Dubs collects remixes of tracks from These Days EP by DubConscious. With a wide range in style this album connects the dots between several realms of post-Dub music and showcases talents from cities across North and South America. A perfect counterpart or “B-side” to These Days, it sonically sits apart from previous DubConscious releases, almost completely devoid of singing and heavily influenced by modern bass music. These Dubs supports and expands on the ideas introduced by These Days. This is music in the spirit of Dub Reggae, shifting through the forms of modern electronic styles, but never leaving the shadow cast by sound system culture.

Part of the intention when making this album was to include both Dub Reggae ”versions” ( the Jamaican proto-remix) as well as electronic remixes in several genres that feed off of Dub Reggae, presenting the various forms of remix side by side. With the help of Electro-Cumbia DJ El Guero Unico, electronic-folclore-cumbia pioneer Chancha Via Circuito, and These Days producer/Dub engineer Piper Street Sound, the Afro-Latin influences in These Days are now extracted to full-on Cumbias (or Nu-Cumbias, as it were). Uprise presents a mix that contains Dubstep and Drum and Bass, which is futuristic but stays rooted with delay and reverb splashes of Dub Reggae. heRobust’s mix of “Rhodes” smacks you in the face with a fresh sonic take on what was once a dubbed-out Afro-Beat tune. This album is not all clicks and clacks or indigenous technotrance though. Dub Architect and Piper Street Sound deliver some very, very deep dubs in the Jamaican/UK tradition as well. These Dubs demonstrates why DubConscious fits so well with a primarily electronic music label like 1320 Records. This album will be available on I-tunes, 1320 Records and many other fine online retailers on March 27th 2012.
