The 18th Parallel meets Roberto Sanchez - Dub Avalanche Vol. 1 LP
SKU: FTR071
Description:
Fruits
Records presents the first volume of a series of dub albums by
Swiss collective The 18th Parallel. Following in the tradition of
Jamaican producers who revisited their catalogues in dub versions,
such as Bunny Lee and his Aggrovators with King Tubby, Junjo Lawes
or Linval Thompson teaming up with Roots Radics and Scientist, or
Joe Gibbs and his Professionals with Errol Thompson, Fruits Records
is launching a series of dub albums produced by the label's studio
band, The 18th Parallel, which will invite different sound
engineers to (re)mix the tracks throughout the albums: DUB
AVALANCHE.
This first volume offers a deep dive into the label's catalogue
through ten classic or unreleased riddims revisited by Fruits
Records' long-time partner, Spanish sound engineer extraordinaire
Roberto Sánchez. The instrumentals are brilliantly performed by The
18th Parallel and punctuated by the voices of legendary artists
such as The Viceroys, Lone Ranger, Cornell Campbell, and Dennis
Walks, who appear fleetingly before disappearing into clouds of
echo. Roberto Sánchez performs ten explosive, creative sound
deconstructions, playing with stylistic codes to stimulate our
memory and offer a timeless sensory experience.
Like the classics of the
genre, the cover art evokes a quirky retro-futuristic imaginary
space where, breaking with convention, the talent of Mexican artist
Melissa Santamaría is expressed through a striking metaphor of a
sonic avalanche.
DUB AVALANCHE VOL. 1 is
already establishing itself as a future must-have for fans of
uncompromising reggae and dub!
