Dubbin' At The Strobe (feat Michael Zerang) - (6:42) 124 BPM
Lighthouse (dub) - (6:34) 122 BPM
Review: Like Moritz Van Oswald and Andy Stott's work, Dubbing is proof that techno can be intellectually stimulating and entertaining at the same time. The work of former modern art professor Vincent Raude, the title track features an appearance from jazz legend Michael Zerang on drums. Remaining at a low tempo, Raude lets loose with a stepping rhythm accompanied by understated, rolling drums. On the flip side, Raude favours a similar approach. "Lighthouse Dub" is a textured, deep techno torch song. Influenced by the late night shanties of Rhythm & Sound, it brings to a close the latest installment in dub techno's intellectual development.
Review: Upwellings is a name that's been kicking around the digital alcoves of dub techno for some years now, and with this release on MOSHItaka the French artist looks to be hitting some form following a release for Telrae. Blue Line Dubs sees Vincent Raude deliver four tracks rocking Steve O'Sullivan-like kick, bassline and hi-hat combos, cutting through light atmospheres that go deep, but not too deep. "Blue Line To Brixton" is the most overtly dub reggae production and "King's Cross Dub" the most uber dub track of the bunch, while "First Storm" and "Remember Donau" deliver elements of the aforementioned styles made to fit a danceable framework.
