King DuBear - Chapter One: From The Bear's Den

By Laurent C. on Saturday March 6, 2010, 11:55 - dub-releases





King DuBear - Chapter One: From The Bear's DenIt's a little while ago I would like to write this review about the first release of this producer from Poland. But, February was to short and the time goes so fast. Finally, in this Saturday morning, I take 5 minutes of my time to do that.
So, the "Chapter One: From The Bear's Den" is apparently the first release of the of King DuBear, a dub producer based in Ostróda, Poland. Release distributed under a Creative Commons license and, by this fact, proposed in free download on the net label Paproota. A new Polish net label strictly oriented dub music than I didn't know before. Maybe, we could speak about in a next future.

For his first production, King DuBear presents us an interesting sound. Actually, this one is based at the same on the stepper and the dub roots. By some sides, we can feel some influences from the first dub makers of England in the 1980's but with more contemporary sources of inspiration. Anyway, after reading the mini-bio of the artist, it's about what it's wirting on: inspired by the pioneer of UK sound such as Jah Shaka, King Earthquake or Aba Shanti I. My feeling was the good one ;)
Despite some more modern influences, the sound of King Dubear doesn't go inna electro style. Doesn't want the take the wave of this fashion dubstep. It's so much better like that: dub is dub and could be every things. And more, the style of King DuBear is rather sober. The producer doesn't add to much effects or tones like we can hear some time in some other productions. He doesn't parasite his music by useless patches. By this way, he proposes a crude dub, simple but efficient.
A release to download without hesitation and which must delight everybody who loves dubwise, heavybass and steady skanks.
