reggae,
scratching, dub oder auch remixing… alles wäre viel später und wahrscheinlich
mit einer prise weniger magie entwickelt worden, wäre da nicht lee 'scratch'
perry (geboren 1936). er, der massgeblich zusammen mit king tubby die
musikproduktionstechniken in den 70ern über alle bekannten grenzen
weiterentwickelte und revolutioniert hat. viele bekannte musiker und
produzenten aller stilrichtungen hat er mit seinem dub geprägt. mit seiner
unentwegten kreativität hat er z.b. bob marley den weg geebnet oder wie in der
neuesten produktion mit the orb

strictly dubplate: loefah – root (kryptic minds vip)

kryptic minds made this remix of loefah's classic "root" in late 2008. at this point they had already left the drum & bass-scene behind and had started producing music at 140 BPM, after having heard only a few dubstep tunes. developing their own sound involved experiments such as making a snare by hitting a stick against a tree and recording it on a mobile phone. their productions quickly caught youngsta's attention, who linked them up with loefah soon after, making way for their first release on swamp81. since then, they have established themselves among the most renowned artists of the dubstep scene. this
