new.com (dj)
“advanced dubwise electronic music” is what new.com (comfortnoise, zero g sounds, dubexmachina) valuates above all things – be it in techno, bass music, reggae, digidub, steppers, (foundation) dubstep, (instrumental) grime, (leftfield) dancehall or (ambient) reggaeton. he is basically handling with vinyl records as a consequence of a well-developped quality consciousness (see basslines column #3).

Published highly recommended: lee ‘scratch’ perry on stage
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 orbdubexmachina march-13-charts
