| Clan Analogue are excited to announce their new compilation "Clan Analogue In Version: Dub Selections" (catalogue no. CA036), out now through Creative Vibes. In Version is a fourteen-track exploration of dub and dub-influences. With tracks from Australian artists such as Dsico, Galactic Gangstars, Koshowko, Psyburbia, Andy Rantzen and winduptoys, Clan Analogue In Version covers an eclectic range of dub styles, from traditional dub roots right through to modern electronic dub experiments.
Electronic music owes a large debt to dub reggae. Sound systems, DJs, MCs, remixes and the emphasis on bass and drums are all ideas exported from Jamaican music to wider dance music. Many of Clan Analogue's artists have been heavily influenced by dub and its derivatives, but not since the groundbreaking Jaunt series in the 1990's has Clan released a compilation dedicated to interpretations of this style.
Producer Scot Mcphee, also known as Victor X-Ray, wanted to create an album that took the authentic sound of dub as its starting point and applied the unique perspective of Clan Analogue's artists and their history of electronic music experimentation. Following dub tradition, some artists reworked classic reggae basslines into new tracks, others brought their own grooves. Over an hour of sublime bass-heavy dub pleasure awaits you in Clan Analogue In Version: Dub Selections, so light up a big one and get listening!
The first 100 copies sold of Clan Analogue In Version include the limited edition bonus disc Inverted: More dub selections, containing extra dub-influenced electronica and bass frequencies guaranteed to annoy the neighbours.
Watch out for the album Double Exposure by winduptoys, to be released in March 2006!
