The wind is blowing from a very different direction with Phonocake's latest release: Disrupt transfers classic reggae music to contemporary media, thus producing reggae with the help of digital tools - laptop dub plates, so to speak.

You could call the sounds developing from that mixture spherically electronic. All four tracks are very dubby, three of them are constructed on traditional riddims, as is usual - and even essential - in reggae music. The influences of digital elements turn the tracks into an interesting experience, adding a certain disruption (ahem) to the
calm atmosphere, which is rather common in reggae and dub music.

"Argument" is very catchy and highly contagious, the resounding voice samples, the good-humored synthesizer, at times reminding of 8bit music,and the underlying riddim have the potential to convince even the worst-spirited person to tap their feet.
