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.
▼ Further recommendation
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. ▼ info |
