Dubtrak
“Rapture”
Genre: World / Dub / Electronica
Our good friend Dubmatix from Canada, who played at Reggae Roast in August offers a free album download for your aduio pleasure.
“Rapture” is Dubtrak’s 2nd full-length release. It ventures even further into Global Beat Fusion territory. While music is still grounded with groovy electronica beats and dubby basslines, this time around Dubtrak goes beyond reggae-influenced vibes and departs for a globe crossing adventure. Classical Indian sounds, Middle Eastern and North African rhythms, Australian Aboriginal instruments and Native North American chants are used all over this album. But “Rapture”, as the title implies, is also an inner journey. Derek Beres rightly points out in his ‘Global Beat Fusion: the History of the Future of Music’: “Music is, first and foremost, a ritual affair”

In the run-up to the release of their highly anticipated debut album ‘Ghost in a Shell’, Screaming Soul have been uploading a series of weekly podcasts on Mixcloud. These are more like compilations than mixtapes but are designed to give the keener listener an insight into the bands’ influences. Check the links below to hear the first 3 Screaming Soul Inspiration Podcasts and follow Screaming Soul on Mixcloud to stay updated.
