WHODEM SOUND

J. Robinson Feat. Darien Prophecy

Stand Firm

Another week, another archival release from leading modern roots, dub n bass label Whodem Sound. As usual, it's J. Robinson on the dials, joined this time by vocalist Darien Prophecy for a slice of riotous spiritual steppers. "Stand Firm" imparting a message of resiliance, despite what troubles our world throws at us. Set to a heavy skanking instrumental filled with deep place plumes and phazed offbeat keyboard stabs, it's a certified soundsystem banger and certain to cause more than a rukus at your local clash. 

As usual, we get a hazy, ganja-soaked dub version on side B with the red-eye level set to heavy zonk as J-Rob sends us into a THC-laced zone-out full of neverending delays, rattling reverbs and ever increasing bass saturation.




STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Loving these Whodem plates, each one's a bass bin wrecker with nuff roots and culture to keep the rastas noddin'. Especially like a dubwise 10", and the dub on this one is K I L L A !

Cessman

Militant Dub / In The Beginning

Another Whodem 10" relic from the archive. Strong and fierce, industrial steppers by Cessman who touches on proto-dubstep stylings via the A-side's "Militant Dub". Characterized by tuff snare hits, aggressive bass, and an urgent groove that wouldn't sound out of place on a DMZ record.

On the flip, "In The Beginning" treads a similar path - somewhere in between the eeriest utterances of dubstep and the most futurist of steppers dub. Military snares, eerie melodica licks, rastaman vox and digital brass stabs make for a track that'd sound at home on Deep Medhi as much as Aba-Shanti's pivotal "Jericho Walls Verse III" LP. Big ting! 


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: One of my favourites from the recent Whodem salvo. Modern steppers dub which seems to have cross-pollinated with the early dubstep prototypes from Digital Mystikz, Loefah et al. Agro bass, neck snapping snares, jump-up energy.. proper fierce.
