Further Information:
Last winter DC entered the studio to record their new album. The concept was an electro dub project which would stray away from the traditional dub form in order to reveal the various influences of the group, from punk-rock to electronica. This is what the title DUB INFECTION denotes: the idea of formatted music whose arrangement has been infected by dub, not in a austere way but more playfully.
And the name is…
The choice of the name of the band refers to a real situation. As the years went by, one of the things we enjoy most is to investigate and to express ourselves through research. Therefore, sometimes we wonder: what would happen if one musician used the sound of the other? Could different sources of sound become one and control each other?
What will happen if everybody is connected directly to the other so as to influence each other¢s sounds?
But the name also signifies something more profound, more musical, because many people have visited our lab and have left their traces. We are open and all are welcome, provided that they understand our method

Track Discription

1. Ram: a dragging ambient-dub track with female vocals (Maria T) and down tempo philosophy.

2. Dubhead: conspicuously based on its rock foundation, although on its way to trance, the second track displaces the singularity of dub in mixing elements from different styles of music.

3. Dub Infection: in this track mc Yinka describes the infectious influences by dub, in a dubstep background and vibrating bass.

4. Psycho Dub: the psycho-analysis of a puppet president is illustrated by the theatrical dub atmosphere and the hypnotic beat of the first part, which lead to the final deconstruction.

5. Acquisition of power: the lust for power and its acquisition in any form provides the background for the reggae guitars, while in the second part memories of rock explode.

6. Dooba: a space-dub jam recorded in real time.

7. The final dub: the all-time classic track, a stepper remix by Professor Skank, probably one of the best Greek dubbers, using older recordings of the band to do his things…

8. Differences: the dark dubby tempo and the vigorous bass that support Julie Loi¢s, of the German group Alcalica, recitation which suggests differences as a reality in the first part, are followed by a jazzy break with harmonious guitars and backing vocals by Roxani.

9. Panther dub: electric sounds of samplers and synths balance on one drop and step forward beats.
