Various Artists – Jahtarian Dubbers Vol. 1 (CD)

“The mighty Disrupt camp return to wreak havoc on our subwoofers with a full-length selection of heavy dub, dancehall and dubstep variations straight from the depths of the echo chamber.

Disrupt himself looms large over proceedings with two heavyweight contributions – “Kozure Okami” and “Selassi I Continually version” – the former a skanking 8-bit dub blowout in finest, smoke-filled style, the latter employing a slowed down steppers vibe that reverberates and spins out in a plume of dub delay – its just mighty mighty stuff.

Type Record’s Julien Neto also makes a return to his “John Frum” moniker for two tracks of endlessly deep midnight dub – valve organs and shockingly weighty bass in tow. Ilyah & Candy offer another highlight – a squashed dub lullaby with sweetest female vox – one part King Tubby to one part Glass Candy, offering a good transition point and another unexpected move from this forever inventive camp.

With narcotic bassline killers from Blaze Dem, Rootah, Pete Murdertone and Blue Vitriol along the way – The Jahtari massive has established itself as a sturdy bass for a number of likeminded low-end operators, and this 10 track session is simply a must for all you Burial, Disrupt, Basic Replay and Lee Perry heads out there – and a bargain to boot. Killer wares all-round – ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!”(Boomkat 2007)
