If you’ve been around the dub scene in Toronto for a while you’ve likely come in contact with Dub Rocket. On this self-released album, he explores the lo-fi side of digital dub and makes good use of distortion and abused technology. This isn’t digi-dub in the German techno sense, although you can include the genre in his influences nor is it as roots-based as the Mad Professor. It’s a strange album – sometimes soulful, sometimes twisted and experimental and generally weird. Based in reggae, it should still interest anyone who likes the outside edge of electronic music.
