Of absolute dynamic accord. Harmonized polar motion of temporally phased rhythm. Multi-parallel integration of circuitry on the atomic level. All of these descriptives apply to the latest masterwork from Dadub: Hypersynchron. 12 tracks displaying the furthest travels through quantum bass space, from collaborators Daniele Antezza and Marco Donnarumma. From the sinister to the breathtaking; in a world where an inverse red sun is damped by burgundy clouds over crimson alloy alleys, Hypersynchron is not an easy digestible or disposable work. Its rhythms set a future standard perfectly balanced across the farthest known and unknown spectra of electronic music, with bass technology so alien and precise that it may indeed take centuries to reverse engineer. Grooves from a hidden galaxy on axis-tilt just out-of-reach from our world, longing to join with our human planet interpretation of time. Presented across two slabs of heavy wax, accompanied by a remake from the Dark Lord himself, Scorn. Audio ayahuasca for the dimensionally adventurous.

OHM 053EP
|
Dadub is a project synonymous with the deepest rhythms from the interior of the human psyche. Low-end mysticism. Tribalist periodic audio patterns. The Berlin-based Italian producers behind the project, now constructed of sonic warlock Daniele Antezza and performance artist Marco Donnarumma, supply an unmistakably unique vision of post-apocalyptic dub landscapes. Past, present, and future blend into one, backed by the supremely sublime bass of creators who are light years ahead in their field. A Sun Called Moon is a superior first representation on Ohm Resistance, detailing their ongoing mission of creating bass-present music, regardless of dancefloor conformity. "The Time You Killed" opens as a psycho-acoustic audio film, depicting the unknown world from which the EP emanates. "I Would Gladly Die" introduces the first heavy rhythmic patterns, completely alien to identified structures, while unmistakably pushing a groove that entrances hypnotically. "Past Times, Present Ruins" lowers the tempo and continues extrapolating into new rhythmic territory -- or is it ancient? "It Was Too Soon" follows with beat-driven hednod, as influences from Scorn to Autechre are subsumed into the universal language that comprises Dadub. Feeling both familiar and foreign, both modern and eternal, Dadub's first appearance on Ohm Resistance is a fascinating drama played out in four acts. Spliff recommended -- subwoofer required.

At the center of this release from Dadub lies the myths of the ancient Greek goddess Demeter -- her search for daughter Persephone, the drink at the Eleusinian Mysteries ceremonies in her honor, and the fungus which gave the drink its psychoactive properties. "Mistresses March" is a thumping narrative where textures merge, scrape and plummet. Powered by a sound and groove generator invented by Daniele de Santis (Grün), "Ergot Kernel" is a chemical cauldron -- a beat continuously emerging from the undergrowth. Conversely, the atmosphere is also bright, full of electricity and warmth, with moisture descending.

You Are Eternity is the third album to be released on Stroboscopic Artefacts and comes from two of the minds who have shaped the label since its earliest days: Dadub. Recorded over a period of two years, but containing fragments and ideas that stretch back a decade, You Are Eternity has been mixed together to form a continuous piece rather than 12 discrete tracks. The effect? An immersive journey that encompasses the descriptors brutal, ferocious, ambient and aqueous. The album title hints at the almost spiritual origins of the album, Dadub's search for music that goes further, that spreads away from the confines of the time and place in which we find ourselves, music that seeps into the cavern of the eternal. Tucked into "Vibration," the very first track, is a sample of the Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. He leans close and says music is a spiritual gift, and those who misuse it, die young. Sage words. You Are Eternity is a record that refuses to take any chances, and Dadub are clearly producers intent on being around for quite some time. Features contributions from Edit Select, King Cannibal, and Øe.

Dadub carefully collates legacies of philosophical thought and transpose them into a brilliantly deep EP. The vinyl opens with "Perseverance," a slick slice of bass that writhes and twists around a syncopated core. "Temptation of Maya" is perfect for the mellow confusion of a Sunday morning. On the flip, the search for transcendence goes further with "Beyond the Veil," which crackles towards a sense of enlightenment. "Moksha" hints at a search for revelation, which is rendered in countless experimental layers and finely-wrought details.
