Dubussy - Magic Roots

 

Following his earlier release Horn N Tentacles, dub producer Dubussy returns to Dubophonic with Magic Roots, a six-track album set for release this September. Marking his second full outing on the label, the record captures a new stage in his artistic evolution — one that bridges foundation and exploration with a refined sense of identity.

Developed patiently over time, Magic Roots reflects a process shaped by intention rather than urgency. Built on low heat and slow pressure, the album channels Dubussy’s desire to translate a personal sense of “magic” into the language of dub, while remaining firmly grounded in its core principles. The result is a work that resonates with both tradition and subtle experimentation.

Drawing from his spacious, meditative qualities, while echoing the textural richness of Horn N Tentacles, this new collection expands his sonic palette. Deep basslines, evolving echoes, and organic atmospheres intertwine with ambient and psychedelic influences, creating a sound that feels both rooted and exploratory.

Each of the six tracks reflects a distinct moment in time — fragments of journeys, places, and emotional states woven into a cohesive whole. Experiences, both internal and external, are translated into sound with a quiet precision, forming an interconnected system where ideas grow and feed one another like the roots of a living organism beneath the surface.

More than a standalone release, Magic Roots represents an important chapter in Dubussy’s ongoing development as a producer. It captures an artist deepening his connection to dub’s foundations while allowing his sound to expand naturally, guided by curiosity and experience. With this release, Dubussy continues to carve out a distinctive voice within the contemporary dub landscape — one that values depth over immediacy, and atmosphere over excess — pointing toward a future that remains firmly connected to its roots. 

 

Elastica Dub & Gabriel Blue - Revolution Time

 

Revolution Time is the new single by Elastica Dub feat. Gabriel Blue, a powerful and contemporary roots-dub track built around a deep, pulsating bassline by Mattia Palagi. The song comes from the meeting point between the spiritual attitude of reggae, the hypnotic strength of dub, and an electronic production with a strong sound system feel, produced by Alberto Tucci.

Gabriel Blue’s voice carries a message of awakening, unity and transformation, inviting the listener to rediscover inner strength and a collective vision in a time marked by confusion, division and deep change. Revolution Time is not only a call for rebellion, but an invitation to shift perspective, reconnect with rhythm, community and a more authentic vibration.

Between low frequencies, delays, reggae grooves and dub tension, Elastica Dub creates a warm, direct and immersive sound, able to speak both to the dancehall and to a deeper listening experience. The release also includes a hypnotic dub version, where the bassline expands, the effects take over and the voice becomes echo, breath and sonic suggestion, guiding the listener into a deeper and more meditative dimension.

A track rooted in the roots tradition, yet shaped with a modern and international language. Revolution Time is the time for change, connection and positive resistance.

I-niverse meets Leo Tan - Holy Ground, Vol. 1

 

Dubophonic Records proudly presents another heartfelt collaboration between Leo Tan and I-niverse, delivering a powerful collection of roots reggae and dub inspired by faith, redemption, and the everlasting love of the Creator.

Built upon warm reggae foundations and deep dub sonics, the EP carries a clear message of hope and salvation through two original vocal compositions and their accompanying dub counterparts, culminating in a beautiful saxophone interpretation by Sax N Dub.

Opening the release, "Son Of God" is a passionate declaration of praise, celebrating Jesus Christ as King of Kings, Redeemer, and Savior. Blending biblical imagery with conscious reggae spirit, Leo Tan's lyrics speak of grace, righteousness, and the ultimate triumph of truth over Babylon, while I-niverse provides a rich and uplifting musical backdrop. The companion version, "Son Of Dub", transforms the song into a deep instrumental meditation, allowing the message to resonate through echo, bass, and space.

The second vocal offering, "There Is A Place", draws inspiration from the teachings of Christ and the promise of eternal peace. Reflecting on mercy, humility, and divine love, the song points toward a holy place where believers find rest and shalom in the presence of the Father. Filled with reverence and gratitude, it stands as a moving testimony of faith and redemption. Its dub counterpart, "There Is A Dub", explores the same spiritual landscape through immersive rhythms and atmospheric effects.

Closing the EP, "There Is A Sax" features the expressive playing of Sax N Dub, whose soulful melodies bring a fresh dimension to the composition. Floating gracefully over the roots rhythm, the saxophone version provides a reflective and uplifting finale to the journey.

With its blend of conscious reggae, gospel-inspired lyrics, and heavyweight dub production, Holy Ground Vol. 1 is a release dedicated to listeners seeking both spiritual nourishment and authentic roots vibrations. A celebration of faith, praise, and the enduring power of reggae music to uplift the soul.
