For some, melancholy is the joy of being sad. But for A Rocket In Dub, the reawakened project of Düsseldorf producer Stefan Schwander, also known under pseudonyms like Antonelli Electr. or Harmonious Thelonious, Viktor Hugo's famous saying always applies. Two years ago, the Düsseldorf producer and musician released a 4x7" box set on Krachladen Dub, his first release after a break of 17 years at the time. Now, two years later, nine new tracks follow as a long player, double vinyl release. Even more experimental, more playful, more hypnotic and with a trombone! Monotony is nice! The rocket is back in the club, teaching genres like house and minimal Jamaican dub deepness again. Third Album from A Rocket In Dub with past releases on Italic Records and Krachladen Dub.

"As could only be expected from Stefan Schwander, sooner or later, faster, danceable tracks emerged which however have nothing to do with obligatory Saturday night dancing: You can dance, but you don"t have to. The Spartan list of numbered tracks is no less densely and functionally structured than Stefan Schwander's other productions: The tracks take their time to create warmth and depth. Such depth corresponds with the work of the Berlin artist Hendrik Krawen, whose pictures were used for the maxi releases: Concrete situations in a timeless and disoriented age point to other, past or future situations. The music by A Rocket In Dub is also characterised by an enchanting lack of boundaries and cannot be fixed to a single genre or scene. Although it delves in various well-known and more obscure stylistic and production methods, it does without specific reference points in favour of relaxed functional freedom."
