Dub Spencer & Trance Hill
, Switzerland's dub heroes have teamed up on this new project with
Umberto Echo
, one of the most sought-after dub remixers this side of the English Channel. In 2006, Dub Spencer & Trance Hill released their Echo Beach debut
Nitro
(EB 057CD), a sort of Spaghetti Western in dub with plenty of dynamite. Since then, the Swiss musicians have added three further notches to their list of releases --
Return Of The Supercops
(EB 063CD),
Riding Strange Horses
(EB 071CD) and, most recently,
The Clashification Of Dub
(EB 081CD/LP) -- as well as several echo-laden cover versions of classic party hits such as "Jeanny" or "Enter Sandman" and canonized songs like "London Calling," earning them kudos all over the country and setting feet tapping. On their last European tour, the dubsters cooperated with the Munich-based mix master Umberto Echo, whose illustrious profile spans several pages. For his debut album
Dubtrain
, the jazz label Enja (
Chet Baker
,
Abdullah Ibrahim
,
Rabih Abu-Khalil
) set up a special sub-label, Enja19. Last year, Echo Beach released the album
Dub The World
(EB 074CD), which featured his distinctive, ultra-precise dub take on tunes by
Sly & Robbie
,
Seeed
,
Damian Marley
,
Stereo MCs
and
Gentleman
. At their joint club and festival performances, the combination of live band and live mixer turned out to be the proverbial "marriage made in heaven." On the decks, Umberto Echo transformed Dub Spencer & Trance Hill's riddims and melodies into thrilling, transcendental sound collages. The vibe was so good that they decided to hit the studio for a joint session after the tour: founding member
Marcel Stalder
(bass) and his bandmates
Julian Dillier
(drums),
Philipp Greter
(keyboards) and
Markus Meier
(guitar) met up with Umberto Echo at his studio, plugged in and let rip. And here are the results. It is no exaggeration to say that this meeting of minds is for continental Europe what
Scientist Meets Roots Radics
was for Jamaica and
Massive Attack vs. Mad Professor
was for England: an alliance too big to fail.
