Persian
Smoke Dub

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the bass bins, Mysticisms brings the latest in the Dubplate series. After the success of the first, Persian returns with a second 10” of reggae inspired electronics, covering Bass, Breaks, Digidub and now also, Jungle.

Taking no prisoners with the massive opener Survival Dub, Persian marries classic breakbeats and toasting to bouncing, dance floor effect. THE party starter. This is followed by Smoke Mari, a looping steppas of FX and breaks to lay down the Dubplate clash.

As ever the link between rave, breaks and sound system culture is explored, this time with the Roots’n’Lovers opening of There Is No Love giving way to a Junglist drop lifting up a beautiful soul sermon.

Finally, taking it all down, things wrap with the deep, sampledelic dub of Zatoichi’s Troubles. With a bass to destroy many a speaker, it’s lanquidity morphs from the EP’s hedonism of Soundclash styles to a gliding “tokers delight”.

Smoke the Mystery.
