Dub has been present in popular music since its early '70s Jamaican reggae roots, also filtering into dance music in later decades, but never widely acknowledged for what it is: a truly groundbreaking conceptual art form equal in significance to other giant aesthetic leaps such as cubism or jazz. It abstracts the essence of music and allows its creator to redefine and reshape boundaries for what might otherwise be a predictable form of expression.
This is the concept upon which François K., on the heels of a 6-year co-residency at Body & Soul in NYC, has founded with his new weekly event, Deep Space. This compilation brings you a glimpse of what it is like to be there on a Monday night. Fran ois, in his legendary way takes us on a journey and shows us the thread, starting with old and new dub from the Skatalites, Jah Warrior, and Rhythm&Sound, taking it to dubbed-out house with Chicken Lips and Jungle Sounds, further stretching it into MatrixÕs futuristic, electrifying drum&bass and into cosmic techno with Carl Craig, Baby Ford and Jeff Mills. For the occasion, he has also gotten together with dub legends Mutabaruka and U-Roy for original productions exclusive to this compilation.
This mix CD collection includes many of the songs which have become favorites with the regular weekly crowds at Deep Space on Monday nights, where they enthusiastically flock to experience first-hand the trailblazing and unique Live DJ style he has developed over the span of a 25-year illustrious musical career.
