psydub

any of you listen to psydub?

Recommended Posts

in the psybient/psydownempo there happen to be a lot of psydub elements. As for me the good example of "psydub" is Androcell.

However i believe there are many artist who exclusively do psydub music.

 

i like it a lot, it is nice background for afternoon sessions in sun.

 

p.s.

you can check for psydun tags in the releases listings for 2014 and 2015.

I like it. Mostly artists who don't go under the bass music label, like Bluetech, Ott, Youth's projects, D. Batistatos, Don Peyote, Dr Psycedelic, Androcell, Globular and so on. In general I prefer it as spacy as possible, like Hallucinogen in Dub. Not too keen on the overused ganja and rastafari references. Up until some time ago I had come to consider the genre too uniform and predictable, but thankfully I've got over that and enjoy it again. It makes perfect sense in hot countries like mine for some reason, as does reggae.

Hey,

 

Psydub is great! Love it :-).

 

For starters adding to other references that were given earlier in this topic, you can explore this page:

http://www.ektoplazm.com/style/psy-dub

 

You can explore different downtempo genre while listenning to this amazing compilation:

http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/dj-basilisk-the-colours-of-ektoplazm

 

Ethneomystica VA are particularly good, I love Globular. Ott is of course a fav (staring with Hallucinogen in Dub, and others, and soon another album).

 

You can find more or less tribal psydub there:

https://shantiplanti.bandcamp.com/

 

And this is a label focused on psydub:

https://dubmission.bandcamp.com/

 

Enjoy :-)

Agree in 100 %, me too  :)

 

You could check also albums from LSD - Liquid Sound Design  label - you can find many good stuff in psydub style there eg. last album of Suns of Arqa ;)

check albums on bandcamp by genre

There are many ways to find something interesting apart artists from above posts, like for eg. Kalpataru Tree

Haha this search is kinda overwhelming!

 

But I didn't even try like this :-)! I'll probably find new good albums!

 

I like this album of Ashtech released on Interchill as well, I think it deserves a mention:

https://interchill.bandcamp.com/album/walkin-target

 

I guess there are already too many references anyway!

my friend Rakoon, is very young and promising "electro dub/ psydub" producer. his new EP shall be out in sooon.

https://soundcloud.com/rakoonreggae/mardub

 

Haha I like it a lot. For non-French (I don't know how famous he is outside), the singer  with the moustache hiding in the song and behind the raccoon is Georges Brassens. One of the most famous French singers.

And for those who know Georges, you should check La pompe moderne:

 

(clearly non ambient, nor psychedelic!)

Shanti Planti all the way. Quanta, Akasha, Landswitcher  :wub:  

 

Plus Globular, as many have already mentioned, and for my original introduction to the genre, Slackbaba (though only his old stuff - I personally don't like his new stuff at all).

 

If you're in the mood to listen to a mix, there's loads of psydub in this one:

Also some of Kuba's stuff might be considered a lighter, more subtle form of psydub.

I'll have to agree about that too. A bit less psychedelic but quite blissful and emotional.

 

A kind of early experimental psydub album I find pretty interesting to listen to from time to time is Dub Trees - Nature Never Did Betray the Heart that Loved Her, an album masterminded by Youth and Greg Hunter with some pretty well-known collaborators, Ott, Posford and Suns of Arqa's Wadada being the most familiar to me.

 

Another similarly experimental album by some of the same people, but a bit more on the ethnic side is The Kumba Mela Experiment - East of the River Ganges. Both these albums were released by the aforementioned LSD, whose compilations are top-notch.

Loved both of them, thanks for suggesting! Dub trees was really interesting. But it's weird, now when I listen to Shpongly songs (e.g. magnetica) like some of them I feel "well, already heard", but when I think it's from 2000, I feel better :-)!

 

It's not exactly the focus of the thread but I'd like to share a great funky song with you:

Waterjuice - Next steps

True. He has nice tunes, some also leaning towards classic stepper dub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvB0cLJWkbE

 

Here are three favourites of mine that haven't been mentioned yet:

 

 
Four years old now, but still sounding fresh :) Too bad he stopped making music like this. His other project 'Beatroots' is also nice, but with a different vibe though.
 
2) Deep Fried Dub -
Often leaning more towards regular dub, with some trippy and drum and bass influences.
 
3) Tor.Ma in Dub -
He put out so much good material last year. I highly recommend his latest two albums (self-released). The previews to his new album also sound promising.

... and Vlastur, too ( but obviously not everything as some tracks are more in in dubstep style) ;)

 

http://vlastur.bandcamp.com/

 

 

This one is massive  

 

 

 

There are another interesting greek band/artist which is Direct Connection - some of their tracks are really psychedelic

For eg. check this one ;)  http://directconnection.bandcamp.com/track/psychodub
