===================================
I remember interviewing 340ml at the Flux New Year festival a year ago. The guys were all very comfortable to chat about the band and tell us their plans…the only quiet one really was RUI, the bassist – or maybe it’s not that he’s quiet, he’s just really chilled out and relaxed. Anyway, one thing he did did speak energetically about was his plan to put together a DUB compilation and how excited he was about the project. I guess the man put his money where his mouth is and a year later…. tra laaaaaaaaaaa – see the press release below for RUI’s Dub album and make sure to get to the launches!NOTE TO MUSO’s: Hard work and patience never hurt anyone. Hang in there!
Dub Vaults: The South African Connection. Part 1, the brainchild of Mozambican-born band member of 340ml, Rui Soeiro, is out in stores.
The album, which is a compilation of various South African artists promises to be as laid back as the producer himself.
The compilation which was produced under the auspices of the 340ml Music Label and is being distributed by Ghetto Ruff promises to be a both a chilled-out and easy listening experience. Even if you are not a dub fan it has the ability to grow on you.
The compilation, which is a showcase of local talent, boasts four unreleased tracks from artists like Levi Pon The Mic, Chocolate Cookie, Wizard of Ozone and Hudson. The final product is in part a collection of demos and tapes that have been accumulated over the years. Most of the mixes were put together with the help of producer and sound engineer, G-dub.
The album consists of 13 amazing tracks featuring groups like 7th Son, Teba, Tidal Waves and Moodphase5ive. It also includes a dubbed version of the 340ml hit single 21:40. At the same time it introduces 340ml’s next big artist, the MC rastaman Levi Pon the Mic.
