I'm "Against It", says Ras T-Weed. And the Radikal Dub guys are, too. Dub Flash sometimes is and sometimes not.

| Dub Flash's snap-shot thought: |
|
Croatians are known for playing rough football. And for making rough dub music. OK, maybe Croatians are not that known to make dub music at all, but at least the guys from the Radikal Dub Kolektiv are. After a couple of RDK releases on other labels (for example on Universal Egg) and uncountable heavy live shows, they now (summer 2009) come with their first own 10" release on Digitron Records.
Two riddims are presented, on the A-Side a truly massive stepper in vocal & dub style featuring Ras Tweed. The dub version is a hell of a krass tune with wicked bass, distortions, strings attached, crazy dubbing and indeed a rough drum section. Awesome.
"Dubolique" on the B-Side comes with two dub versions and a very fast paced riddim section, maybe 260 bpm or so. While the instrumentation itself is nothing too special, the tune gets you in the groove the longer it plays. When it's over, you're glad that there's still a second version to come. And this one then is really nothing else than rough and tough.
