We are a bit impartial to a bit of The Doors on this blog and someone must have spotted it when sending this in. The independent video  for this dubbish remix of ‘People Are Strange‘ is fantastically shot and very entertaining.

The Legendary producer and songwriter Daniel Lanoi is debuting his newest project Black Dub this month and we believe it to be very good.

He’s enlisted the help of Brian Blade, Daryl Johnson and most noticeably the vocal wizardry of Trixie Whitley whose silky jazz vocals give this track an old school soul feel. With graceful melodies and Peggy Lee Fever esque percussion this record has the foundations of a modern classic with a twist.

Black Dub – I Believe In You

Easy Star All-Stars is a talented collective that incorporates some of New York’s finest Reggae musicians. They have found their niche in recreating subliminal dub/reggae versions of legendary albums. So far they have released a version of Pink Floyd‘s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ and Radiohead‘s ‘OK Computer’ and hopefully there will be more to come.

I first got into the band through their amazing ‘Dub Side Of The Moon‘. Presenting these rearranged tracks in the same order as the original album was a stroke of genius and the bands authentic reworkings manages to amplify Pink Floyd‘s sense of psychedelia and mystique. Its a real pleasure to hear illustrious songs like ‘Speak to Me/Breathe (In the Air)’ and ‘Money’ in new light.

I was naturally delighted when their next release ‘Radiodread‘ came out in late 2006. ‘OK Computer’ was such a seminal album and many of the songs like ‘Karma Police’ and ‘No Surprises’ and ‘Paranoid Android’ are instantly recognised around the world but believe it or not Easy Star All-Star breath new life into them. My selection of Lucky, perhaps a lesser known track from the original album, is owed largely to the fact that this rendition is majestic.

So sit back, light up a fat jay and float away like these tracks always intended you to do.
