Moonshine Recordings レコード& CD

Review: Polish label Moonshine Recordings kicks off a new series that is helmed for the first time by Bukkha. It's a potent two tracker that opens with 'Planet I-N-I' which is a heavily dubbed out cut with bottomless subs and ice cold hits, tons of reverb and ricochetting sounds as well as some dub-wise vocals that drift in and out to heady effect. On the flip side is 'Night Out' (feat Roger Robinson), another smooth, serene and hypnotic dub techno cut marbled with static and vinyl crackle as well as some pensive words from Robinson. Both of these need to be heard as loud as can be for maximum impact.

Review: Big feline dub from Poland by Tubby Isiah; the Rising High LP was initially released in 2020 and now sees another loving reissue after 2022, with a brand new, maned album cover, capturing the big-snouted, sabre-toothed dub-to-dubstep mood that first enthralled us five years ago. With no new additions to the tracklist, Moonshine are rightfully loyal to the originals, evidencing their respect for the proverbial jungly king: the tracks are finely sculpted specimens, scooping out ideal titrations and bandings of bass and mid, producing skeletal but hugely dynamic thoraxes of sound.
