ALDBS 7015EP
|
For Alchemy Dub's twentieth vinyl release, and fifteenth 7", the label presents a new collaboration between Ojah and Nik Torp. The A side contains the track "Over Yonder", an instrumental track featuring wonderful melodica melodies courtesy of Nik Torp, keyboard player from The Specials. It's an introspective and meditative track with a positive twist that was written during the first UK lockdown, and that invites the listener to look to the future, to the other side, to look over yonder. On the B side you find "Over Yonder Dub", a minimalist dub version mixed live by Ojah with analog effects that takes you on a trip deep down the echo chamber.

For Alchemy Dub's first release of 2021, they present their fourteenth 7", a new collaboration between Ojah and Don Fe. The A side contains the track "Lockdown Hope", which was written and recorded during the first lockdown of 2020. It's an uplifting track that invites the listener to dance and dream, bringing optimism with a mix of tough yet alluring militant drums that contrast with the ethereal and inspiring melodies of Don Fe's flute. On the B side you find "Lockdown Dub", a stripped-down dub version mixed by Ojah that they hope will give you that sound system dance vibe that we're all missing.

The last release of 2020 for Alchemy Dubs, and the thirteenth release on 7" format, is a new collaboration between Ojah and Nik Torp, keyboard player from The Specials. The A side contains the track "Notting Hill", a tribute to the famous carnival featuring sounds of the vintage and rare Yamaha SK-20 organ played by Nik over a riddim formed by '80s and '90s synths and drum machines. Underlying the whole riddim is the recording of a baby's heartbeat in the womb. On the B side, you find a dub version as is customary, sparse and full of FX, reminiscent of those open-air dub sessions at Notting Hill Carnival, mixed live by Ojah on his analog console. Produced by Ojah, recorded at Alchemy Dubs Studio, London. Organ by Nik Torp, recorded at Eastcote Studio 4, London. Mixed and mastered by Oscar Pablos "Ojah" at Alchemy Dubs Studio, London, 2020. Graphic design by Victor Castro. Edition of 350, hand-stamped and hand-numbered.
