"Hot electronix by Marco Bernardi and a super sweet remix by Kettel and Octogen! Minimalistic electronix with a touch of cut-up 4-to-the-floor techno and weird vocals. Kettel delivers another great remix with stunning melodies and soft rolling beats. Very nice and gentle!"

"Swamp Boulevard is a 5 track EP with a versatile selection of his forthcoming album. Main track is the sweet 'Swamp Boulevard.' Dijf Sanders is probably the very first singer and songwriter who does it fully electronical. The title track is a jazzy pop track where Dijf sings in his typical way... one of those tracks that makes you happy to be happy. Dijf sings, plays the guitar, and programs the electronica, Jon Birdsong (the former trumpetist of Beck) plays trumpet like there never has been a Miles Davis and contrabass is played by Benjamin Dousselaere. The flip side is even more versatile and more electronical (as you are probably used to with the releases on DUB). 'Cheerleader Memorial' is basically too beautiful to be real. Stunning melodies and jazzy electronica beats with another trade mark of Dijf...his very strange sounding guitar. Then we have 'For Your Ass Only' which is kind of a love song, a tribute to a beautiful girl... makes you feel like being in love again. And last track is the very jazzy 'Jizz.' A track that sounds like it has been recorded somewhere in the '50s in a dark obscure jazz club in France."

"Dijf Sanders is a young classic trained musician from Antwerp Belgium. He is living in his small apartment with his 2 cats and his piano and a little home studio. Somehow he never has been connected or influenced by any musical scene or direction and has been the kind of musician you hardly meet these days... Not following any hype or technological trend. Not following other musicians (he has no contemporary artists like Autechre, Aphex twin, Savath & Savalis in his record collection). Not having an internet connection at home, never goes to clubs. But to be honest we think he very well might create a small hype around his debut album Mating Season. Dijf perfectly blended his classical training with his homestudio and came with a completely own and original tracks. His calm way of living shines thru in this record which brings very sweet, emotional and almost innocent music. Don't expect Hi-tech Autechre or EOG kind of programming, don't expect craziness like Aphex Twin and Otto von Schirach or pseudo intellectual white kids hip hop or moody indie-tronix like Tortoise...but do expect the debut of Dijf Sanders. Probably some bits and pieces from each of the above mentioned artists...but then the Dijf way. It seems that he is just a very talented musician who has been producing tracks as expression for his emotions and moods during every day live. For years and years he has been making tracks and it seems that now is the moment that he finally is happy enough with the results."

DUB 010CD

"Mini album with nine classic American pop songs from the 50/60's in a surprising contemporary style. A project of Rotterdam based producer Like A Tim and singer Gina V. D'Orio (Cobra Killer/Ec8or) from Berlin. All tracks sung by D'Orio are accompanied only by a TB-303 bassline and an occasional subtle synth. And believe me, every song sparkles of the vinyl which is packed in lush picture-sleeve with a layer of glossy varnish. 'I'm a fan of old rock 'n' roll and girl-group music from the fifties and sixties. In 2001 I produced fifteen tracks and went to Berlin to record Gina's vocals. But the general sound of those backing tracks was kind of boring with standard sounds like harp, strings and drums. The project was put away for a year and in 2003 I came up with the idea of giving it a minimal treatment with the 303.'"

"Remember the Boomoperators track on Men with boxes? This is some kind of remix thing of that track. The Funcken Brothers went into the studio with the original bits and pieces of the track and came out with two totally different versions. Beside the original version (and the a capella which is pretty classic hip hop stuff in the eyes of electronica fans (can be compared with Cannibal Ox stuff), we have Funckarma mix 1 (Vocal plus instrumental) which is very laidback almost dubby with a bouncing bass line. And even tho its not classic hip hop...it still has a very strong hip hop feel in it and it is very relaxed and clean compared to the second mix.... The second mix is an avantgarde cut up masterpiece (vocal and instr.)! Beats jumping to all sides and vocals going through all possible effects and falling right back at the place they should be."

"Phako's 1st full length CD release containing his new Bolnes EP and the Bolnes Fragmented EPof late 2001. The Bolnes shipyard has been a big influence for Phako during the last 1.5 years he has been living there. This album contains works he produced in his studio at the Bolnes shipyard and basically is a compilation of his Dub EPs including some extra works like a remix for Math which has been released on Music aus Strom and a bonus quick time movie with the works of 010 (a video artists who supports Phako and other artists like Speedy J and EOG) with video art during his live performances. The music is ranging from minimal abstract morphing electronica to more musical jazzy electronica...raw and smooth like sweet and sour. Bolnes/Shipyards and engineering co.ltd. is a challenging and entertaining album at the same time! Another high quality DUB CD!"

"Phako's 'Bolnes' was the first EP inspired on his studio an living space in a old dock called Bolnes in the Harbour of Rotterdam...this follow up EP picks it up where the Bolnes Fragmented EP stopped... Very surprising (at least for those who know Phako's previous releases) is the openings track which is a fusion between Jazzanova and Autechre... very jazzy electronica ...very raw and smooth at the same time...just perfect how it is! The rest of the tracks are more minimal and more machine based tracks which are driven by cut up rolling machine rhythms and floating on the smooth morphing sounds which creates an nice abstract atmosphere..exactly as the Bolnes docks which is full of old machines and cranes but with empty docksides and without the usual business of a busy harbour and the strange abstract atmosphere which comes along with this empty dock."

"Dub is proud to present Men With Boxes. This compilation brings together some of their friends to collaborate on this masterpiece album. Fine musicians such as Speedy J (Warp/Nova mute/+8) together with Math aka Quench (DUB), D'arcangelo (Rephlex), Funckarma, EOG, Michael Fakesh, Chris de Luca aka. Funkstorung (M.A.S./K7), Andre Estermann (M.A.S), Phako (DUB), Marco Passarani (Nature), and Eaven (Funckarma vs Speedy J), make this album not only a bargain but also a joy to listen to. Speedy J vs Math kick it all off with their battle for tough hip hop style beats and chopped vocals, and Passarani layers his beats simply to make you bounce your head form side to side, whilst Andre Estermann moves with the aptly named gentle track 'Fragile'. D'Arcangelo warms it all up with 'Certy' and Boomoperators finish with their take on it all, enticing you to go back to the beginning and start again. For a project like this Dub left no stone unturned, even the artwork has been done by one of the most influential second generation graffiti artists around, Delta. This release comes as a limited double album vinyl version and CD and need to be tracked down, fast."

"Killer record by Phako. 6 tracks of advanced musical science. Rolling cut up beats with deep layers of sounds. The whole record is inspired by the new studio location of Phako...an old ship dock in the harbour of Rotterdam (called Bolnes) where all the machines and cranes etc are still working. Where the first Phako EP was inspired by melancholic innercity sounds...this one is more on the mechanical tip. Powerfull mechanical rolling machine rhythms with with floating sounds like the river passing by the docks. The tracks ranging from naked industrial beats to more floating electronica with rolling beats and even a deep minimal 4/4 beat driven track. The record comes in a great full color sleeve also inspired on the Bolnes docks and machines. (Essential for fans of the latest releases on Schematic, Chocolate ind., Autechre, Richard Devine)."

"Limited 12" taken from the highly rated DUB CD. On this CD you'll find a selection of released and unreleased tracks ,and we thought it would be a sweet idea to select 4 pieces of the unreleased section for a fine EP for all the vinyl junkies out there. And what a selection. Syndrone's 'P.and U.' , L'usines rmx of Funckarma's 'Fog' , Cospagon with the killer track 'Bitch' and Quench with its ultra deep 'Bin'. Twisted electronica from the minds from highly talented urban producers mixing up peoples mind with funky complex dislocated & broken beats (sounds like a paradox?but it is what it is), fascinating sonic structures and emotional loaded melodies. This will be future classic."

"Intricately laid IDMania from Mr. Travis from the South, three tracks from his Merck records debut; Triskaideka", "Tedow" (incorrectly labeled as "Could We"), and "Intrinlrrr" with one vinyl exclusive, "Mtwat" (Missing Those Who Aren't There). A very impressive display of tag-team melody/rhythm programming (esp. given the ridiculously outmoded MOD construction environment used within; akin to carving Mount Rushmore w/a toothpick). Above average use of harmonic material; gives the tracks the illusion of 'music'. Quite good." -- Hrvatski.

"A DUB compilation with some of the coolest tracks taken from the vinyl releases and some new and unreleased works exclusive to this CD release. Known and unknown talented artists somehow connected to the DUB label with advanced modern electronical music for everybody's pleasure. The music, which is ranging from moody to more energetic or more challenging, is a presentation of works which appeared on the DUB label in the last year and which will be released in forthcoming times. Artists such as Funckarma already created a fuzz with their 12"'s and of course with their brilliant debut album. But also unknown people like Autophonic and Quench both from the Netherlands and German Swap (known for their release on the Music Aus Strom label) and the American producers L'usine and Syndrone (who just released his debut EP on DUB) show that they are among the best producers in the electronical field. People as Autechre, Funkstorung, Speedy J are a few names often referred to when the DUB label is mentioned, but this album again proves that artists such as EOG, Funckarma, and Phako have their own sound and comparing them with other people won't do them justice. I consider these tracks as true listening pearls, just listen and enjoy them..." -- Serge @ Clone
