The dub reggae scene is alive and well in Los Angeles! The long running Dub Club has made its presence felt in the world wide reggae scene. The man behind the club, Tom Chasteen, has teamed up with Jamaican artist Tippa Lee to produce the forthcoming Foundation Come Again. Along with creating some epic rhythms the duo was able to work with many of the dancehall icons that have graced the stage of the celebrated Dub Club. In anticipation of the full length, Chasteen has jumped behind the boards and taken a turn at dubbing out the whole affair in one take, straight to tape. The result is Signs and Wonders in Dub, a master class in dub's limitless possibilities. As much as the skilled selector was able to carve out space within the tunes, he was mindful of the dancers, keeping the rhythm ever present. Limited edition, individually hand screen-printed covers.
