Irish Moss Records: Dirty Dubsters - Queens of Reggae EP


Dirty Dubsters feat. Whandah “The Dainty Queen” and Chantelle Ernandez

Queens of Reggae EP

Those skanking bass mash monsters, The Dirty Dubsters, are here once again for the second release on the newly minted Irish Moss label. This time the vocal duties are firmly in the hands of the ladies,

First up is Wandah the Dainty Queen on “Need to Leave You” who rids herself of her no good man with her direct but graceful flow as the Dubsters slide some deep bass, droning trumpets, an acid line and even a hint of the beatles. Flip for a tough bashment treatment courtesy of Greece’s Blend Mishkin.

Next up is on a funky reggae tip, with Jamaican Chantelle Ernandez on “One Day” and a tale of karmic retribution, as her soulful vocals soar above the Dubster’s dubby hip hop groove. On the remix rota the unmistakable sound of remixes of canada’s Jpod flipping the script completely and turning out a hard bass squelshing beat that suits the vocal sublimely.

Out on Irish Moss Records (Digital) on the 7th April 2011
