"CARNIVAL"

"CARNIVAL" è una narrazione musicale che si sviluppa simultaneamente in spazi e momenti diversi; Mixer lunghi come tavole da surf pronti a cavalcare la grande onda, sciamani e taumaturghi, orde di esploratori e navicelle di cosmonauti, frammenti di specchi, 808, un Sound System o forse il castello di Ludwig II di Baviera, l’estasi negli occhi della tigre ed un carro allegorico.
Siamo a Nottingh Hill eppure sembra di stare a Trench Town, forse nella notte in un club di Berlino per poi svegliarsi la mattina del giorno seguente a Belleville, spade laser, ad Harlem come ad Atlanta, ovunque, catene d’oro, grillz di diamanti, toni vaporosi e palme; infine una scatola Cinese.
(Potrebbe contenere ospiti).
"CARNIVAL" is a musical narration, which develops simultaneously in different spaces and moments; Mixers as long as surfboards ready to ride the great wave, shamans and thaumaturges, hordes of explorers and cosmonaut spacecraft, fragments of mirrors, 808, a Sound System or perhaps Ludwig II castle in Bavaria, ecstasy in the eyes of the tiger and a parade float.
We are in Nottingh Hill and yet it seems to be in Trench Town, perhaps in the night in a Berlin club and then wake up the following morning in Belleville, lightsabers, in Queens as in Atlanta, everywhere, gold chains, diamond grillz , vaporous tones and palm trees; finally a Chinese box.

Taken from Jah Shaka's Dub Salute series, a monograph celebrating the Zulu King of Sound System Culture.
Jah Shaka, DUB SALUTE 3 featuring Willie Williams.
“A keening sound cuts you, trailing a tail like a comet. Shaka playing his harp, then syn-drum; he hits it with a drumstick or plays it with his hands, the abstract texture melodies that race like liquid neon through each vein. This is a music, a great improvisation, that goes beyond reggae or any other musical division. Almost beyond physical music, into the mystic; sheets of energy shooting from the barricading standing store speakers”.
Vivien Goldman
By the 1970s, the “Shaka System” was in full effect, and Shaka had become a key figure within the British dancehall and dub scenes.
Shaka’s system quickly gained a large and loyal following due to his unique mix of profoundly spiritual content, high-energy rhythms, and unmatched, sonorous sound.

Not so much a true dub version but maybe a dub companion album, Dub Setter features remixes, dubs, outtakes, and “radical reworks” with Perry and Sherwood's Mighty Upsetter album as the source. Make note, these “reworks” are extra “radical,” as in unexpected, even from these two dub mavericks. After two thick and dank dubs that sound like the duo's 1990 effort From the Secret Laboratory but without all the robotics, Dub Setter dives into the unclassifiable with the slow, soft fusion of “Lucky Tarzan,” a cut featuring plenty of sax, gypsy violins, and a solid reggae bassline. Sherwood's work with the Asian Dub Foundation is a heavy influence on the tabla-filled “Elixir of Life,” but nothing in either of the duo’s back catalogs sounds like the exotic “Taboo,” which could be passed off as a Jamaican house band recording Salon music for a David Lynch soundtrack. Every clever and outlandish idea is anchored by full-bodied grooves, and when it comes to sonics, this is a warm, dynamic sound field that's prime for an attentive headphone listen. Highly recommended for the musically adventurous, but Perry fans with expectations should be warned that the album does tip toward Sherwood, and even in Scratch's wildly varied discography, a slow, sumptuous dub album with tablas and some Euro-nostalgia is still a curveball.

Special Guest del terzo episodio di CARNIVAL è Tenor Vapor.
Mirko Cubaiu aka Tenor Vapor, ascoltatore eclettico ed attento, utilizza la tecnica del mixaggio come principale strumento espressivo; da sempre appassionato di musica e cultura reggae, proprio come la sua città natale: Savona.
Esponente di spicco della scena Vapor dub Italiana, soprannominato “The Plug“, si è messo in mostra nel circuito internazionale proponendo i suoi mix inediti, in cui instaura un dialogo tra il passato ed il presente in una dialettica atta da una parte a rileggere i grandi classici della musica reggae, dub, e black per estensione, dall'altra invece attenta alle nuove releases, proponendo una propria visione spoglia dai simboli convenzionali e rivolta allo sviluppo autonomo di una nuova estetica, in una parola: VAPOR DUB.
Le atmosfere sperimentali proposte nei suoi miscelati musicali hanno avuto l’apprezzamento ed il supporto di emergenti di spicco come Moistune e Kronersound, oltre che di mostri sacri quali Biga Ranx, O.b.f, Mungo’s HI-FI e Greenlightsoundsystem, con i quali sta collaborando a delle releases ufficiali.

Mirko Cubaiu aka Tenor Vapor, eclectic and attentive listener, uses the mixing technique as his main expressive tool; always passionate about reggae music and culture, just like his hometown: Savona.
Prominent exponent of the Italian Vapor dub scene, nicknamed "The Plug", he has shown himself on the international circuit by proposing his unpublished mixes, in which he establishes a dialogue between past and present in a dialectic suitable on the one hand to reinterpret the great classics of reggae music, dub and black by extension, on the other attentive to new releases, proposing its own vision stripped of conventional symbols and aimed at the autonomous development of a new aesthetic, in a word: VAPOR DUB.
The experimental atmospheres proposed in his musical mixes have had the appreciation and support of important emerging artists such as Moistune and Kronersound, as well as sacred monsters such as Biga Ranx, O.b.f, Mungo's HI-FI and Greenlightsoundsystem, with whom he is collaborating on some press releases. officers.

Il secondo episodio di "CARNIVAL" si intitola Vapore Mix, mélange musicale a cura del guest Sealow, in collaborazione con la web radio Astarbene.
Sealow, all’anagrafe Simone Patti, nasce a Roma nel 1993, ed è proprio nel fertile ambiente indipendente della capitale che troverà gli input necessari per intraprendere un percorso musicale tutto suo, fatto di ritmi in levare e potenti bassi caraibici, progressioni New Soul ed un linguaggio inevitabilmente influenzato, da una parte, dal mondo del Rap a cavallo tra la vecchia e la nuova scuola, e dall’altra dalla importante corrente del cantautorato italiano.
Dopo aver ulteriormente allargato i suoi orizzonti con la fondazione del collettivo “Astarbene.com” (un portale dedicato a 360 gradi al mondo della musica Reggae e delle sue derivazioni affiancato da una Web Radio) e forte di una ormai importante gavetta, il cantante romano si lancia nella pubblicazione di una serie di singoli che lo porteranno ad affinare il suo stile unico e personale, in cui possiamo trovare un piccolo pezzo di ogni tappa del suo percorso, ma sempre con una sfaccettatura inedita.
Nel 2020 entra a far parte del roster della label “Macro Beats” (già etichetta e rampa di lancio di artisti come Ghemon, Mecna e CRLN).
Il cantante romano è la sintesi perfetta tra linguaggio metropolitano, ritmi in levare e ambientazioni proprie della nuova scuola Urban mondiale. Nel 2020 ha debuttato ufficialmente con l’album “Onde”.
The second episode of "CARNIVAL" is titled Vapore Mix, a musical mélange by the host Sealow, in collaboration with the web radio Astarbene.
Sealow, born Simone Patti, was born in Rome in 1993, and it is precisely in the fertile independent environment of the capital that he will find the necessary ideas to embark on a musical journey of his own, made of cheerful and powerful Caribbean bass rhythms, New Soul progressions and a language inevitably influenced, on the one hand, by the world of Rap between old and new school, and on the other by the important current of Italian songwriting.
After having further broadened his horizons with the foundation of the collective "Astarbene.com" (a portal dedicated to the world of Reggae music and its derivations flanked by a Web Radio) and thanks to an apprenticeship by now important, the Roman singer launches in the publication of a series of singles that will lead him to refine his unique and personal style, in which we can find a small piece of each stage of his journey, but always with an unprecedented facet.
In 2020 he joined the roster of the "Macro Beats" label (former label and springboard for artists such as Ghemon, Mecna and CRLN).
The Roman singer is the perfect synthesis of metropolitan language, cheerful rhythms and typical settings of the new global Urban school. In 2020 he officially debuted with the album "Waves".
