Dread Bass Chronicles, The
The Dread Bass Chronicles from Kush Arora is a post-dancehall world where MCs embrace a far more futuristic sound quality. The San Francisco producer has assembled MCs from all over the world (Warrior Queen (Ninja Tune), Juakali (Dub War/Sub Swara), MC Zulu (Ninja Tune/Project Blowed) and the fast rising Bongo Chilli (R8 Records), N4SA, and Wiseproof) and put them on dancehall tracks that carry with them an industrial sound quality resulting in a truly unique dub experience. This isn’t a project that exploits genre mashing: this is a project that takes a census of the global makeup of bass driven, raga music, and fuses those elements seamlessly together. With the subject matter ranging from being an immigrant to dealing with authority, The Dread Bass Chronicles is a sonically pleasing album that provides a glimpse into the future sounds of dancehall music.
