Artist:
Dr. Trippy
Title:
Indubian
Label:
Disco Gecko
Released:
29th April
Another
E.P. of his self-titled Punjabi Swamp Music comes in conjunction with
two
live shows at the end of this month: The
King Arthur in Glastonbury on Saturday
April 30th
and a free show a The
Plough Inn in Easton, Bristol on Sunday
May 1st.
The
good Doctor begins with 'Amber and the Snakecharmer' where
a synth intro leads into distorted flutes and an Indian vocal before
the reggae M.C. takes over with accompaniment by the snake charmer
which is later joined by some female vocals and overall provides a
nice introduction to the release. This is followed by 'Raj Against
The Machine' which kicks off with some tablas before a melting pot of
electronic fusion packed full of Jamacian and Indian vibes with some vocal
snippets that we've come to expect of the Dr. Trippy sound.
The
next track '1215' takes a somewhat slow n heavy approach where
dubbed out male vocals clash with the female before an Indian male
choral takes over. This
leads us to 'Who Know's' which begins far more melodic than the
previous tracks. That is until the scratching kicks in and the piece
jumps to life with lots of sequenced loops and a grating glitchy
undertone. The
E.P. comes to a close with 'Holey Moley' a slow paced number again
injected with Indian and Jamaican vocals and a soothing sax .. just what
the doctor ordered.
For
me this release didn't have quite the same impact as his last one
'Punjabi Swamp Music' that said it's not a bad little selection of
tracks to add to the collection.
