Thanks for the support!! On the press side of things it has been nuts!!!! Here some reviews for u to check out!!!!! TIME OUT NEW YORK Dub Gabriel, who's spent a career fusing subterranean bass to sun-baked rhythms and modern dub technique, sure has a wide range of friends. Anarchy & Alchemy features guest turns from Yo! Majesty, Hanoi Rocks bassist Sami Yaffan and R.E.M. mumbler Michael Stipe, the latter singing on a relatively faithful cover of Suicide's 1977 synth lullaby "Cheree." That track's somewhat of an anomaly on an album that, elsewhere, melds the stark soundscapes of dubstep with the lushness of world-fusion beats. From the tabla-heavy, grimy rhythms of "Mash Out" to the hypnotically bubbling "La Vie s'Envole," Gabriel proves as adept at the genre-smashing game as anyone around.__Dub Gabriel plays at Deep Space Mon 17.__— Bruce Tantum__http://www.timeout.com/newyork/articles/clubs/68714/dub-gabriel WIRE MAGAZINE (UK) Relocation from NYC to SF has brought a degree of clarity about the_things of value to be retained on this new album, Dub Gabriel's most_realised and best so far, a move away from the explorations of 2005's_Bass Jihad and more towards what has become a wider mainstream in the_intervening years. No instrumentals here and not so much dubbing these_days either, but the preoccupation with bass still dominates; opening_the set is JahDan (Blakkamoore) fresh from the We Are Raiders E.P._with Matt Shadetek and DJ/Rupture in upscale smooth bashment style on_"Chasing the Paper" followed by Karen Gibson Roc spat spoetics on_"Spirit Made Flesh" which, to my ears, utilises a direct and_intelligent lift of a Scratch produced female vocal scat from Superape_days on a Black Ark style shifting shuffle rhythm – perhaps the_highlight of the set if it weren't for the presence of REM's Michael_Stipe on a reverential reading of Suicide's "Cheree" – with an string_arrangement that at time evokes an early Velvet's dissonance._Juakali's jump-up "Mashup" has an urgency that makes an understanding_of the lyric unnecessary whilst the centrepiece of the set, Judith_Juileratt's "La Vie Senvole" has minimally undulating electric keys_straight out of a Martin Rev tutuorial but with the nouveaux doo wop_styling replaced by a dolorously whispered tale in French. All these_are enough for the memory of the weaker, some might say 'iller',_tracks to evaporate by the album's end._-Steve Barker_http://www.thewire.co.uk/ BLOGGERTRONIX (CANADA) Dub Gabriel's sophomore release, was 2 years in the making and is nothing short of an eclectic treasure chest of diverse sounds, flavours snagged from all over the globe, masterfully stirred up and given his unique Dub flavour.__Gabriel's last release, 2005's 'Bass Jihad' received much attention from mainstream and indie media alike, a heavy bass drenched, cultural fusion of electronic musical genius. The album was virtually vocal free, and brimmed with influences from all over the world.__Unlike Gabriel's debut, the new record is thick with steller guest vocalists, legendary singers, and mc's rocking tracks along side equally deadly, on the rise talent.__It isn't often that such seriously diverse artists meld together so well on one record.__'Anarchy & Alchemy' begins with a dark and brooding track about mans obsession with money, 'Chasing The Paper' features vocals by Brooklyn's Jah Dan. The tune flows smoothly into the next track, a trippy reggae number with a 60's vibe entitled 'Spirit Made Flesh'. This tune carries the spoken word vocals of NYC based poet and singer Karen Gibson, it's truly hypnotic, a song swollen with reverb and lose yourself grooves.__Highlights for me include the atmospheric, 'La Vie S'envole' featuring Judith Juillerat's spoken vocals, a really beautiful track, calming and deep. The lyrics are in french, I'm pretty weak in this language at the best of times, so I'm not totally sure what she's talking about, but that's not an issue...she could be talking about chopping up little bunnies with a hacksaw and I'd be spun to heaven listening to this music... lost.__Another brilliant track on the other end of the audio spectrum is 'Run Down', which features the voices of New York's 'No Surrender'. Jarring electronic screeching, the heavy machinery drone of bass and smart, dark lyrics are top shelf on this song. 'No Surrender' are one of my favorite New York bands, so this is a real treat for me....if you don't know of them you should.__'Anarchy & Alchemy' is put to bed, tucked in tightly with a song featuring vocals by Michael Stipe (REM), soft hushed lyrics of love, pulsing drums, definite piano and soaring violins, make 'Cheree' a delicious song to lay to album to rest.__This album has is all...if you're a Basshead, theres something for you, if you're a Hip-hop-face there's goodness for you too, Dub-body? sorted, and if you're looking for something really different, emotionally charged and exciting, you must check this out.__Other guest artists featured on the record: Sami Yaffa (New York Dolls), Yo Majesty (Domino records), Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto), Dr. Israel, Kali Boom, Juakali, 77Klash. http://bloggertronix.com/2008/11/28/dub-gabriel--true-electronic-dub-mashup-master.aspx?ref=rss CYCLIC DEFROST MAGAZINE (AUSTRALIA) Dub Gabriel – Anarchy & Alchemy (Destroy All Concepts)_Published by Chris Downton at November 27, 2008 in Reviews Issue 21._Brooklyn, NYC-based dub / downbeat producer Dub Gabriel certainly managed to make some waves in all the right critical circles with his impressive 2005 debut album 'Bass Jihad', with his bass-meets-ragga explorations calling to mind the likes of Rhythm & Sound and Stereotyp whilst receiving plaudits from both the WIRE and XLR8R. Three years on, this follow-up on Gabriel's own Destroy All Concepts label sees him pretty much picking up the baton directly from where 'Bass Jihad' left off, with Dr. Israel, Yo Majesty and Meat Beat Manifesto's Mark Pistel appearing amongst an impressive guest list on ten tracks that increasingly show the influence of dubstep rising to the surface. 'Chasing The Paper' certainly provides a suitably adrenalin-surging opening gambit, with Jahdan's rich ragga-soul vocals taking things into suitably doomy and apocalyptic territory ("for the money some people will sell anything / for the money some people will kill anything') over a writhing backdrop of surging sub-bass swells and flickering, off-beat rhythms that highlights the aforementioned Stereotyp comparison.__From there, 'Spirit Made Flesh' calls to mind one of Ursula Rucker's urban beat poet sessions gone spectral dub as her limber vocals tumble out over a lazy, swinging backdrop of lovers' rock bass, metallic offbeats and vast dubbed-out sweeps, before the digitally-contorted 'Rundown' brings the hard-edged hiphop stylings to the fore as No Surrender alternately attack and croon into the mic. While dub / hiphop / dubstep offers up the main part of the menu throughout the ten tracks on offer here, it's with some of the more unexpected genre digressions here that some of the biggest highlights arrive. 'La Vie Senvole' sees Judith Juileratt contributing a breathy vocal performance that calls to mind a Gallic Laurie Anderson as gentle, minimalist electronic rhythms and burbles pulse back and forth amidst harpsichord-like analogue synths, before REM's Michael Stipe takes the vocal spot for perhaps the most surprising closer of all, a cover of Suicide's 'Cheree' that replaces the original version's feedback for soaring strings and harp elements – while it's certainly effective stuff, it manages to call to mind Stipe's 'main' band far more than any of the other tracks on this album. An excellent second album from Dub Gabriel that further cements his status as a producer to keep an eye on. http://www.cyclicdefrost.com/blog/?p=258 ZIKADDICT (FRANCE) Connu et reconnu pour son adresse à unir des genres disparates et des sonorités provenant du _monde entier (du Moyen-Orient à la Jamaïque en passant par Brooklyn), le pionnier de la 'fusion _globale' nous livre aujourd'hui une nouvelle cargaison de dub protéiforme et multicolore. Un obus _imparable et impeccable ! _DJ globe-trotteur et producteur de beats percutants et loops infectieuses depuis plus de dix ans, _Gabe Freedman (alias Dub Gabriel) est devenu l'une des références incontournables de la scène _electro underground (et multiculturelle) new-yorkaise. Trois ans après nous avoir scotchés avec _l'excellent, Bass Jihad, l'ingénieux manipulateur de sons réitère l'exploit avec Anarchy & Alchemy, _sorti via son propre label (fort bien nommé), Destroy All Concepts ('détruis tous les concepts'). Là _encore, ce nouvel album grise et hypnotise l'auditeur en l'aspirant dans un tourbillon de styles variés _et d'ambiances cette fois-ci définitivement urbaines (c.a.d. : aux teintes plus sombres). Enregistré sur _une période de deux ans entre New-York, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Rio et San Francisco, Dub _Gabriel délaisse néanmoins les résonances 'world' qui firent la gloire de son précédent opus, et nous _terrasse désormais de grooves sourds downtempo, de sonorités mats et de rythmiques _vrombissantes, le tout, paré de collaborations imparables. Le guerrier du dub engagé, Dr Israel, _officie sur le mystique "Battle Of The Righteous Man", la MC de Tampa, Yo Majesty, souligne l'accent _hip-hop de "Pony Girl", Jah Dan s'attaque (sur "Chasing The Paper") au matérialisme ambiant sur _fond de grooves dancehall, Michael Stipe (de REM) donne de la voix sur une reprise très 'Bowie- _esque' du titre "Cheree" (du groupe Suicide), et la liste s'allllllonge… Anarchy & Alchemy est une _collection titres aussi planants que percutants.. à écouter sans modération. http://www.zikaddict.fr/chroniques-disques/mariecartier/dub-gabriel/ BOKSON (FRANCE) Tant qu'il y a de la basse, Dub Gabriel tabasse. C'est ainsi que, depuis plus de dix ans, il se laisse guider par son flair dans les rues de New York, à la rencontre de ceux qui l'ont aidé à devenir culte, qu'ils soient issus de l'electro, du dub ou du hip hop. Et rien qu'à Big Apple, ca fait du monde: du label Wordsound à Public Enemy, en passant par Jamalski, Dr Israel, Badawi, ou Qaballah Steppers, tous ont pris l'habitude de se délecter de sa musique au spectre assez large, tant qu'elle laisse la part belle aux sourds vrombissements. Si «Bass Jihad», son précédent album, a connu un véritable succès en 2005, Dub Gabriel n'a pas pour autant choisi de simplement rééditer l'exploit. Trop simple pour un producteur de son rang. Il a plutôt laissé ce «Anarchy & Alchemy» s'imprégner de son expérience de Dj résident à Berlin, là ou cet album fut composé, pour mieux le ramener ensuite aux Etats-Unis et le proposer à une pléthore de voix, la plupart prestigieuses sans qu'elles parviennent pour autant à lui faire de l'ombre. Un bel exploit quand on voit qu'ont été convié Michael Stipe de REM (sur «Cheree», reprise de Suicide), Yo Majesty, Sami Yafa (New York Dolls), Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto), et Dr Israel pour n'en citer qu'une poignée parmi tous les invités de cette fête un brin mystique («Battle Of The Righteous Man»). Exit les influences world music, le producteur de Brooklyn leur déroule cette fois un long tapis d'une musique planante, définitivement urbaine par son côté sombre, totalement mise à leur service, et laissant la place au propos. Illustration parfaite avec l'ouverture «Chasing The Paper» laissant entière liberté à un Jah Dan s'en prenant au matérialisme, avec l'excellent «Run Down» (feat No Surrender) visant la justice, ou le totalement soporifique «La Vie s'Envole» bercé par le chant français de Judith Juileratt. Heureusement aussi, quelques titres viennent réveiller les morts, apportent une touche plus vitaminée et positive, comme le frais et dansant «Pony Girl» par Yo Majesty, le toast ragga de Juakali sur «Mash Out», ou le rythmiquement appuyé «Crooklyn Clouds» (feat 77Klash). Et bien que ce «Anarchy & Alchemy» soit assez bien mené, finalement assez varié, il lui fallait bien ces quelques éclairs de lumière pour espérer emmener l'auditeur jusqu'au bout de son œuvre. Celui là en sera comblé s'il est un minimum sensible aux terrains de prédilection de Dub Gabriel. __http://www.bokson.net/electro/chronique/3259.html

Balkan Beat Box Remix Dub Gabriel recently was enlisted by Balkan Beat Box and their European Label Crammed Disc to do a remix of their track Hermetico. For the Remix Dub brought onboard San Francisco producer Kush Arora. The two of them together did an amazing remix for the project that will surely kill it on any dance floor.

dub gabriel december newsletter

dubgabriel — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 01:00:23 GMT

Happy Holidays every one! Welcome to the December Newsletter. So Much has been going on. I recently came back from Beijing China which was just amazing, did 3 shows over there including a runway show and party for Givenchy for China fashion week. As soon as I landed went right into the rehearsal room with Yossi Fine for a great gig at the elbow room the following week, packed wall to wall have to thank dj sep for hosting a great night. Right after that gig, it was right back to the studio where I started recording with Mr. Vigs (Sub Oslo) and Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto,Tino Corp, Consolidated, Disposable heroes of hierocracy) We recorded around 15 tracks of Moogs, Oberheims, Glockenspiels, Wurlitzer’s and tons of echoplex and space echos. The following week I was back in the studio with Mark Pistel, this time with Process Rebel mixing down a great new track, Pony Girl with the awesome vocals by Yo Majesty, if u don’t know these girls, keep an eye out, they just signed with Domino records and also just got out of the studio working with Basement Jax. Then yesterday, once again, back in the studio, this time at Hyde Street studio in San Francisco, a legendary studio that has been recording classic albums since the 60s and has a wonderful Neve board. This time I had Mee (Asian Dub Foundation) and Oz Fritz engineering, an amazing engineer who has man the helm on to many Bill Laswel albums to count as well as the last 3 Tom Waits albums, Ramones, Iggy Pop and many others. I brought over all the analog keys that I worked on at Mark Pistels studio and now got to do some fun stuff and bring in a full string section, which was truly amazing.

OCTOBER BAMBU BROTHERS (Azra Records) Bambu Brothers is Dub Gabriel and Kerac, two NYC based multi-media artists. Dub Gabriel (Ascend, Bass Jihad) is one of the leading voices in Dub Music today having performed on stage and recorded with the likes of George Clinton, Bill Laswell, DXT, Bomb Squad and Michael Franti among others. Billboard magazine made it a 'critics' pick' and compared his work to Brian Eno and Bill Laswell. Kerac is a DJ, producer, and professional photographer. Born in New Zealand and of Lebanese descent, he's called New York City home for the past decade. His work takes him around the globe, influencing his musical education and performances. His work as a photographer has graced the pages of Conde' Nast Traveler, Men's Journal, and Islands among others. Together as Bambu Brothers, they bring together Middle Eastern, Indian, and African traditions and melodies with a Dub Sensibility, Brooklyn Backbone, and vintage keys (Moog’s, Calvinets, B3s, MS-20s) NOVEMBER N.I.C. IN DUB (Azra -U.S. / Hammerbass-France) Taking tracks in progress and handing them off to some of the top Dub producers in the world turned out to be a brilliant plan and here are the results.

The list of dubsters includes Dub Gabriel and Infinity, Twilight Circus Dub, Youth (Killing Joke), Dalek, Spectre the Ill Saint, Dr. Marble, JK Flesh, Moth Boy, Teledubgnosis, Amandou Sal, King Salmonella, Kanario d'Bogart, and N.I.C.

LIVE A new live project is in the works with long time friend YOSSI FINE (Ex Centric Soundsystem/ David Bowie / Lou Reed) The new project called DOUBLEBASS is a mixture of live electronics and live instruments deeply rooted in dub but also blends mixtures of electronic, hip hop, dance hall and everything else these mad scientist can think of to throw in its sonic stew. Keep an eye out for shows in November!!! FILM Pre Production is underway for acclaimed Director Tom Gilroy (Spring Forward/IFC Films) in his next production Bad Arab. An interesting tail in the trials of stereotype. Dub Gabriel has been asked to provide the score.

dubgabriel — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 11:28:44 GMT

JANUARY 6 - 12, 2006 Zeitlist: Culture Rock Like an Egyptian a.k.a. The Year in Greg Burk: Metal Went Mideastern, Paul Rodgers became Freddie Mercury, and Diana Krall did not become Ella Fitzgerald by GREG BURK Part One: The Resurgence of Nile-ism The day after the planes hit the towers four years ago, Bush shoulda converted to Islam. Same God, what’s the problem? Instead, just like in one of those reelybad cinémas d’horreur, George blew the lid off hell, releasing all the Mideast’s demons and undamming a Euphrates of blood that’s soaked into the very pores of our collective unconscious. By 2005, the myths of the Fertile Crescent were even hijacking our music. Normally we prefer to take our pharaonic river spirits with a dash of musical comedy, like Duke’s “Caravan” or Sam the Sham or the Bangles or even Sun Ra. But when Bush Sr.’s 1991 Gulf War got cranking, things turned ugly. That year, the Swedish black-metal band Marduk (gore-drenched chief god of Babylon) introduced itself to the world with Fuck Me Jesus, whose cover depicted a nude woman pleasuring herself with a crucifix. South Carolina death-metalers Nile raised up their Egyptian-inspired fist in 1995. East Coast metal impalers Mastodon broke through in 2004 with a combination of Moby Dick theme, iconic graphics and an album titled Leviathan (Phoenicia’s and Isaiah’s dread sea serpent). In the past 12 months, though, the musical counterconquest of the West hit high gear. As in: 1. Nile, Annihilation of the Wicked (Relapse). Between twangly pseudo-Ionian Karl Sanders instros, George Kollias’ double-kick fury tosses you into the turbine and spits you out like hamburger. Typically klassy Relapse cover art. 2. Behemoth, Demigod (Olympic). Formed in 1991 (!), our Polish allies Behemoth (the landgoing Phoenician mythic equivalent to Leviathan) spew surging black metal so fusionistically proficient as to rival Tony Williams at his most insane. Guest spot by Karl Sanders! Love this record. 3. Sothis EP (www.sothis.us). Our local black-metal rippers, named after an Egyptian astral goddess, take infinite care with their tools, from their cunningly balanced song structures to their leather & steel regalia. You want spikes? They got spikes. 4. Isis, Oceanic: Remixes & Reinterpretations (Hydra Head). Though the midtempo meditation of the original 2002 texture slab laid down by these L.A.-via-Boston rockers was masterful, last year’s two-CD abstraction thereof (a repackaging of four vinyl EPs on Robotic Empire) makes you want to drop your rifle and smoke kif till doomsday. 5. Dub Gabriel, Bass Jihad (Azra). Keep smokin’. Good title, too. Nobody spins Middle Eastern loop music quite as hypnotically as this East Coast DJ. 6. Jon Hassell, Maarifa Street: Magic Realism 2 (Nyen). Except maybe, y’know, the guy who virtually invented the form. Loops and samples made out of old loops and samples, yet different in all the details. Kind of like humans. 7. Éthiopiques 19: Mahmoud Ahmed 1974, Alèmyé (Buda Musique). Film albino Jim Jarmusch tapped the amazing Éthiopiques reissue series for the soundtrack to last year’s Broken Flowers. His choice was “Mulatu Astatqe,” from way back at Éthiopiques 4, but this latest Mahmoud Ahmed nugget, with its cyclic thud, woozy horns and droning Vox organ, is just as good: North Africans imitating us imitating them at a time when OPEC’s embargo against nations that supported Israel against Egypt in the 1973 Yom Kippur War caused mile-long lines for 55-cent-a-gallon gas. Those were the days. http://www.laweekly.com/ink/06/07/culture-burk.php

HEY EVERY ONE, COME ON OUT FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND GOING AWAY PARTY (MOVING TO BERLIN!) IT SHOULD BE AN AMAZING NIGHT WITH DJ LEGEND FRANCOIS K. AND JOING ME LIVE WILL BE LEGENDARY LAST POET UMAR BIN HASSAN AND AMANITA TRUMPET MASTER SATISH PLUS SUPRISE GUEST. I'M DOING AN EARLY SET , SO COME OUT EARLY, PLUS IT IS ONLY $5 BEFORE 10PM!!! ALL THE BEST, -DG Monday, October 3rd Deep Space Featuring Francois K. Special Guest Dub Gabriel, Umar Bin Hassan (Last Poets), Satish (trumpet/Amanita) & Suprise Guest (Early Set-10pm-11:30) 9pm @ Cielo 18 Little West 12th Street between Washington Street and 9th Avenue NYC Admission is $10, $5 before 10pm No dress code - just an open mind For additional information visit: www.deepspacenyc.com Step back, all ye wannabe rappers and check out one of the originals who made hip hop possible. Before Africa Bambaata was throwing parties in the Bronx, before Prince Whipper Whip was rocking with the Fantastic 5 and before the Rock Steady Crew ever attempted their first windmills, Umar Bin Hassan and the Last Poets were making rhythm and poetry live on the streets of Harlem. Thirty years later a number of the more socially and politically conscious emcees are planning a tribute album to the Last Poets featuring Common, Bilal, Dead Prez, Chuck D, Keith Murray, Buckshot, Kanye West, Erykah Badu and others. Since 1999, Brooklyn Producer/DJ Dub Gabriel and Last Poets’s founder Umar Bin Hassan have collaborated in many ways. First with Umar’s now legendary appearance on Dub Gabriel’s Baraka Orchestra album, Then with Dub Gabriel and Prof. Shehab releasing Umar’s album produced by Bill Laswell. Gabriel’s Current album “Bass Jihad” is a modern Middle Eastern Dub masterpiece receiving critical praises worldwide. The night will be a celebration of not only the return meeting of these two artist, but also it will be the final show Dub Gabriel will perform before moving to Berlin, Germany
