A Rocket In Dub
Normal Dub
''For some folks, melancholy is the pleasure of being sad. However, Viktor Hugo's famous saying always applies to A Rocket In Dub - the long sleeping project of Düsseldorf-based producer Stefan Schwander, also known under pseudonyms Antonelli Electric. or Harmonious Thelonious - that recently awoke after having a 17 years long studio nap. Under the alias Leroy Versions, Schwander released a terrific dub-inspired single in 2017. But the dub-laden bass of A Rocket In Dub swings higher, further out. Now it's back. Just a little more relaxed, a little closer to Earth. In the past, A Rocket In Dub tracks were driven by club-leaning atmospheres and taught genres like house and minimal Jamaican dub deepness. Today they dangle more deliberately, with a cruise control at 105 BPM and a classic floating dub-harmonic, in which the off-beats dance contagiously as tripped-up chords. There are also new, partly unusual sounds sources, such as classic Caribbean steel drum melodies or the looped noise of a rolling train that functions as a groove rhythm to send a track like ''Train Dub'' on a weightless bass journey.
All nine tracks also distribute the feeling as if they were traditionally created on a mixing console and not welded from dripping sequencer passages and digital groove patterns. A rocket from the past, now decelerating towards the future, minimally accentuated thanks to a skeletonized, transparent groove motor. In the future, all this will get also presented live, because A Rocket In Dub wants to bring its Jet force to the stage in order to create states of limbo in the presence of human matter. It should also be mentioned that ''Normal Dub'' comes as a 4x7-inch box with screen-printed cover and sees the light of the day on a new label: Krachladen Dub, the fresh subdivision of the free-spirited Düsseldorf experimental label Krachladen, which will make more dub inspired music available in the future, seen!''
