Pensi meets Dub Me Ruff – Generation Of Change (12")
13,90 €*
Here comes a special tribute to Hamburg’s dub and sound system history
of the 90s - an important chapter for dub and reggae music in Germany on
a whole. One of the local veterans, Pensi, also known as the man behind
Ire Hi-Fi, meets Dub Me Ruff at the Sound Navigator Studio. An
unearthed gem from that era entitled ‘Generation Of Change’.The
infamous ‘Dub Me Ruff System’-dubplate-mixtape from the 90s, which was
run heavily on cassette by fans and collectors alike, featured a vocal
cut and one dub. This and some dances at the time were the only way one
could hear the tune. We just had to get in touch with Pensi directly,
and carefully inquire if there could be a chance to release it after all
those years properly. To our joy he was excited about the project and
went back into his archive and found the original DAT-tapes and some
lost mixes. We are honored to now present to you, transferred from those
DATs at Soon Come Studio (a project run by Pensi and a collective of
Hamburg producers nowadays) and freshly remastered and cut at Star Delta
in the UK, this first ‘90s salute’ from 1995 on 12inch vinyl. Vocal
plus three wonderful dub excursions crafted by Danielle ‘Yell’
Mommertz, with her going heavier on the fx with each mix - from ‘gentle’
to ‘Iration style’.The lyrics could not be more fitting today and
seem to not have lost any relevance almost 30 years after they were
written. A powerful message on an uncompromising roots riddim à la dub
me ruff.
