| The most fantastic modern dub from West Country
reclusive genius Ott, who’s new album really is ‘over
the top’ in quality, depth and shinning brilliance. Spacey
strings, chants, otherworldly noises and pertinent samples collide
with his massive rub-a-dub beats and bass. Ott’s music is
a world to it’s own, a pure undiluted atmospheric world of
swirling stoned sound and colour. Indian to Arabic to African Ott’s
dub’s are boundary-less and boundless in their, scope and
strength. Ott’s music is a paradox of dub, not stereotypically
slow heavy sounds but at once an upbeat dancey dub full of light,
world chants and funky beats, while still maintaining a slow and
relaxed ambient groove. Following on from his recent ‘Hallucinogen
In Dub’ album (TWSCD16) for Twisted the solo album is a selection
of clean hard grooves and the best dub studio skills, echo, delay,
phasing, instruments popping up out of the murk and then submerging
again, skills of which Ott is a particular maestro.
Ott is no stranger to the studio, he has for the last 20 years
been producing arranging and recording some of the most famous artists
including Sinead O'Connor, The Orb, and Brian Eno. Working in a
wide range of the best studios in the land from SARM East and West,
Real World, and Ridge Farm to Foel in Wales. He has been interviewed
in the producers/engineers bible Sound on Sound and is currently
managed by Strongroom Management UK. He continues to work with many
famous artists and along his travels has met up with our own master
producer Simon Posford aka Hallucinogen, editing Shpongle. After
hearing his studio skills Simon commissioned him to make this modern
dub album as an antithesis to his own hurtling psy-trance music.
The results are as you
shall see, startling, a stunning example of modern dub and one that
is sure to be massive with all dance music and ambient music fans
across the globe.
