Haris Pilton: Think Dubby

There are artists whose work is so vast, ever-changing, and stylistically fragmented that you approach each new release with caution—not knowing whether you're in for a hidden gem or a rushed effort. For me, Haris Pilton falls squarely into this category. His output is enormous, his style sometimes erratic, his releases ranging from charming to incomprehensible. But then comes…Think Dubby“– and suddenly there’s an album that feels like a still point in the Pilton universe. A masterpiece. Perhaps even his masterpiece.”
The subtitle alone makes it clear where this is headed: "Haris Pilton Tribute to King Tubby." And indeed, this album doesn't just pay homage to Tubby, it practically worships him. It's about reverence, respect, and allowing a chapter of Jamaican music history to continue to resonate as authentically as possible. Pilton's accompanying text portrays Tubby as what he was: a scientist at the mixing desk, the creator of a musical language, the man who forged spiritual architectures from drum & bass. Pilton picks up where he left off, not only in the aesthetics but also in the ambition.
Anyone who clicks on “Think” DubWhether anyone is actually playing – or even if anyone is playing at all – remains a mystery. Given Pilton's production speed, it's easy to suspect that much of it was created digitally. And yet, the album sounds impressively analog: warm, dusty, vintage. The basslines roll like they're from an old Channel One session, the drums sound dry, the effects – delay, spring reverb, filters – could have come straight from Tubby's lab. It's almost disconcerting how much these tracks reek of 1975. Not in the sense of nostalgic kitsch, but like genuine, honest... Dub-Work from the heyday of the genre. Some of the versions sound so Tubby-esque that you could mistake them for unreleased King Tubby cuts if you listened blindly – ​​if Tubby had been able to master such a powerful sound back then.
Stylistically, the album is leaner, more focused, and more serious than much of what Pilton usually releases. No experiments, no detours – just more classic, more straightforward. DubAnd this focus clearly benefits him. The rhythms are superb: solid foundations, deeply grounded, yet elegant. The mixes are clean, unobtrusive, but effective – not an attempt to pile on effects, but rather to use them judiciously. Exactly as Dub At its core, it was conceived as an art of omission and emphasis. Despite its retro orientation, the production remains clear, powerful, and well-balanced. It's an album that's fun without being ingratiating. An album you can listen to without constantly thinking about how it was made—and at the same time, feel respect precisely for the fact that it sounds the way it does. For me, "Thing" is Dub"Think by" is one of Haris Pilton's finest works: balanced, focused, tasteful, and sonically astonishingly authentic. An album you can listen to in peace and quiet, but one that also immediately resonates when played loudly through good speakers. Yes, "Think Dub“by” sounds like a postcard to King Tubby, written with respect and full of love for the roots of Dub.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Never !

Or as the musical clown Grock would say:

“Not really possible” ……………………….. lemmi

Definitely AI!!! The worst thing is the producer is not being honest and transparent about it! Haris Pilton messed up with the wrong class…

Exactly! The worst combination….but he thinks he's the King!
King Con Pilton. He even stole/distorted my name decades ago...

Absolutely! This is what Haris Pilton has to offer in recent years. This soi-disant producteur prolifique is an imposteur!

Otherwise, I'm very pleased that the album has received another review here. It deserves it!
Bandcamp is probably the more honest streaming service, but I can't be everywhere at once. So I'm very happy to be able to offer this album on one of my platforms. DubHaving playlists on Spotify is great. That way I can listen to the album again and again during commercial breaks. Otherwise, I'll wait until it's released on CD or vinyl by Irie Records.
Yes, Haris Pilton's output is truly enormous. His sound and his DubJoy fascinates me from the very first note. And I even listen to music created with AI, and music that has virtually nothing to do with reggae, "from him." Often I flinch at first, only to realize on the second or third listen that there's really nothing to complain about.
Harris Pilton! I can only reiterate my appreciation for him. DubI'd like to thank the blog for featuring it here. Otherwise, I can't imagine any coincidence where I would have discovered it all on my own.
The review says everything about the album and quite a bit about Harris Pilton. I can't and don't want to add anything more.

Great album (available for streaming) ……………………….. lemmi

I went on to see what else this guy does and a lot of it it's obvious AI use. Complete nonsense and not welcome in this scene.

Why are you reviewing and supporting AI nonsense? I went on to see what else this guy does and a lot of it is obvious AI from music to images. I like to read dubblog, but if you continue reviewing AI slop in a positive manner, I'm done with this site.

My music is like the pyramids…
You can admire them or not. You can guess how they were built. You can come up with wild theories – maybe ancient aliens, maybe levitating stones, maybe Giorgio Tsoukalos with the hair saying, “I'm not saying it was aliens… but it was aliens.” But the truth is: nobody on Earth knows the exact process. And that mystery doesn't make the pyramids fake – it makes them legendary. Same with Think Dub.

Think of the old katana sword masters in Japan. They spent generations perfecting a secret technique of folding steel thousands of times, purifying it, tempering it, cooling it in exactly the right moment. It was sacred knowledge. Then centuries later, industry tried to “copy the recipe,” and yeah – you can make something that looks like a katana. But the soul, the touch, the craft, catching the essence, especially King Tubby's craftmanship? That stays with the masters. Some knowledge is simply not for everyone and that's fine.

And third… let's imagine the moon landing happened for real:
An astronaut trains for years. Sleeps in simulators. Studies physics, engineering, survival, navigation. Then sits on top of a giant metal tube filled with fuel (basically a controlled explosion) launches at insane speed using a computer weaker than a 1990s calculator,
escapes Earth's gravity, travels almost 400,000 km, lands on another cosmic body, steps outside, walks around, does his job, flies back, survives a capsule that heats like hell while entering the atmosphere, crashes into the middle of the ocean, gets picked up half-dead and dehydrated, comes home alive…
…and then some random dude who “produces every day” but hasn’t released a single track looks him straight in the eye and says: “No bro, you weren’t on the moon.” Can you imagine how stupid that looks from the astronaut's point of view? So trust me – your comment lands exactly like that. My workflow, craft, sessions, style, and knowledge – they exist.
I've been releasing albums non-stop for years. If someone who hasn't released anything yet thinks it's all AI, that says nothing about me… but it says everything about their level.

Totally agreed! You are the Kiiiing Mister Igor – or should I called you ChatGPT?!

And yes, no one else is right!
And I agree, your music is like a pyramid -. a pyramid made out of a turd!

Wow, look @ this egomaniac. I ain't gonna read your “ChatGPT” written nonsense. Never heard of you before and will most likely never hear of you after this. Facts:

Music -> AI with some editing
Illegally stealing other people music, vocals etc. -> AI stem separation
Album descriptions -> AI
Cover art -> AI

If you think you're gonna make it with this AI nonsense, you're in for a BIG surprise dude. Check yourself...

What a shame for! dubblog.de for not recognizing OBVIOUS AI slop. Your reputation just went down the drain.

There is no space for con-artists/scammers/dishonest people in the music world! No matter how many releases they did in the past and how big is their ego, if using AI: it should be explicit! Full stop!!!
And laws are being enforced on that direction – so basically, on top of being a scammer, will hurt him even more where it matters: on his pocket and in his butthole!

Back away! It stinks horribly!
…yes I man produce “every day” and have my own releases, work for other artists, and support them with mixing, arranging, and finishing songs. but me nah need attention or mention, i&i need authenticity, respect, trust, soul and love. and as a long-time producer, I man tell you, “bro, you haven’t been to the moon!” your ego is way too big, and you're fooling yourself! nothing is wrong with being honest. those who protect their lies embellish dem and tell a new lie to go with them…

Much love…!

I just have one question. Why!? Had to investigate, some of your past music & projects (pre AI tech) seem genuine (heavy use of samples but still) and then at one point it all became AI slop. I don't understand, you clearly have some skills to produce music. WHY ruin your reputation like this is beyond my comprehension.

Just another AI bullshit to feed the machines! Haris Pilton, just be honest with the people that follow you and say that today you are a fraud!

And why is Montego Bay Records mentioned on the AI-gen cover?

That's massive disrespect and fraud as the label does not have anything to do with this AI crap…

Dubblog you should be ashamed to make a review of AI music and artwork and allow this disrespectful “producer” to be on your blog.
Read it again: A SHA MED

4 and half stars for an AI release?! What is your criterion? DubBlog?
Are you also an AI-generated blog to be reviewing and supporting dishonest and egotistical producers?

With a heavy heart I have to say that Haris Pilton is a con-artist and I never collaborated with him on ANY of his releases and he illegally used my name on his AI-generated releases!

Also Montego Bay Records never heard of him or released any of his fake albums.

Be Aware – he's a scammer and he's profiting from it!

Well done Haris! But what about my royalties pay-check from the Doggy Brasco single IF**** YOU ?! Ghosting and leaving messages on read does not help your (already bad) reputation!

FYI you are not welcome in Texas or anywhere near!

Hi, could you please share links to some of your albums? I love the single you mentioned, I'd like to discover some of your original material. thanx

Why would you listen to AI slop? He might slap a real vocal, or one instrument on it, but it's still AI shit…

Hi Erik, thank you for your words, I'm glad you like the single!
And sure, here are the links:

https://suno.com/home
https://moises.ai
https://use.ai
https://chatgpt.com

You can make my next “original material” by yourself, like Haris Pilton did!

Same goes for other “artists and producers” that feature on his releases on Bandcamp like:
Chantelle Morgan – The Queen of Dub
The Snake
Jah Zukie Bazookie
Harris Pilton & The Hailers

And on YouTube:
Cassie Ford
Swamp Steamer Cartel
Balkan Voodoo Orchestra
The Gipsy Tornados
etc ...

You know Erik, the “good thing” is that everyone can make “Haris Pilton feat. Cassie Ford” upcoming (and old) singles by themselves using all the links above (like Mr. Pilton did).

When they are ready, share the tracks with me and the world but please don't be greedy like Haris Pilton….and share the profits. Thank you!

Dear Belgian DubBut, I know it's hard times, but don't be angry. AI is great, yesterday I did a video where I had sex with Cassie, and it was great then to masturbate watching it.
At least i virtually fucked, after being fucked by fraudsters.

Hello, this is the author of the article. Thanks for your opinions (some of which were phrased quite dramatically). To be honest: I hadn't noticed that the music was AI-generated. In general, I'm opposed to AI music as well. However, we need to be aware that the production tools used to create music change over time. From the perspective of classical musicians, music produced on a computer with Logic Pro is also often seen as inferior. So I'll be bold enough to suggest the thesis that AI might soon become just another standard production tool.
However, it's important to me that artists use it solely as a tool to support the creative process. Anyone who puts a lot of creative energy into crafting the perfect prompts, prompting individual stems, and finally mixing everything together might also be considered a kind of 'producer' – just with different means. What's crucial, of course, is that no creative work is copied or used unlawfully. But that goes without saying. And yes, it would be fair to be transparent about the AI-based production process.

From the post author

Okay, you're an author, so imagine if only AI/ChatXY articles were published on a topic you're passionate about, and then your lovingly crafted article, written with great understanding and care, wouldn't get the attention it deserves. Firstly, because there's a flood of articles overshadowing yours. Secondly, you can never promote it like the algorithms do. In that case, I think this tool is far too much and should be kept out of art (especially music and graphic design) and journalism. Where I find it acceptable, although others certainly have different limits—is in film animation, but not for dubbing or anything like that, more for highlighting animated special effects or so. It can also be helpful in some educational fields if used appropriately. For example, I also have these texts translated, but it doesn't hurt anyone except my own thinking and learning effort. Releasing something just because you've edited it is in my opinion, very weak. The other way around might be more justifiable: having your entire production analyzed with AI and then adjusting the mixing, mastering, etc., yourself. Or spell check at own writings/articles. I don't do it myself, but I see it as a possible tool. But writing prompts isn't an art; even that can be dictated to you. And who cares how creatively you write concepts if you can't implement them yourself or with other musicians?

Bro, the album is literally packed with stolen music from Tubby and he uses AI stem splitters to steal melodies, drums etc… These are not covers (where you basically play instrument parts yourself) but plain theft.

Please, do not review a SINGLE more album in your life.

Thank you René for stepping up and sharing your thoughts. It's important and very appreciated! But let's forget that this is AI-gen and let's focus on the worst part: pure lies and hiding the truth when the shit hits the fan.

Regarding this album cover (also made by AI):
Who's is Chantelle Morgan mentioned as Executive Producer?
What label is Montego Bay Records?
Who are all the other fake personas credited on HP releases on the last 2 years?

Using AI-gen is one (bad) thing – fooling people and hiding the truth is a completely different level of unprofessionalism and scamming!
Go figures!

So, if you use a DAW to create music, you still need to know what you are doing because it does not work just because you have a keyboard attached to a motherboard and therefore, you can type words on it asking AI machines to create some music for you. No DAW works like that! And yes, I agree that AI is a tool: an anti-creativity tool!

It's not appreciated. He just showed he is not nearly competent enough to seriously review music if he can't recognize the blatant theft and/or AI slops.

…but I'm glad it's out. sorry, Lemmy.

And your argument about hearing Mr. Pilton Ki music is sad and kind of like listening to rose-tinted glasses!

Okay. You have to know when you've lost. So I guess I'll just listen to the "Loser" song from Nosliv over and over again. Actually, it was pretty obvious I'd fall for this AI crap one day. The fact that it's Haris Pilton of all people is a complete disappointment. I thought the DubIt's actually really good for the most part. And if even the collaboration with Chantal Morgan is a fabrication, then I've really been taken in by a little crook. Well, I need to reflect on all of this. Do you also have to reflect on your taste in music? I don't think so, because if I like it, then it's good for me. And the fact that I even found, and still find, Haris Pilton's AI music good, or even fantastic, surprises me. I have to admit, I really like "Swamp Steamer Cartel." Not from beginning to end, but the first three tracks really impress me.
Whatever. Thanks to my rose-tinted glasses, I'm having a good time. And besides, I don't recall ever "arguing" for or against AI music. I'm completely against AI music, and I tried to explain why I still like it in this rare case. Furthermore, I even came to understand that Adrian Sherwood also experimented with AI. I still don't think it's great, but I can understand it from "his perspective" because I firmly believe that these "guys" have to try it out of sheer curiosity.
I find it very unfortunate that it had to come to this, because it seems as if Babylon is winning this "struggle" too. Due to the increasingly frequent use of AI and also its voluntary use by my... DubHeroes lacks the fun and identification with Dub And reggae, as well as music and art in general, at least for me, are practically nonexistent. I've always said here that I can't reliably identify AI. And it annoys me that I
AIDubI actually quite like the music. I don't even have to turn off instrumentals. But even if I don't have to turn it off, I DON'T WANT TO LIKE IT!
There are now two possibilities for me. Neither is pleasant. I feel awful either way. It's possible that a takeover by Russian TV took place over the weekend and that everything here is just "fake," or—and this would be much worse—that someone I greatly respect... DubWizard totally fooled me. Especially the thing with Chantelle Morgan; I'd be really shocked if there really wasn't any collaboration.
If "Chantelle" didn't post this herself, but some anonymous person did, then I'm completely out. At the moment, I can't really believe either version of events.
The DubThis blog has long been the only "social media" platform (or call it what you like) where I still post. But if I'm not even safe from fake news here, where else on the internet am I supposed to go?!
Please don't misunderstand. I don't mean the operators of DubBlog, but it seems certain to me that even people who know much more about computers than I do are not safe from fake news.

Fake done away …………….. lemmi

Lemmi, the use of Chantelle Morgan as a nickname was a call for awareness to everyone on this blog!

If you had clicked on the link above you had realized that is no such thing as Chantelle Morgan. Please check it for yourself – just google it and go through social media and try to find her – good luck!

But to make your life easier, below you can find the link again. Please have a look on the page, the description, how many followers, when it was created but specially the photos and see if it looks real.

There are also photos made by AI with Scratch and Tubby in the same page – if you know their faces and the original photos, you can EASILY realize how much of a scam this is! And how awful is to make up stuff using dead people (that can't defend themselves anymore).

Let the legends RIP!!!

Note: Lee Scratch Perry head and face looks like an alien and same goes for “The Queen of Dub“that no Dubhead that I know heard about it before. And same goes for Montego Bay Records that does not exist too!

Please do your research before you believe on anything these days.
And be aware of scammers like Haris Pilton!

I am very confused at the moment. So I need more time to see it as clearly as I can. But it is sure, that Facebook doesn't exist to me.
I didn't need it in the past, not in the present and I hope that I will never need it in the future.
At the moment, I don't trust anything. I can't put my finger on this link to facebook. To me its equal if you are laughing about this but I can't be sure that the link is not a Babylon thing or something like a contamination of my computer.
To me it has not been proven, that Haris Pilton is a scammer.
To me it is sure, that he is not the only one who uses AI tools in his working process. And he is not the only one Dub Producer who uses that tool. But at the moment it also seems to be sure, that Chantelle Morgan is just fanatic. So I have to check all these things in private contacts.
Another thing is, that Haris Pilton made music and Dubs since a time when AI was not in all our minds. I don't know how long Ai really exists. May be it exists since 20 years or more and all productions of Haris Pilton and many more were coming out with the help of AI. But in the case of Haris Pilton, to me it doesn't really matter where the music is coming from or how it was produced or mixed. The result is fine and in some cases fantastic.
To me it comes sure that Haris Pilton uses AI like many others Dub Producers as a tool. But the DubFlow and the psychological effects are real made by Haris. If not, he uses the best AI around the world. May be he is the inventor and the founder of "Dubai".
Alright! Our time comes harder and harder and harder. Not only because of Ai and digital fashism, its also the weather and the climate and the attitude of the richman.
No Chantelle, no cry! I don't believe that everything is gonna be alright but maybe the time will open my eyes and put away my “pink-panther” sun glasses………

So long………… lemmi

I managed to open Facebook page of imaginary “Chantelle Morgan – the queen of dub" before he deleted it. It's absolutely hilarious. AI generated photos you can recognize a mile away. This dude is an absolute joke. Why!? I just had to investigate, some of his past music & projects (pre AI tech) seem genuine (heavy use of samples but still) and then at one point it all became AI slop. I don't understand, he clearly has some skills to make & produce music. WHY ruin your reputation like this is beyond my comprehension.

Hello everyone, I can already see the problem with the release radar. A sensitive and critical pre-selection process should take place here. At the slightest suspicion that it is AI music, the Dubblog should refrain from featuring it. But we as readers also have a responsibility, because we should immediately send a message to the Dubblog if we suspect something, so that this trash disappears from the site immediately. We all need to work together sensibly to counteract this major concern. Let's unite to fight AI-generated music! That would help us all.

We demand:

1. A formal apology from reviewer posted at the beginning of the review, not the comment section.
2. Let all of this stay online as an example for the future

I really don't give a flying f* about mainstream using AI for music, videos, whatever… However, we need to protect true & underground music from this virus AT ALL COSTS! We need to say LOUD & CLEAR this kind of misleading behavior is NOT welcomed.

I overstand your reasons why you don't like Ai generated products. It's Babylon shit. I completely agree. However, what gives you the right to demand anything from the dubblogpeople? It is an offer which you can enjoy or not.

Respect! The review by Rene is written following the respect for each other. There is nothing to apologize because i/you/all can choose what to read/to hear.

It is a producer topic! They should clearly state out who play instruments or use digital products to create the sound/stems. So, we can decide by ourselves which instruments/sound equipment is acceptable or not.

It would be nice if the dubblogcreators can help us with their knowledge and experience by the decision between ai generated or not. However, if you know it better give us a hint without offense. Because what makes this music so special? What's the difference to pop music, rock music, classic music, AI music…?

Unity by JAHRASTAFARI!!!

Totally agreed! Rene's review or his lack of skills to understand wha is/is not AI-generated is not the topic! We (commenting on this review) all been fooled by an unethical body with a soul. Probably some for years, others for months, weeks or even days until the scam was clear as spring water.

Is not Rene that one should be “demanding” anything – if someone crossed a thick line was Mr Haris ChatGPTilton – he's the one that should and would be taking into accountability!

This is not just AI slop but is a whole creation of fake musicians/producers/labels/collaborations to con people (and profit from it as it's music is for sale digitally and on vinyl) and make him be seen as a very prolific and influent producer inside reggae/dub scenes (and not only).

Did anyone here ever hear about Balkan Voodoo Orchestra – a 14-piece band with members from Serbia, Greece, Israel, Turkey, India, Bulgaria, France, and other countries?

Who are the “amazing 14 musicians”? Where are the credits that EVERY musicians deserve to have, especially when they are REAL studio sessions musicians?

By Haris ChatGPTilton words on the release descripton they took the world stage and its otherwordly music LOL

At this stage, one can only laugh on his face for his attempts of trying to look like a good guy and/or a victim AND we should all be sure that the scam is exposed far and wide from this very humble blog. The scam is real and is affecting everyone worldwide!

PS I meant a “body WITHOUT a soul”. And his “music” and approach to it is a reflection of it!

This isn't a work process; you're just turning things on and off and switching a few effects on and off. The whole arrangement is simply made up of split stems and then slightly edited.

Anonymous – you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about – you are just jealous or have some other problem. I think you spend more time on social media than in a studio – and that’s why we still didn’t see/hear your work jet.

You are talking that? Think Dubby album is split (from where?) or ai generated or has anything to do with Ai – NO its not & you're wrong!

Beside my works I work with Jamaican artists and legends and make music for other artists and musicians since 2012. I have 4 my own projects and mostly I present them as imaginary characters something simmilar what band Gorillas do. They don't have problem with me, my work and my process – they have insight into my works because in most of cases I need to send them full song by tracks or they work with me in a studio.
If i'm honest i dont care what you think becuase you didnt prove yourself as a good & quality commentator on this page. Your comments are usually prove/disprove ones. – But nobody cares if you prove it or not. You are anonymous! who surprisingly knows a lot about Ai technology!

And at the end – if you don't like album or think that something is wrong with it you simply don't listen to it. There are many dub albums out there, and some King Tubbys tributes too!

I go back to craft my katana on the top of a pyramid on the dark side of the moon and stop wasting time on bad vibe vampire suckers.

“Think Dubby Vol.2“ is almost ready and coming out soon – this time also on video with mixing sessions and full tracks insight.

I'm out of this debate!

“bad vibe vampire sucker” is a good example of self-reflection and could be a new album or character name for you.

bro, seriously, do you think before you write a comment or even a prompt?! It seems to me you don't!

respect and love

Let's see that Doggy Brasco or whatever it's called… sessions. That one swarms with AI generated crap…

Also you have used a shit tone of basic “reggae” vst's and premade drum loops for this album but there is also copyrighted stuff you stem split and used on a COMMERCIAL record you are SELLING and that's ILLEGAL you fool.

My English is too bad for this topic, so I'll try again in German.
I also have no idea how to make good-sounding music with or without AI. However, I've had a little epiphany and I think I've finally grasped that AI in music doesn't necessarily mean that the music, lyrics, and vocals are always completely thrown together by AI, and possibly even... DubEffects are automatically "implanted" by AI, so to speak, arbitrarily. It might work that way, but ultimately it's not really effective. And if you then add your name or stage name to it, that's pure fraud and even self-deception.
All I can say is that Haris Pilton kept me informed about every invention he made – in relation to his music. I even knew that he was involved with "Think Dubby" worked with AI. Unfortunately, I forgot about it, as my memory only works in German, and I'm sorry about that. And to be honest, I probably didn't understand the irony, or perhaps I didn't properly understand the accompanying texts on his albums on, for example, Bandcamp. The lyrics there are written in such a way that anyone with a bit more intelligence than mine could have realized that they were inventions and fiction. This also includes...
Chantelle Morgan and also Montego Bay Records.
I was somewhat overwhelmed by these two "player haters" and even started to doubt Haris Pilton and myself. But as the haters have already admitted, Haris Pilton has some serious talent. DubHe produced it back when it was still called "ET" and not AI. In other words, he has a lot of experience and certainly a whole lot of skills, as they say.
And as René already wrote, nobody knows who's playing what, where, or how. That's not a question, most of us will probably still start out in a proper band. DubBut dreams are set when someone manages to make the music sound as if it were recorded by a band, and the DubIf effects, unlike AI effects, really make you think "curly wurly" in your head, then you should celebrate that and reward it with a review.
I certainly welcome that. And since there are hardly any DubIf there's a wizard in the world who hasn't already dabbled in AI in some way, I'm willing to accept that. If it sounds and feels as good as it does with...
"Think" Dub"by". I never understood what "Pro Tools" are, but I know they're also digital tools for editing sound and more. Microphones and amplifiers haven't been moved around the studio for a long time to make it sound like Studio One.
The two “Haris Pilton haters” are definitely much worse than any AI.
“El Gadze”, for example, will know what I mean ;-)

So long …………… .. lemmi

Hello Avenger, Anonymous, Nils Anders, Cassie Ford, Jane, Afável, Chantelle Morgan, Paris Hilton, or whatever else you call yourself. I just deleted your hurtful comment. I don't understand what your problem is, but please find another platform where you can vent your anger. DubPersonal insults – especially below the belt – are really out of place on a blog. Think about it: you're contradicting one of the fundamental ideas of Rastafari: One Love!

You can't reply to deleted comments. But if things get too ridiculous, then such measures are necessary.
Therefore, a few more words about "multiple personality" that I'd like to share with him. I'm also writing it in English, since it's so clear by now:
Dear Mr. Fake : If you really mean : "delete all the fake music reviewed in it and also delete the fake comments through out this blog. Specially from Haris Pilton, Lemmi, Headworks (and all the other fake personas he already created for more then a year). What about that?!"
It is very easy to answer your question and I have to say Thank you very much for this Own Goal Mr. Fake!

When you really mean, that my comments are fake, no one on earth knows it better than me, that my comments can't be fake, because it comes to public in the same words which I wrote in the Comments column of DubBlog.
There is nothing more to say. I can see clearly now that you have a problem with real life or call it as you like.
I am not fake! And my comments are really and truly! No one knows it better than me and that's enough for me.
What you might think is of no more significance to me.

Yes, keep deleting comments and showing how much you are a fraud supporter!

Here we go again – for the 3rd time:

Dear Speed ​​Over, you can delete whatever you like to feed your own sense of entitlement – ​​is all registered and kept safe to the world to see and your deleting comments atitude (aka censorship) not going to change the facts that Haris Pilton is a fraud, a narcissistic liar and a scammer of his own fans and followers!

And this is nothing to do with religion so keep the Rastafarian ideology out of this moral and serious issue!

Ps and if you wanna show yourself as a “wanna-be-a-moderator” start by having a serious way of commenting on this humble blog and delete all the fake music reviewed in it and also delete the fake comments through out this blog. Specially from Haris Pilton, Lemmi, Headworks (and all the other fake personas he created already for more than a year). What about that?!

The problem is created by HP and he will be taken into accountability (you want it or not).

Hey Avenger, Anonymous, Nils Anders, Cassie Ford, Jane, Afável, Chantelle Morgan, Paris Hilton, or whatever else you call yourself. Now you're making a complete fool of yourself! Don't you have anything better to do than insult people who comment here or sacrifice their free time to run this blog? What a pathetic attitude. Everyone here knows what to think of people like you. I just feel sorry for you.

Dear Ras Vorbei / Speed ​​Over or whatever you would like to be called: as far as I can see, nobody asked for you to speak for “everyone here” so…

Take your mask off and say to the mirror – I'm a fraud supporter and everyone can tell by my words and attitude!

To Haris ChatGPTilton and all his fake personas/profiles and imaginary alter-egos: you all got caught and now you are crying and offended! Now go and promptly your next albums so we can have more material to expose your lies!

I wouldn't even bother deleting it anymore.
He or it has utterly defaced the beautiful dedication to King Tubby by misusing it for his own purposes, to drag an honest and sincere music producer through the mud, for whatever reason. He goes way too far and even tries to portray his fans as something they are not. I'm not a fake! I'm really and truly!

No computer could possibly invent someone like me! How could anyone come up with such nonsense?!

From one anonymous person to another, what's going on with you? Why are you attacking other people and being so aggressive? I agree with you that HP is a huge narcissist and has problems with sharing information and his own self-perception. AI is in progress, and that's my perception and opinion (HP's comments don't change that, they only confirm it). I don't deny that he has a good ear for music and certainly some skills with a DAW, but: his reputation is really suboptimal for music lovers or people who value authenticity, especially in the... dub Cosmos. Everyone can do as they want, but everyone can also say and think what they want, as long as they don't hurt anyone!

Calling Lemmi a fake is the joke of the year, so let's just leave it at that (XD, I think that's something you do on the internet).

whether real or fake, stop the hate, it's not too late to elevate!

“in youre walking, in youre talking you got to remember the……!”

I don't like it at all. I don't like portraying so many characters or releasing things like that; it just makes it inauthentic and impossible to verify whether it's AI or not. And almost everything sounds like it, or rather, it's clearly AI to me given the frequency and the sheer amount of nonsense being spouted. There are far too many ambiguities in the musician credits, especially when there are actually some genuinely good tracks or collaborations. I don't like copying the sound and cover designs of big producers like Tubby, Lee, Errol, Scientist, and others – inspiration is something else entirely, this is imitation. And I don't like using names from Jamaica that don't exist!
Let him do it, I'll still listen in to form my own opinion and keep my horizons open to all forms of production – but I don't like it ;)!

Oh, I witnessed something like this again yesterday. Dub Spencer & Trance Hill gig at the Spinnerei in Bern. 100% human, 100% instruments, 100% sweat, 100% surround mix by Umberto Echo himself… what a treat!
And I didn't have to be suspicious or skeptical for a single second, wondering if someone was pulling my leg or pretending to be something they weren't. Just complete clarity! Brilliant.
That's how it has to be, period.

I think the different positions have become clear. Therefore, I am now closing the comments. Thank you to everyone who contributed constructively to the discussion.
