It is almost a curse to have current Dub How I envy all those music journalists who are allowed to deal with well-known hip-hop or pop artists! Artists who have an extensive oeuvre, about whom there are countless interviews, feature articles or even real scandals - in short: about whom there is a lot to tell. I, on the other hand, scour sparse Bandcamp biographies or stumble across carelessly maintained Instagram accounts. The concept of a "website" with a comprehensive discography and detailed artist biography? Apparently a relic of the past. So all that remains is the music. But let's be honest: as great as the experimental freedom in Dub They are, ninety percent of the productions differ from each other only in nuances. I then sit in front of my Mac and ask myself: What else can I write about this music that I haven't already said a thousand times? And while I ponder, my thoughts wander - into (self-)critical reflections like this one, which ultimately lead nowhere. Tragic. Why this digression? Because "Under My Voodoo“ (Mr. Woodwicker Records) by Mr. Woodwicker is another such case. On Bandcamp I only find out “Udine, Italy” and a meaningless side note that his music is from Dub of the 1970s. What a groundbreaking discovery! I can't tell you much more about this artist - except that his album "Under My Voodoo" is really beautiful Dub Yes, it breathes the spirit of the 70s, but is produced on a modern level in terms of sound. Hand-mixed Dubs, rich basses, riddims that sound familiar – but are not remakes. But hey – in the end the dubblog is nothing more than a competently curated Dubexhibition. You have the album title, so head over to Spotify, Bandcamp or wherever you listen to your music. Have fun!

Words!!!
Yeah man
We still have a lot of fun with the DubBlog. Your service is almost perfect thanks to the Release Radar. Without Release Radar I would probably never have come across this beautiful DubAlbum caught my attention. Unfortunately, something like that is no longer available in record stores and surprises me
when browsing through the record boxes in the record stores for music connoisseurs. Never mind! Not quite accurate, but people get used to almost everything. I also had to discover this human side of myself.
Although I actually like every Dub somewhere, of course I have my favoriteDubs and the Dubs by Mr. WoodWicker are definitely one of them. They seem so fresh and fluffy to me and are closest to reggae in their entire rhythm structure, which still reminds me most of the music that made me so addicted to this music. The fresh and enlightening sound, as well as the cheerful handling of the mixer and the effects is, for my taste, still the best kind of Dub, which creates the greatest euphoria in me. But, as I already mentioned, I (you) find in every variety of Dub always fascinating moments and even complete albums. For me, Mr. WoodWicker continues where Richie Phoe unfortunately left off long ago and where Haris Pilton currently sits on the throne.
Fluffier, happier Dub, which is bursting with primal power.
Yes, even though I wrote, “We’re having fun,” it’s of course my opinion and my feelings, which I didn’t want to, or couldn’t, keep to myself.
So, even if there is not much information about Mr. Woodwicker on the net, we are very competent (!), just by the release radar in DubBlog informed ……… if I may say so ;-)
DubBlog rules!!! ……………………. lemmi
Even though Lemmi has said almost everything, I will not spare myself my two cents. Dubblog is a source of inspiration for me and at least once a week at Christmas, when something new appears on the release radar or there is even a review. Of course, not everyone has a life/ourve like Lee Perry, but where should you get information about Dub so fine, up-to-date and concentrated to the point as here in the Dubblog. So, thank you for every single word! Big respect!
Yes, and Mr. Woodwicker hits the mark for me, the essence so to speak. It's not on a continuous loop, but it has everything my ears need. Nothing more, nothing less. I would love to see a clash between Paolo Baldini and Mr. Woodwicker, and the winner gets to play against the winner of the other duel, Roberto Sánchez vs. Prince Fatty...
Yo! Cool idea!
Names like Paolo Baldini, Roberto Sanchez, Prince Fatty and now Mr. Woodwicker create positive vibes in my brain. With all these “boys” every clash becomes a flash!!!
(Oh, what a creative poet I am today)
It just occurred to me that perhaps you can find more information about Mr. Woodwicker on the DarkNet ;-)
So long and have fun ……………… lemmi
