About two years ago I raved about “In Dub", The latest work of the Senior Allstars at the time and at the same time the first" real " Dub-Album of the instrumental band. At that time they had several Dub-Mixers invited to convert existing Allstars material into beautiful, classic Dubto transform s. What worked so well in the studio should now also work on the live stage. But how do you play Dub in front of an audience without degrading the musicians to mere material suppliers for the nerd behind the mixer? Quite apart from the fact that the live performance of a sound engineer is generally not very entertaining. The solution to this dilemma found by the Senior Allstars is as simple as it is ingenious: every musician mixes his own instrument. Equipped with a mixer and effects, this creates the actual interaction Dub-Mix - live & direct. A concept that has worked so well on the band's tours over the past two years that the Allstars answered the question about the next big album ("what next?") By using an entire studioDub- Record album - without overdubs or subsequent Dub-Mix. The result is now available and has the appropriate title: “What Next?” (Skycap). The question could also be: “Does it work?”. “Yes Sir!” One is tempted to exclaim, so very convincing the new work. Live atmosphere and nice, creative Dub-Mixes combine here in an ideal way. The album develops a wonderful flow into which the listener can let oneself fall, to listen to this or that instrument, to feel the groove or to follow an echo through space and time. But what is the form without the content? The real stars of the album are neither live atmosphere nor DubEffects - it is rather the extremely beautiful compositions that develop real song structures and go far beyond the "loops" on which many other things Dub- (or even Dubstep) album is built. You almost get the impression that these compositions were also created live, as if they were only formed at the moment when the sound leaves the instrument. Everything interlocks organically here, connected by the red thread of the Dub. What is available afterwards as a concrete recording is unique and unrepeatable. You could say that with the Senior Allstars Dub becomes jazz by Dub like an own instrument that plays around the performance of the musicians improvising and connects all the individual parts of a piece to a large, strong groove.
