Umberto Echo: The Name of the Dub

The man from Munich lays regularly Dub Wizard Umberto Echo a new one every two years DubAlbum before. "The name of the Dub“(Echo Beach) is the title of his new work and the cover shows him with a bass box and mixer in the midst of countless piles of books piled high. Among them such weighty works as “Roots of Dub","Dub Alamanac "," Battle of Dub" and "Dub for Dubbies “. Even if your name is not William von Baskerville, the puzzle is quickly solved. Umberto Echo alludes to "The Name of the Rose" by its namesake Umberto Eco. We remember: The book is about the “second book of poetics” by Aristotle, in which - after the tragedy in the first part - the comedy is treated. A book whose pages were poisoned by the sinister monk and custodian of the monastery library, Jorge von Burgos, because he considered the positive attitude to joy and laughter represented in this book to be too dangerous. Nobody should read it and survive this act of iniquity. But now Umberto Echo comes along, kicks monk Jorge hard in the buttocks and plays us 17 forbidden tracks from the book of joy and laughter. Instead of looking at the transcendent dimension of Dub to swear (as Aldubb did so excellently with his last album), or even look forward to a supposedly only true school of Dub Wanting to commit, Umberto Echo simply grabs the controls and spreads pure fun. Lively mixes the genres - as we are used to from him - and bangs bass, melodies and good-humored productions around our ears that it's a pleasure. To do this, he again falls back on productions by musicians who are friends and concentrates fully on the Dub-Mix. Minimalism and deconstruction are not his thing. Almost all Dubs are full of life and rich in melodies, sounds and Dub-Effects. It fits well into the picture that some of the Dubs on popular tunes from z. B. Dubmatix, Sara Lugo, the Senior Allstars, Jahcoustics or Jamaram, whose original vocal versions still ring in your ears when Mr. Echo starts to play his playful ones Dub-Versions to vote. Nice side effect: The whole thing is a really nice showcase of European reggae productions. Long write, in short: they parted with Echo's “Elevator Dubs “nor the spirits, so are here, in the name of Dubeveryone having fun.
