May: I Come Again - Fab. Trip 28

On February 28, 2024 I shared the final trip-hop February entry, Half Dub Theory’s - Value here. 

Half Dub Theory are from Russia & the following was self-released. Not being on a major label, it is not readily available. I decided that while I was hitting some highlights of trip-hop month I should include another on from HDT. 

 

Half Dub Theory here are: Макс Куббе (Max Kubbe) - guitar, vocals; Марина Скалозуб (Marina Skalozub) - vocals; & Андрей Большаков (Andrey Bolshakov) - guitar, synthesizer, sampler, turntables. 

Remember, in theory it's only half Dub.

Fab, Trip 28

All of you familiar with this mess know my love of Dub. So, applying the Theory of Half Dub with the other half made up of portions of hip-hop, soul, breakbeat...whatever gets thrown into the mix sounds like it oughta come out with some sweet Trip-hop to my feeble reckoning. Give it a ear, what do you hear???

 

Half Dub Theory came together as a band in St. Petersburg, Russia in 2006. The band is made up of: Marina Skalozub - vocals; Max Kubbe - guitars, vocals; & Andrey Bolshakov - synthesizers, samplers, turntables. Their music combines Dub, soul, jungle, hip-hop, indie rock, & glitch. They have drawn comparisons with the original Bristol sound. They have toured extensively & shared stages with Massive Attack & Robin Guthrie to name-drop a couple...
