about

Thuggin is gnarly, dubbed into the spirit of a looming storm, no sight of the inevitable peace to follow until the impenetrable funk has passed.

Champagne Dub is a mission in space-dub whose ‘crew’ took a few too many wrong turns. “We are here to bring raw metamorphic rock-rituals that escaped our minds.”

Joining On the Corner as the label heads full steam to 10 years of Interstellar Sound, Champagne Dub continue the vein of sonic bravery and gesamtkunstwerk. The bubbling alchemy of this wildly oscillating four piece is as ethereally potent as the perfected elements that swirl in it’s climatic maelstrom.

Betamax (Comet is Coming / Soccer 96 / Coma World) drew Goller, Noodles and Ed into Catto’s studio and cut loose across the realms of sonic booms and poly-rhythms.

Mr Noodles, the Peruvian Performance artist cuts an uncomfortable figure in the recording studio. Kinetic energy flowing from a spring of mysteriously paranoid fits of spontaneous movement, Noodles is vulnerable and dangerous. Cryptic words are spunked from the subconscious and lie scattered across the band’s rhythmic engine-room. Ruth Goller’s bass tones geometrically tumble over the cluttered floor of Betamax’s dirty drums and percussion.
Turn to Ed Briggs, the medieval sound scientist, convulsing in the corner as his unreliable, self-assembled electronics drain the remaining energy from what seems to be a living but barely-live power source, spewing their sonic debris at the spinning wheels of tape delay.

The bubbling alchemy of this wildly oscillating four piece is as ethereally potent as the perfected elements that swirl to a climatic maelstrom, ebbing away inevitably to a formless illusion.
