NMC Track of the Day for October 3, 2006: Dubmatix "My Selecta"

In the Alexis Mazurin studio at CBC Radio 3, broadcasting across North America on SIRIUS 94, the main software program is called Selector. My terrible (and long-running) joke, while working on-air late at night, is to yell, "Selecta - wheel it back!"

Well, I do enjoy the title of this new track by Toronto's Dubmatix, but I love the song as well. From the excellent new album, Atomic Subsonic, "My Selecta" has my head nodding 'cause my neck knows it's fat.

In other words,

Classic sounds of 70s roots & dub reggae along with terrifying new "Electro-Dub" stylings. Dubmatix brings you a dirty mashup that features roots, dub & electro-dub - a hybrid of roots reggae tradition and electro nastiness.

How about some Canadian dub styles for your NMC Track of the Day?

but does yo' neck know it's phat?

My two greatest finds of late are 1) this song that was tucked away at the end of podcast soixante et onze, and 2) the track by Isis on the See Vous Play special podcast being pimped by some chick ;)

I dig on both ditties, yes thanks.

Denise Benson, Eye Weekly music columnist, local T.O. DJ and radio show host of CKLN's Mental Chatter, recently reviewed the new disc:

from http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/dubmatix2 -- she posted it herself, from the looks of things:

DUBMATIX **** Atomic Subsonic (7 Arts / Fusion III) Toronto's Dubmatix is a leading light in the world of contemporary dub. Not only has King listened to and learned from the masters like King Tubby, he creates music that is authentic, respectful and adventurous. Champion Sound Clash (2004) brought Dubmatix to the global stage; Atomic Subsonic proves he deserves to be there. More deeply roots-informed that its predecessor, Atomic Subsonic sees Dubmatix working with a number of vocalists, Freddie McGregor, Howie Smart and our own soulful sensation Treson among them. This trio contributes to some of the album's strongest and most conscious selections: "Senseless Killing Dub," "Rough Times" and the awesome "Dirt, Dust & Sand." King comes rougher with "Who A Di Boss Dub" (featuring Anthony B), and album closer "My Selecta, " the most overtly electronic of the bunch. Throughout, Dubmatix rubs the dub right.

Tirelessly giving props to - er - phatness from across Canada, to achieve the legendary status of some chick. Sigh.

I can't get enough of that Isis track, either.

Maybe you guys want to check out some Dubmatix remixes (from a contest promoted in part by Denise Benson) that have been posted on the Dubmatix MySpace blog ...
