GHOST DUBS
Michael Fiedler, announces his rebirth as GHOST DUBS with ‚Damaged,‘ his first album for The Bug’s PRESSURE label.
After his experimental ‚Dub Over Science‘ LPs, the German producer pushes his sound even further with twelve new tracks of dub deviance.
Ghost Dubs takes the fusion of dub techno and ambient drone beyond the legacy of Berlin’s Chain Reaction label, creating a sound that disintegrates in your eardrums.
Machines dominate the mix, yet Fiedler’s soulful touch remains, making ‚Damaged‘ a hypnotic, sedated exploration of low-end grooves.
With its blend of bewitching ambience and heavyweight bass, ‚Damaged‘ showcases Fiedler’s live dubbing mastery, adding an improvised, chaotic edge to the album.
If you crave submerged melodies, narcotic dub, and evaporating beats, ‚Damaged‘ is your perfect entry into Ghost Dubs‘ spectral soundworld.
[…] ““If David Lynch had ever been driven to dub, it might well have sounded like this….an early contender for best of the year“ – Steve Barker / The Wire Magazine
[…] “Most of the action is happening on the edge of what the ear can hear
[…] air-compressing, room-shaking bassline bliss. Your neighbours won’t thank you, but your consciousness will.” – Electronic Sound Mag
[…] “Damaged is an absolute immersive triumph, a furnace-reduced, machine-tooled groove of hypnotic, ever evolving high-density inner ear-bliss.” – Mojo Mag
[…] “distills ambient dub into a wispy, wraithlike form. … Where Ghost Dubs stands out is in the intensity of his productions.
Lots of people have tried their hand at this tradition, but few have achieved the heaviness, or the strangeness, of Ghost Dubs’ best work.“ – Pitchfork
[…] „Damaged is comfortable yet eerie, and it goes back and forth between dream and reality… Listening to the album gives the feeling of a near-death experience.“ – Yuta Umegaya
[…] “Record of the Week” – „As you might expect from a record released on The Bug’s Pressure label, this thing is weighty. It’s almost as if it has its own gravitational pull.“ – The Quietus
[…] „I have to admit that “Damaged” is something like the essence of Dub embodied. The distillation of 50 years of bass music.“ – DubBlog.de
