The most fantastic modern dub from West Country reclusive genius Ott, whos album really is over the top in quality, depth and shinning brilliance. Spacey strings, chants, otherworldly noises and pertinent samples collide with his massive rub a dub beats and bass. Otts music is a world to its own, a pure undiluted atmospheric world of swirling stoned sound and colour. Indian to Arabic to African Otts dubs are boundaryless and boundless in their, scope and strength. Otts music is a paradox of dub, not stereotypically slow heavy sounds but at once an upbeat dancey dub full of light, world chants and funky beats, while still maintaining a slow and relaxed ambient groove. Following on from his Hallucinogen In Dub album (TWSCD16) for Twisted Records this solo album is a selection of clean hard grooves and the best dub studio skills, echo, delay, phasing, instruments popping up out of the murk and then submerging again, skills of which Ott is a particular maestro. Ott is no stranger to the studio, he has for the last 20 years been producing arranging and recording some of the most famous artists including Sinead O'Connor, The Orb, and Brian Eno. Working in a wide range of the best studios in the land from SARM East and West, Real World, and Ridge Farm to Foel in Wales. He has been interviewed in the producers/engineers bible Sound on Sound and is currently managed by Strongroom Management UK. He continues to work with many famous artists and along his travels has met up with our own master producer Simon Posford aka Hallucinogen, editing Shpongle. After hearing his studio skills Simon commissioned him to make this modern dub album as an antithesis to his own hurtling trance music. The results are as you shall see are startling, a stunning example of modern dub and one that is massive with all dance music and ambient music fans across the globe.
