Preorder the LP now at tunnelrecordssf.com or at nudierecords.com
The highly anticipated “Dubs From The Neighbourhood'', takes us on a musical journey inspired by road trips through small towns, sunshine, secluded beaches and lush green landscapes. This is deep dub in the most classic of forms; taking cues from those that have come before while adding flourishes of a sonic palette completely new. While the idyllic scenery invoked on the cover is typically associated with a carefree joy, the album adds details and textures that nod to the inevitable flipside of grief and loss that are experienced alongside life's journeys.
Christoph El Truento is a long time player in the musical landscape of Aotearoa as a producer and DJ. Although reggae and dub was the music that first caught his attention, Christoph spent his first decade of adulthood exploring the possibilities of producing hip-hop, jazz, electronica, ambient, and post-punk. Coming full circle, he has used the sum of what he’s learned to put a South Pacific twist on traditional dub.
Crowned as one of the “10 Best Albums of the Year” by Rolling Stone Australia, this notoriously elusive artist continues to surprise both critics and his dedicated fanbase with each release.
Tunnel Records and Nudie Records are delighted present this record for US audiences as an essential Dub album necessary for any collection.
